The events that led myself and two other journalists - one from the Associated Press and the other from Courthouse News to be threatened by MDW with arrest.
Since December 2011, I have painstakingly covered and transcribed the Article 32 and Article 39(a) sessions of US v Pfc. Manning.
My work as a journalist is historical in perspective and includes a detailed, sourced time line and analysis of the U.S. joint-agency grand jury and military investigations into and against Manning, Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, and the Press.
Since January 2011, I have covered the WikiLeaks release of US State Department Cables, JTF memoranda known as the 'GTMO files', and revolutions across Egypt, Bahrain, Iran, and Yemen.
My live blog coverage of Bahrain, where the U.S. Fifth Fleet is based, was in excess of 63,000 hit a day; I believe, because of little to no coverage in the main stream press, coupled with worldwide interest and concern.
I have interviewed a preeminent US foreign policy expert on the U.S. Cambodia cables, and published hours of interviews with former GTMO guards, detainees, defense lawyers, and human rights activists, as well as WikiLeaks media partners: Andy Worthington, a GTMO historian and author, and Atanas Tchobanov, the Balkanleaks' spokesman and co-editor of Bivol.bg.
In spring of this year, I was one of seven plaintiffs - including author and former Middle East correspondent for the New York Times, Chris Hedges as well as Pentagon Paper whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg - against the U.S. President for Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act FY2012, which a Federal Judge ruled was unconstitutional because it violated the First and Fifth Amendments.
On March 23, 2012, in the very middle of a two day deposition by the U.S. Government for that suit - which concerned my genuine fear that the NDAA's vague language of "associated forces" and "substantial support" allows the U.S. Government to indefinitely detain me for my coverage of Guantanamo Bay, which includes interviews with individuals the U.S. Government considers terrorists - I magically received a reply to my June 21, 2011 request to visit Guantanamo as a member of the press - almost a year later.
Dear Ms. O'Brien, Hello from Joint Task Force, Guantanamo! It's been a while since we've heard from you regarding your request to visit to JTF. Are you still interested in visiting? If so, is there anything we can do to help you? Thanks for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you soon. V/r, MC2 (SW/AW) Kyle W.

Dear Ms. O'Brien,
Hello from Joint Task Force, Guantanamo! It's been a while since we've heard from you regarding your request to visit to JTF. Are you still interested in visiting? If so, is there anything we can do to help you?
Thanks for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
MC2 (SW/AW) Kyle W. Steckler JTF-PAO Media Relations Specialist Commercial: 011-5399-8157 DSN: 660-8157 cell: 84185 Commercial Fax: 011-5399-3650 DSN Fax: 660-3650 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil
I had never received a confirmation or reply from Joint Task Force-Guantanamo Public Affairs Office before that day.
While I had not received a response from Joint Task Force-Guantanamo Public Affairs Office, I did receive threats from private security contractors working with the U.S. Government, obsessed with trying to tie an organization that I founded - which is based on the the democratic republican principle of Government's independence in Federalist No. 52 and focused solely on reforming our corrupt elections - with Islamic jihadists.
I have been credentialed for every Article 39(a) session of US v. Pfc. Manning since his arraignment.
On March 15, 2012, on arriving to Fort Meade, Mary Doyle in the Public Affairs Office at Fort Meade informed me that there were server problems, so the Military District of Washington was unable to receive or send emails from members of the press seeking credentials.
In early March, journalists who had sent requests for credentials to US v Pfc. Manning were receiving "Delivery Status Notification (Delay)" responses from the media desk email server for the Military District of Washington.
Those server problems continue and on April 1, 2012; I received a "Delivery to the following recipients failed" when I sent an email requesting press credentials for the April 25 and 26, 2012 Article 39(a).
On May 8, 2012, I spent about two hours on the phone chasing down the Public Affairs Officers for the 10th Mountain Division, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion - all of which were Manning's respective Division, Brigade, and Battalion.
I was told by a Public Affairs Officer at Fort Drum, Captain Shane Sanretto, that the Military District of Washington was the only office allowed to answer any questions, so I called them, spoke with Ms. Shante Kelly at the Military District of Washington about my telephone call and exchange with Sanretto.
She instructed me to send her the email chain, and that she would review and authorize his ability to answer my questions.
Those questions were:
What was PFC Manning's Chain of Command from Squad to Commander in Chief from October 2009 to May 2010? I understand after he was derog'ed and moved to supplies, did he become part of HHC [Headquarters and Headquarters Company]?
Who was/were the Battalion Commander's of the 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion between October 2009 and May 2010?
Who was/were the Command Sergeant Major of the 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion between October 2009 and May 2010?
Who was/were Manning's immediate commanding officer in the T-SCIF October 2009 and May 2010?
Was PFC Manning in a "squad"? If so, name of "squad"? Commanding Staff Sergeant(s) October 2009 and May 2010?
Was PFC Manning in a "platoon"? If so, name of platoon? Commanding Lt. October 2009 and May 2010?
Was PFC Manning in B Company (Military Intelligence)? Captain in Charge October 2009 and
May 2010?
Captain Steven Lim spoke of a command change that occurred during deployment, around Jan 2010 and made official Feb 6? What are the name and positions of this command change that he spoke of?
What Iraqi Federal Police Divisions did the 2nd Brigade have partnerships with between October 2009 and May 2010?
These questions are basic and fundamental to any decent contextual coverage of the Manning trial.
I had already been in contact by email with other Public Affairs Officers at Fort Drum with little to no luck.
On May 4 I emailed Lisa Albrecht managing editor at the Fort Drum "The Mountaineer" military newsletter about an apparent mistake in one of their web articles about the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry).
She responded and explained that there was no error, but she could see why I might think there was one. When I replied to her email response - asking a question about the command change that occurred in the Second Brigade Troops Battalion in January 2010. I received no further reply.
Earlier, I had called and spoke with other Public Affairs Officers at Fort Drum asking for the names of commanders of the Second Brigade Troops Battalion, Second Brigade Combat Team, and 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) between October 2009 and May 2010. Their answer to my question was, "They don't know."
On May 10, 2012, I received a response to my email exchange forward Ms. Shante Kelly, who was on vacation when I had telephoned her on May 8. She emailed me in response to my May 8 request. She wrote that I had to wait because "questions are being reviewed and worked."
I requested updates to my original May 8, 2012 request on May 24, May 30. I received no reply.
In the afternoon of June 4, 2012, two days before the June 6, 2012 Article 39(a) session, and 30 days after my original request, I sent another request for an update on my May 8 questions, asking them if any questions had been answered. I finally got a response from the Military District of Washington, a. It was:
At this stage in the trial the only names that have been noted on the record are the convening authority, Maj. Gen. Michael S. Linnington; the Special Court Martial Convening Authority, Col. Carl R. Coffman and the Summary Court Martial Convening Authority, Lt. Col. Leiker.
They didn't even answer my first three and last question which had nothing to do with the Court record. I replied asking for information not related to US v Pfc. Manning, and received no response.
In the press pool at the June 5, 2012 Article 39(a) session during the morning briefing for the press, I asked Captain John Haberland, a spokesman for the Military District of Washington (MDW) why it had taken them thirty days to reply with non-answers to my questions.
Haberland said he didn't know. I then told him that the response from the Military District of Washington has prevented me from completing a story I am writing about the relationship between the 2nd Brigade Combat Team and the Iraqi Federal Police. It is very frustrating to spend days researching, and have my time wasted by the Military District of Washington.
I told him that I think it would be helpful if MDW and the Public Affairs Office would explain to the civilian press basic information about Chain of Command in the US Army both in theater and garrisoned.
At that point Ms. Shante Kelly from the Military District of Washington interrupted and said she would get answers to my questions. I said, I had already sent her an email, and that all Captain Shane Sanretto at Fort Drum needed was her authorization, which I had already discussed with her by telephone on May 8, 2012. She said she would look into it, and that she did not know the answers to my questions.
During that day's court session, Ms. Kelly walked up to me and told me that it would "take a very long time" to get answers to my questions because she said, according to her exchange with Fort Drum, the "computers containing that information were wiped after deployment." She stressed again that it would "take a very long time to get my answers."
During proceedings the next day, June 7, 2012, in Smallwood Hall, where the press pool is located with a live video feed of US v Pfc. Manning proceedings and wifi access, I saw that the U.S. Federal Judge had replied to the U.S. Government "Motion for Reconsideration" to Judge Forrest's earlier ruling on the unconstitutionality of Section 1021 the NDAA, to which I am a party.
I quickly wrote up a short post with a PDF of Judge Forrest's response, published it, and tweet the link.
Very soon after, Ms. Kelly walked up to me, stood over my computer during the live feed of the Court proceedings, and told me in an angry tone of voice that she "had already received two phone calls about my tweets, and if I tweet one more time during the Court proceedings I would lose my credentials and have to leave."
I told her that the tweet was a link to my post on Section 1021 of the NDAA FY2012 had nothing to do with the proceedings at Fort Meade, she said, "It doesn't matter. If you tweet one more time, I will ask you to leave."
On Wednesday, June 20th, five days before the hearing, I had sent an email to the Military District of Washington requesting press credentials for the June 25, 2012 Article 39(a) session. I did not receive a confirmation response.
On Thursday, only one business day before the June hearing, the Military District of Washington finally posted a press release about the Monday, June 25 hearing. I sent another request from email, and received a response confirming MDW's receipt of my request.
I never received another email from them.
I drove to the Monday, June 25, 2012 Article 39(a) of US v Pfc. Manning located at Fort Meade, MD at 3:00 a.m. from New York City, NY. It is a four hour drive.
Earlier, on the night of June 24, I had read a tweet from Clark Stoeckly the WikiLeaks truck driver asking if "anyone was traveling to Fort Meade" because he needed a ride. Stoeckly has been drawing sketches of the trial for both WL Central and Frontline Club News. I contacted him and told him I would pick him up en route.
Stoeckly and I arrived at Fort Meade, MD around 7am. We grabbed some coffee at the Dunkin Donuts off base. Stoeckly had also not received an email response to his credential request either.
I called Courthouse News reporter, Adam Klasfeld, who had emailed me asking about the hearing on Thursday, June 21. He told me he had received an email.
I decided that since I was at Fort Meade that I should visit the Public Affairs Office and see if I was credentialed, because of their rampant server problems. I drove through the Visitor Control Center between 7:30 am and 8:00 a.m and right to the Public Affairs Office on base.
The office wasn't open, and I decided to wait until business hours in their parking lot. I saw a man entering the building. His name was Brian Spann and he told me he worked for the Public Affairs Office at Fort Meade, but was not involved in the U.S. V Pfc. Manning trial.
I told him I was trying to figure out if I had received credentials since I never received an email, and there have been a lot of problems for myself and other reporters. He told me he would make a phone call. I told him I would wait in my vehicle.
He went into the Public Affairs Office building and came out about five minutes later, still on the phone. As he began to look like he was concluding his phone call, I approached him.
Mr. Spann told me that credentials come through the Military District of Washington, that the Public Affairs Office has nothing to do with credentialing. I told him that I was under the impression from talking to others at Public Affairs that they were responsible for contacting journalists. He said that if I didn't receive an email from the Military District of Washington, I was not credentialed.
He then told me to go over to Smallwood Hall, where the press pool is normally located and ask for someone from Public Affairs. I told him the trial hearing wasn't until 1:00 p.m. and asked him for permission to drive over there. He said, "Yes."
Stoeckly and I drove two minutes to the parking lot of Smallwood Hall. Stoeckly stayed in the Jeep while I ran into the building to find someone from Public Affairs handling the Manning Article 39(a) hearing.
When I went inside I found a friendly lady in a military pencil skirt sitting by a table with a blue and white cake with the words "Retirement" written on it.
I asked her if anyone from Public Affairs was here. She said, "No. Why?" I said, "Oh, they normally host the press pool here for the Manning trial, which has a hearing at 1:00 p.m...as well as all the Guantanamo Bay military tribunals, which are broadcast here for the press." She seemed surprised and said, 'Really?"
She said she had reserved the room till 1:00 p.m. I said, well I guess they will have us somewhere else, "Thank you and good bye."
I went back to my vehicle. Five minutes later, Mary Doyle drove up along side the Jeep I was sitting in. She said, the press pool will not be located at Smallwood today and that reporters had to go into the Court room (where no computers are allowed).
I told her I had not received an email. She said that she had nothing to do with the credentialing, and that credentials come through Ms. Shante Kelly the representative for the Military District of Washington. She also said that if I didn't receive an email it could be because there were no enough seats due to the fact that the press would not be in Smallwood Hall.
Doyle also said that Ms. Kelly would be at the Public Affairs Office soon, and that sometimes she can work it out the day of, because she has the list.
I told her I thought it was outrageous that given that US v Pfc. Manning was one of the most important leak trials of our era and journalists will not be allowed to use computers.
She reprimanded me for going into Smallwood Hall. I told her I got permission from Mr. Spann. She said,"Well he was wrong." I said, "Well that is not my problem."
I tweet, "Reporters for the most important leak trial of our time will NOT be allowed to use computers b/c of a retirement party in Smallwood #manning"
I drove over to the commissary on base to purchase notebooks and a handful of pens, since I now knew I would not be typing a transcript and coverage into a computer.
Immediately after, I headed to the Public Affairs Office and asked for Ms. Shante Kelly from the Military District of Washington. Instead I was brought to see Ms. Doyle again, the lady from Smallwood Hall, who said she had sent me an email with my credentials "hours ago". I never received that email. She then said she had sent it to my editor. I told her, my credentials have always come to my email.
Ms. Doyle then informed me I had to leave base, and come back on as press, meaning I had to go outside, and drive back on base with the military police escorts.
When I got back in the vehicle I told Stoeckly that I got credentialed. Stoeckly decided to go in and see if he could get credentialed too. He came back and informed me, she had said he could not be credentialed because he sent his email in after the Friday 3:00 p.m. deadline.
We drove off base and back to the Visitor Control Center. A Public Affairs Officer asked for my ID, and a military police officer told me to open all my car doors, trunk, and hood. A bomb sniffing dog, sniffed my Jeep.
The M.P. then told Stoeckly, he would need to walk to mile to the Courthouse, because he was not credentialed. I told Stoeckly I would bring his art supplies to him at the Court House.
Since there were only four journalists present that day, and maybe five members of the public, it begs the question why Stoeckly wasn't given any credentials.
We drove back to the Public Affairs Office, where I had been fifteen minutes earlier talking with Ms. Doyle. When I walked in the building, Adam Klasfeld from Courthouse News was checking in.
I put down my computer bag and walked up to the table where I met Ms. Shante Kelly.
She handed me a copy of the rules and instructed me to initial at each rule and sign at the bottom. I started to initial each rule when I asked her if I might take a picture of the rules. She asked why? Was it for personal or for business. I replied, "Personal." She hesitated but then said, 'Yes. I guess so."
The reason I took a picture is that I have had frequent discussions with other members of the press about the way the U.S. Government is managing and controling press coverage of US v. Pfc. Manning.
When I took the picture she became angry and said she had sent an email to the admin account at WL Central at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
I told her that I always send and received my requests from my personal gmail account. She said the admin account at WL Central was the one on record. I told her that MDW has had repeated server problems with journalist credential requests.
I also said that I have already had issues with MDW not replying to my media requests, talking 30 days to reply for example with non-answers.
She looked at me and told me, she could pull my press credentials. I asked her, "Why?" She said, because she could. She asked Klasfeld who was seated in the press pool when he received his email. I told her that this had nothing to do with Klasfeld, and she shouldn't involve other people.
Ms. Kelly then told me that I broke the rules. When I asked her what rule I had broken, she said read the rules. So, I did. I read each rule out loud, and at each one she said, "Keep going."
At that point another journalist came into the room. I kept reading the rules, as she directed. I had not broken any of them. I told her that there wasn't one rule that I had broken on this sheet. I asked her again, "Why she was going to pull my credentials?" She told me to keep reading. So I did.
She then told me I was being disruptive and said to someone standing behind me, "Please get DES?" I asked her what DES was? She told me, "You will find out." I told her that I thought it was completely inappropriate that she was calling law enforcement on a journalist. I opened my iPhone and turned on the record button.
Below is what took place between myself and Ms. Kelly.
The imaginary press that the Public Affairs Office refers to, did not exist, because there were only four journalists covering the trial. The two other journalist were also threatened with arrest if they didn't leave me alone with the law enforcement officer. One was from the AP and the other from Courthouse News.
In some kind of ridiculous Pentagon fantasy (or reality), the head of Public Affairs considered his employees, journalists. I don't.
I initialed and signed all the documents and received a badge.
I sat down at a table and opened up my computer and started tweeting. For the next ten minutes, I was seated at a long table in front of an AP reporter and Adam Klasfeld from Courthouse News. Everyone was busy preparing to move (without computers) to the Courthouse, as you can hear, but it wasn't over.
Two law enforcement officers appeared outside the press pool media center. One was talking to Ms. Kelly. She walked up to me and asked me to go out and speak to the two law enforcement officers. I asked her calmly, 'Why?" She didn't respond and walked away.
About five minutes later, the two officer came in the room. One of them sat on the long table directly in front of me. He told me he wanted to talk to me alone. I said I would like to record the conversation. He agreed and I opened my iPhone and pressed record.
I went to the Courthouse that afternoon.
During the last short session I opted to upload the audio from the morning.
I am outraged that the Military District of Washington and the Public Affairs Office at Fort Meade, which I think are incompetent, would threaten a journalist - a journalist I would add who has probably covered this trial in more detail than most.
The constant threat of losing credentials and access; server problems; non replies; non answers; technical issues; vague accusations and falsehoods backed up by law enforcement; and threats of detainment and possible arrest is exactly how the Military District of Washington manages coverage of US v. Pfc. Manning - making it impossible, superficial, and most importantly non existent.
The truth is the Military District of Washington doesn't like my coverage of the trial and the U.S. Government, because it is detailed and critical.
But what upset them that morning, was neither that I had broken any rules; because I hadn't. Nor that I was being disruptive, because I wasn't. What really upset them was that I had found out that the reason that press were without access to our computers during the most important leak trial of our age was because of a retirement party at Smallwood Hall. And, that is exactly why my press credentials were almost pulled and I was threatened with detainment and arrest.

Saffron: Crocus Sativus
Still the most expensive spice in the world and worth its weight in gold, Saffron has been revered since ancient times. Strewn in ancient Greece and Roman courts and theatres the treasured spice was sprinkled on the streets of Rome for Nero's entrance to the city. Adulterers of the treasured spice were condemned to death in Europe's Middle Ages by Henry 8th who held Saffron in the highest regard as a seductive essence.
Smells Like: Described by connoisseurs as reminiscent of metallic honey with grassy or hay-like notes.
Cultivation: Derived from the dried stigmas of the hand collected purple saffron crocus in the autumn, when fully open it takes anything from 70,000 to 250,000 flowers to make one pound of saffron.
Snow Lotus: Costus Saussurea
Displaying great strength through adversity "Mu Xiang" or "Snow Lotus" grows only in the rocky mountains and glaciers near the snowline about 5,000 meters above sea level and is said to promote the movement of Qi and can be used as an aphrodisiac. The legendary snow lotus has magical ability to prolong life�the inhabitants of Xinjiang have some of the longest life spans in China and the province is home to about four thousand centenarians.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis Forte
The launch of a limited edition of Forte is the direct result of the popularity of Francis Kurkdjian's eau de toilette Aqua Universalis, an everyday delight that can be used on one's skin, in the house or on linen, providing a reassuring freshness.
This olfactory composition has the same "sunny" emotions, but adds the memory, sparkle, and intensity to the citrus charm and white flowers of the "classical" Aqua Universalis. The result is the fabulous, precious, sought-after "sillage" or lingering trail left by the fragrance.
Sicilian citron is still there, but with another bergamot chosen this time for its greener, more brilliant, sparkling notes.
The nobility of a bouquet of white flowers - lily of the valley and seringa - elevated by the absolutes of Egyptian jasmine flowers and Moroccan roses. The fullness of light woods as a base note, brought to the fore by a more sustained musky accord. And finally, an exceptional concentration on par with an extract.
In short, an aerial fragrance, at once light and powerful like gold in Summer.
About the Packaging:
This fine-weather eau de parfum comes in a Maison Francis Kurkdjian 70mL bottle, capped with a golden stopper, a reminder of the light that is one of our values.

Welcome to Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society
Saturday, 10 April 2010
Another busy week with lots happening. The model boat gang is getting close to completion on the order for 1,000 models. These little kits are a huge hit with the young crowd. Pitate Birthday Parties and the annual Richmond Maritime Festival will probably use up the entire stock again this year.
Work on Iona continues apace. Her starboard side paint is pretty well complete as is the refinishing of her upper works. Prep on her port side is well advanced. The work to replace her horn timber is due to start soon. Then it will be a matter of a few new planks and some structural work to make her stern sound again and she should, we hope, be in the water by end of June. Well, July at the latest.
Merrilee II is undergoing a nearly complete rewiring. At 60 years of age, having served many owners and been subjected to countless upgrades it would be odd if her wiring weren't in dubious condition. Standards fpr marine wiring have changed substantially over the decades. Many of her circuits were of solid core wire, many had unacceptable insulation, many were under capacity. We've decided to completely remove the 120 VAC circuits from the 'house' (except for stove and one outlet for heater) to simplify. With a modern charging plant it's as efficient to light with 12 VDC. As with any job, it's more effort than one would at first think: headliners and wall panels must come out, berths must be pulled back, floor boards lifted, old wiring must be removed and new circuits planned. As usual, other things are discovered in the process. The unexpected discovery this time had to do with the carlins (roof beams) in the main cabin. Merrilee II is on her 3rd engine. At some time a hole had been cut in her cabin roof to allow the removal of an old engine and indtallation of a new one. The carlins were 'spliced' in a rather cursory fashion with 1/4" fish plate held in place by #8 wood screws. We were not at all comfortable with the thought of some 230 lb. guy wandering around up there with these light duty patches so the project got extended a bit. The new splpices are of 3/4" mahogany, one piece each side and through bolted with 1/4" stainless steel bolts. Should be m uch stronger.
Britannia recycles. In this case even if it isn't part of the official plan. Shown here is one of two stumps at Britannia with a spectacular diplay of 'Turkey Tail' mushroom. Fungus is Nature's way of returning material to it's origianl ciondition so that it can be used again. Here we see the mushroom breaking down the lignin & cellulose of the old stump into constituents for new soil. The Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) is not usually considered an edible but is thought to have medicinal properties.
If you would like to examine these fascinating fungi in person you may find them just north of the new washrooms, by the path from the parking lot.

Knotty, not naughty. Or so they say. Following a nearly decade long hiatus the Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society is glad to be back in the program business. A group of intrepid trainee rope workers participated in the season's first Knot Tying class where they were introduced to the ancient and endlessly intriguing art of knot tying. Part of the class poses here with event co-ordinator, Deb, and instructor Matthew.
Matthew introduced them to a series of basic but highly useful knots including the bowline with several variations, the reef, the thief's, the clove hitch and the intriguing monkey's fist. Following the ninety minute class room session the group headed down to the floats to practise the practical aspects of heaving a line, moorining a boat, making a line fast to a cleat, setting a spring line and all sorts of other essential dockside lore.
Further sessions are planned. The next one, in May, will delve into the aspects of splicing and whipping. Participants will learn how finish a rope end by whipping or back-splicing, how to splice two ropes together and other useful skills.
Deb & Matthew have their heads together planning a third session late in the year. They have conceived the idea of designing and making Christmas Wreaths using their new nautical (knotical) skills. Should be special.
Hurrah, hurrah. At long last, the gas tank issues with the Hyster have been resolved! The last line was connected, the last bolt tightened and the battery charged up. We keyed the starter briefly and, wonder of wonders, the old 6-cylinder flathead Continental came alive. No smoke, no unseemly roar; hardly the show we had expected. Just a quiet, contented purring. Quite frankly it has never, in the six years I've known it, run so well. My speculation now is that the earlier attempts to repair the leaky gas tank with some kind of chemical gunk poured into it has been continually contaminating the fuel supply over the years and causing incomplete combustion, smokey exhaust, fouled spark plugs, rough erratic running, balky acceleration, sporadic stalling and loss of power. How delightful.
Suddenly, after weeks of stripping away and then re-installing carburettor, manifolds, exhaust system, fuel pump, air cleaners and various other odds & ends there was nothing left to do but to re-install the cowlings and take it ofr a test drive. We hope & fervently pray this will be the last major repair for a long, long while. Nursing this cranky old beast back to a semblance of health may well have taken the best part of half a volunteer year.
Lots of pent up demand for its services. It had been pronounced fit for service for less than 15 minutes before the yard crew had it out rearranging the Fraser River skiffs.
Here Jim is coaching Kevin in the gentle art of moving thousand kilogram boats with a still slightly balky and geriatric forklift. And Yes, that's an ICBC Graduated Licence Progrm "N" sign on the front of the machine! No one seems to know how it got there.

Here Jerry is painting and filling the starboard side of Iona. The Iona is definitely looking much better these days. Her first coat of paint is being filled with putty and sanded smooth ready for the next coat.
The issue of Iona's stern has been carefully considered and pretty well settled. She was originally built in the 1920s as a double-ender, meaning she had a pointed stern. A decade or so later, as table-seining became more common she was converted to a blunt stern for better net handling. As so many other conversions of this nature, the rebuilt stern was a source of structuaral weakness and was prone to rot, especially given the then common habit of pourning concrete into the stern lazarette for ballast and structural rigidity.
We must take off pretty well the entire stern area and rebuild it with new timber and planking. We considered the idea of rebuilding her to her original double-ended configuration but felt that the scope was simply too large for the Society at this time.

Ferdie, Jim & Fione ham it up in Richmond Boat Builders. Ferdie is our lathe meister and excells in turning beautiful wooden items on his lathe. His jemel boxes, fids and other articles can frquently be found in the gift shop for astonishingly reasonable prices.
Ferdie uses a wide range of hardwoods on his lathe. Fids might be made from lignum vitae or other exotic hardwood. Some were made from locally grown cherry. Jemwel boxes are turned from blank that Ferdie laminates from a number of different tropical woods.
A small team of woodworkers has been diligently sawing, shaping and sanding as they make up an order of 1,000 model boats. These highly popular kits are the delight of children of all items because they get to make their very own boat.
The kit consists of a hull, made from 2x4 material, a wheel house and a wheel house roof. The components are pre-drilled enabling them to be assembled into a toy boat with a single nail. The kit also comes with three coloured beads, one white, one red & one green which can be affixed with smal nails to represent navigation lights or, simpy, decorations.
Although simple and easy enough for anyone over the age of 6 to put together the results are infinitely creative and variable. They are extemely popular at Pirate Birthday Parties and at the Maritime Festival.

Projects proceed apace as high numbers of volunteers turn out to work on the Britannia fleet and plant.
Our geriatric fork lift, a 1947 Hyster, is a cranky beast at the best of times. Late last year the gas tank gave up up its ever-so-vital ability to hold fuel. There is no easy access to this component; we had to strip off covers, shrouds seat and manifolds to remove it for inspection. Once exposed, the lower half of the steel tank looked more like lace than sheet metal.
Once we discovered a second hand replacement tank would cost over $1,000 we set about find a repair option. A kindly fabricator cut the lower 8" off, had the inside sandblasted to remove the black gunk left by earlier repair attempts and welded on a new bottom.
Here is Larry, up to his elbows in forklift, trying to figure out how to get the repaired and repainted tank back into its cramped space.
In other areas: we continue to scratch our heads over the best plan for Iona. Her stern is in very rough shape. She was, like many vessels of her day, converted from a double-ender when table seining equipment was developed in the period following WWII. The conversions, often hastily done, can be a weak point in the hull. Certainly that is the case for our vessel. Considerable rot has been removed but we fear more remians. We have arranged for a professional surveyor to look at her and provide some guidance.
We are about to begin re-wiring the Merrilee II to bring her up to modern standards. It is remarkable how many problems creep into a system in 60 years.

Sad News: Tallship Concordia sunk off the coast of Brasil. All hands reported rescued safely. See CBC News item.
Britannia Heritage Shipyard had a special relationship with Concordia. She visited us last in 2007 at which time Britannia was made her Westcoast homeport.
This image of Concordia at Britannia's floats, by the Phoenix netloft, was taken in the summer of 2004 and was entered in the Society's first photo competition in 2006.
We mourn her loss.
Thursday, 18 February 2010:
A regiment of seagulls stands on guard over the netloft at Britannia.
Saturday, 30 January 2010:
It was a pretty full week. The Harbour Authority dredged the area in fornt of our floats. This operation is in preparation for the 2011 Fesitval of Tall Ships. Due to silt in the river water the bottom continuusly receives a deposit of sediment. Over the years this builds up to become a hazard to progressively more shallow vessels. Tall ships draw plenty of water. We had to move out the boats, then the floats. Dredging itself was done in three days, the huge suction machine working all night to get thte job done. Then, tow the floats back in and return the vessels which had been tucked away in various neighhbours' establishments for the week.
Restoration operations continue on the Iona. Here Richard has exposed another body of rot in the stern lazarette, just where the need for structural strength is the greatest: surrounding the rudder post. That concrete sure did a lot of long term damage. The amount of compromised timber is, not surprisingly, worse than we had hoped. It brings up some interesting questions about the restoration. At one time we thought Iona was built as a double-endeand that she was later converted to a table seiner when that technology became popular. Later thinking and close examination of her ribs and planks have pretty well dispelled that notion. More likely her pattern was the result of a hasty dedesign from a double-ender to a blunt stern to facilitate the table seine gear.The conversion seems to be a source of weakness and is not particularly lovely.
The suggestion has arisen to consider turning her back to a double ender. It has been resisted initally because of the additional work & material required but... as we uncover more rot the disadvantages diminish in comparison.
A boat builder friend of Al's recently passed away. He wanted his lapstrake skiff, built as a project when he was an apprentice in the '30s, to be enjoyed and admired. Al brought it in on Saturday alomg with some other delightful bits from the boatbuilder's trade and it certainly caused a ripple of oohing & aahing. No doubt about it, she is a pretty little gem. Her condition, perfect, shows that she has been well loved. She has all her tackle: mast, sail, oars, dagger- board. The Society is thrilled to be chosen as Stumpy's keeper for the next phase of her career.
I expect she'll end up on a decorative cradle in the Shipyard except when we put her in the water to keep her hydrated and strong.
Dale continues his careful restoration of the Glenelle sailing skiff. This is another little gem in our collection and she is particularly lovely. As she does not, however, enjoy a particularly historical connection to the community I expect she'll end up "For Sale" sometime this year.
Somebody's going to get a beautiful boat!
Saturday, 23 January 2010:
A dull day but, as usual, delightful by the water, especially as it was almost eerily calm.
Boat drill was the order of the day. The harbour in front of Britannia's floats is to be dredged to make ready for Tall Ships 2011 and so not only must the boats leave to make room for the week-long operation, we must also move the floats. Scooting Merrilee II up to the Nelson Pond at Paramount was a simple and rewarding task.
Much more challenging was the move of Shuchona 1V to temporary moorage in Steveston. The poor old girl rests at the float with a slight list to starboard; not only is her engine currently inoperative, her steering is seized. Gave Dick, the tow boat operator an awful time, especially as we had to thread our way through inbound fishing vessels and the sprawl of the dredge which spread out over the entire harbour. Dick took it in stride and with good humour, owever, and grinned as he told us how he used to deliver fish to her when she was a cash boat. He sure is an artist with that tow boat of his, balance tide, wind and traffic in ridiculously tight spaces.
Visual highlight of the day had to be the double rainbow over Nelson Pond. Almost as good as a pot of gold, the Merrilee II could be found at the end of this rainbow.
Welcome to new member Marianne who has, just this Saturday, thrown in with the Iona crew.
Wednesday, 21 January 2010:
High tides and the surge caused by an onshore gale caused extensive flooding at Britannia Hertage Shipyard Monday. The Murakami home and boatshed were flooded and will require floors to be taken up during restoration.
Conservation: an endeavour more difficult to practice than one would have thought. The Vasa, a Swedish warship from the 1600s and raised from Stockholm harbour in 1961 has recently been observed to be degrading rapidly from the chemical reactions based on iron in the vessel. Read the article and fins related stories in Science Daily: Degradation Of Wood In Royal Warship Vasa Is Caused By Iron (Sept. 2008)
Saturday, 16 January 2010:
The gang is slowly recovering from the holidays. Although the crews are not yet as large as they were in early December they are getting there.
The little Mukai is getting steady and careful attention. Seen here, Jim is bedding trim detail on the wheel house.
The 'Mukai ' was a retirement project of the the late Steveston boatbuilder, Sejei Mukai. Is a at 18 feet LOA it is a 50% scale model of the type of craft Sejei built throughout his career. This pretty little runabout is equipped with a Volvo Penta inboard-outboard drive train,
Iona has pretty well been stripped as far as she needs to be. There are still a few seams below the water line that require raking but the crew are now busily ploting the restoration. Of critical imporatance is the installation of internal beams, bulkheads and stringers for the vessels strwngth depends upon these. Origibnal bulkheads have been removed because they were in an advanced state of decomposition./p>
Jerry and Al are seen here discussing details of the Iona's internal structure.

In this presentation, I will describe new experimental platforms recently developed in my laboratory ' a vertical nanowire platform and single-cell sequencing technologies ' and their applications in various biological inquiries. The vertical nanowire platform enables high throughput interrogation and manipulation of living cells by providing multiplexed chemical and electrical interfaces to a cell's interior in a minimally invasive fashion. Using this platform to deliver surface-bound molecules into the cell's cytosol, we have investigated intracellular molecular circuitries that govern immune cells' behavior and studied the origins of clinical heterogeneity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The same platform also enables direct electrical access to brain cells, thus allowing the control and monitoring of neuronal activity in a multiplexed fashion. Finally, we have developed a new pipeline for single-cell transcriptomics and discovered extensive variations between individual immune cells in both the abundance and splicing of RNA transcripts. These examples demonstrate the potential of these new experimental platforms for diverse biological inquiries.
