Not a breath of wind stirred on deck, but upper air currents filled the skysails and royals, gently propelling the vessel along. The morning air was already sweltering. The crew, all barefoot and mostly shirtless, moved lethargically in the tropical heat. Those not on duty sought shade where they could find it or lazily dangled fishing lines in the water. All the hatches, skylights, and portholes were open to admit air, making it tolerable for those below decks. Since crossing the equator two days before, the ship had been slipping slowly north through a series of hot and windless days. But that was about to change. The captain of the Hornet was Josiah Mitchell, fifty-three years old, capable and levelheaded, with an inexpressive face hidden under a bushy beard.

  • Investigation of Abandoned WW II Wrecks in Palau
    Investigation of Abandoned WW II Wrecks in Palau Tomo Ishimura1 Abstract Over forty Japanese vessels were sunken in the water of Palau during WWII. Some wrecks sunk in the shallow water at a depth of 20 meters or less and were salvaged. Other wrecks at 30 meters depth or more still remain and are legally protected by the authority of Palau Government but are seriously threatened by illegal treasure hunters. Initial efforts to identify human remains of Japanese soldiers were made in 2005. As part of an archaeology advisory team for the Japanese Government I carried out underwater surveys of sunken WWII vessels in Palau. In 2010 and 2011, I conducted investigations of the WWII vessels again, together with on-shore research on sites and features associated with the Japanese occupation period, funded by the Takanashi Foundation for Arts and Archaeology (Japan). The research revealed that the most of the vessels sunken in Palau were not genuine military vessels of Japanese Imperial Navy or Army but converted vessels originally built for non-combat purposes. These vessels were slow in speed and not well-equipped for combat activity. Most of them were destroyed by American aerial bombing on March 30th 1944. The evening before (March 29th) the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, including its flagship Musashi, retreated from Palau. It is clear that the vessels left in Palau were abandoned as a “third wheel” of the Combined Fleet. These abandoned-converted vessels include cargo carriers, tankers, whaling boats and fishing boats. This implies that Japanese troops were experiencing a difficult and desperate campaign at that time.

  • Trabalhos De Arqueologia 18
    Sources for Lusitanian shipbuilding ❚ RICHARD BARKER ❚ Introduction “...Still there is more. In the ancient archives of the kingdom, at whose head I found myself, there exists a most ancient manuscript that is a contract between the king D. Afonso III and the Master of the Knights of Santiago, Paio Peres. In that document it is determined that the tribute of mermaids and other animals fished on the beaches of the same Order ought to be paid not to the Master but to the Kings. From which it is easy to collect that mermaids were frequent in our waters, seeing that a law had been promulgated about them. Enough: it is not worth continuing to speak of tritons, sea-nymphs and mermaids, and we renew the thread of the discourse”. Damião de Gois, Lisboa de Quinhentos, 1554 (Gois, 1554-1937, p. 30)1, offers this sad tale of over-fishing in the third quarter of the thirteenth century. The same might have been said of the wrecks of Portuguese ships, whose absence had been the source of some woe to schol- ars such as João da Gama Pimentel Barata and Octávio Lixa Filgueiras. After all, it was Por- tuguese ships that really opened up the world in the fifteenth century, and even much of the so-called Spanish Armada had actually been seized from the Portuguese arsenals. Happily, the sirens have finally led our Portuguese colleagues to the true fishing grounds. Perhaps the mer- maids will follow. Portugal has a maritime history out of all proportion to its size, but after a brief survey, towards the overall theme of the conference, this paper will concentrate on three aspects of nau- tical archaeology that have been illuminated by the contents of Portuguese libraries.

  • Handling Storms at Sea : the Five Secrets of Heavy Weather Sailing
    HANDLING STORMS AT SEA Overleaf: What is blue-water sailing really like when it’s stormy and big seas are running? Here’s my Santa Cruz 50 hurrying eastward near Marion Island in the Southern Ocean. The ever-faithful windvane is steering nicely while I play with the mainsail reefs and adjust the sails as the boat races through the water and makes great whooshing sounds as she surfs forward on a wave. You know that the yacht will rise up as the next crest comes, but sometimes you wonder if she is buoyant enough. You take a deep breath and say a silent prayer.

Byron’s Narrative of the Cruises of the U.S. Frigate Constitution USS Constitution Museum Collection [1294.1] © 2018 USS Constitution Museum | usscm.org Narrative of the Cruises of the U.S. Frigate Constitution By Thomas C. Byron Charlestown January 1861. On the return of the Constitution from France, Captain Haraden then Captain of the Yard overhauled her and put her in sailing order for Captain Hull, he having sailed in her before. We took in river water for the cruise and provisions and dropped down to Alexandria where we lay when the Declaration of War was read on board the officers and crew giving three cheers, shouting a gold chain or a wooden leg, this was the spirit of that noble crew. The next morning we dropped down the river and on the 4th of July lay at Annapolis where we fired at a target with large and small guns. Next morning we sailed for Boston and when crossing Nantucket Shoals fell in with a Brittish squadron seven in number, the african sixty four, Guerriere, Shannon, Belvidere, Eolus, & Trinadis. I believe we fell in with them in the night, the next morning it was calm and foggy and they were not more than two thirds gun shot off. Captain Hull then said to his men, we are almost surrounded but before I will give up the Ship I will blow her up and go with her; we then give three cheers and the Captain ordered the pursers Steward to bring up bread butter and cheese on the quarter Deck.
