In harbour: All persons should report on board as the vessel is about to proceed to sea.
At sea: It may be used by fishing vessels to mean: "My nets have come fast upon an obstruction."

The second name you mention appears to be Burt F. Raynes who went on to become president of the Material Handling division. This has been added to the tags. The name appears in a newspaper article and historic company data.

I see an article about wind power for Sark from 2024, and it says: The challenging thing is that the only way to get all the necessary supplies on Sark is through one of the two tunnels. So these tunnels define all the dimensions.

John Spooner said:
In a review of the Portland Gallery, London, the review remarks on a work by a Mr.Naish entitled "Creux Harbour" thus:
Mr. Naish has this year chosen another view in the Island of Sark, namely, " Le Creux Harbour" (463)-just such a tiny sheltered inlet as one might expect to find in so diminutive an island, and just such a grottoed nook as a mermaiden might haunt to wring out her tresses, were it not overhung by a lofty jetty, and profaned by Jersey boatmen.
(Daily News (London) - Monday 21 March 1859 -

John Spooner said:
The Guernsey Star - Tuesday 29 August 1876 says that the tunnel is obvious enough to the visitor arriving at Creux harbour, BUT
Not so was it some years back, when the tunnel connecting the harbour with the interior of the island ran at right angles to its present course, and when, says a guide-book, " so singularly concealed was the approach, that the Lords of the Admiralty, arriving at Sark on their tour of inspection, and intending to land, actually did land on the breakwater; but, there being no human being in sight and no one knowing the state of the case, their lordships gave up the task as hopeless, and returned on board in search of less difficult landing-places and better known if less picturesque spots."

Oh sure! But I looked at this and thought it looked like the work of a pencil more than the work of a camera. Either way its art .... but maybe they were cleverer with their photos than I think .
Thank you for sharing these images. I am still looking at the recent gifts.
