  • Santa Maria Manuela Manual
    SANTA MARIA MANUELA SHIPS MANUAL FOR TRAINEE GUESTS WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Santa Maria Manuela (SMM) was launched on May 10 1937, in Lisbon, Portugal. The ship was built in the CUF shipyard in 62 days, together with its sister ship Creoula. The moment when the hull of SMM touched the waters of the River Tagus was witnessed by thousands, capturing the hearts of the people of Portugal, and marking the beginning of an iconic journey. Between 1937 and 1993, SMM transported thousands of sailors to Newfoundland and Greenland in the pursuit of cod, the prize catch for the people of Portugal. Life was harsh onboard. Sailors had to contend with cramped cold conditions below decks, and above with the bitter chill of the north winds, frequent storms and long hours fishing the perilous seas of the Grand Banks in small boats. In 1940 a new danger emerged; the submarines of the II World War. Santa Maria Manuela is one of the last ships of the mythical White Fleet – a group of cod-fishing vessels that had their hulls painted white to avoid being torpedoed during the military conflicts. Between 2007 and 2010 the ship was rebuilt by the fishing group Pascoal, and subsequently was taken on by Recheio Cash & Carry, part of the Jeronimo Martins Group. The farsighted vision of the current owners has created a culture of sail training, expedition, exploration and team development aboard the Santa Maria Manuela. Passenger trainees are welcomed aboard as members of the sailing crew. During your voyage you will be given every opportunity get personally involved in the sailing of the ship.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6(3/81) ii ABSTRACT Voyages of discovery could not be entertained until the advent of three-masted ships. Single-sailed ships were effective for voyages of short duration, undertaken with favourable winds. Ships with two masts could make long coastal voyages in the summer. Both these types had more or less severe limitations to sailing to windward. To sail any ship successfully in this mode it is necessary to be able to balance the sail plan accurately. This method of keeping course could not reach its full developemnt until more than two sails were available for manipulation.

  • What the Galley Crew Should Know
    Galley Crew Galley Crew Responsibilities The Galley Crew is responsible for cooking and will be serving a snack, dinner and breakfast. Except for the snack which must be made ahead of time and brought aboard, the Captain will supply all the food and cooking equipment. The Galley Crew will be cooking on a wood-burning stove and therefore responsible for maintaining the fire in the stove. The Galley Crew may also be called on deck to work with other crews, including raising the staysail. The Galley Crew does not stand night watch, but will rise early at 0400 to cook breakfast. What the Galley Crew should know: Information from the All Crew Packet How to tie a bowline, cleat hitch and square knot How to read directions and ingredients on a recipe for the meals they will prepare and to prepare a snack ahead of time to be served on the day of the program The vital importance of handling kitchen knives safely, and being very careful around hot pots, stoves, and liquids Snack The Captain expects a snack to be served in the late afternoon to the entire crew, including the officers of the ship. It is preferable that the snack is homemade and baked (cookies, brownies, or breads). Preparation of a snack prior to the voyage will also help the crew practice reading recipes, measuring quantities, timing of the cooking, baking and figuring out rations (portions). THIS WILL BE DONE BY THE CREW AND NOT BY THE TALL SAILORS. If items are purchased (like granola bars) for the snack, please make sure they are removed from any individual wrappings.

Work A Thesis in the Field of Sustainability and Environmental Management for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 Copyright 2016 Fraser W. Work Abstract This project explores a Canadian warship’s propulsion and electrical energy use patterns to define energy baselines and determine if the ship would be able to save energy without compromising mission capability. The study also aims to define the key factors preventing more efficient energy use, and suitable technical and behavioral options to reduce overall mission fuel consumption. The author postulates that improved energy efficiency can coincidentally improve mission, cost and environmental performance. This study defines a Canadian Patrol Frigate’s energy baselines for a single warship between July 2015 and March 2016. HMCS VANCOUVER (VAN) machinery control system and bridge logbook data were combined to define the ship’s daily trends for both propulsion and electrical energy, and determine what opportunities were available to meet speed demands, using more efficient engine configurations.

Having lost three ships to hurricane on his second voyage, Columbus—who had possessed the foresight to bring shipwrights with him to the settlement of Isabela—had the 50-ton caravel Santa Cruz constructed from their broken timbers in the summer of 1495. Designed as a sister ship to Niña (who had successfully weathered the storm), she was quickly given the appropriate moniker India by her Spanish seamen, and safely reached Cádiz a year later on 11 June 1496 (Morrison 1942: 491; Phillips and Phillips 1992: 211).

Hamilton James M. Rosenheim Head of Department, Donny L. Hamilton May 2008 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT The History and Development of Caravels. (May 2008) George Robert Schwarz, B.A., University of Cincinnati Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Luis Filipe Vieira de Castro An array of ship types was used during the European Age of Expansion (early 15th to early 17th centuries), but one vessel in particular emerges from the historical records as a harbinger of discovery: the caravel. The problem is that little is known about these popular ships of discovery, despite the fair amount of historical evidence that has been uncovered. How big were they? How many men did it take to operate such a vessel? What kind of sailing characteristics did they have? How and by whom were they designed? Where did they originate and how did they develop? These questions cannot be answered by looking at the historical accounts alone. For this reason, scholars must take another approach for learning about caravels by examining additional sources, namely ancient shipbuilding treatises, archaeological evidence, surviving archaic shipbuilding techniques, and iconographic representations from the past.
