Fisherman’s Friends Net Catchy Album Deal

They have recently signed an album [...]

The norovirus has hit the Celebrity Mercury with a vengeance. The Mercury returned to its home port of Charleston today, a day early, and the next cruise will be delayed by two days for an extensive top-to-bottom cleaning and sanitizing of the ship. This will be the third time in three cruises that the ship has been taken out of service [...]

Storm-sunken “treasure ship” found in Ukraine ?
A sunken British frigate rumored to be carrying gold to pay the troops? Sounds a lot like the HMS Hussar which sunk in New York in 1780. This more recent discovery is the British storeship Prince, which sank in the Black Sea in a heavy storm in 1854 during the Crimean War. Like the Hussar, the rumors of [...]

Couture superyacht brings high fashion to the high seas
I will admit to being easily amused, but I found this to be very funny. For those with more money than sense, here is a “couture superyacht” designed by a fashion designer. I would worry that it might be more fashionable than seaworthy but it does look rather conventional overall. (As a naval architect, I promise [...]
Update: HMS Superb – Royal Navy Court Martial
Last January we posted about the the HMS Superb, a British nuclear submarine, which in 2008 crashed into a massive stone pinnacle under the Red Sea. (See Submarines Navigating Badly.) Now the commander and two other officers have been severely reprimanded by a Royal Navy court martial. Apparently all concerned just misread the chart.
Commander [...]

Spotz, 22, is now the youngest person to cross an ocean in a rowboat, and the first American to row solo [...]

The 58 year old, SS United States, built at Newport News, may be at risk of being scrapped but it now appears that the MV Doulos, the world’s oldest ocean-going passenger vessel, may not be making a trip to the breakers yard any time soon. Her days as a passenger vessel are over but she [...]
Bad News and Slightly Less Bad News about Somali Piracy
The monsoons have ended which means that it is pirate season again off the coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden. The bad news is that it is now estimated that piracy off Somalia is costing the international shipping industry at least $100 million a year. The only slightly less bad news is [...]

Still Fighting over the Battleship Graf Spee
There is an interesting ongoing conflict over the salvaging of the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee which was scuttled in the River Plate in 1939. A Uruguayan businessman has been salving parts of the Graf Spee for the last ten years but has been blocked from displaying or selling part of the ship by political [...]
USS Dewey and the Olympia
I am not sure if it is irony or merely a confirmation that Faulkner was right – the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past. Not long after the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia announced that it didn’t have the money to care for the cruiser Olympia, (or even the money to dredge the channel to tow her away,) the US [...]
