The Magic of The Dolos & The Tetrapod
Tetrapods
What Are These And Why Are They Important?
Just when you think you have the hang of the intricate lingo at the heart of the maritime industry, along comes something like the ‘dolos’ and the ‘tetrapod’. If you only have a passing knowledge of the shipping trade, you’d be forgiven for thinking that these terms describe particularly strange sea creatures, but in fact, it refers to rather complex concrete engineering structures that are designed to protect coastal spaces from erosion by reinforcing seawalls and breakwaters around harbours, etc.
The Difference Between a Dolos & a Tetrapod
First off, let’s clear this up. A dolos is a tetrapod, but a tetrapod is not necessarily a dolos – i.e. a dolos is one of the kinds of tetrapod that are constructed and used around the world. The reason why South Africans are more likely to refer to it as a dolos is that this was the name given to the particular structures that were invented by South African harbour draughtsman, Aubrey Kruger, in 1963 and first deployed on the breakwater of East London in 1964.
Although the exact shapes and weights of the concrete structures used for this purpose around the globe differ, they mostly share two characteristics – they feature four legs and have the ability to interlock in various ways. It’s this first characteristic that lies at the heart of the term ‘tetrapod’ (in Greek, ‘tetra’ means four, and ‘pod’ means legs).
The weight of the tetrapods used around the world tends to correlate with the weather conditions in each region. According to a study by Stephanie Wehkamp from Jacobs University, some tetrapods weigh as little as 6 tonnes each, while others can be as heavy as 30 tonnes (e.g. in areas like the north coast of Taiwan, where typhoons are common), even ranging up to 40 tonnes (e.g. in Libya, where these enormous structures safeguard the port of the economically important Misrata Steel Factory).
How Does It Work Though?
In simple terms, singular shape of these concrete structures breaks the force of incoming waves, while still allowing the water to flow around it. This, in turn, reduces displacement. Because these structures are so heavy, it remains in place through adverse weather conditions, offering a stable, yet porous, barrier that can withstand the power of wind, waves, and relentless currents.

The ubiquitous loading of frozen meat, fresh fruit and vegetables is not universal.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because of it's fortuitous location on the north-south & east-west trade routes, the port of Las Palmas has, since the 1400's, been a port for loading fresh water, fresh food, water, and latterly oil bunkers (fuel for ship's engine) and until the mid 20th century, coal bunkers for steam ships too.
Even the Italian explorer & navigator Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus), sponsored by the Spanish, called here on his exploratory voyages to Caribbean, Central America, and South America for the same reason(s).
So, the trend continues unabated today.
'Stores' (storing ship) is probably the only job on board a merchant ship where nearly all hands (except the Captain) are engaged in the loading and distribution of the victuals and deck & engine stores that are required to keep a ship at sea. The more the number of the crew, the increased quantity of food stores are required.

A BOY RUN OVER IN QUEEN-STREET
About half-past six o'clock last evening, while a four in hand belonging to Mr. Dignan was coming home from the Ellerslie races, and was passing down Queen-street, a boy, named Charles Pitcorn, eight years of age got accidentally run over, one of the wheels going over his body. The Naval Band was going up the street at the time, and the lad, with other children, were following it, and it is supposed his attention was thus absorbed, so that he was not on the look-out. He was taken to the residence of his stepfather, Mr. Peter Petersen, Chapel-street North. Dr. Hooper found the lad's arm broken, and set it, but there were found to be internal injuries, and of these the little fellow died about midnight. An inquest will take place to-day.

THE LATE STREET ACCIDENT.
CORONER'S INQUEST.
An inquest was held yesterday afternoon before Dr. Philson, at the Pier Hotel, on the body of the lad C. W. Pitcom, who was killed by being run over by a drag in Queenstreet on Monday evening. Mr. Rigby appeared for the driver, Rollo Duncan, Sergeant McMahon conducted the inquest, Alexander Duthie was chosen foreman of the jury, and, after viewing the body, the following evidence was taken:-
J. W. Oxley, shipchandler, Queen-street, deposed that on Monday evening, between six and seven p.m., he was walking up Queen-street, and when about opposite the Thistle Hotel, he noticed a four-in-hand drag coming down Queen-street. It was going at a moderate trot, and when immediately opposite the Thistle he noticed deceased in front of the horses apparently making for the pavement. The near horse knocked the boy down, and then he was trodden on by the near shaft horse, and then the front wheel went over his body. Witness then rushed to the middle of the road and picked the boy up, and took him to Edson, the chemist, and subsequently to Dr. Hooper. He then went to the deceased's stepfather, Peter Petersen, Chapel Street North, and told him of the accident. He did not notice whether the drag had lights.
To the Foreman: The Volunteer band was coming up the street at the time, and a very large crowd was following. The drag was almost in the middle of the crowd, and the horses were somewhat restless. He did not think the driver was justified in going at a such a rate, but it was a difficult matter to drive four excited horses quietly
To Sergeant McMahon: He heard the driver call out warning the people to get out of the way. He seemed to have the horses fairly well in hand.
To Mr. Rigby: He heard the driver shouting before he saw the boy. The street was not clear in front of the brake. The boy appeared to be confused, and tried to make for witness's side of the street. He thought the accident was an inevitable one, and he did not think any blame was attachable to the driver, except that he was going a little too fast.
Dr. Hooper deposed to attending the deceased, He found him crying, and very faint and cold, and covered with dirt. The left arm was broken between the elbow and the shoulder, and he complained of great pain in his chest, and stomach. Several ribs were fractured near the left shoulder. There was a mark as if a wheel had passed over the breast bone. There were also bruises on both sides of the abdomen. Afterwards the lad was taken to the house of his mother in Chapel Street. Witness thought the cause of death was a severe injury to the chest and abdomen. He stated that in driving about the streets he found it almost impossible to keep clear of the children, and they seemed to make practice of seeing who could run in front of the horses first. They appeared to do it out of pure devilment.
Mr. W. R. Waddel, baker, deposed that while going up Queen street on Monday evening, about half-past six, in charge of the City Guards, of which he is captain, and when nearly opposite Darby Street, he heard a scream, and saw a four-horse open drag coming down the street. Some one screamed out that a child had been run over. The drag was going at a trot, and the driver pulled up opposite Fisher's, the butcher. Witness did not see the child knocked down as his attention was taken up with his men. The horses did not appear to be frightened and he did not see any irregularity in the driving. The driver pulled up at once. To the Foreman The horses were not being driven too fast. To Mr. Rigby There were no lights in the brake, but the streets were well lighted from the shops and street lamp. He thought the driver acted well, and manfully. He thought it was an accident, pure and simple. He had often been driving Queen Street himself, and had frequently to pull up suddenly to prevent children being run over.
Rollo Duncan, the driver, clerk, in the employ of Dignan and Co., livery stable-keepers, Albert-street, deposed that he was accustomed to drive "four-in-hands." C Monday evening he was returning from the Ellerslie races, driving a four-horse dray with about 14 people in it. He had no lights, and came down Queen-street at a slow trot. When within about 50 yards of the Volunteer Band he called out to warn, people, and steadied his horses. A passage was made through the volunteers and the crowd for him. Just when he got to the band deceased rushed out from the crowd and ran in a slanting direction into his leading horses and was immediately knocked down. Witness at once pulled up the horses, and waited for about five minutes and then when told that the lad was taken away he went home to the stables. It was common practice for children to run out in front of horses, and even if he had been walking he could hardly have avoided running over deceased.
Ann Jane Petersen, the mother of the boy killed, and wife of Peter Petersen mariner, Chapel-street, deposed that her son was seven years old. He had gone out to hear the band along with an elder brother. When she heard of the accident, she went up to Dr. Hooper's, and found the boy seriously injured. Witness brought him home herself, and put him to bed. He was quite sensible to the last, but could give no account of the accident. He died at half past twelve on Tuesday morning. Her other son told her that deceased and he were trying to cross the road. Deceased got confused, and was knocked down before the had time to get out of the way.
The jury returned a verdict that death was purely accidental, and that they could find no fault with the driver; but they thought that in such carriages or drags, and such a time of the night, there ought to be lights carried, and they were of opinion that the city should have a regulation to this effect.

Mourn not dear friends,
For I have left a world of care,

Photographed in the graveyard of St Mary's Church, Edge Hill, Liverpool, England. From the Parish Register : "Charles Ware (abode, Duke Street) buried on 4th August 1845 by Samuel Fenton, Assistant Curate of Wavertree".
According to my research Charles Ware was a former US Naval Officer. His wife was Katherine Augusta Rhodes (1797 - 1843), an American poet of some distinction from Boston. Whilst in Liverpool she wrote and published the poem "Muses in St. James' Cemetery". Charles Ware is listed in Gore's Liverpool Directories from the 1839 to the 1845 editions as a "shipchandler and sailmaker" living in Duke Street. Separately, "Charles Ware & Co. warehouse and office" is listed in Bath Street and later Waterloo Street (both near Princes Dock where the American vessels regularly berthed).
I also discovered that he is recorded making a transatlantic crossing from Liverpool to New York in 1838 aboard the ship "South America". He must have returned to England shortly after, and lived in Liverpool for around six years before his death. Katherine Ware died in Paris, France, in 1843 - two years before Charles.

Weman & Co., represented by Mr. Deex, will furnish new sails, supply the rigging, send the spars aloft, and fit the vessel ready for sea. The whole work is expected to occupy about two months.

The ubiquitous loading of frozen meat, fresh fruit and vegetables is not universal.
Arabic, and ships with followers of Islam, require Halal meat...

Because of it's fortuitous location on the north-south & east-west trade routes, the port of Las Palmas has, since the 1400's, been a port for loading fresh water, fresh food, water, and latterly oil bunkers (fuel for ship's engine) and until the mid 20th century, coal bunkers for steam ships too.
Even the Italian explorer & navigator Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus), sponsored by the Spanish, called here on his exploratory voyages to Caribbean, Central America, and South America for the same reason(s).
So, the trend continues unabated today.
'Stores' (storing ship) is probably the only job on board a merchant ship where nearly all hands (except the Captain) are engaged in the loading and distribution of the victuals and deck & engine stores that are required to keep a ship at sea. The more the number of the crew, the increased quantity of food stores are required.
