A bill of lading is issued by the Master of a merchant ship to signify the true description of the cargo loaded. An ex-seafarer, who left sailing in 2010 and is currenly with the marnie insurance business in Singapore. Previous pictures on this blog. Get fat out of here.

Welcome aboard! Wednesday, September 12, 2012. This post originally ran as a Monday Morning Mariner post on September 12, 2011. On September 11, 2001, I was captain of the small cruise ship Spirit of Alaska.

Uncovering what makes just another ship something special. Piper Inness at the Port of Long Beach.

CLIMBING THE HAWESPIPE ONE HAND AT A TIME! Sorry for the lack of recent updates. The last update was a fishing update from our trip to the equator and was made while we were in San Diego. Until then, be good! .

Буду мало-помалу добавлять суда ссылки на различные ресурсы про кораблеги-пароходики. Вчера наш супер-лайнер и недопароход наконец-то покинул завод и был утащен буксирами на точку установки. Хранилище состоит из 8 чанов емкостью в 3 тыс. тонн каждый, представляя собой фактически плавучий парк чанов.

Spotted at Westport Boat Basin on Grays Harbor. It seems that in at least 9 out of 10 cases, a small, wooden troller moored in a Northwest fishing port has only that story to tell, being a small wooden troller. Sure a few may have emigrated from Canada, and a few others are rebuilt from seiners or gillnetters, but overall the histories are fairly similar. Little did I know that there was more to her story to be told, the discovery of which I owe to the West Coast Fishermen.
