Docked in Philly, but due to leave Monday the 17th, February, (today if you're reading this today) towed to the gulf for sinking as an artificial reef. This is the third time such a venture has been scheduled for it. It has been unfortunate, seeing it just sitting there and rotting. I wish this majestic ship well.
As do I, Miz K. Before the advent of jets, Ocean-goers like the Uniited States were cheap, or expensive if desired, and pretty fast. But "all good things", as they say. If she has to go, I suppose a new life as an environment is not the worst thing. Ive only been on a few of these Ships....This one is a vague memory, except for my Grandmother leaving. I have a SHARP memory of her standing at the rail with water behind her, just before they cleared for departure.

The Maasdam, also gone, and a French Liner were the other civilians....But the Carrier USS Forrestal, CVA-59, was another.
 
Yes, Virginia....a Honda
( sometimes known as Hondo) IS a knot....Long before it was a car....It's designed to allow a running line to run.....and then shake loose. With the exception of one, the Allomar Knot, all knots were originally sailors' knots. The Allomar is the only one developed by horsemen. Its not easy to tie. It looks more like a Shibari tie. I have a tied one I did as practice....if anyone is interested Ill take a pic and post it.
