After I waited in a steady rain for almost an hour and a half, the R&N OCS exits White Haven tunnel. Minutes before the train arrived a huge ten foot slab of ice peeled off the rock wall and landed on the tracks. When the train struck the ice it exploded into a fine powder which is visible surrounding the locomotive.
Um lugar de paz e sossego
A primeira impressão de quem chega à entrada da Barra de Cunhaú é a de estar diante de uma enorme lagoa de água doce, em vez do Oceano Atlântico. O rio, protegido dos ventos, é tranqüila e quase sem ondas. São 5 quilômetros de dunas e praias por onde serpenteiam os rios Cunhaú e Catu, tendo ao fundo milhares de coqueiros. Ali está também uma das jóias ecológicas do litoral potiguar: um grande manguezal funciona como um grande viveiro de ostras, caranguejos e outros animais marinhos.

Build between 1864 and 1866, the Italian Ironclad RN Palestro fought in the Battle of Lissa out of the Island today known as the Croatian Vis. The battle between Italy and Austro-Hungary was probably the last Battle at Sea which relied on the tactics of ramming. The Palestro sunk due to an explosion in the mid-to-aft area, probably an ammunition magazine.
The astonishing well preserved wreck found its resting place in a depth of 120m / 393ft in the Adriatic Sea, where she is a relict of a bygone time. Here, diving Legend Mario Arena examines the broken part of the Hull

RN fleet tender Messina was launched by Richard Dunston Ltd at Thorne, Humberside in 1982 as HMFT Messina A107, one of a quartet of 29m RN fleet tenders of the Manly Class, the others being Manly, Mentor, and Millbrook. She was attached the Royal Marines in Poole as a training vessel before being de-commissioned after a little over a decade of service. There followed a short commercial career before being purchased by the Pride of Bristol Trust in 1994.
Since 1994 she has acted as a community boat. Operated by the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service Old Comrades Association. They provided a means whereby members could use their training and experience to provide a useful service to the local community and charities. Underprivileged and special needs groups were assisted, as were local schools and cadet/scout organisations providing sea going, firefighting, ship and boat handling, first aid and general team building experiences. Also subjects such as the maintenance of the ship were covered. In all it must have been a really useful local asset.
Time has moved on and during the summer of 2022 she moved to the Royal Navy Museum in Hartlepool which was where I came across her as I was taking my lunch break. I had a good chat with the crew who were more than impressed with their recent addition.
