BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Seamanship Fundamentals BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Seamanship Fundamentals Bernard C. Webber, USCG BCH 16114.4 December 2017 Chief Warrant Officer Bernard Webber “I reasoned I was a Coast Guard first class boatswain mate. My job was the sea and to save those in peril upon it.” On 24 January 2009, Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Bernard Challen Webber crossed the bar. During his 20-year career, CWO Webber was the recipient of the Gold Lifesaving Medal and responsible for one of the greatest small boat rescues in Coast Guard history. Born in Milton, MA, on 9 May 1928, Webber began his career at sea in 1944 when he joined the Merchant Marine. After serving in the Pacific, he joined the Coast Guard in 1946. On 18 February, 1952, BM1 Webber was serving at the Chatham Lifeboat Station when a violent winter storm hit New England. Off the coast of Massachusetts, the SS Pendleton , a tanker originally built for the War Shipping Administration, was enroute from Baton Rouge, LA to Boston with a full load of kerosene and oil. At about 0550, in gale force winds, blinding snow and 60 foot seas, the vessel broke in two. In the bow, were the captain and seven crewmen. Thirty-three men remained in the stern section. There had been no time to issue an S.O.S. The stern section drifted south, about six miles off Cape Cod. The bow section was further offshore. As the men of Chatham Station were busy with the rescue of another tanker, radar picked up the two sections of Pendleton. Visually sighted shortly thereafter, it became apparent that aid could only be rendered by use of the 36-foot Motor Life Boat CG-36500. Pendleton’s stern section drifted close to shore. At 1755, BM1 Webber and three crewmen left the pier. As CG-36500 crossed Chatham’s bar, massive waves tossed the small boat, shattering the windshield and tearing the compass from its mount. Knocked to the deck, Webber struggled to regain control. Several times, the engine died as the waves rolled the small vessel in the high seas. As both the weather and visibility worsened, Webber slowed CG-36500. The small searchlight finally revealed Pendleton’s stern. Maneuvering his small boat around the mangled hulk, he saw men on the tanker’s starboard quarter. A Jacob’s ladder was tossed over Pendleton’s side and the surviving crewmembers started down the ladder. Webber moved CG-36500 closer and, one by one, the survivors jumped, landing in the lifeboat or in the sea where the crew assisted them to safety. Of the 33 men aboard the stern section, 32 were saved. With no compass to steer by, and in zero visibility conditions, Webber returned to Fish Pier and a cheering crowd. Initially told that he would receive the Gold Lifesaving Medal, and his crew lesser recognition, Webber refused. Finally, for their actions that day, BM1 Webber and his crew ( EN3 Ander Fitzgerald, SN Richard Livesey and SN Irving Maske) were awarded Gold Lifesaving Medals on 7 May 1952. A reluctant hero who disliked publicity, Webber remained in the Coast Guard, rising to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. His 20-year career included a tour off the coast of Vietnam during Operation Market Time. He retired in 1966. Immortalized by the Coast Guard, the cutter Bernard C. Webber (WPC-1101) was commissioned on 14 April 2012.

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).

  • Hollow Braid Eye Splice
    The Back Splice A properly sized hollow braid splicing fid will make this splice easier. Hollow braid splices must have the opposing core tucked in at least eight inches when finished. Use discretionary thinking when determining whether or not to apply a whipping to the back splice on hollow braid ropes. 5/16” ¼” 3/16” 3/8” Whipping Twine Hollow Braid Appropriate Sized Knife Splicing Fids STEP ONE: The first step with FIG. 1 most hollow braid splices involve inserting the end of the rope into the hollow end of an appropriately sized splicing fid (Figures 1 & 2). Fids are sized according to the diameter of the rope. A 3/8” diameter rope will be used in this demonstration, therefore a 3/8” fid is the appropriate size. FIG. 2 The fid can prove useful when estimating the length the opposing core is tucked. A minimum tuck of eight inches is required. FIG. 2A STEP TWO: After inserting the end of the rope into a splicing fid (figure 2A) – Loosen the braid in the rope FIG. 3 approximately 10” to 12” from the end to be spliced (figure 3). Approximately 10” to 12” From the end of the rope. Push the pointed end of the fid into one of the openings of the braid, allowing the fid to travel down the hollow center of the braided rope (figures 4 & 5). FIG. 4 FIG. 5 FIG.6 STEP THREE: Allow the fid to travel down the hollow center of the braided rope 8” or more. Compressing the rope on the fid will allow a distance safely in excess of 8” (figure 6).

  • From Francois De Quesnay Le Despotisme De La Chine (1767)
    From Francois de Quesnay Le despotisme de la Chine (1767) [translation by Lewis A. Maverick in China, A Model for Europe (1946)] [Francois de Quesnay (1694-1774) came from a modest provincial family but rose into the middle class with his marriage. He was first apprenticed to an engraver but then turned to the study of surgery and was practicing as a surgeon in the early 1730's. In 1744 he received a medical degree and was therefore qualified as a physician as well as a surgeon and shifted his activity in the latter direction. In 1748, on the recommendation of aristocratic patients, he became physician to Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV's mistress. In 1752 he successfully treated the Dauphin (crown prince) for smallpox and was then appointed as one of the physicians to the King. While serving at court he became interested in economic, political, and social problems and by 1758 was a member of the small group of economists known as "Physiocrats." Their main contribution to economic thinking involved analogizing the economy to the human body and seeing economic prosperity as a matter of ensuring the circulation of money and goods. The Physiocrats became well-known throughout Europe, and were visited by both David Hume and Adam Smith in the 1760s. The Physiocrats took up the cause of agricultural reform, and then broadened their concern to fiscal matters and finally to political reform more generally. They were not democrats; rather they looked to a strong monarchy to adopt and push through the needed reforms. Like many other Frenchman of the mid 18th-century, the Physiocrats saw China as an ideal and modeled many of their proposals after what they believed was Chinese practice.

  • BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Boat Operations
    BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Boat Operations Sumner I. Kimball, USLSS BCH16114.1 December 2017 Sumner Increase Kimball, USLSS A young lawyer from Maine, Sumner I. Kimball was appointed as the chief of the Treasury Department's Revenue Marine Division in 1871. He had joined the Treasury Department as a clerk 10 years earlier and had proven his abilities as a manager. Using his hard-earned political know-how, and a good dose of Yankee common sense, Kimball proceeded to completely overhaul the Revenue Marine and the hodge-podge system of lifesaving stations along the nation's coast that were also under the control of the Revenue Marine Division. His impact on both organizations would prove to be immeasurable. After the Civil War, the Revenue Marine, and the executive branch agencies generally, came under intense Congressional scrutiny. Economy was the name of the game during this time and expenditures were scrutinized across the board. Hence, Kimball decided to order the construction of new cutters not with iron hulls, which entailed considerable expense, but with proven wood hulls. The total number of petty officers and enlisted men was substantially cut and their pay reduced. Kimball also carried out a vigorous "housecleaning" of incompetent Revenue Marine officers and saw to it that discipline was tightened. A special object of his censure was the use of cutters as personal yachts by local Custom officials, a wide-spread abuse during that time. Kimball also put into effect a merit system to determine promotions. He also made one other great contribution to the quality of the Revenue Marine by establishing, in 1877, a School of Instruction, to train young officers.

  • Guide for Using a Swinging Mooring
    Mooring Equipment A Conservancy maintained mooring consists of a heavy black iron chain riser, which is attached to a sinker or ground chain. The swivel allows the boat to swing freely at the mooring without twisting or snagging the mooring top chain and any ropes passed to the swivel. The length of the top chain is standardised to suit the average deck layout of a typical yacht using our moorings and is approximately 2.5m long. The length of top chain will not suit all deck arrangements and it may need to be adjusted to suit your individual requirement. It can be shortened by increasing the size of the end loop; or on rare occasions, lengthened by introducing an additional length to the chain. Considerations When Securing to a Buoy Moored boats behave in different ways; characteristics such as hull shape and draft will affect how a boat lies at the mooring during changes in the tide. Windage on spray hoods and canvas covers, will be affected by the strength of the wind and wind direction, which also plays a part in creating a unique swinging pattern and how the vessel lies with neighbouring boats. Minimising the swinging circle is an important consideration. The length of the mooring top chain between the deck fairlead and the buoy should be as short as possible. This also ensures that the weight of the boat is directly linked to the riser and limits the amount of snatch to the boat deck fittings. An excessively long top chain will also cause the buoy to rub alongside the hull of the boat and scuff the gel coat or varnish.

    REFERENCE ROOM Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering ft* University of Michigan Ann Arbgr, M g109 THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND THE RESISTANCE OF LARGE, TOWED, SEAGOING BARGES J. L. Moss Corning Townsend III Submitted to the SOCIETY OF NAVAL ARCHITECTS AND MARINE ENGINEERS Under p. O. No. 360 September 15, 1967 In the last decade, -ocean-going unmanned barges have become an increasingly important segment of our merchant marine. These vessels, commonly over 400 feet long, and sometimes lifting in excess of 15,000 L.T. dead weight, are usually towed on a long hawser behind a tugboat. Because the barges are inherently directionally unstable, twin out- board skegs are attached to achieve good tracking. Model tests are conducted in order to determine towline resistance and the proper skeg position which renders the barge stable. Skegs, vertical appendages similar to rudders, are placed port and starboard on the rake. They create lift and drag, and move the center of lateral pressure aft, thus tending to stabilize a barge towed on a long line. At The University of Michigan many such model experiments have been conducted within the past several years. Since these tests have been carried out for various industrial con- cerns and on specific designs, systematic variations of parameters or other means of specifically relating the results have not been possible in most cases. Nevertheless, on the basis of the results of these largely unrelated tests, recom- mendations can be made regarding good design practice and some specific aspects can be demonstrated.
