Nathan G comes toward the Narrows with
a max loaded scow.
B. Franklin Reinauer heads into the Kills
Hunting Creek heads west and
Jacksonville, east. By the way, what is that blue flag halfway up the mast above?
N is for Nicholas Vinik coming by to
to assist Genesis Victory with GM 6506 out of IMTT.
And we’ll hold it up here.
Remember my virtual tour. It’s 45-50 minutes, no advertisements, and you get to ask questions.
You’ll travel through time and space Tuesday, May 26, and if you can’t listen in then, it’ll be archives so you can listen whenever you feel like. Book it, please. It’ll answer every question except . . . where Sal was born.

Wil, Vane in 2016 introduced new names for each fleet based on a nautical signal flag theme. Its is called Fleet flag designations. But looking at the blue flag on the Huntington, it looks like it has letters written on them…so not a signal flag. Maybe something honoring the fallen, seeing its at half mast. Maybe Paul B will see this post, he might know.

Thx, HT. It looked vaguely like “don’t give up the ship” so I thought maybe the captain was a history buff.

Now that I looked at it more closely, I think you are right. Good saying right around now. Stay Safe

“Don’t give up the ship” stems from a public relations coup that smoothed over a battle loss? So says Halsted. https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/05/18/the-real-shameful-story-behind-don-give-ship/AVYGogGB9gtXrydeyRx1BP/story.html
