We arrive at the official tourist area.. Boats are returning, filled with tourists in loud orange life jackets. The boats are manned by 6 men: 5 oarsmen, and one helmsman. Some of the men are in shorts, suggesting that they actually do get into the water at some point and pull the boats upstream as shown in old photos.

Little Texas Aggie Bear crawled up into one of the command chairs and yelled out, “Helmsman. Lay in a course and initiate warp drive!”
I woke up extra, extra early this morning. It was 10:30 a.m. Normally, I only see 10:30 on the clock once a day. The ferryboat company here along the Jersey Shore, SeaStreak, LLC received a new ferryboat this last week. It is the largest high-speed passenger catamaran in operation in the United States.
The nice people at SeaStreak conducted an “open ship” or is it “open boat?” at noon today so the public could view this remarkable piece of technology. They even provided free doughnuts and cocktails!!! The boat was built starting in 2019 at Midship Marine in Harvey, Louisiana.
The owners decided to name the new boat, “Courageous” as a tribute to first responders and individuals who worked in the medical field and continued to take other SeaStreak boats into Manhattan during the pandemic. A local media outlet stated that the boat is valued at ~$18M. It has two bars — one inside on the first deck, and another “summer” bar behind the wheelhouse on the third deck.
The outside portion of the boat has red, white, and blue LED lighting. I suspect it will look spectacular when it’s coming back from West Point next summer at night after the home football games. The boat hosts 720 passengers. Many of the seats have tables so families can play games on a long trip. There are also several cocktail tables near the inside bar area where the cool people can enjoy an adult beverage.
My favorite part of the “open boat” event was that we were able to go into the wheelhouse and see all of the technology used in a modern boat of this size. Especially the captain’s chair where he sits when he tells his first officer and navigator to engage the warp drive!

Last night I was helmsman on a vintage high speed steam launch called 'Mosquito'.
We were attendees at the Lakeland Arts Trust's fundraising campaign launch for the Windermere Steam Boat Museum.
Almost into the weather now, but patches of sunlight shining through look fantastic after some playing with the saturation levels.
Docking requires the skill of the helmsman to preserve the reef. the dock is ready for the move always safe

More than 25 ships that have been sunk near Isle Royale in Lake Superior (North America). Isle Royale has been an obstacle to shipping on Lake Superior since the earliest days.
Upon its reefs, more than 25 major wrecks have occurred. Some were refloated, but most never left.
The America was built in Detroit by a Michigan City, Indiana, and Detroit, Michigan, partnership for excursion trips between Michigan City and Chicago, Illinois. Only three years later, in 1901, the America was operating on Lake Erie, when Alfred Booth of A. Booth Co. of Chicago began to negotiate for ownership of this modern and fast ship (19 knots (35 km/h; 22 mph)) for the North Shore route out of Duluth, Minnesota. On April 26, 1902, the America left her berth on the lower lakes for a final home on Lake Superior.
On June 6, 1928, the America steamed through the Duluth Ship Canal. Later that day, she landed in Grand Marais after making the routine stops along the coast. After clearing cargo and passengers, the America rounded the breakwall heading for Isle Royale. Apparently, the routine was to continue north along the shore and return through Isle Royale, stopping at the fish houses before returning to Duluth.
But on this night, the America was carrying several passengers bound for Washington Island. At 3 a.m. on June 7, she nosed out of the Singer Hotel Dock on Washington Island. Heading for North Gap and open water, the Captain retired and let First Mate Wicks and a helmsman take the watch. Within minutes, the ship bumped over a reef, puncturing holes in the single bottom. Returning to the bridge, where the mate was signaling the alarm to the crew and passenger, Capt. Smith ordered the helmsman, Fred Nelson, to head towards a gravel beach before the ship floundered and lost headway.
Thirty yards off the beach, the America hit another reef and came to an abrupt halt. Meanwhile, the crew in the engine room greased the engine to prevent rust and improve salvage and the topside crew began to move the passengers to the lifeboats. Within an hour and a half of leaving Washington Island, the crew and passengers were on their way back in lifeboats. They met a small fleet of fishing boats coming to the sound of the whistle.
The America came to rest with the bow standing out of the water and the stern and midships reaching into the depths. A. Booth and Sons elected not to salvage the America, probably due to the completion of Minnesota Trunk Route I (US 61). The new road cut the cost of transportation along the shore making it unprofitable to operate a ship. The next year in September, 1929, Capt. Cornelius Flynn of the Duluth Salvage Company bought the rights to the America. The winter of '28–29 had done minor damage to the upper cabins. But before he could get a crew to the site, winter set in and kept them at home. The following spring, the ice had sheared off the cabins at the waterline. The decrease in weight and the upward pressure of the ice floated the wreck and it settled beneath the surface. Today, it can be seen 4 to 85 feet (1 to 26 m) below the water.

Now for some groans. Amazingly, even though she is the same length as our Rustler and much beamier, Teal has much less storage than the yacht. We have solved the problem by adding storage boxes, mainly under the saloon seats. By selecting black storage units, they are relatively unnoticeable. Another storage box under the bunk in the aft cabin is a good place to keep engine spares. But why, oh why, are the galley drawers 3mm too narrow for a standard table mat? Why, oh why, do the deck storage lockers foul the main sliding doors making them difficult, or even dangerous to open? And the bottle storage near the saloon fridge will only take small bottles in the rear slots, not to mention the fact that the portable seat makes it impossible to easily open the wineglass storage under the helmsman's seat. We think the accommodation was designed by a man! Gradually we have learned to accept these limitations. After all, every boat is a compromise.

Banzare 1929/30 and 1930/31 Voyages to the Antarctic. A prevalent time for Whaling in the Antarctic. Scanned from a silver gelatin negative. (Historic Images). [E Douglas photography and Collection]. Eric Douglas - 15th Dec 1930 "...On a wooden platform in the bow is mounted a swivelling gun which takes the harpoon. From this platform leads a narrow gangway up to the ships bridge. This is for the use of the Captain or Gunner as he is called to enable him to get quickly from the bridge to the gun when they are chasing whales. On board are eleven men or 13 counting us [Frank Hurley and Eric Douglas] Captain or Gunner, mate, two engineers, two firemen (fuel oil is used) one cook who acts also as steward and four seamen. There is one man in the lookout continually. That is a man who does two hours in the lookout then comes down and changes places with the helmsman, who then goes up to the lookout. In another two hours time they are relieved by the other two men. But the Gunner and mate get very little sleep, probably two hours a day when whales are about. Steaming full ahead (what a difference in life and speed to our lumbering ship) we could soon see the whales spouting right ahead, when we were about 200 yards away they sounded (dived to remain down for periods of four to fifteen minutes)..."

111105-N-SF704-033 PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 5, 2011) - Seaman David Burton from Albuquerque, N.M., uses the shipÕs helm on the navigation bridge to keep the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) on course in the Pacific Ocean. Burton is responsible for maintaining the shipÕs proper course under direction of the conning officer during watch as the shipÕs helmsman. George Washington pulled out of her forward-operating port of Yokosuka, Japan Sept. 19 to continue her 2011 patrol. As the NavyÕs only full-time forward deployed carrier, George WashingtonÕs mission is to help ensure security and stability in the western Pacific Ocean.

This takes forever so please look at the large version of the pic.
After the fancy rope work is done it gets 2 coats of shellac, 2 coats of Swedish pine tar & 4 coats of Helmsman spar varnish. It's the end of a kayak fishing tool so it spends time in the ocean.
Mostafa skippered the felluca Sunshine. On the return trip after the sun had set he sang a Nubian song. He sang as well as he sailed.
Next stop at the tour was at Västerlånggatan. Above the door number 24 this kitty, or other say it's a Mustelidae, is placed.
It's connected to a story about a Swedish ship that had problems out at sea. The weather had been abate for days and the ship had stood still for days.
When the helmsman tossed a coin in the water the water opened and a stair showed up. On the stair a mermaid sat and she asked the helmsman to follow her.
He did, and she gave him a letter. He had to promise to leave it to a Herr Måns or Mister Måns at the road Västerlångatan. It was very important, and he had to deliver it at the moment they arrived to Stockholm.
He promised, and when he was onboard of the ship again the wind blew and they could anchor at Stockholm.
The helmsman forgot about the letter for a couple of days. When he saw it he went to Västerlånggatan to give it to Herr Måns. At the right house he asked the maids where Herr Måns was.
The maids laughed, because the only Herr Måns in the house was their cat. But the cat started to talk and said that he wanted the letter. He read it and said to the helmsman that it would have been better for the two of them that he had gotten the letter right away.
The cat then jumped on the man and clawed him to death. The cat escaped trough the window and froze to the statue over the door.
Strange story isn't it? I really wonder what the letter said that made the cat so angry.
