At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost.

In my teenage years I was exclusively into shake, rattle and roll. However the only point where I could musically agree with the preferences of my parent’s generation was on Jim Reeves, because I couldn’t deny that the man could really sing. Here is a selection of his songs that never seem to age with time. The last track is Gentleman Jim singing a South African song in Afrikaans – now not a lot of people know about that.

#1 played just fine
#2 is not available on this side of the pond I guess.
#3 had never heard it before. Nice.

Thanks for the heads up, Ric. I have deleted that link and replaced it with the same track from elsewhere on the site. Hope it plays okay.
