Tradition and modernity

Tradition is it still against modernity? (1 February 2009) Both oppose often, in fact even more than too often a "common place". But this is particularly true for the evolution of the "look" of the vessel over time, even if they sometimes find themselves too. The ships look like other industrial creations constantly evolving, as is well known. See for yourself:

no introduction this look became legendary, even for those who do not know
Liberty-ships, "emblematic of the 1940s and 50s.

cargo ships have long kept the style, the "castle" above the machinery was in the middle of the length of the hull. The ship Switzerland " M / S Patricia S " was a perfect example of the style "60s". On the other hand it is not because the transport of containers was not intended by its architects, as they were unwelcome on board.

The second part of the twentieth century was like "a while back ," appeared in the late fifties. Here the second " M / S Saint Louis " of the navigation Denis Brothers Co. during the 1970s, the former Thai Hope was built in Japan in 1957. The St. Louis was also my first ship boarding.

Emblematic of the fourth period of the twentieth century, large Ro-Ro of the West Coast of Africa, big ass and big rear ramp. The "just back " seemed to prevail forever. A pub Scadoa (Common Service Serving West Africa) showed the ass of the St. Roch on a large poster, rear door open and ramp placed on the platform with a clever photomontage. The slogan was simple, a highway seemed to extend his garage to the big bridge Quai ...

"Scadoa, Highway Africa!"

The MSC Daniela , commissioned in late 2008, proved that the style
"middle castle" is back. It was totally unexpected but it is never
one of the first of its kind and can carry 14,000 TEUs!.

As humor should never lose his rights, I do know here what follows. Here is a great and long tradition of examining the Merchant: From time
former Marine, historic and heroic it is extremely rare, regardless of the nationality of the person, a ship spends Line Date Change ( the 180 ° longitude of East and West at a time) one day holiday, in one way or another.

indeed pass the line example on a Sunday in a sense, it means living two "Sundays" . P Asser in the other direction by cons is to see what Sunday disappear in the real Bermuda Triangle, ie jump from Saturday to Monday! Being only of the cosmography deprived of overtime pay or compensation for the holiday experience on board, then worked on small conflict of interest is visible on the horizon! On the other hand, a company can not view with favor two days "over-paid" for real one day. A ship goes first at sea, so to make money ...

About longitude, I sailed with timers who often had "the look" but they were generally quartz anyway!
We had to hold the book of "walking chrono " listening the "time top " Sainte-Assise, Fort Collins or even that of France Inter 164 Khz, once a day. It was also the time of the navigation system by satellite "Transit " Lost in 2009, "officiated" long before the GPS, with 8 satellites to obtain an exact point at 500 m almost all 3-7 hours. When the receiver "Transit" heard the beep of three satellites in its "horizon", he could then calculate and sounded a loud "beep"! One of us said: "He laid ! " Between two "bridge" connected to the loch and the gyro, the receiver gave us " esteem phi & G".

"skewer officers to oil"

one of Esso Normandie (here I show the Esso Languedoc) did not display, but then a printer that was ringing his bell. Receiver " Satnav " was a high "Norman cabinet" full of cards, placed against the rear bulkhead on the bridge near the "MTR" radar and the shelf of the coffee maker.
At the end of 1990 the GPS system was in full swing test, with only 7 out of 21 planned satellites . It was often the subject of AVURNAV for a "small elite", such as cable ships . We had a GPS receiver that surprised us when the service was available. Diââble! The point maintained and displayed " phi & G " second by second with amazing accuracy and time TU to boot!
- " There will need to navigate know with this stuff ... "


The cable ship Raymond Croze in 1989. Painting stack current, no symbol "France Telecom "....

This was the first comment of one of the "old crocodile " edge , discovering "the beast" I had to install. He did not say so. GPS is now absolutely everywhere even in your car, if one day curse the system is "out", perhaps it will be funny sometimes, but certainly not for everyone ...

So calendars commercial crossings of commercial vessels are carefully designed if the vessel passes this line. The commanders of the vessels concerned thus (unofficially) "requested" to Sort this out to avoid this source of litigation time. Unless, of course, can make a U-turn at the earliest ...
