4466. Way back at pic NOs 187-191 we produced a series of five images of the 1370-2120-tons [full load] survey frigate HMAS BARCOO driven ashore at West Beach, Glenelg a beachside suburb of Adelaide on Saturday April 11, 1948. Ships in the Port of Adelaide had been hit by a freak storm at midnight on Friday, and BARCOO, with all but 50 of her crew ashore and her engines shut down, was one of four vessels to drag their anchors or break free of moorings, with three freighters seriously damaged in the port area.
With houses and other buildings unroofed, there was also a considerable amount of damage ashore. Along with the storm and HMAS BARCOO's dilemma, our story also repeated an account of the miserable experience of a local fisherman, ARCH PUDNEY, who was to spend two nights alone sheltering in a old kiosk, next to an old police shed at the end of the disintegrating Glenelg jetty.
Mr Pudney had been called out at the height of the storm to help cast off a police launch ARHIE BADENACH [which was almost immediately driven ashore]. Then, to the great alarm of Mr Pudney and a police constable left with him, the jetty itself began to break up around them. The policeman made a desperate but successful run across the disintegrating structure to safety. But poor Mr Pudney - a non-swimmer - had been too horror-struck by his situation to try it.
He spent a terrifying night seeking shelter in the kiosk, also threatening to break up around him.
The next day, five surf life-savinfg smimmers had braved huge waves and debris to reach him, but again the poor man, frozen and demoralised, could not bring himself to get into the rough water with them. He would spend yet another freezing night in the kiosk, before a boat reached him the next day and he was rescued - suffering hypothermia, but otherwise uninjured.
These notes were extracted from a Marine Life Society of South Australia online report, which can be found here:

HMAS BARCOO, meantime, had come ashore on the nearby beach, and would remain there for some time [reports of the time BARCOO was grounded vary, from between around 10 days up to several weeks]. The RAN's official website avoids the subject altogether. In any event, BARCOO received little damage, and once a dredge had scoured a channel she was towed back into open water, and departed with her survey companion, the sloop HMAS WARREGO [seen offshore above], under her own steam.
Later, the road leading to West beach pier would be named Barcoo Road, and the frigate would remain in the memory of the many hundreds of Glenelg residents, and other Adelaide residents, who turned out to see her.
One of these people was a 21-year-old local racing stable employee named James Batholemew Cummings, one of the local Glenelg thoroughbred trainer Jim Cummings's boys. Working then in his dad's stables as a strapper, the dark-haired young man would come down the beach doing slow work every day on a magnificent-looking animal that caught the eye of many sailors as he worked each day around bows of the Navy ship stranded on the low tide sandbanks close to the shore.
More than 60 years later, the rider would remember those days and write something about them.
But this was happening in the April of 1948. The rider on the horse was young Bart Cummings. And the name of the horse was Comic Court.

Since the prompt for today was "Lunch", and I had a busy day, I decided to go for an easy page in my travel journal. This is the first of 3 cruises I'm documenting in this journal, and this book is the first time I've done a travel journal like this. I must say, it's a lot of fun, and a lot less stressful than some of my more planned out scrapbook pages.
Day Fourteen
Use a different person/point of view for journaling. Well...I sort of did that.
Journaling reads:
"most people don't understand my situation. they want to judge it & criticize it. why is it so HARD to understand? matt & i bought a house while dating. we figured out we were better off as roommates than a couple. we live together - in peace. jon & i are dating. okay, so maybe it is a little complicated - but for now it works. i've got two awesome dudes...life is good. 10-11"
*Additional info...I dated Matt for 6 years, so buying a house wasn't a spur of the moment decision. We are great friends and continue to get along...perhaps better now than we did while we were dating. Lots of people don't understand how we can live in peace, especially since I'm dating somebody new. It makes us laugh...it's not that complicated.*

Wide Load - moving House .. 18 wheeler transporting single storey building - down the Local road .. just Wide enough ..
Guildford, Surrey ..
CEA were employed for the cleaning and loading of a very valuable speedboat.
The boats hull was cleaned with pressure washers, while the internal sections were cleaned by hand. After drying out the boat was vacuumed and polished and all the seats were wrapped in protective sheeting. A specially designed wooden cradle had been manufactured by CEA to hold the boat securely when in the container.
All lifting lugs were sealed and the windshield removed. The boat was lashed to its cradle and foam protectors attached at the point of contact with the boat. After all lashing was in place and the boat secure the team then carefully moved the cradle and boat into a 40ft HC.
Block and braces were installed to secure the cradle in the container and all loose items were lashed securely in place ready for transportation and shipping.
Loading were down on Saturday but still great to have a fair number on the bus and getting a few hours on the clock to expose any adjustments and tinkering required.

Thanks to all of you who offered support and tips on my foray into digital scrapbooking. This layout has been on my to-do list for months. I bought the Ali Edwards template ages ago but never had the nerve to do the layout. The paper is from Jessica Sprague.
This took way longer than I planned, but I am so glad I decided to use the tips I learned yesterday - it will help me to learn to do this faster I am sure.
This rather grainy photo shows the method - known as "hoist loading" - of loading vehicles on to the first three car ferries to operate on the west coast of Scotland (outside the Firth of Clyde), the MVs Hebrides, Columba and Clansman of 1964 operated by David MacBrayne Ltd (latterly Caledonian MacBrayne after merger in 1973 with the Caledonian Steam Packet Company Ltd which ran the ferries on the Clyde.)
Instead of driving down a ramp adjustable according to the state of the tide (a "linkspan") directly on to the ship's cardeck at the bow or (more usually with 60s ferries) the stern, hoist loading involved the ship being equipped with a transverse platform which was raised from the car deck by pulleys or hydraulic rams to the level of the pier. A ramp was lowered and 4 or 5 cars could drive on. Turntables set in to the platform enabled some of the cars to be swung round through 90 degrees to ease them being driven off onto the car deck once the platform had been lowered back down.
It was pretty laborious - and almost useless for HGVs - but was necessitated because, whilst the Government was prepared in the early 1960s to invest in ships designed to carry vehicles, it was not at that time yet prepared to invest in linkspans.
Linkspans began to be provided in the early 70s but the process was gradual and I think I'm right in saying that the last service to be converted to "end-loading" ro-ro operations was Mallaig-Armadale in 1994/95.
The only photograph ever taken by me of hoist loading is here at Castlebay although note the end is nigh with the construction of the linkspan ongoing in the background. The ship pictured there has a hoist as well as a ramp at the stern allowing it to operate from linkspans as well. Some Calmac ferries still have hoist systems (as well as the now normal ramps at bow and stern) which would only be deployed in emergency if the linkspan at an island broke down.
I don't know which of the three original ferries it is in the picture or where it is (Craignure on Mull, possibly) but note the MacBrayne's bus on the pier.

Today's prompt... holiday colors.... does green count? Like, for St. Patrick's Day? Why not.
I made the journaling tag - I was inspired by the idea of not spending $4.99 + $8 shipping from Studio Calico. (I love Studio Calico and salivate at all their products and kits, but really.) Mine cost $0. I'll post a tutorial on my blog if you want to see them up close.... here it is: happiebyabbie.blogspot.com/2012/05/load-512-day-3.html

Getting this in at the last second today. I've totally fallen off the wagon, but I'm going to try to get at least 3 more layouts done this month so that I can say I got 50% of the way through! =) I didn't do the prompt, just scrapped this photo I wanted to get down. I basically scraplifted the last layout on this post at the American Crafts blog: americancrafts.typepad.com/studio/2012/05/6x6-mini-paper-.... I loved the idea of the banners around the photo. =)

Only half done sorry ladies! I have run out of time today and need to head in to work the night shift. I am stuck on a title. Suggestions? This page is for the 2012 Annual Alberta Police and Peace Officer Memorial on Sept 29.
Supply roll-up, project #5, all open and ready to be rolled! This project took me over 5 hours to do! I had to figure out a way to have two pockets with different divisions. It was a good brain-workout! Difficult, but worth the results! :)
