The crews of the boats

The crews of the boats are selected from different parts of the ship, with different ranks of men so that one part is not weakened more than another. Coxswains are assigned to the usual running boats like the barqe, long boat or jolly boat. Other boats like the launches, etc. are normaly placed under the command of the captains of the tops or forecastles, but could also stand under a coxwain if necessary. The boats are used either for normal transport duties, to abandon ship in the event of a disaster, to carry an armed crew for service at sea, or to land the crew for shore operations.

Two Boats with Crews, Study for The Royal William at Sea, by Samuel Scott (1701-1772) (x)

It was also important with manning that two crew lists were drawn up, because since the men were also appointed from the gun crews, in the event of an attack it had to be ensured that the gun crew remained together, so the second list was used, which did not include anyone from a gun crew.

The boats of men-of-war have generally two crews; the common boats’ crew, which are selected so as not to take away the most useful men from the ship; and the service, or fighting boats’ crew, which are selected from the very best men on board.

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

Fata Morgana

A superior mirage caused by warm air resting on patches of colder air in an atmospheric duct that acts like a refracting lens. Objects on the horizon could appear to be mirrored, distorted, or float. This form of mirage could be the reason for the Flying Dutchman Legend.

MS World Discoverer was a German expedition cruise ship. It hit an uncharted reef in the Sandfly Passage 29. April 2000. The hole was too big to get it repaired on the spot, so all the guests were taken ashore. A few hours later the captain ran the ship full speed on ground in Rodrick bay. (via sv_manjana)

It was ten o’clock at night when the boats quitted the ship; and, as it was possible that they might not return till late the next day, one day’s biscuit and rum were put on board each, that the crews might not suffer from exhaustion.

the latest joel episode has me feeling high. the intro where hes interrogating himself about liking etho and then saying that ETHOS obsessed with him. him mentioning the mezalea empire s1 thing (which im watching rn!!). him walking in on etho talking about him. etho telling him that he must like camels because of the long necks and joel getting embarrassed and saying "youre so obsessed with neck kisses its a little bit disgusting". him running at etho and making fucking KISSY NOISES he made KISSY NOISES at etho and etho shrieking and running away. i feel like that damn homophobic dog

and gem and tango are just WATCHING THAT. theyre just SITTING THERE and WATCHING. they had to remind joel that it was a different series and different time. i feel fucking sick to my stomach
