  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • Best Practices in Watch Keeping Procedures
    1 Best practices in watch keeping procedures Every sailor and every skipper has a preference for certain watch keeping schedules and procedures for offshore passages and blue water sailing. There are many variations, each offering distinct benefits. The Ocean Cruising Club has among its members many highly experienced sailors with different approaches to sailing – some singlehanded, others short-handed, and some with full and rotating crew. We have collected a series of discussion points from OCC members as expressed in various OCC venues including the Forum, the Facebook page, and in publications that may be of assistance to individuals planning to sail long distances who wish to consider various options for standing watch. Keeping watch is an essential component of good seamanship, and the OCC supports the efforts of crew to become knowledgeable about the Rules of the Road, to familiarize themselves with best practices and to maintain a vigilant watch under all conditions. This is not a definitive prescription but a set of suggestions based on the collective experience of sailors who have each sailed long distances across oceans. Keep in mind that it is up to the Master or Skipper of the vessel to make decisions about watch keeping procedures that will best suit his/her crew, vessel, and conditions. 1: Follow the Vessel's Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Most skippers have rules they adopt for decision making aboard their vessel on passage. Those rules tell crew how often to make entries into the log (e.g., at least every hour and for every radio contact), under what circumstances to wake him/her (e.g., change of weather, sail change, gear issues, collision avoidance issues), and safety precautions to take (e.g., STAY ON THE BOAT which means lifejacket and tether offshore, clipped in before entering cockpit, always someone else on deck if going forward).

INTRODUCTION RLM-319 1 Rev 03/18 The Republic of Liberia examination system reflects the provisions of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping 1978 as amended. Under this system, the examinations consist of multiple-choice questions randomly compiled by computer from a database of some 10,000 questions appropriate for the competency being tested. The answers are graded by computer. Certain training pre-requisites for certification apply. It is recommended that the publication RLM-118, “Requirements for Merchant Marine Personnel Certification,” be consulted to determine which other examinations, certified training or sea service may be required by the Administration before an examination may be taken.
