Unfortunately, there are many reports of collisions and groundings because the offi- cer of-the-watch was sleeping or distracted by other non-navigational duties. Fatigue at sea can be caused by poor sleep quality and other environmental fac- tors such as high stress and excessive work load, often due to inadequate manning levels on some ships. IMO (International Maritime Organisation) has been aware of this prob- lem and tried to address this with the introduction of ILO (International Labour Organisation) Convention -Seafarer’s Hours of Work and the Manning of Ships Convention 1996 (No 180) that took effect from August 2002 after 15 countries ratified the convention.

We had a fantastic visit to the clipper ship “The City of Adelaide” with a very enjoyable lunch overlooking the water in Port Adelaide. If you missed it, you missed a great afternoon. Check out the pictures in this newsletter. We had a lovely party at Marty’s house for Australia Day. Ray Winterfield brought his guitar and we had a sing -a-long. We shared good food and fun. Another “no cost” function to members. We, again, had a really memorable Coral Sea celebration. This is so important to our association and the other associations which help us remember the connection with Australia and America. My only wish is that more of our members would take part and share this auspicious occasion with us. Check the newsletter pictures. We have said “Good-bye” to Nancy and Bill Schaff as they have moved to Hawaii. They always came to functions, gave good support for ideas and helped when needed. We will miss them but wish them all the best. Dr. Lage is still on her travels back and forth across the US. From the reports I have heard, she is enjoying herself very much.

All rights reserved. No portion of this book may be reproduced or used in any form, or by any means, without prior written permission of the author. 10987654321 Printed and bound in the United States i Acknowledgments A lot of people offered encouragement and moral support on this project. I cannot name them all, but a few are worthy of mention. Nancy Zussy, Ellen Levesque, Gayle Palmer, and Shirley Lewis at the Washington State Library were extremely helpful. Sid Snyder and Ralph Munro have each been treasured friends for more than 30 years. They probably know more about the history of this legislature than any other two people. I am honored and flattered that they would write brief forwards. There are many who have offered encouragement as I spent day after day seated at the microfilm machine in the Washington Room at the library. It is a laborious task; not easy on the eyes. They include my sons, Bruce and Tom, Scott Gaspard, Representative Shirley Hankins, Shelby Scates, Mike Layton, the late Gerald Sorte, Senator Bob Bailey, Sena- tor Ray Moore and his wife Virginia, Rowland Thompson, and numerous others who I know I’ve forgotten to mention. My special gratitude goes to Deanna Haigh who deciphered my handwriting and typed the manuscript.

    Überreicht vom Verfasser. Ostasiatische Decapoden. V. Die Oxyrhynehen und Schlussteil. (Geographische Übersicht der Decapoden Japans.) Von Heinrich Balss, München. (Mit 1 Tafel und 2 Textfiguren.) Abdruck aus dem Archiv für Naturgeschichte44. Herausgegeben von Embrik Strand ord. Professor der Zoologie und Direktor des Systematisch-Zoologischen Instituts der Universität Riga «0. Jahrgang 1924 Abteilung A 5. Heft Ausgegeben im September 1924. NICOLAI SC HE VERLAGS -BUCHHANDLUNG R. STRICKER Berlin. Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Lokomotion der Arachniden. 19 Nachtrag während der Korrektur. Durch die Liebenswürdigkeit des Herrn Dr. Penther erhielt ich zwei Exemplare von Eurypelma rubropilosa Auss. aus der Sammlung des naturhistorischen Museums zu Wien. Herr Dr. E. Hesse (Berlin), überließ mir gütigst ein Exemplar von Pterinochilus murinus Pocock. So konnte ich feststellen, daß die Gelenke tetrapneumoner Spinnen in allen wesentlichen Teilen mit denen der Dipneumones übereinstimmen. Die Coxen bilden mit dem Rumpfe ein unechtes Gelenk. Sie inserieren mit einer schmalen, ringförmigen Gelenkhaut, die nirgends durch einen Kondylus unterbrochen ist. Die Rumpfgelenke der Agaleniden Tegenaria und Coelotes sind ganz ähnlich gebaut. Die Coxa hat zwar eine pfannenartige Bildung, aber das Sternum trägt keinen Vorsprung, der den Gelenkkopf dazu bilden könnte. Bei Trochosa terricola Thor., Pirata piscatorius (Clerck) und Lycosa tarsalis Thor, fand ich ähnliche Verhältnisse, nur war die Pfanlie viel schärfer ausgeprägt. Im Gegen- satz dazu besitzen Clubiona pallidula Clerck und Cl. caerulescens L. Koch am Sternum spitze Vorsprünge, die in die Pfanne der Coxa eingreifen. Dasselbe ist bei den Dysderiden Harpactes lepidus C. L. Koch und Segestria senoculata Lin. der Fall. Am stärksten fand ich dies Gelenk bei Dysdera ausgeprägt. Ich werde dies alles in einem besonderen Aufsatze mit Abbildungen klarlegen.

  • Oznishambles As City of Adelaide Arrives up the Creek in South Australia
    OZNISHAMBLES AS CITY OF ADELAIDE ARRIVES UP THE CREEK IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA On 17 October 2013, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh was guest of honour at the Renaming Ceremony of the Historic composite, Iron and wood clipper ship City of Adelaide at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London [http://cityofadelaide.org.au/our-news/our-news-articles/107-2013-news/818- city-of-adelaide-greenwich-itinerary-16-20-october-2013.html ]. Two days later, under an open general export licence the tug Dutch Pioneer towed the clipper to Dordrecht in the Netherlands for an aggressive course of decontamination in order to meet Australian import regulations, before the ship finally left EU jurisdiction on 23rd November 2013. The export of the ship took place in spite of both the UK and Dutch Customs authorities being presented with a legal opinion, from Richard Harwood QC, that the export required the ship's new owners, Clipper Ship City of Adelaide Ltd (CSCoAL) to obtain an individual export licence. Campaigners in the UK archaeological and historic ships communities believe they have firm grounds for concluding that the Australian project is financially precarious. In order to secure federal funding to transport the ship CSCoAL appear to have signed up to an undertaking to make no further applications for Federal finance for the preservation of the ship. Nor are the Australian State or Australian heritage shipping experts supportive of the project. Further, it can be argued that viable British-based bids to take on the conservation and management of the ship were side-lined by the national authorities responsible for her protection.

  • The COROMANDEL and Others
    THE STORY OF THE 'COROMANDEL' IN PARTICULAR, 1834 3 MASTED SAILING SHIP. The COROMANDEL and others. In particular I have searched information regarding the 'Coromandel' ship, which, in 1836 was commissioned by the South Australian Company to transport emigrants to the new colony of South Australia and its soon to be established capital city of Adelaide. I have listed in these pages all details found, including a number of passengers. I have ascertained most who sailed in her, (but I certainly may have missed and/or misspelled some names). The ship sailed from St. Katherine's dock, London in 1836 arriving and disembarking the majority of her passengers at Holdfast Bay, Glenelg on January 17th 1837. Her journey was longer than planned as Captain William Chesser, her Master called in at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa and rested his many sick passengers back to good health with fresh fruit, vegetables and good water. Upon his return to Britain later in the year, he was called to task for the extended journey & brought before the Colonial office & the South Australian Company for interrogation. I have not, with any positive proof satisfied myself as to our "Coromandel's " final resting place, because the name was in popular use as a ship's name, and others so named have confused many people of her true journeys & destiny. She was definitely 662 tons, she was definitely built in 1834 in Quebec by George Black & Sons and she was a barque with sails set as 'ship' meaning all were squaremasted. There was a Coromandel ship that foundered in New Zealand, but I have not seen the description nor sketches of that ship.
