I always ask the captain, "Let me know when propellers and thrusters are clear." When they're slow working the lines, and the wind is blowing you off, it can give for a few moments of tension. Anyway... start hoisting the alpha flag. I feel a BT inspection is required.

A 3 year old girl playing on a Greek beach was blown out to sea by a sudden gale force wind and current. Her parents and lifeguards couldn't catch up with her and called the coast guard, who in turn contacted a nearby ferry. The girl was saved and reunited with her parents.

A Russian man led police in Florida on a dramatic marine chase for over an hour, after stealing a luxury yacht worth $2.5m. The man boarded the 68-foot vessel on Monday afternoon, before attempting the daring escape from the marina. Officers from Martin County ground and marine units were forced to ram the yacht into nearby mangroves in order to ground it. The man refused to surrender when deputies boarded the vessel, and tear gas was used to force him to come out.

The Voith-Schneider Propeller is a vertical-axis marine drive whose spinning blades change pitch continuously, letting a ship generate instant thrust in any direction, like a helicopter rotor underwater. Super-maneuverable, perfect for tugs and ferries.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not the anchor that holds a ship in place, but it's the weight of the anchor chain. This is how such a chain is forged.

Operation of a Gate Rudder system. Unlike a traditional rudder arrangement, during transits the gate rudder foils can rotate their angular position, changing the hydrodynamic load on both the propeller and the foils. This is proven to have a positive effect on efficiency, particularly during varying sea conditions, weather or currents. For manoeuvring purposes, the function of the foils changes to a thrust-directing device.

Sometimes only a part of a ship is launched. Flotation tests are performed on individual pieces and then the vessel gets assembled. This on the Fincantieri shipyard in Castelllammare di Stabia. The Regio Cantiere di Castellammare di Stabia was founded in 1783.
