Subdeacon Joe Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 https://www.layersoflondon.org/map/records/canal-dockyard-graving-dock-early-20th-century The bowsprit of a ship in the Canal Dockyard graving docks looms above houses at Glen Terrace. A graving dock is a type of dry dock where ships can be repaired and maintained.
Pat Riot Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 Wow! How many OSHA rules would an inspector have a heart attack over these days after seeing that guy on the end of the bowsprit?
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 I don't think I've ever seen a steel hull sailing ship!

Iron hulled sailing ships started being built in the 1870s. Steel hulls became more common in the mid-1880s. The link I posted says that photo is from 1920, so they had a pretty good run.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 USCGC Eagle has a steel hull.
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 If he's looking for the head out there........he definitely made a wrong turn somewhere on the ship.
Dr. Zook Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 He was that guy who went back for a second helping of beans during mess call.
