    Fascinating picture. Anyone know what the wind turbine was for - bilge pump, or below decks ventilation?
  • Terrific Lake said:
    great shot
  • Translated Poorly said:
    The wind turbine is most likely for a electric generator, atleast in some ships of the same age.
  • John Hughes said:
    Yes, electric generator I think it must be. I was recently reading how Nansen had one installed aboard Fram on his drift across the north polar ice-cap in the 1890s.
  • Copper Kettle said:
    Interesting. Maybe as oil becomes scarce there again will be ships propelled by sail, with wind and solar generators to power the automatic rigging systems, navigation, etc.

    Literally a "floating" dock! I had never seen a photograph of this before, most impressive piece of engineering, it would be considered quite the novelty today!

    I have happy time of when I learnt Chinese in language school shanghai( www.mandarininn.cn/ ), I still remember my teacher, Mr. Yang, she told me that the hurricane seeks the shortest road by the noroad, and suddenly ends its search in the Nowhere.

    Wow. What a phenomenal photograph.
  • Lucy said:
    wonderful
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Often those young lads fell from the yards, either into the sea or onto the deck. They hoped for the latter as that way death would be more immediate. If they fell into the sea there was zero chance of rescue. The ship sailed on.
  • Terrific Lake said:
    best shot
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Imagine that ship pitching and yawing . . . . they'd experience being lifted and dropped dozens of feet: it would be hard to stay on! A very good account of what that life was like is written in autobiographical form by Eric Newby in "The Last Grain Race."
