  • Fixed and Removable Railing Sections Around Titanic's
    Fixed and Removable Railing Sections Around Titanic’s Forecastle Deck By Bob Read, D.M.D. Introduction The railings around Titanic’s forecastle deck are complex in their set-up. I’m not sure if I have ever seen them modeled accurately other than on a digital model. For conventional models it would probably require a custom made photo-etched railing set to model the railings accurately. I know of no commercially available photo-etch railings sets which are accurate. This article will describe the forecastle railing set-up for Titanic. Drawings will be primarily used because there aren’t many photos which show the railing details in sufficient resolution. Removable Railing Sections Titanic’s forecastle deck used 5 bar railings. In order to be able to accommodate the working arrangements of the forecastle, a number of removable railing sections were employed. In Figure 1 a general arrangement for Olympic shows five removable railing sections per side. On the plan these sections were called “portable railings”. The term “removable” will be used in this article because “portable” implies that the railing section could be used elsewhere. Olympic G/A plan showing removable railing sections Figure 1 On both Titanic and Olympic there were actually six removable railing sections per side. Figure 2 shows the starboard side of Titanic’s forecastle with removable railing sections numbered. Removable railing sections of Titanic’s starboard forecastle Figure 2 Each of these removable sections will be shown in Figures 3-8. Go to next page Removable railing section #1 Figure 3 Removable railing section #2 Figure 4 This section is somewhat different in set up.

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.

CLAPP OF NANTUCKET DEAR OLD BOY: Although nearly fourscore years have silvered your head, you yet retain your mirth and sense of humor, as evidenced by your frequent letters, which have been to me a source of inspiration. To you, then, in memory of the many pleasant days passed in genial companionship in old Montevideo, S. A., upwards of forty years ago, this work is affectionately dedicated by THE AUTHOR. BOSTON, 1908. PREFACE " " CAPTAIN, why don't you write a book? This question has been often asked me when relating some tale of adventure or humorous anecdote of my sea life. " For the reason that I know nothing of book writing," " I have replied. A school experience of seventy years ago, cut short at the age of twelve years, was not likely to leave a boy, however bright, with a high order of literary attainment." But, as years rolled on, after giving up the sea as a profession, I concluded to jot down from memory my quarter-century's sea experience.

  • CIRCULAR NO:3 /31.05.2018 Dear Sirs/Ladies, Please Be Informed
    CIRCULAR NO:3 /31.05.2018 Dear Sirs/Ladies, Please be informed that Turkish Coast Guard Officers spotted a vessel sailing to Northbound during Istanbul strait (Bosphorus) passage without crew who should standby at forecastle of the vessel as per the Maritime Traffic Regulations for Turkish Straits. As a result, vessel was fined and we learned that fine amount is around USD 1,000. - Please be guided that as per Maritime Traffic Regulations for Turkish Straits, technical condition and reporting requirements for vessels arriving and intending to pass through Turkish Straits ; ARTICLE 5- All vessels before entering the Turkish Straits; Windlass, capstans and mooring winches are in good working order and both anchors are ready for letting go at all times with standby crew. Full version of Article 5 is enclosed for your easy guidance. Special attention should be given to auxiliary engines/generators working conditions. Needless to say, aforesaid regulation was in place at all times, now implemented strictly having experienced Vitaspirit casualty where the ship rammed in a historical house on Bosphorus Strait this year resulting in public awareness about gems of Istanbul. Further investigation revealed that the crew was not following “navigating in restricted waters rules” properly i.e. no watch keeping at forecastle, having experienced difficulty with auxiliary engines/emergency generators etc. Even though the fine amount is minimal, it should be borne in mind that the ticket is not coming by post but by stopping the ship which may led to bring attention of port state control which will take lot more time and cost than the fine itself.
