Sailing ship Chance, aground at Bluff, 1902

    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.

    That is The Gap at Watsons Bay, a favourite suicide spot for troubled souls. What looks like someone about to jump is a point of rock, I think.
