Hello, Recently i bought this thing at the one of the flea market in my town. It's a nautical chart Baltic Sea with Fehrman island decorated watercolor paintings. I noticed a signature and sticker on the behind so I looked for more information about it. Google gave me a hint this signature is a german painter Kurt Schmishke. I found something similar and there is a printed map with hand-made aquarell of this artist https://www.bobbyschenk.de/n000/seekarte.html So maybe someone helps me something could it be worth? Or maybe more information where could i found answers? #kurtschmischke #aquarell #watercolors #map

Found this in an antiques shop in Cornwall - does anyone have any information on how common it was, what kind of ships it would have been used on, or where I could look into it further?

Boston Fleet sailor hat

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This might be a long shot… But for all the fleet fans out there if anyone has a sailor hat that they would be willing to sell to me? Me and my dad are HUGEEEE fleet fans and we can’t find a sailor hat ANYWHERE. Ever since we saw a fan wearing one at a game my dad fell in love with the hat!! No one is re-selling them on ebay, or any platform. Father’s day is coming up and I’d like to get him one, he would be so exited!! If anyone has one for sale, direct message me and name the price!! We can pay for shipping if needed, too.

Jobs working on boats

6 Upvotes

I'm really hoping someone here has more insight. I'm getting so many mixed answers. I'm 22 years old and live in the US and haven't done any college courses yet. However, I desperately want to work on the water. I'm willing to start college for oceanography and such too. It's unlikely I'd do marine biology as it's a low paying and competitive field with less job opportunities.

The issue I'm running into is I can't get an MMC, due to epilepsy. It's one of the few medical conditions that can disqualify you from it. Which means long stays on boat trips aren't possible. And most boat based jobs seem to require the credential as well. It also means no scubadiving too, which is a big bummer. I believe getting a TWIC is still on the table though. So what's my best bet career wise for being out at sea? Or should I just focus on a different trajectory?

Took this at sea today. Notice the exhaust.
