A model of Mariner 9 orbiting Mars (bottom of a spacehopper).
Mariner 9 (Mariner Mars '71 / Mariner-I) is a NASA space orbiter that helped in the exploration of Mars and was part of the Mariner program. Mariner 9 was launched toward Mars on May 30, 1971 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and reached the planet on November 14 of the same year,[1][2] becoming the first spacecraft to orbit another planet — only narrowly beating Soviet Mars 2 and Mars 3, which both arrived within a month. After months of dust-storms it managed to send back clear pictures of the surface.
Mariner 9 returned 7329 images over the course of its mission, which concluded in October 1972.

The first production Mariners were delivered in 1940 after test flights in 1939. Early model flying boats had retractable wing floats and Wright Cyclone radials, while later (-5A) amphibians had tricycle landing gear, fixed wing floats, and Pratt & Whitney radials.
These later models could also be equipped with radar, powered gun turrets, and wing- and engine nacelle-mounted bomb, depth charge, mine, and torpedo packages. Earlier aircraft in the series were utilized by the Naval Air Transport Service for cargo transport while later aircraft served as long-range reconnaissance and air-sea warfare craft. The Coast Guard the Mariner for search and rescue duty. Mariners were also used briefly by the Royal Air Force under Lend-Lease provisions.
The Museum's Mariner, a PBM-SA amphibian, NBN 122071, was the fifth of 36 -5As built. The plane was accepted by the Navy on 6 May 1948, and assigned to VP-33, Norfolk, Virginia. Later assigned to Naval Air Activity, Annapolis, it served as one of six Mariners assigned to the U.S. Naval Academy for midshipmen pilot/crew training and aviation indoctrination. Number 122071 was stricken from the Navy inventory in December 1956 and sold to Frontier Airways, which sold it to the first of a series of other civilian owners. The plane made its last flight on 17 July 1971.
Specifications:
Speed: 211 miles per hour
Wingspan: 118 feet
Length: 79 feet, 10 inches
Engine: twin Pratt & Whitney radials (-5A)
Range: 2,240 miles
Ceiling: 19,800 feet

If you like real ale, and visiting Great Yarmouth, you should visit the Mariners Tavern. Probably serves the best real ale in the town, also serves guest ciders. A friendly, locals pub that welcomes visitors and regulars alike, a great place to spend a few hours.
I mitten av maj 2007 genomförde NATO sin största marina övning i modern tid "the Noble Mariner". Sverige stod värd för övningen och 37 krigsbåtar från NATOs snabbinsatsstyrka lade till i Göteborgs hamn. Ofog tycker inte att krig är särskilt "nobelt" och genomförde därför "the Rebel Mariner" för att visa att NATO inte är välkommen i Göteborgs hamn.

Aunt Linda found this old picture of Papa John, from his years as a sailor in the US Merchant Marine during ww2. What is so great about this picture is when I decided to sail for the US Merchant Marine Papa John would tell me stories about when he sailed. With this one picture of him ties all of the stories together, into something I will be able to pass on and never forget.
