An aircrew flying a new production PBM-5 Mariner patrol bomber makes a jet-assisted take off from the Martin facility at Middle River, Maryland, on 3 August 1945. The 628 PBM-5s built were flown by the U.S. Navy extensively in the Pacific due to their increased speed, range, and payload. The Mariner was a contemporary of the better-known Consolidated PBY Catalina patrol bomber in US Navy service. The PBM entered service in 1942 and served in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. The Mariner could carry more than 8,000 pounds of bombs. Post-war, one Mariner was used by a civilian company in New England to transport lobsters. A total of 1,367 PBMs of all versions were built and production ran from 1939 until 1949. The last Mariner on active service was decommissioned by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1958. lockheedmartin.com/codeone
The Seattle Mariners have had their share of great players. They've also let go enough Hall of Famers to field their own All-Star Team.
They signed David Ortiz in 1992 when he was just 17 years old. After almost 4 years in their farm system they traded him the Minnesota Twins.

'In 1924 an avenue of Monterey Cypress trees was planted along the Esplanade to commemorate the 26 local men who lost their lives during World War I. Over the years the odd tree had been removed for various reasons and in 1997 the East Gippsland Shire Council, unaware of their original significance, planned to remove the remainder. Their decision caused considerable controversy within the community. Following a public campaign by the Lakes Entrance Regional Historical Society the trunks of six of the trees have been preserved and transformed into memorial sculptures by John Brady who carved the stump of one tree into a sea captain to reflect the community's early pioneers and to commemorate the loss of ships and lives at Lakes Entrance. The sculpture proved so popular that it was decided to utilize the other tree stumps in the same way and local businesses sponsored the carving of the five other stumps which represent a World War I soldier, a wounded soldier with a donkey, a World War I nurse, Simpson* helping two wounded soldiers and a family waiting for Dad. The sculptures are waxed and oiled constantly to preserve the wood.

Watchet harbour became the inspiration for the epic poem The Ancient Mariner by the romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In 1797 he walked over the Quantock Hills from his home in Nether Stowey, along with his friends William and Dorothy Wordsworth, and came upon Watchet. It has been said that looking down at the town from St. Decuman's Church gave him the inspiration for his poem. Here is a link to the poem......

Yesterday I was lucky to have been allowed onto the field at Safeco Field for the pre game batting practice. The game was our Seattle Mariner versus the Houston Astros. Houston 2, Seattle 1 was the outcome as well as a couple of sketches.
This sculpture reflects Poole's fishing history. Unfortunately you can't avoid the bollard that BCP put in when you view the work from the correct angle.

Despite very little done to transform Ford Escape into Mercury Mariner...it's quite effective. I think the Mariner has a more upscale appearance than the Escape.

I had a good day for seeing boats today. I saw two moderns and two classics. This is one of the moderns: the AEP Mariner.
