I added something

in the discussion of the caption of that Merchant Marine photo that might, or might not help. Check it out and see what you think. It does not really change the caption of the photo, though, which i think is just something along the lines of "Merchant Marines, North Atlantic, WWII", which is what and where the picture is. The possibility that the shot was "staged" by the crew is, in my mind, running about 97.5%, but it is still what the caption claims. Does this help? can I do more?

Maritime trades invite

Pan pan. Pan pan. Pan pan. Attention all vessels. This is WikiProject Maritime Trades. Please be advised that the project has been created to improve the quality and coverage of articles related to shipping and the diverse maritime trades. Assistance is requested. This is Maritime Trades standing by on Channel 16.

Hi Fishdecoy, based on your comments at the USMM article, I thought this might be of interest! Cheers. Haus42 01:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Aloha!

Hey, thanks for the nice note this morning, and for the copy-edits! Trust that I cringe every time I put in a he/him, but turning a 500-line list where every line starts: "The officer..." into prose is a challenge :). If you'd like to announce yourself and the stuff you're working on at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maritime_Trades, I'm sure you can get a little feedback as well as helping to build some momentum for the project. Cheers. Haus42 22:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Bilgepumper's Barnstar

On behalf of Maritime Trades, I hereby award the Bilge-pumper's Barnstar to Fishdecoy for relentless copy-edits and general improvement of United States Merchant Marine, Third Mate, Second Mate, Chief Mate, Captain (nautical), United States Merchant Marine, Sailor, List of notable American mariners, among other articles. Good work, shipmate!

Cheers! Haus42 14:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks much for the editing barnstar! The image reminds me of one of my tasks as an ordinary on an ocean tug: stripping to my skivvies, then crawling beneath cross members in a bilge to clean out the muck. Somebody has to do it.

I tripped over this...

and thought it's right up your alley: 45 pages of references on Women in Maritime History. Cheers. Haus^Talk 04:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Roger on that! Thanks.--Fishdecoy 02:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 25 April, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Winter Quarters Bay, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

interesting bio: 1st female... unlimited master/chief

Thought you might enjoy this biographical info. Cheers. Haus^Talk 22:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Quite the accomplishment, one person with a master's and chief engineer license! Thanks for passing on the find. --Fishdecoy 17:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Seafarers Int'l Union

Hey R -- I saw you banging on the SIU article and it inspired me to pitch in. That article's always been a rock in my shoe and it's nice to see it coming along. If you need any help, or need me to stay the ($%^(^$% away from it for awhile, please don't hesitate to let me know. :) Cheers. Haus^Talk 15:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

• • I appreciate the collaboration! I am intrigued as I learn more about the early years years of martime unions. Whew! I don't know how I would have fared shipping out during those head-banging years. Talk about coming up through the hawsepipe! Fishdecoy (talk) 00:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Dale Creek Crossing

I've replied on the talk page. I think you may have mistaken the redirect comment as a comment on the worthiness of the article, which is not the case. I was delighted to see that you had gone to the effort of working up a good start on the article, but I was trying to make it consistent with the National Register of Historic Places nomenclature, which is admittedly variable in usefulness and consistency. I'm fine with the title either way. Acroterion _(talk) 02:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
