Heading away from the dark fantasy, Captain Marilyn, leader of a staunch no nonsense merchant marine vessel for hire, will lead us to the maritime section of the library.

A short family history segue…My great grandfather was deported from Ireland around his 14^th birthday. In Australia, his 6’ 7” frame earned him work in various merchant marine boiler rooms for two years.  He walked off a ship in Chicago, eventually married and became a Chicago police officer.  My grandfather picked up his love of the sea and joined the USN (and eventually the CPD).  My father waited until he was 16 to join the USN during WWII, was discharged at the end of the war and he too joined the CPD. Bypassing all that history, I went to college for computer science. In an amusing ironic turn to some members of my family, I went to work for NAVAIR on various military bases on and off for 6 years. So, you could say maritime ran in my family for a while. 

Here we have a captain and members of his crew.  These figures, as well as Marilyn above, were sculpted by Bob Murch of Pulp Figures.

From Millsy: That's a fascinating bit of family history Tom and yet more proof (as if that was needed) that Australia just makes people and things better :-P. Lovely brushwork all around mate and well worth the 70 points added to your tally!
