Launched in 1939, one of the ferry's early jobs was that it was used to transport servicemen to and from the Royal Navy's giant inland harbour base at Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands.
It is believed to have been involved in evacuation of Dunkirk too.
"On Sunday, May 25, 1940, churches were full as people prayed for deliverance. Two things helped the rescue mission – a great storm broke over Flanders, grounding most of the Luftwaffe. This was followed by a great calm in the English Channel.
The Durham Light Infantry and the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers were both heavily involved in the great retreat through France, fighting off the Germans all the way to Dunkirk.
Sgt-Major Martin McLane, 2nd Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, had a crystal clear memory when he talked to the Chronicle a few years ago.
Towards the end of May 1940, Byker-born Martin McLane’s unit was on the banks of Belgium’s River Dyle where the 2nd Division of the British Expeditionary Force was engaging the enemy.
The DLI was ordered to withdraw. Sgt-Major McLane and his platoon marched where directed, however aimless it seemed. There was no transport available. The roads were clogged with civilians trying to escape.
Eventually, the division took up positions on the banks of a canal. The retreat, it had been decided, would stop here. The reality was very different.
Sgt-Major McLane found himself in command of his platoon. Many officers had been killed or become separated from their men.
It was soon learned that German tanks had crossed the canal. “We knew, then, that we were in for it. We had no anti-tank guns, no artillery . . .
“We could hear tanks rumbling in the distance and saw them appearing.”
With a lack of ammunition and food, the British troops began to withdraw. Reluctantly, Sgt-Major McLane suggested the only action was to issue the order, “Every man for himself”, the point at which an orderly withdrawal becomes a disorderly retreat.
Out of a company strength of around 100, just nine men got away. The 2nd DLI was reduced from a fighting establishment of around 700 to 57 men.
There were still no orders. But everybody began heading in the same direction.
He then found the officer and the other Sgt-Majors had vanished. He stopped a passing lorry to see if he could find out what was happening. A young officer said: “Everyone’s got to make for the beaches of Dunkirk. They’re going to try to evacuate the British Army.”
It was the first McLane had heard of Dunkirk or evacuation.
But the fighting was over. Sgt-Major McLane commandeered two lorries and told his men to get in. Through a misunderstanding, they left without him. He carried on walking. Other stragglers fell in behind. “They wanted a leader. I was the best they could find.”
He passed scenes which he described as Dante’s Inferno, flames, smoke, dead and wounded men, abandoned guns and smashed vehicles – the steam, stench and sound of dead and dying horses.
The aircraft then turned to the beaches, swooping low to drop bombs and fire machine guns.
Then came an incident which illustrates the tensions and confusion on the beaches. A car drew up and an officer stepped out in clean uniform, highly-polished buttons and belt.
He called for any men of the 2nd Division to step forward. McLane and some others did.
The officer pulled out his revolver, pointed it at the Sgt-Major and explained he was taking them back to fight. Another officer emerged from the car, pistol at the ready.
Martin McLane was appalled. “Don’t you dare threaten Durham Light Infantrymen,” he shouted at the officers. The men levelled their rifles at the officers. The officers lowered their revolvers, got in their cars and drove off.
In the end, Sgt-Major McLane and the handful of men boarded a little boat and transferred to a destroyer for the trip back.
Martin McLane received a gallantry medal from the King for his action at Dunkirk.
South Shields born Capt Richard Annand won the first VC of the Second World War as a young 2nd Lieutenant serving with the Durham Light Infantry, on the retreat to Dunkirk.
He and his men fought off two attacks and when their ammunition ran out, Capt Annand kept the Germans at bay by hurling grenades from a bridge. Adam Wakenshaw, of Newcastle, won a VC for his actions when he was killed in the desert in 1942, but also fought and was wounded at Dunkirk." Chronicle Live 26th May 2010.
It was previously berthed at The London Docks and at Eastbourne it was dismantled in 2020.

For this demonstration, they removed the grounding strap, so that the electricity didn't have that easy path to follow. Instead, they had the subject stand on a wooden plank suspended over a metal grounding strip, with just his/hers heels sticking over the back. As that was the path of least resistance, that's where the electricity went. Again, this is the UCSC-SCIPP group. We were hoping to catch the "Arc Attack" people, who used the Tesla Coils to play music, but we just missed them.

It may well be art … but is it paving?
Does paving enrich our lives?
Would we buy paving and hang it on our walls?
The question is … Where do we all stand on paving?
Will Damien Hirst now go into the hard landscaping business?

A M.
Dedicata all'amica speciale.
A Lei che oggi percorre strade sfocate, rivestite di sassi sciolti e scomodi.
A Lei che oggi vede come al buio. Un mondo popolato di suoni e voci che non vorrebbe ascoltare e che suo malgrado sente vibrare forte.
Amica, prendi e segui sempre la tua strada, ricorda che non sei sola, e che i ciottoli pericolosi si possono togliere insieme agli amici.
Un semplice gesto, quello di porgerti gli auricolari puo' renderti qualche istante diverso, forse intenso.
Ora le cose sono in bianco e nero, ma ne sono sicuro, torneranno a colori.

each power parasol has four grounding plates like this one which is wired in place at the bottom of the 20' hole in contact with the earth
A Southampton tug helps pull the ferry free after grounding in thick fog, 50m from East Cowes shoreline. Unfortunately a moored yacht was sunk in the accident, luckily with no-one being hurt.

There are two sets of grounds here. The first comes out and turns to the left to the two rods, grounding the 400 Amp Panel. The second comes out and bends right, heading to a single 3/4-10foot ground rod with #4 bare copper wire, grounding the 200 Amp feed through panel.

While the American Girl CSI unit is still in formative contract negotiations, scenes like this go uninvestigated, and largely unsolved. Family and neighborhood litigation remains informal and grassroots, at best. Many little brothers receive scoldings and arbitrary groundings based on guilty looks, gleeful smirks, and confrontational laughter, not to mention thoroughly circumstantial evidence. Admittedly, many cases are clear cut and the guilty get their just deserts, often in the form of no desserts. However, with no due process, many little brothers are susceptible to accusation with no clear defense strategy but a bewildered expression and, in most cases, indignant whining about the injustice of the world.
In one incidence, it was discovered fifteen years after the fact that little Tommy, an eight year old with an admitted sketchy past, was accused and convicted of a grisly Barbie delimbing and subsequent "mobiling of the limbs" The gruesome act was, in fact, the result of a little Janey's sudden transition into punk adolescence.

To my great surprise, last year's artichoke plant from Chris Pendeton's Sleeping Lady Nursery came back, and this time with nine instead of two. This species is different from the storebought one, tastes good, but not to be eaten leaf by leaf, mostly only the below the furry part...still, home grown, and $2.00 each at The Corporate Produce Market. ..the sharpness of the petals like mini spikes, and nine along the fence means I don't need barbed wire there (-:
Just another shot of the wire on the proper connector for grounding. The other connector will have the stock wire clip placed on it - it fits nice and tight.
Because of criticisms I've read about these horns and their susceptibility to corrosion, I wrapped each connection with electrical tape in an attempt to keep the road salt out of the picture.
