NTSB Issues Preliminary Report on Mexican Navy Tall Ship Collision with Brooklyn Bridge

Let me decipher your code here looking at the picture of this sailing vessel from her main deck :

So the docking pilot during undocking was somewhere on the right , presume the Admirante was close to him. In Spanish he was shouting to the fella ( officer presumably ) on the main deck below , who was shouting through the doors visible there to somebody inside , who cosequently was relying it to the place where commands were inputted.

Nice . I found it absolutely original , they embarked on such communication acrobatics. Thought the Admirante would shout back his Spanish orders to somebody behind him few meters away standing at the doors of what is described on the picture as “chart room” .Other pictures showed where the controls were. May be they have bypassed the chartroom because the controls there were inoperational??? Who knows?

The beam of the ship is 12 mtrs and the tiny distances there can be figured from my first picture. It is much less then the distance from the bridge wing of a small container vessel (say 2500 teu)

Well, I do not know Your ships but all mine had control box with all controls so I did not have to do much shouting . But still kept my VHF in hand.

When the box was not operational ( very rare instances) then the opened control box cover offered good wind protection. In very extreme case what may be happened once I had to do some shouting to only one relay.

The last picture shows one may run out of crew to convey/rely commands to where they can be executed according to NTSB description.

Local Warner Bros studio again:
Action:




I think in the last case Captain cancelled departure waiting for less wind.
