Here is a link to a video of a ship my husband launched at a company in Wisconsin, where his title was Launch Master. http://youtu.be/jMusbHeQlKs He launched 56 ships with this side launch system that he designed before he left the company, and not one of the them ever sank! ;-) Sorry honey, I just had to give you a poke.
This past week, acting as the Dock Master for a different shipbuilding company in Alabama, he launched a ship, but in a very different way. Instead of sliding it into the water sideways, they move the ship on to a barge, float it down the bay, then off load it on to a dry dock, that then lowers the ship into the water. While the process is much less exciting, the end result is pretty impressive.
In fact, it is so impressive, that Cars 2, featured it in the movie, and manufactured a toy called "Tony the Tri -Hull" !
I am very proud of my Dock Master, and I am impressed everyday, by how intelligent he is, and the amazing career he has!
Great writing Lynn! Very interesting... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen! I appreciate your comment.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Jim, the DockMaster. I knew he was destined for greatness when we presided over the Latin banquet many years ago as emperor and empress:)

ReplyDeleteVery impressive!He has come a long way from the hydroplane he built as a teenager (which was also pretty cool)
ReplyDeleteHolistic health care is the new way of taking care of you when you need help most. It is a natural way to cure and take care of you without furthering problems or creating new ones with harmful chemicals and unnecessary procedures. sonic diabetic menu
ReplyDeletePharmaceutical companies were also notable by absence from blogs, presumably due to legal and regulatory issues. As previously noted, companies marketing pharmaceutical products are going to automatically need to provide for pharmacovigilance services somewhere within their budgets to ensure they are always compliant with a veritable raft of legislation.
