S THE MARITIME MUSEUM OF SAN DIEGO NEWSLETTER
“Full and By” is a nautical term describing a sailing vessel when all sails are drawing full and the course steered is as close to the eye of the wind as possible. At the Maritime Museum of San Diego it also describes the full efforts of our staff, crew, and volunteers.

his issue of Full & By is conspicuous for its coverage of vessel maintenance and restoration projects now under way, a reminder if we ever needed one, that the Maritime Museum is in many ways more like a zoo (or even a Safari Park) than it is like most museums. Museums are usually filled with artifacts or preserved specimens, whereas ours is more like a collection of living things which must be cared for as such if they are to go on as operational vessels. Even the ships we don’t operate, such as Berkeley and the submarines, are still afloat in their original element and still subject to the cumulative effects of water, weather, and time. To give some sense of the kind of large scale undertakings that volunteers, donors, and staff have made possible over the last several years please note: Pilot was completely rebuilt during the late 1990’s, then we rebuilt her stern, and now we are almost finished repowering the vessel. Medea was completely sheathed below the waterline in the 1980’s with fiberglass and foam, her steam windless rebuilt and bridge deck replaced ten years later, and a thorough rehabilitation of her interior structure has been ongoing for many months. Most recently this has involved restoration of hull plating and framing beneath the fantail and the replacement of the fantail deck. Star of India’s hull was protected with a composite ceramic and epoxy coating in her 2009 dry docking. Most recently, we have replaced her weather decks, rehabbed the interior of the ‘tween decks, rebuilt the foretop mast and are now nearly done restoring the fore-rig. She is scheduled for another dry docking in 2019. Berkeley’s hull was sheathed internally with fiberglass and foam in the 1980’s and then the exterior plating protected by ceramic and epoxy in 2003 along with replacement of several sponson braces, replacement of plating in the engine room and other projects. Presently, her entire south side is being restored. When we acquired Californian, we rebuilt her interior, replaced some structural timbers, rewired, replumbed, and rerigged the ship along with the installation of new navigational equipment. Since then, the ship has been refastened, repowered, and her decks replaced.

PCF 816 has been restored to her Vietnam-period appearance, certified to carry passengers, and both of her engines completely rebuilt. Surprise has undergone replacement of significant amounts of framing (approximately half of what ultimately needs to be done), a lot of replacement planking, refastening, repair and replacement of internal tankage and machinery, and now about one-third of her deck has been replaced as well as a similar proportion of her rig, the remainder pending completion of the Berkeley project. We have completely rebuilt PC 8 Wings, the Monterey fishing boats La Dianna and Mary Ann, and now are part way through completely rebuilding Butcher Boy. USS Dolphin AGSS 555 came to us in good condition and we have endeavored to keep her so through a variety of small projects and upgrades. Soviet naval Foxtrot class submarine B-39 did not arrive to us in such good shape and keeping her open in the years since has been a struggle. We are presently about to install a new shell cover in way of her missing plating in the stern, have filled her ballast tanks with foam, and are exploring a new system for “wrapping� the hull of vessels that seems to offer similar advantages to the epoxy/ceramic coatings applied to Berkeley and Star of India with the added benefit of some watertight and structural attributes. And oh yes, while we were doing much of this we researched, designed, built, and learned to operate a full-size sixteenth-century galleon. This major undertaking was not done only for its own sake, but because that project ultimately contributed both directly and indirectly to many of the other ship projects just listed. Another way we are more like a zoo than a traditional museum... all of us might have our favorite animals, but it’s the zoo itself and all of the animals that makes it possible to care for any of them as living things.

he scaffolding went up in February and the maintenance crew is hard at work restoring our grand steam ferry. The first sections of siding have been removed to reveal the vertical beams, framing and window sashes. The team has begun removing sections of dry rot and either replacing or scarfing in solid new wood. They chuckled to find signatures of the crew who did some work on her back in 1997 scrawled on the interior frames, heartwarming evidence of the investment and pride crews past and present take in preserving these ships!
Once the interior bracing and frames have integrity, new siding will be hung. In the meantime, we will keep you up to date on the work in honor of the investment you have made and invite you to come in and see the progress for yourself.

Restoration Update: HMS Surprise
Article by Director of Development Kelli Lewis as reported by Director of Cleaning Services Karen Kuzmiak
H
MS Surprise has been the focus of a great team of staff and volunteers who have been working diligently for the last year to maintain and restore her. From top to bottom and from bow to stern she has been attended to with loving care. Below decks the important but unpleasant job of replacing the black-water tanks was of vital importance as the old tanks had been a source of constant trouble, despite heroic efforts by Randy Ashman to keep them functional. Peter Wilson spent weeks cutting up the old tanks so that they could be removed. David Swanson then put in a new deck and Doc Anes painted the hold. Finally, a newly made fiberglass tank was installed. Prior to going in the yard in July 2016, the mizzen yards were lowered including the cross jacks. All blocks

Volunteers Rich Thorpe and Kristie Markwell surveyed and repaired every block on the mizzen and even some from the fore, main, and other miscellaneous areas of the ship, a very detailed and extensive job. All the serviced blocks were then freshly painted to match the orangeyellow color found around the rest of the ship. Once painted, every strop or grommet was removed and replaced with brand new line. In total the crew serviced, stropped, spliced, seized and tarred 77 blocks from the mizzen, 4 blocks from the fore, 12 blocks from the main, and 9 other miscellaneous blocks. The crew’s next efforts will be replacing the running rigging with new line. Volunteer Rich Thorpe hard at work restoring blocks. Photo: Maggie Walton 44

In addition to the rigging, there has been a tremendous effort over the last year to replace the
Finally, all of the above were covered with a fresh coat of paint. This complemented the job the paint staff at the boatyard had done, painting the outboard in blue, orange, red and gold. Where applicable, varnished areas were sanded down to bare wood and a clear coat applied to the fife rail, the quarter deck pin rails, the quarter deck railing top, and the detailed spokes of the helm. John Kerley headed replacement of stays throughout the rig aloft. From the bowsprit, the foretop to topgallant, stays were wire brushed, dura-lubed, tarred, served, and tarred again, and then put back together and tensioned. The same was done to the mizzen forestays and the back stays, including the top and crojack footropes.

In 2018 we will be working on completing the rest of the deck and down rigging the main mast.
Thank you to all the people who have supported this work with their time, money and talent. Your efforts are making all the difference in preserving this beautiful vessel and preparing her to sail the Surprise decks, which were leaking copiously last Pacific seas again and to host our guests proudly. winter. Demolition began in June 2017. The poop deck was completely ripped out and replaced with new Douglas fir planks atop layers of plywood and fiberglass, a technique successfully used to refurbish Star of India decks, designed to save lower decks from unwanted fresh water and rot. Along with this waterproofing process, Surprise maintenance crew beautified all the details along the way. • Beams had termites exterminated and were filled where needed • Bulwarks were replaced • Kevel cleats, Samson posts, quarter deck railing and cap rails sanded • Mizzen masts, the top and lower, were sanded and treated • Hatch was rebuilt and cover refurbished • All yards, the boom and the gaff were sanded bare, inspected and scarfed where needed • Below decks the great cabin was sanded and retouched

San Salvador Travels the World!? Article by Education Coordinator Peter DiSimone
W
ith the help of an iPhone, iPad and a software platform that allows students to interface, it is possible to live broadcast a lesson with two-way video/audio communication. MMSD has partnered with California State and National Parks to present students with virtual tours of San Salvador. In this experience, the instructor leading the lesson takes on the role of a common 16th century sailor. Clad in period-accurate attire, they tour the students around the vessel and answer questions the students pose about what life was like aboard a ship in 1542. While dockside at the Museum, San Salvador has virtually crossed the Pacific and the Atlantic, bringing Cabrillo’s story to students as far as Hawaii, Bosnia, New York, Florida and even landlocked states such as Indiana! Steve Auslander’s 5th grade class at Allisonville Elementary in Indianapolis has recently completed a Living Museum project where students dressed as historic explorers to interpret and teach their classmates of that explorer’s significance in history. During our virtual session, three students came to class in their costumes as Erik the Red, Juan Ponce de Leon and Henry Hudson. As the students interacted with me, costumed as one of Cabrillo’s crew, the program became not just a lesson, but an enthusiastic exchange between modern students representing and identifying with these explorers of the past. Sailing ships of the 16th century like San Salvador were fantastic pieces of technology which aided humanity to better understand the world around them by taking them to previously uncharted waters. Today we are able to utilize our contemporary digital technology to enrich and virtually expand the horizons of students anywhere. When students first lay eyes on San Salvador they inevitably express excitement and awe. For many who might never set foot aboard a ship rolling on the sea; a virtual tour is one step closer.

Butcher Boy Update Spring 2018
T
hanks to your support, hands on work on Butcher Boy’s hull has commenced now that the lofting is completed. Initially we could see that the contour of the hull planking was off by comparing the patterns. After a thorough inspection, the crew has found that the keel is in good shape and, after taking the deck house off, it was determined that the deck was as well. Below decks, we found several frames were broken and the stern post would have to be rebuilt. To begin this process, every other plank was carefully removed, allowing us to clamp new frames to the existing planks.

Restoration aboard Medea
T
hough our lovely steam yacht Medea has experienced more adventures at sea than most, time has not passed without taking a toll. However, thanks to the significant support of Mary Allen, the Daphne Seybolt Culpeper Memorial Foundation, and Irene Batch over the course of 2017, the steam yacht has been receiving extensive renovation. Her “spa” treatment has included the chipping away of rust from the inside of her hull, sprucing up of her varnish and brightwork, and internally, the carpets that were donated to the Museum from the Volunteer John Serbian working on repairing Medea’s Hotel Del Coronado, have been fantail deck.

There remains a fair amount of work to be completed, but with contributions from the community as well as with the dedication of our staff and volunteers, she is beginning to shine once more!

Making a Difference in Morro Bay Article by Vice President Susan Sirota
D
uring our maiden voyage of the Pacific Heritage Tour, San Salvador made port visits to several California Coastal communities: Oxnard / Ventura hosted by Channel Islands Maritime Museum Association; Monterey hosted by California State Historic Park at Fisherman’s Wharf; and Morro Bay hosted by the Central Coast Maritime Museum Association. These trips took months of planning and required a great deal of trust and goodwill to make them reality. While San Salvador’s visit to each of these ports was more successful than imagined with the cooperation and support from each of our partners, their volunteers, and community agencies, the trip was likewise very economically successful for everyone. In particular, the Central Coast Maritime Museum Association held a “$1,542” fundraising event on board San Salvador and in addition to their share of the public tours and their dockside merchandising, the organization was advanced to its next phase of its development: the creation of a maritime museum. We are happy to report to our membership that San Salvador’s visit to Morro Bay resulted in the groundbreaking of their very own Morro Bay Maritime Museum. The following comes from their museum newsletter: “If you have been on the Morro Bay waterfront lately you’ve probably noticed the new construction next to the DSRV submarine, at 1210 Embacadero. This building represents the first installment of the Morro Bay Maritime Museum and Park. After nearly 25 years of planning and discussing the project the dream is becoming a reality”, said Association President and project manager Larry Newland.

“We are thrilled with the recent progress on the museum, and construction will continue into 2018. Initial construction funds were generated from a partnership with the Maritime Museum of San Diego and the October 2016 San Salvador visit.” Thank you to our membership for all the support you have given our Museum throughout the San Salvador Project. It’s great to know that San Salvador is helping other maritime museums and communities throughout the region.

The Making of a Sailor: An Interview with a Modern Mariner Article by Director of Education Jacob Keeton
K
atherine Pogue had no idea that a 5th grade field trip would be the start of a career, but it was. That first night aboard Star of India during a Living History education program called “Voyage of Hope” was just the beginning. Her love of seamanship grew more defined and real when she joined the Maritime Museum’s volunteer sail crew as a teenager. Today she works as a mate on one of the Scripps Oceanographic research vessels and attributes her success to the experience, influences and contacts gained at the Museum. We recently had a conversation with Katherine to learn a bit more about her journey from student to mate.

What was it that made you want to work as crew as a teen? I liked the field trip to the Star when I was a student at Hickman Elementary. I then went through a bit of a pirate phase as a teenager. (I’ve now learned the error of my ways!) At sixteen, I loved Pirates of the Caribbean so when I got a chance to spend the night on Star of India again on a public Living History program, I leapt at it. ( See the Family Overnight details at sdmaritime.org for more info.) When we were told at the end of the program that the Museum welcomed volunteers to crew, I knew that that was what I wanted to do. Is there anything you learned as a kid that still resonates with you today as a mariner? The simple understanding of a command structure is relevant, both as a student on a (living history) program and as a professional mariner. And the fundamental skill of teamwork is crucial no matter what industry you work in. There’s nothing like hauling up a sail to demonstrate how many hands literally make light work.
12 12 sdmaritime.org
Was there a moment or a voyage that stands out? A defining moment for my career is probably when I called sail on Californian for the first time. It was during a battle sail in Dana Point. I was probably in college at the time, and I didn’t want to do it initially. But Paul Dempster encouraged me (i.e. didn’t give me a choice), and if it weren’t for that day I probably never would have taken the initiative to give commands or even pursue any mariners licensing The fact that I was pushed outside of my comfort zone to take a leadership position made me realize that that was a possibility. It didn’t necessarily spur me to get my license more than made me see that I could be in a position of authority. And that, in turn, led me to getting my license. What do you do today? Now I’m working on the research vessel Robert Gordon Sproul out of Scripps Institute of Oceanography with fellow Maritime Museum alums Chris Welton and Paul Dempster. I’m a mate on board and I get a lot of opportunities for ship Katherine during her 5th grade handling and running the boat. One of the longest Living History field trip to Star of India. projects we did was setting instruments out into the ocean to track currents. There were some that stayed at the surface and others that went down to specified depths to track sub-surface currents. We’ve also picked up instruments that were left on the ocean floor tracking seismic activity. What do you love about your current job ? What I love most about any job aboard ship is being at sea. I love to be out on the ocean with no land in sight and to forget about all the trivialities of life on shore. Thank you, Katherine, for sharing your voyage with us and for “carrying on!” Your experience reminds us that the lessons of the sea and knowledge of the mariner and are timeless and as relevant today as they have always been.

San Salvador Heads South Article by Vice President Susan Sirota
S
an Salvador’s Pacific Heritage Tour continues in 2018 with a partnership that may take it to the Mexican port of Ensenada. Under the guidance of Board Members, Historian Dr. Iris Engstrand and Tom Workman, retired Superintendent of Cabrillo National Monument, initial planning with several key agencies has begun with the Port of Ensenada, Mexico. After a very warm reception in Ensenada, it was clear that the decision makers were all present at the table and very interested in having San Salvador sail down for their Cabrillo event. In a few months we will hopefully know if the trip will take place this fall prior to our own Cabrillo Festival in San Diego. For now the plan is to sail San Salvador to Ensenada as a goodwill ambassador between our two countries and strengthen our relationship by recognizing our regions’ joint historical origins. Watch our website www.sdmaritime.org for more specific details for this year’s Pacific Heritage Tour updates and information.
