  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

Herring is a small oily fish related to mackerel and pilchards, feeding mainly on plankton, and shoaling in gigantic numbers. It is an abundant food source for many animals including gannets and gulls, cod, bass and sharks, and dolphins, seals and whales. Racks of kippers in a smokehouse Herring follow an annual migration cycle from feeding allowed to drift so keeping the nets taut.

  • Commodore Finalthesis Kimberlyeslinger 02.Pdf (3.762Mb)
    76 The Theories: The documentary record leaves a few theories that need exploration if the reason for Commodore’s loss is to be determined. There are allegations of treason, deliberate scuttling, overloading, seams bursting, blocked pumps, and misunderstood valves. The only two informants following the tugboat’s loss who refused to speculate were Crane and Captain Murphy. Archaeologists, historians, and divers at Commodore’s wreck site have sought answers to the alternate hypotheses for over two decades. At this time, there is no way to prove or disprove any of the newspapers’ theories without excavating the site, an option considered unsuitable at this time within the current research design. Although it is impossible to determine from the documentary record what caused Commodore to sink on January 2, 1897, it is possible to partially recreate the ship’s final moments from the wreckage strewn on the seafloor. First, however, the site had to be found. The unlikely teaming of an English professor from Jacksonville University and a diver from Daytona Beach led to the discovery of the site believed to be the sunken Commodore. CHAPTER V: “SAVE FOR THE TOPS, WHICH WERE OF FOAMING WHITE:” THE SITE: Discovering Commodore: Newspaper accounts at the time of Commodore’s loss claim the ship sank “twenty fathoms below the surface, about eighteen miles north of Mosquito Inlet” (Florida Times- Union, January 3, 1897). The ship’s loss in 120 feet of water more than eighteen miles from shore made locating the lost Commodore difficult at best. How then was the vessel found? If Commodore suffered the same fate as other “rediscovered wrecks” what salvage work has occurred at the site? This chapter addresses the discovery, state of the site, and salvage attempts made at the site believed to be the lost Commodore.
