Parts of a Ship: The Basics PORT SIDE MAIN FORE MAIN WINDLASS STERN AFT BOW TILLER MAST MAST HATCH HATCH STARBOARD SIDE Overhead view of the schooner Sultana he front of a ship is called the bow, and the back is called the stern. If you were standing T on the ship’s deck looking forward (towards the bow), the left side would be the port side and the right side would be the starboard side. Close to Sultana’s stern is the tiller, a long stick attached to a device called a rudder used for steering the ship. Other important items include the main mast, the fore mast and the windlass (a large simple machine used for pulling up the anchor). POOP DECK QUARTER DECK MIDDLE DECK FORE DECK MAIN TILLER HATCH ultana’s deck is divided into four sections. At the front of the ship is the fore deck, where S the anchors are stored and the fore mast is located. The largest section of the ship is the middle deck where the main hatch is located. Historically, this is where cargo would have been loaded and unloaded. Towards the ship’s stern is the quarter deck. On larger ships, only the high ranking officers were allowed to stand in this area. Sultana’s smallest deck is the poop deck, where sailors steered with the tiller.

West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

An Analytical Approach to the Question of a Clock Change
An Analytical Approach to the Question of a Clock Change by Samuel Halpern One of the ongoing arguments that continues to be brought up is the question of whether or not clocks on Titanic were put back some time before the accident took place Sunday night, April 14, 1912. Some of the deck crew, awakened by the accident at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time, thought that it was close to the time that they were due to take their watch on deck, which would be at 12 o’clock. Despite Boatswain’s Mate Albert Haines, who was awake and on duty at the time, testifying that “The right time, without putting the clock back, was 20 minutes to 12,” there are some that try to argue that a 24 minute clock adjustment had already taken place, and the time of the accident on an unadjusted clock still keeping April 14th time would have been 4 minutes past 12. The underlying question that would resolve this issue is the run time from noon Sunday to the time of the accident. If the run time from noon to the time of the accident was 11 hours 40 minutes, then no clock change had yet taken place, and the time of collision was 11:40 p.m. in unadjusted hours. If the run time was more than 12 hours, then there was a clock change of some 23 or 24 minutes, and the time of collision was 11:40 p.m. in adjusted hours. It really is that simple. So how do we determine the actual run time from the available evidence that does not have to rely on subjective estimates such as time intervals or other measures that people may have perceived? The answer is to take an analytical approach to the problem using the taffrail log mileage data offered by quartermasters George Rowe and Robert Hichens at the inquiries.

An Orientation for Getting a Navy 44 Underway
Departure and return procedure for the Navy 44 • Once again, the Boat Information Book for the United States Naval Academy Navy 44 Sailing Training Craft is the final authority. • Please do not change this presentation without my permission. • Please do not duplicate and distribute this presentation without the permission of the Naval Academy Sailing Training Officer • Comments welcomed!! “Welcome aboard crew. Tami, you have the helm. If you’d be so kind, take us out.” When we came aboard, we all pitched in to ready the boat to sail. We all knew what to do and we went to work. • The VHF was tuned to 82A and the speakers were set to “both”. • The engine log book & hernia box were retrieved from the Cutter Shed. • The halyards were brought back to the bail at the base of the mast, but we left the dockside spinnaker halyard firmly tensioned on deck so boarding crew could use it to aid boarding. • The sail and wheel covers were removed and stored below. • The reef lines were attached and laid out on deck. • The five winch handles were placed in their proper holders. • The engine was checked: fuel level, fuel lines open, bilge level/condition, alternator belt tension, antifreeze level, oil and transmission level, RACOR filter, raw water intake set in the flow position, engine hours. This was all entered into the log book. • Sails were inventoried. We use the PESO system. We store sails in the forward compartment with port even, starboard odd. •The AC main was de-energized at the circuit panel.

Sea Kayak Handling Sample Chapter
10 STERN RUDDERS Stern rudders are used to keep the kayak going in a straight line and make small directional changes when on the move. The stern rudder only works if the kayak is travelling at a reasonable speed, but it has many applications. The most common is when there is a following wind or sea pushing the kayak along at speed. In this situation, forward sweep strokes are not quick enough to have as much effect as the stern rudder. A similar application is when controlling the kayak while surfi ng. A more ‘gentle’ application is when moving in and out of rocks, caves and arches at slower speeds. Here, the stern rudder provides control and keeps the kayak on course in these tight spaces. Low angle stern rudder This is the classic stern rudder and works well to keep the kayak running in a straight line. It is best combined with the push/pull method of turning with a stern rudder (see below). • The kayak must be moving at a reasonable speed. • Fully rotate the body so that both hands are out over the side. • Keep looking forwards. • Place the blade nearest the stern of the kayak in the water as far back as your rotation allows. • The blade face should be parallel to the side of the kayak so that it cuts through the water and you feel no resistance. 54 • The blade should be fully submerged and will act like a rudder, controlling the direction of the kayak. • The front hand should be across the kayak and at a height between your stomach and chest.
