In memory of those who perished 32 years ago today, 30th September, R.I.P.
At about 3am on the 30th September 1976 the Admiral Van Tromp, a new powerful Scarborough trawler ran aground on the scaur at Black Nab, Saltwick Bay. There was thick fog and a heavy swell running.
The Whitby lifeboat, William & Mary Durham, was launched and both Whitby's and Robin Hood's Bay's coastguards were called out. Several rocket lines were fired by the coastguards, but the crew of five trapped in the wheel house, were unable to reach them. The Watson type lifeboat tried to reach the trawler by dropping anchor and drifting back to the wreck. On the first attempt the line parted. A stronger anchor from one of the trawlers standing off was used and Cox'n Robert Allen tried again. However the sea was too strong. With waves washing over her and three of the crew injured the lifeboat got to within 30 feet of the stricken vessel.
As daylight broke the Van Tromp lay on her side with waves breaking over her. One of the crew was spotted clinging to Black Nab, he was saved by the crew of the inshore lifeboat who drove the D class lifeboat at full speed onto a ledge and the man was grabbed just as a large wave broke over the boat and washed it back into the waters. The other four were washed ashore, but sadly two did not survive.
A silver medal was awarded to coxswain Robert Allen and a bronze medal to helmsman Richard Robinson for gallantry.

In this intriguing painting, the artist captures the mystical role of helmsmen who guide colossal creatures and vessels into safe harbor. Using a delicate balance of subdued colors, the artwork evokes a sense of otherworldly charm. It skillfully blends elements of fantasy and steampunk, creating a narrative where the extraordinary and surreal become a part of daily life. The mythical and fantastical theme is enhanced by the surrealistic style, inviting viewers into a captivating world of magical realism.

Yes, it’s HDR. Yes, I’ve futzed about with the saturation and sharpness quite a bit. Yes, this is really me stretching trying to make something out of a bracket set where nothing is really exposed the way it should have been. Yes, it’s starting to look more like a sketch trying to look like a photo than an actual photo. But, it’s Slider Sunday, so, what the hell?
This is another take on the Charles W. Morgan dockside at the State Pier in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Shot this bracketed while I was waiting in line to board the vessel, but however I attempted to spot-meter, I got something drastically wrong, and didn’t want to hold up the line more than I already had to chimp the exposure around even more. But, it made for decent experimental fodder, and the result isn’t all that bad, in the spirit of experimenting, anyway. Couldn’t quite figure out who to get rid of the banding that’s starting to appear in the sky, though.
Happy Slider Sunday!
The structure is a Grade I listed building and a World Heritage Site.
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in North-East Wales. The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure, which took ten years to design and build, was completed in 1805. It is now the oldest and longest navigable aqueduct on Great Britain and the highest in the world.
The work, which took around ten years from design to construction, cost around of £47,000. Adjusted for inflation this is equivalent to no more than £3,500,000 in 2016, but represented a major investment against the contemporary GDP of some £400 million.
The Pontcysyllte aqueduct officially opened to narrow boat traffic on 26 November 1805.
The bridge is 336 yd (307 m) long, 12 ft (3.7 m) wide and 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m) deep. It consists of a cast iron trough supported 126 ft (38 m) above the river on iron arched ribs carried on eighteen hollow masonry piers (pillars). Each of the 18 spans is 53 ft (16 m) wide. With the completion of the aqueduct, the next phase of the canal should have been the continuation of the line to Moss Valley, Wrexham where Telford had constructed a feeder reservoir lake in 1796.
The mortar used lime, water and ox blood. The iron castings for the trough were produced at the nearby Plas Kynaston Foundry, Cefn Mawr, which was built by the Shrewsbury iron-founder and millwright William Hazledine in the hope of gaining the contract. The rib castings may have been made at Hazledine's original works at Coleham, near Shrewsbury. The trough was made from flanged plates of cast iron, bolted together, with the joints bedded with Welsh flannel and a mixture of white lead and iron particles from boring waste. After 25 years the white lead was replaced with ordinary tar. As with Telford's Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct, the plates are not rectangular but shaped as voussoirs, similar to those of a stone arch. There is no structural significance to their shape: it is a decorative feature only, following the lines of the stiffening plates in the castings beneath.
The supporting arches, four for each span, are in the form of cast-iron ribs, each cast as three voussoirs with external arches cast with an un-pierced web to give greater strength, at the cost of extra weight. Using cast iron in this way, in the same manner as the stone arch it supersedes, makes use of the material's strength in compression.
Cast plates are laid transversely to form the bed of the canal trough. The trough is not fastened to the arches, but lugs are cast into the plates to fit over the rib arches to prevent movement. The aqueduct was left for six months with water inside to check that it was watertight.
Pedestrians, and the horses once used for towing, are protected from falling from the aqueduct by railings on the outside edge of the tow-path, but the holes in the top flange of the other side of the trough, capable of mounting railings, were never used. The trough sides rise only about 6 inches (15 cm) above the water level, less than the depth of freeboard of an empty narrow boat, so the helmsman of the boat has no visual protection from the impression of being at the edge of an abyss.

With Halloween coming up, it's a good time for some creepy stuff... like the skeleton helmsman in Pirates. There's a good number of decent shots of the one in DL but the WDW one is a real challenge; most shots you see are a blur or use flash. This was my best from my previous trip. Next time, I'll try to sit in the back row so I can turn around to have more time to shoot him!
I used my manual-focus Pentax-A 50mm F1.2 for this shot, stopped down just a hair to F1.3, and was pretty happy to get the skeleton's face pretty sharp.
Sailor's Monument
The Sailor's Monument, a national monument of Norwegian seamen's efforts at sea, from the Viking Age to the 20th century, paid for by funds collected and unveiled on June 7, 1950.
In the maritime city of Bergen, it goes without saying that a memorial dedicated to this important and honorable professional group had to be centralized space in the city.
This demand was met in full when the municipality allowed Dyre Vaas's towering, seven-meter-high sculptural tribute to the sailor's stand to dominate the eastern end of the city's main street, Torgallmenningen.
But many people reacted to the fact that the Sailor Monument here stood a good distance from the right element of seafarers, the sea.
It was only in 1999, almost 50 years after the unveiling, that this objection succeeded to some extent. As part of the extensive renovation of the Torgallmenning completed this year, a large water pool was built around the monument. After this, 12 tough sailors, cast in bronze, were able to reflect in the water. Waves around the monument, on the other hand, only criticize the location and the artistic design that has created.
The road from idea to realization of the Sailor Monument was very long. The idea was erected as early as 1917 by the Bergen Shipowners' Association and the Bergen Skipperforening, which wanted a memorial to war-lost seafarers.
Sofus Madsen undertook to make a draft based on this wish, but it was rejected.
It was concluded that the monument should express a general tribute to the sailor's stand rather than dwell especially on the victims of the war.
In 1938, open competition was announced, and a total of 45 drafts came in. The winner was "The Trial of Happiness", submitted by the telemarketing Dyre Vaa.
Because of the war, it was 12 years before the monument could be unveiled. The honorable assignment was left to the then Minister of Industry Lars Evensen.
The result was a startling, but controversial, sculptural account of Norwegian shipping, expressed in the form of 12 burly sailor statues and high above them eight reliefs on two heights that contribute with further knowledge.
Four centuries of Norwegian maritime history pass revue on the monument's equally numerous sides.
The tenth century is presented as "Vinland's journey", and the statues depict a chieftain with a spear, a skull in leather skins and a berserk with a shield on his back. The reliefs show a Viking ship under sail and a meeting between Vikings and Indians.
The eighteenth century, "Greenland's journey", is symbolized by a scouting fisherman, a full-fledged captain in the process of giving orders and a sailor with a pipe in his mouth.
The reliefs are related to Greenland's rediscovery from Bergen. You see Hans Egede preaching the Christian gospel to the Eskimos and a stack drain with a sea worm bowing under the ship.
On the panel for the nineteenth century, with the inscription "Kornferd", you see a ship with a top hat, a first-time boy and a pilot. The reliefs depict whaling and scenes from a shipyard.
The twentieth century has the inscription “Oljeferd”, and the sculptures depict a deck boy, a helmsman with binoculars and a wrench machinist. The reliefs depict a ship in front of a rising sun and a resurrection scene. Drowned awakened to eternal life by an angel.
As models, Dyre Vaa did not use seafarers, but people from his community. Several Telemark farmers from that time must have been easily recognizable. The artist was working on the monument throughout the war. In 1944, no less than 25 plaster statues lined up in his studio in Rauland. The number was subsequently more than halved. A very rich memorial must be said to be the Seamen's Monument, a work of art that alone is an entire art exhibition.

The Harbour Commission is a Trust Port created by Statute.
The principal Order is the Teignmouth Harbour Order 1924
as amended by the Teignmouth Harbour Revision Order 2003
Cutty Sark was ordered by shipping magnate John Willis, who operated a shipping company founded by his father. The company had a fleet of clippers and regularly took part in the tea trade from China to Britain. Speed was a clear advantage to a merchant ship, but it also created prestige for the owners: the 'tea race' was widely reported in contemporary newspapers and had become something of a national sporting event, with money being gambled against a winning ship. In earlier years, Willis had commanded his father's ships at a time when American-designed ships were the fastest in the tea trade, and then had owned British-designed ships, which were amongst the best available in the world but had never won the tea race. In 1868 the brand new Aberdeen-built clipper Thermopylae set a record time of 61 days port to port on her maiden voyage from London to Melbourne and it was this design that Willis set out to better.[6][7]
It is uncertain how the hull shape for Cutty Sark was chosen. Willis chose Hercules Linton to design and build the ship but Willis already possessed another ship, The Tweed, which he considered to have exceptional performance. The Tweed (originally Punjaub) was a frigate designed by Oliver Lang based on the lines of an old French frigate, built in Bombay for the East India Company as a combination sail/paddle steamer. She and a sister ship were purchased by Willis, who promptly sold the second ship plus engines from The Tweed for more than he paid for both. The Tweed was then lengthened and operated as a fast sailing vessel, but was considered too big for the tea runs. Willis also commissioned two all-iron clippers with designs based upon The Tweed, Hallowe'en and Blackadder. Linton was taken to view The Tweed in dry dock.
Willis considered that The Tweed 's bow shape was responsible for its notable performance, and this form seems to have been adopted for Cutty Sark. Linton, however, felt that the stern was too barrel-shaped and so gave Cutty Sark a squarer stern with less tumblehome. The broader stern increased the buoyancy of the ship's stern, making it lift more in heavy seas so it was less likely that waves would break over the stern, and over the helmsman at the wheel. The square bilge was carried forward through the centre of the ship.[6][8] In the matter of masts Cutty Sark also followed the design of The Tweed, with similar good rake and with the foremast on both ships being placed further aft than was usual.[9]
A contract for Cutty Sark's construction was signed on 1 February 1869 with the firm of Scott & Linton, which had only been formed in May 1868. Their shipyard was at Dumbarton on the River Leven on a site previously occupied by shipbuilders William Denny & Brothers. The contract required the ship to be completed within six months at a contracted price of £17 per ton and maximum weight of 950 tons. This was a highly competitive price for an experimental, state-of-the-art vessel, and for a customer requiring the highest standards. Payment would be made in seven installments as the ship progressed, but with a penalty of £5 for every day the ship was late. The ship was to be built to Lloyd's A1 standard and her construction was supervised on behalf of Willis by Captain George Moodie, who would command her when completed. Construction delays occurred when the Lloyd's inspectors required additional strengthening in the ship.[10]
Work on the ship was suspended when Scott and Linton ran out of money to pay for further work. Rather than simply liquidate the company, an arrangement was made for Denny's to take over the contract and complete the ship, which was finally launched on 22 November 1869 by Captain Moodie's wife. The ship was moved to Denny's yard to have her masts fitted, and then on 20 December towed downriver to Greenock to have her running rigging installed. In the event, completing the ship meant the company's creditors were owed even more money than when work had first been halted.[11]
Broadly, the parts of the ship visible above the waterline were constructed from East India teak, while American rock elm was used for the ship's bottom. The keel (16.5 in × 15 in (42 cm × 38 cm)) had on either side a garboard strake (11 in × 12 in (28 cm × 30 cm)) and then 6 in (15 cm) planking decreasing to 4.75 in (12.1 cm) at 1/5 the depth of the hold. Teak planking began at approximately the level of the bilge stringer. All the external timbers were secured by Muntz metal (brass) bolts to the internal iron frame and the hull covered by Muntz sheeting up to the 18 ft (5.5 m) depth mark. The stem (15 in × 15 in (38 cm × 38 cm)) and sternpost (16.5 in × 15 in (42 cm × 38 cm)) were of teak while the rudder was of English oak. The keel was replaced in the 1920s with one constructed from 15 in (38 cm) pitch pine.[12] The deck was made of 3.5 in (8.9 cm) thick teak while the 'tween deck was 3 in (7.6 cm) yellow pine. Her length was 212 feet 5 inches (64.74 m) with a draft of 21 feet (6.40 m) and a deadweight of 921 tons.[13]
Performance[edit]
A speck on the horizon
One day we sighted a vessel, a mere speck on the horizon, astern of us, and the way she came into view it was evident she was travelling much faster than ourselves. 'Bringing the wind up with her' was remarked on board, and that seemed the only feasible conclusion to arrive at and account for the manner in which she overhauled us. In a few hours she was alongside us, and proved to be the famous British clipper Cutty Sark, one of the fastest ships afloat. She passed us going two feet to our one, and in a short time was hull down ahead of us."
—Wool clipper crewman, 1879[14]
The maximum logged speed for Cutty Sark was 17.5 knots (32.4 km/h; 20.1 mph). The speed of a sailing ship is not so straightforward as a steam ship, as winds vary and a ship must tack when sailing into the wind, both requiring the crew to make constant adjustments to sails, so her speed also depended greatly on the skill of her captain and crew. Her greatest recorded distance in 24 hours was 363 nautical miles (672 km; 418 mi) averaging 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph), although she recorded 2163 miles[clarification needed] in six days, which given the weather over the whole period implied she had achieved over 370 nmi (690 km; 430 mi) some days.[15] By comparison, Thermopylae 's best recorded 24-hour distance was 358 nmi (663 km; 412 mi). Cutty Sark was considered to have the edge in a heavier wind, and Thermopylae in a lighter wind.[16]

Tian'an Men Gate is the Ming Dynasty gate which separates Beijing's Forbidden City (officially known as the Palace Museum) from Tian'an Men Square, is from where Mao proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1st, 1949, and where a huge portrait of "The Great Helmsman" still remains.
Among clipper ships, the most prevalent half-poop deck arrangement was one usually built at the height of the main rail. It elevated the steering stand aft to a height which allowed both the helmsman and officer of the watch a clear view of the entire ship before them. And it did not tend to break the beauty of the vessel's all-important sheer line when viewed from broad side.
Flying Cloud's half poop had accommodations for senior officers and passengers enclosed below. This resulted in a minimum of structures encumbering the poop deck itself, the largest item being a small house built into the break of the half poop which provided access to the tween-decks cabins and staterooms.
This portico or trunk cabin had an entry floor on the same level as the broad weather deck providing headroom and entry directly from the quarterdeck and the companionway aft to access the half-poop deck and steering stand.
Large American clippers built to take passengers like the Flying Cloud, carried up to five ship's boats, including launch or longboat for transporting water, stores and provisions as well as quarter boats and lifeboats. Longer boats -- carried above the main deck house -- were launched by tackle from yard arms or triatic stay rigged between fore and main masts.
No tarps were employed to cover the open ship's boats when stowed in upright position. These small craft were deliberately left open to the elements to keep the boats' plank seams swollen tight. Tarp covers came into widespread use with the advent of steamships to keep the ship's boats free of cinders and soot rising from the steamship boiler and out the ship's stack.

From the vantage point of my living room window, I regularly get to see all sorts of parking antics in the restaurant's car park opposite me. Yesterday was a little different. The boat moorings on the canal have been quite busy in recent days and three were moored, when a somewhat larger craft decided it wanted to moor too. After at least ten minutes of inching into the mooring bay, the helmsman finally admitted defeat, realised it was never going to fit, and disappeared at pace down the canal.
Caledonian MacBrayne ferry Eigg unloading vehicles from Lismore at Oban.
The wheelhouse was raised from its original position so that the helmsman could see over the top of a hay lorry on the vehicle deck. This led to the Eigg being known as "the tall ship". She has since been disposed of by Calmac and I believe now operates in Ireland.

OVERVIEW
Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the River Leven, Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line, she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development, which halted as sailing ships gave way to steam propulsion.
The opening of the Suez Canal (also in 1869) meant that steamships now enjoyed a much shorter route to China, so Cutty Sark spent only a few years on the tea trade before turning to the trade in wool from Australia, where she held the record time to Britain for ten years. Improvements in steam technology meant that gradually steamships also came to dominate the longer sailing route to Australia, and the ship was sold to the Portuguese company Ferreira and Co. in 1895 and renamed Ferreira. She continued as a cargo ship until purchased in 1922 by retired sea captain Wilfred Dowman, who used her as a training ship operating from Falmouth, Cornwall. After his death, Cutty Sark was transferred to the Thames Nautical Training College, Greenhithe in 1938 where she became an auxiliary cadet training ship alongside HMS Worcester. By 1954, she had ceased to be useful as a cadet ship and was transferred to permanent dry dock at Greenwich, London, for public display.
Cutty Sark is listed by National Historic Ships as part of the National Historic Fleet (the nautical equivalent of a Grade 1 Listed Building). She is one of only three remaining original composite construction (wooden hull on an iron frame) clipper ships from the nineteenth century in part or whole, the others being the City of Adelaide, which arrived in Port Adelaide, South Australia on 3 February 2014 for preservation, and the beached skeleton of Ambassador of 1869 near Punta Arenas, Chile.
The ship has been damaged by fire twice in recent years, first on 21 May 2007 while undergoing conservation. She was restored and was reopened to the public on 25 April 2012. On 19 October 2014 she was damaged in a smaller fire.
Cutty Sark whisky derives its name from the ship. An image of the clipper appears on the label, and the maker formerly sponsored the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race. The ship also inspired the name of the Saunders Roe Cutty Sark flying boat.
CONSTRUCTION
Cutty Sark was ordered by shipping magnate John Willis, who operated a shipping company founded by his father. The company had a fleet of clippers and regularly took part in the tea trade from China to Britain. Speed was a clear advantage to a merchant ship, but it also created prestige for the owners: the 'tea race' was widely reported in contemporary newspapers and had become something of a national sporting event, with money being gambled against a winning ship. In earlier years, Willis had commanded his father's ships at a time when American designed ships were the fastest in the tea trade, and then had owned British designed ships, which were amongst the best available in the world but had never won the tea race. In 1868 the brand new Aberdeen built clipper Thermopylae set a record time of 61 days port to port on her maiden voyage from London to Melbourne and it was this design that Willis set out to better.
It is uncertain how the hull shape for Cutty Sark was chosen. Willis chose Hercules Linton to design and build the ship but Willis already possessed another ship, The Tweed, which he considered to have exceptional performance. The Tweed (originally Punjaub) was a frigate designed by Oliver Lang based on the lines of an old French frigate, built in Bombay for the East India Company as a combination sail/paddle steamer. She and a sister ship were purchased by Willis, who promptly sold the second ship plus engines from The Tweed for more than he paid for both. The Tweed was then lengthened and operated as a fast sailing vessel, but was considered too big for the tea runs. Willis also commissioned two all-iron clippers with designs based upon The Tweed, Hallowe'en and Blackadder. Linton was taken to view The Tweed in dry dock.
Willis considered that The Tweed's bow shape was responsible for its notable performance, and this form seems to have been adopted for Cutty Sark. Linton, however, felt that the stern was too barrel shaped and so gave Cutty Sark a squarer stern with less tumblehome. The broader stern increased the buoyancy of the ship's stern, making it lift more in heavy seas so it was less likely that waves would break over the stern, and over the helmsman at the wheel. The square bilge was carried forward through the centre of the ship. Cutty Sark was given masts that followed the design of The Tweed, with similar good rake and the foremast on both placed further aft than usual.
A contract for Cutty Sark's construction was signed on 1 February 1869 with the firm of Scott & Linton, which had only been formed in May 1868. Their shipyard was at Dumbarton on the River Leven on a site previously occupied by shipbuilders William Denny & Brothers. The contract required the ship to be completed within six months at a contracted price of £17 per ton and maximum weight of 950 tons. This was a highly competitive price for an experimental, state-of-the-art vessel, and for a customer requiring the highest standards. Payment would be made in seven instalments as the ship progressed, but with a penalty of £5 for every day the ship was late. The ship was to be built to Lloyd's A1 standard and her construction was supervised on behalf of Willis by Captain George Moodie, who would command her when completed. Construction delays occurred when the Lloyd's inspectors required additional strengthening in the ship.
Work on the ship was suspended when Scott and Linton ran out of money to continue. Rather than simply liquidate the company, an arrangement was made for Denny's to take over the contract and complete the ship, which was finally launched on 22 November 1869 by Captain Moodie's wife. The ship was moved to Denny's yard to have her masts fitted, and then on 20 December towed downriver to Greenock to have her running rigging installed. In the event, completing the ship meant the company's creditors were owed even more money than when work had first been halted.
Cutty Sark's length was 212 feet 5 inches (64.74 m), with a draft of 21 feet (6.40 m) and a deadweight of 921 tons.Broadly, the parts of the ship visible above the waterline were constructed from East India teak, while American rock elm was used for the ship's bottom. The stem (15 in × 15 in (38 cm × 38 cm)) and sternpost (16.5 in × 15 in (42 cm × 38 cm)) were of teak while the rudder was of English oak. The keel was replaced in the 1920s with one constructed from 15 in (38 cm) pitch pine. The deck was made of 3.5 in (8.9 cm) thick teak while the 'tween deck was 3 in (7.6 cm) yellow pine. The keel (16.5 in × 15 in (42 cm × 38 cm)) had on either side a garboard strake (11 in × 12 in (28 cm × 30 cm)) and then 6 in (15 cm) planking decreasing to 4.75 in (12.1 cm) at 1/5 the depth of the hold. Teak planking began at approximately the level of the bilge stringer. The hull was covered by Muntz metal sheeting up to the 18 ft (5.5 m) depth mark, and all the external timbers were secured by Muntz metal bolts to the internal iron frame. The wrought-iron frame was an innovation in shipbuilding. It consisted of frames (vertical), beams (horizontal) and cross bracing (diagonal members).
The diagonally-braced iron frame made for a strong, rigid ship; diagonal members prevent racking (shearing, where frame rectangles become parallelograms). Less working and leaking of the hull meant less crew time spent pumping, allowing more time to be spent on changes of sail.[citation needed] The wrought-iron-framed hull also took up less cargo space than an all-wood hull would have done. The Muntz metal sheeting reduced fouling of Cutty Sark's hull; with a cleaner hull, she could sail faster.

ecco: ci siamo :-D
c'è grande confusione sotto il cielo, come diceva il timoniere ... quindi va tutto bene, aggiungo io! grazie a tutti per gli auguri e .. a lunedì!
buon weekend :-))
here we are!
there is a big chaos under the sky - as the "great helmsman" was used to say ... so, everything is going the right way, I add!
thank you all for your support and wishes and .. see you in monday!
have a nice week end!
******* no awards!, only ... friendly wishes!!! *lol*******
On the way from Vinh Long across the Cõ Chiên River to Khu Sx Bánh Kẹo Dừa to see how rice paper, rice wine, and traditional candy are made we passed many other boats.
This couple had chartered their own yacht.
Ever since I began covering Kintyre for work, I've driven by this derelict catamaran on a weekly basis.
It sits on the shore of West Loch Tarbert, opposite a park of self-catering holiday chalets. It's clearly visible on Google Maps, and using the Historical Street View function I can see that it was first abandoned between March 2009 and September 2011.
Since then it's lost its main sail, mast, and the aft canopy for the helmsman. I wonder what the story is behind such an ignominious end...
Edit: after 13-14 years, the vessel has now been removed.

M/V Golden Kimisis, 1974. The bridge, first officer at the helm, the captain checking out nearby traffic. This is good view of a modern (1973) freighter's control station. The helmsman has a gyroscopic compass, while the periscope on the ceiling shows the conventional magnetic compass. The telephone is for communication with the engine room, but there is also a conventional "telegraph" to transmit speed instructions, whose readout is the dial on the ceiling. In case of total loss of electrical power, there's a voice tube (in the center of the picture).
Most of the time at sea, the ship is on autopilot, keeping to a predetermined course. There is always an officer and a sailor on the bridge, in rotating sifts. My uncle, the ship's captain, always took the graveyard shift, midnight to 6:00 AM.
There was a radar system, but during the entire 10 weeks I never saw anyone use it.

Sailor's Monument
The Sailor's Monument, a national monument of Norwegian seamen's efforts at sea, from the Viking Age to the 20th century, paid for by funds collected and unveiled on June 7, 1950.
In the maritime city of Bergen, it goes without saying that a memorial dedicated to this important and honorable professional group had to be centralized space in the city.
This demand was met in full when the municipality allowed Dyre Vaas's towering, seven-meter-high sculptural tribute to the sailor's stand to dominate the eastern end of the city's main street, Torgallmenningen.
But many people reacted to the fact that the Sailor Monument here stood a good distance from the right element of seafarers, the sea.
It was only in 1999, almost 50 years after the unveiling, that this objection succeeded to some extent. As part of the extensive renovation of the Torgallmenning completed this year, a large water pool was built around the monument. After this, 12 tough sailors, cast in bronze, were able to reflect in the water. Waves around the monument, on the other hand, only criticize the location and the artistic design that has created.
The road from idea to realization of the Sailor Monument was very long. The idea was erected as early as 1917 by the Bergen Shipowners' Association and the Bergen Skipperforening, which wanted a memorial to war-lost seafarers.
Sofus Madsen undertook to make a draft based on this wish, but it was rejected.
It was concluded that the monument should express a general tribute to the sailor's stand rather than dwell especially on the victims of the war.
In 1938, open competition was announced, and a total of 45 drafts came in. The winner was "The Trial of Happiness", submitted by the telemarketing Dyre Vaa.
Because of the war, it was 12 years before the monument could be unveiled. The honorable assignment was left to the then Minister of Industry Lars Evensen.
The result was a startling, but controversial, sculptural account of Norwegian shipping, expressed in the form of 12 burly sailor statues and high above them eight reliefs on two heights that contribute with further knowledge.
Four centuries of Norwegian maritime history pass revue on the monument's equally numerous sides.
The tenth century is presented as "Vinland's journey", and the statues depict a chieftain with a spear, a skull in leather skins and a berserk with a shield on his back. The reliefs show a Viking ship under sail and a meeting between Vikings and Indians.
The eighteenth century, "Greenland's journey", is symbolized by a scouting fisherman, a full-fledged captain in the process of giving orders and a sailor with a pipe in his mouth.
The reliefs are related to Greenland's rediscovery from Bergen. You see Hans Egede preaching the Christian gospel to the Eskimos and a stack drain with a sea worm bowing under the ship.
On the panel for the nineteenth century, with the inscription "Kornferd", you see a ship with a top hat, a first-time boy and a pilot. The reliefs depict whaling and scenes from a shipyard.
The twentieth century has the inscription “Oljeferd”, and the sculptures depict a deck boy, a helmsman with binoculars and a wrench machinist. The reliefs depict a ship in front of a rising sun and a resurrection scene. Drowned awakened to eternal life by an angel.
As models, Dyre Vaa did not use seafarers, but people from his community. Several Telemark farmers from that time must have been easily recognizable. The artist was working on the monument throughout the war. In 1944, no less than 25 plaster statues lined up in his studio in Rauland. The number was subsequently more than halved. A very rich memorial must be said to be the Seamen's Monument, a work of art that alone is an entire art exhibition.
