a heel that won't get stuck in patterns of sewer-gate or uhm, holes in wooden deck-floors on ships maybe? xD

is that a bluberry-pie or rather a seamonster of loch ness/nessie out in the ocean?

After some time of trying mastodon, I quite like it here and will probably stay so it's maybe time for an introduction:
I'm a student in physical #oceanography in northern germany and mainly here for finding interesting research related content. Second interest is just general #opensource stuff & programming and third is politics.
For the research part I'm mostly a fan of #hydrothermalvents , #oceans , #climate , the #arctic , #antarctic , #glaciers , #seaice but also #ships and more.

Again!? Another ship hits a train bridge:

"Clidastes" — 2021

Clidastes, god of the sea and forked lightning, does not even look at the ships she sinks.

Two weathered Vietnamese junks sway gently in Halong Bay, echoing the maritime legacy of ancient seafaring traditions. Their wooden hulls carry stories of centuries past, intertwining with the mystical allure of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Inside Story of How the Navy Spent Billions on the “Little Crappy Ship”
==

Littoral combat #ships were supposed to launch the #Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their #weapons never worked.

Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

J. M. W. Turner made his second Continental tour in 1817 in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and passed through Dordrecht on his way home. This view, one of Turner’s masterpieces, was painted after his return to London in December 1817 and was exhibited at the Royal Academy in April 1818.

Silver Endeavour sitting just off the Girvan coast this afternoon.

This is one of my personal favorites. In Galveston, Tx looking out at the Gulf I turned around to see this tall ship sailing across the sand. Surreal, a mist rising off the wet sand and a Phantom Tall Ship sailing by on the other side of a sand dune. Something about light and mist gave the ship a ghostly appearance.

In the late 1800s, when steam ships were replacing sailing cargo ships, one of the last roles for the sailing ships was to carry coal around the world to supply ports where steamships wanted to go. A clean technology was essential to enable the growth of a dirty technology. And even today, fossil fuels aren’t magically just everywhere. A gigantic *** 40% *** of global shipping is just moving fossil fuels. So eliminating fossil fuel also drastically cuts global shipping emissions. #climate #ships

Cruise #ships leave a huge environmental mess. This outlines the impact of cruises from just *one* port in Seattle for 1 year.
- An estimated 700,000 passengers
- Carbon emissions, wastewater discharges, engine and propeller noise, trash
- While ports offer plug in for electricity, most ships don't use this. They opt to ships idle their diesel engines for nine to 11 hours while passengers visit land.
- Each passenger produces a daily average of 30 liters of sewage. For a ship carrying 3,600 people, that amounts to about 400 eight-person hot tubs worth of sewage and over 3,000 hot tubs worth of gray water each day. Ships dump untreated waste water somewhere on the route. The slide show details the impact on marine wildlife. Following rules is voluntary.
- Engine noise interferes with #whales’ ability to echolocate prey for hours each day.
- A large cruise ship creates 2,800 tonnes of CO2 during a 7-day trip. That’s the equivalent to 600 gasoline-powered cars driving for an entire year.
- You can imagine parts of the world where there are even fewer rules. #Cruise ships get to take part of the blame for destroying #coral reefs.
