“Captains Courageous” is a coming-of-age tale of fishing off the New England coast. It is the story of Harvey Cheyne, a spoiled rich kid, who stumbles overboard an ocean liner and is rescued by fisherman Manuel Fidello off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and brought aboard a small fishing boat. There he meets Disko Troop, captain of the fishing boat, who refuses to take the young man back to port but agrees to take him on as part of the crew against Harvey’s wishes. Over the course of the novel, Harvey befriends the captain’s son Dan and has some sense knocked into him. Dan helps the arrogant, overly pampered Harvey become a hard-working, self-reliant man at sea.
“Captains Courageous” is also an excellent portrayal of life in the Gloucester fishing fleet of Massachusetts, written while the newlywed Kipling lived in Vermont. Although Kipling lived in Vermont several years and was married to an American this is his only novel with entirely American settings, themes and major characters. The American edition of the book is dedicated to James Conland, M.D., of Brattleboro, Vermont. Dr. Conland had brought the Kiplings elder daughter into the world and had been a member of the Massachusetts fishing fleet. It is he who took Kipling to explore the wharves and quays of Boston and Gloucester.
Considered one of the great sea novels of the 19th century, “Captains Courageous” was made into an excellent Victor Fleming film in 1937 starring Freddie Bartholomew (Harvey Cheyne), Spencer Tracy (his rescuer Manuel Fidello),
Lionel Barrymore (Captain Disko Troop) and Mickey Rooney (Dan Troop).

Rachel C is Courageously Vulnerable (CV) in this image. That is she's transparent and vulnerable in a radically different way. It is strength and confidence knowing that you are willing and committed to love and reject the limitations of fear, which is just insecurity and uncertainty. It starts with acceptance of yourself and awareness of belonging, from there you can reach out and cross the daunting divide of fear and rejection, and be yourself. The cool thing is we are all attracted to sincerity and vulnerability. I'm touched by the energy that emanates from Rachel C in this photo. I'm glad I met her, she's a wonderful person. She's 18 yrs old and studying acting at INOVA. Washington DC, 1 October 2017.
Class 50 no. 50032 (Courageous) sits forlorn inside Old Oak Common shed on 29th December 1990. The loco, now minus nameplates was withdrawn from service in October 1990 and was having useful comnponents recovered to assis in the maintenance of other members of the Class 50 fleet at this time.
Soon, she would be reduced to scrap metal in a skip - a horrible way to treat my favourite loco.
A courageous but also very reckless toa of fire, Rulor was created without the ability to sense pain. In some respects this has made him stronger and tirelessly but this means he doesn't know when to stop when he has been seriously hurt.
However a recent injury to his shoulders has brought him back with his feet on the ground.

Courageous are the hands
that reach out to another in need
unarmed of pride
that cripples many
with silence or an empty roar
