Brixham was the port of choice, announcing their arrival by shouting very loudly. It was practice for a deckhand to remove the top of the starboard door & put it in the crows nest before going beneath to call at the top of his voice at the harbourmaster. Hence the phrase "jamb on top, scream below"

The best part is, the rest of the rubble was used by the harbourmaster (it was shot in one of the large sheds on the waterfront) to build an actual dam on his property further up north.

Social media reliably(?) informs me that it's been seven years since I first (very loosely) started using the name Harbourmaster Productions for my work.
Did I expect to be self-employed and successfully running my own studio seven years later? No, I did not! But here I am.

That got me thinking of the Tasman Bridge clearance. The beam of the ferry is 32m, the maximum permitted ships beam to transit the bridge is 32.31m without special permission from the Harbourmaster.

![In October 2024, the Swiss newspaper Die Weltwoche wrote an article based on an interview given to Danish Politiken by the Christianse port harbourmaster on the two-year-day of the Nord Stream pipelines sabotage. While the Danish harbourmaster dismissed the many sabotage accusations as conspiracy theories, [148] [*beginning of highlighted text by bluesky poster] the Swiss newspaper quoted him that he had sailed out to a fleet of US Navy ships sighted with inactive transponders near the position of the sabotage a few days before the sabotage happened and that the US fleet had requested him to turn around [end of highlighted text]. The Swiss newspaper went on to note that the USS Kearsarge three months earlier had participated in BALTOPS 2022 that exercised unmanned underwater vehicles suitable for demining and other underwater operations, and that as such these vessels could transport explosive charges suitable for blowing the Nord Stream pipelines. The Swiss newspaper claimed this new information calls into question the assumption that a Ukrainian group was responsible for the sabotage and that investigations are continuing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mx4nzus45ho7dciimoyozkjp/bafkreicyv3avoitjkkbvif6u4uza7y4nc6qvwmgz76itihj3fbrdlxk73a@jpeg)
