Here's a quick look at Captain Drew's World, newly compiled and edited by W. H. Bunting, my favorite living maritime historian:

I saw your mention of work in mountain rescue! When I was a volunteer crew member on tall ship Elissa at the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston, I was trained in rig rescue. Our job was to get into this harness and be hoisted aloft to help should a crew member be injured in the rigging (80-100 feet above the deck) and unable to climb down.
This me in about 1989 on a training exercise. Luckily I never was called on to do it for real. -
Tallship sinks off Oysterhaven near Kinsale, 10 years ago today. Youth sail training vessel, all saved.
Diesel tank accidentally filled with water, engine stalled, too close to shore to sail out of danger.
📷📽️Sinking, salvage & demolition:

You should give the soundtrack a good listen too - it's marvelous!
I never saw the movie, but learned the whole story from my parents who used to play that album all the time.

@clay @alex @calibri For sure! Absolutely! After 85,000 years of the #natural_selection process 🤘💀🤘
But I thought the #Klaus_Schwab diet making all the headlines as of late is based on #Soylent_Green? Y'know, something more natural and organically #cannibalistic in nature - since I'mma promised to be happy and own nothing.
Ah, what do I know though. I'm just an #unrepentant, #carnivorous, #capitalist_pig anyway lolz.
Now you went and did it Clay! I'm fricken' hungry! So I'mma #eviscerate one of my #Humboldt grass fed dead cows 🐮, and use my #morphologically_functional #incisors engineered to rend, rip, and tear the #bloody_flesh from that animal I #massacred so I can ingest it for all those #Omega_3's... 🐄
Unapologetically, and without giving anyone the benefit of a CW when I post it too, #Muahahaha - #Yummies! 🥩
Here's what part one looks like... And remember, #Parts_is_Parts!
So... I can haz #Cheezburgerz? 🍔

Too bad mastodon is incapable of rendering #Markdown or punishing posts with more than 500 characters.
That's perhaps a good reason to consider moving to #Fediverse platforms like #Akkama, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Pleroma, and #suffix, and #SoapBox.
