I spent some time aboard ships in the U.S. Navy, but never had to do seaman's labor, as I was a hospital corpsman.
Nevertheless, it brings back pleasant memories.
You never forget.

Hi Pentax lovers
after the first landscape photos it's time to show you the crew of the MS "Silvretta" at work. In the next issue I will show you what happens in leisure time and at seamen's baptism. At the end of this series you will see some more landscapes from Panama, China, Australia and Suez/Cairo and photos of the vessel.

and read the explanations in the quick help too.
One of the hardest jobs for a newbie deckhand is "driving the Maserati" - grinding rust, it has to be done all the time before you apply "Menning" - the red color" and finally the painting. Imagine doing that for hours in the deserts of the Suez channel pr the tropics at nearly 50 grades on hot steel for $2 per hour! - Look at the picture to see the Maserati.
more soon... in selected Pentax theatres only Comments are very welcome
