a google-fu/archival photo challenge

[Paul Pless]

i ran across this photo and thought her a very good looking model
can you guys (and spinner and katherine) find me photos of actual ships or boats configured thusly:
auxilary motor sailing vessels with a forward pilothouse, primarily intended for work, not yachts
blue dog and durnik, you are welcome to show off your duckduckgo-fu if you'd rather

That forward pilot house will be a real rarity. Communicating with the engineer would be so hard to do.

I know I'm going rogue here but looking for the answer to "what is a 'mackerel schooner'?" (who knew there are so many shades of fishing boats?) led me to this sweet model from https://www.naturecoast.com/products...rum-135-scale/

Nature Coast has a bunch of wood model kits that looked pretty nice, at least in the pictures.

..and durnik, you are welcome to show off your duckduckgo-fu

while I did test out said, I found DDG was essentially Bing.. and I won't use Bing. (I had to clean that language up for.. 0-: ). I also found this -

"However, while performing a security audit of the DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser, security researcher Zach Edwards discovered that while the browser blocks Google and Facebook trackers, it allowed Microsoft trackers to continue running."

you guys (and spinner and katherine)

@Bernadette to the white courtesy phone please!

as to your request, waiting on others (as you are (-: ), I am.

eta: 'ooo, nice one Steve'.

S.S. Pacific



The Sinking. In November of 1875, the 223-foot steamer S.S. Pacific departed Esquimalt Harbour from Greater Victoria British Columbia in poor weather with 52 crew (led by Captain Howell), 35 passengers from Puget Sound ports on board, and another 132 passengers with tickets embarked at Victoria, and an unknown number of persons that rushed aboard without tickets; children sailed for free so were not among those counted. Passengers included prominent Victorians, wealthy businessmen, gold miners, and 41 unidentified Chinese.

The ship’s cargo included 300 bales of hops, 2,000 sacks of oats, 250 hides, 11 casks of furs, 31 barrels of cranberries, 2 cases of opium, six horses and 2 buggies, 280 tons of coal from Puget Sound, 30 tons of miscellaneous goods, and $79,220 in gold worth $10 million today.

I bet those sails didn't stay white very long.

I was fortunate to be able to live nearby and frequently observe this collection while Howard was still curator, since then I've never seen any thing even close.

Here was one of my young and naive pipe dream exercises in forward pilothouse design.

Nope. Kind of like sketching hot cars on the back of your Pee Chee notebook in school. It was a one time thing.

USS Warren J. Courtney (SP-375), 1917-1919.
Also called Courtney.
Originally the civilian fishing vessel Warren J. Courtney (1912)

Warren J. Courtney, a 276 gross ton "Menhaden Fisherman" type fishing vessel, was built in 1912 at Wilmington, Delaware. Acquired by the Navy in late May 1917, she was placed in commission in August of that year as USS Warren J. Courtney (SP-375). Her name had already been officially shortened to Courtney by Navy General Order # 314, but the longer original name also continued to be used.
Warren J. Courtney soon crossed the Atlantic to Brest, France, where she was initially as a patrol and escort vessel and as a minesweeper. For the remainder of World War I, and into 1919, she operated along the Brittany coast. USS Warren J. Courtney foundered there on 27 April 1919.
