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

Good day again.

Looks one does not need to make the trips to downtown and examine the museum ship and spend money for social lubricant to make the old dogs gang happy.

What is internet for ?? :wink:

Have found on utube one clip showing the commander shouting orders into the mike and then it hit me we got a powerful public address system that would wake up even the paraohs mummy. And loudspeakers were everywhere so we did not learn the telephone game.

And there was no 2nd open conning deck in use above the enclosed bridge house.
All navigation and docking and undockig was done from the open conning bridge in front of the enclosed bridge house.
The main steering wheel and emcy on the poop deck has been doubled because there was no electromechanical /hydraulic power steering so sometimes 4 people or more had to steer.

Here are two links :

  1. Walk around 360 view of SS Dar Pomorza
  1. General link to the National Museum

Rem : I do not know why but both links are working well only on my Firefox browser and do not work on Chrome and Edge.

Ad.1 It was a bit tricky at first but once one get used to it the walk around is easy. Best place your mouse pointer on the white circle and once anchored there place your poniter anywhere and with left click pressed turn around.

Got one screen shot showing the platform on stb side where the Pilot or Commaner was standing during docking /undocking.

The layout of main deck towards the stern and quarter deck is very similar to Catehamoc.

Walking around enclosed bridge house You will see why i rejected version ORANGE in my post above.

Because of visibility issues on old DAR , the design of new DAR which replaced the old one in 1982 was much different as can be found on the web.


Cheers
