11th Photos Page |

It's been a while since I've posted any new photos, but that
doesn't mean I haven't been onboard working! Today was my forth
visit since my last posting, most of those days have been spent
polishing brass inside Turrets #1 and #2. I've also been busy
putting together a 2005 calendar featuring photos of the ship, which I
gave out to many of the volunteers today. This morning I arrived
to find Santa down on the mess deck, you never know what you'll
see on Big J these days! Below is a selection of photos from my
last several days onboard. My next volunteer day will be December
18th, I'll be bringing some more calendars for those I missed on this
trip, hope to see you there!

Another
shot of Santa and one of his helpers. I asked Santa
to bring the ship a sleigh load of Teakwood to replace the
decks, I guess we'll see how good I've been this year... |

Seaman
Hornsby, please report to the Aft Mess Deck!
That means chow time for the volunteers onboard Big J!
Whenever we hear that call over the 1MC we come running! |
