Privateer Royaliste, the Sternwheeler Portland and the Very Bad Friday the 13th Posted on July 18, 2012 by Rick Spilman Correction: Based on local news reports, we originally posted that water pressure from the steamer Portland‘s paddle-wheel damaged the Royaliste. We were incorrect. The Portland clearly backed into the ketch, which was tied up alongside the dock. See the video below, which shows the impact. Thanks to Captain Larsen and Robert Kennedy for pointing out our error and to Alaric Bond for forwarding the video of the collision. Friday, June 13th, should have been a great day at the first St. Helen’s Maritime Heritage Festival for both the 55′ privateer ketch Royaliste and the 186′ historic stern-wheel steamer Portland. Both ships were making debuts of a sort. The Royaliste has been undergoing extensive restoration for several years and her first public re-appearance was last Friday. Likewise, the sternwheeler Portland, built in 1949 and owned by the Oregon Maritime Museum, was carrying its first passengers down the Columbia River since a mechanical failure nearly sent it plummeting over the Bonneville Dam in 2008. Unfortunately, things did not go well when the vessels crossed paths. The Royaliste was at the dock when the Portland came backing down. The sternwheeler’s rail struck the ketch’s starboard side, opening several seams in the ketch’s planking. (See the video below.) The Royaliste immediately began taking on water and was saved from sinking by portable pumps provided by U.S. Coast Guard and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office marine unit. According to its Facebook page, the Royaliste has made it back to its home port in Schooner Creek and is being kept afloat by pumps pending the arrival of the insurance surveyors.http://youtu.be/ZsBOifSZOCc

Our thoughts and prayers are with our pirate brethren in Hampton Virginia tonight where there was a tornado in town that pretty much trashed the Blackbeard Festival pirate camp. Thank goodness almost all the pirates were at the Pirate Ball rather than in camp when the winds came. You might want to watch the video... It's the second video down the webpage, actually from the pirate encampment. http://wtvr.com/2012...y6xDVXK3l059US1

THE HMS BOUNTY – WILL BE DOCKED AT THE 10 WHARFSIDE STREET (CHARLESTON MARITIME CENTER) The HMS Bounty will be visiting Charleston, South Carolina as part of our East Coast Tour. The ship will be located at the Maritime Center in downtown Charleston. The HMS Bounty is one of the most famous ships in the world. Known for the storied mutiny that took place in Tahiti in 1789 on board the British transport vessel, the current Bounty, a replica, has survived to tell the tale. Built for the 1962 movie “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando, HMS Bounty sails the country offering dockside tours in which one can learn about the history and details of such sailing vessels from a lost and romanticized time in maritime history. Since her debut in “Mutiny on the Bounty”, HMS Bounty has appeared in many feature films and documentaries such as the Edinburgh Trader in Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest with Johnny Depp. Built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, the Bounty displaces 412 tons, includes 400,000 board feet of lumber (American Oak from New Jersey for the frames, Nova Scotia Black Spruce for the hull, and British Columbia Fir for the masts, yards and decks), 112 tons of screw bolts, 14 tons of bar iron, 2 ½ tons of spikes, 1200 pounds of putty, 10 miles of line for rigging, 192 blocks for mechanical advantage, and over 10,000 square feet of hand-sewn canvas for the sails. Bounty is 120 feet on deck, 180 feet overall, 115 feet off the water. She has a 30-foot beam, a 12-foot draft, and 12 feet of freeboard. THE POWDER MAGAZINE – 79 CUMBERLAND STREET CHARLESTON, SC Construction began on The Powder Magazine in 1712 and was completed by 1713, making it the oldest public building in South Carolina. The structure was originally created to house Carolinas’ gunpowder in the early colonial period. Holding about five tons of gunpowder, this building was extremely dangerous. However, the gunpowder was needed to supply cannons around the old walled city of Charles Town in an effort to defend the town from the Spanish, French, pirates, slave insurrection and native attacks. The walls of The Powder Magazine are three feet thick solid brick. The structure was given an arched ceiling with several tons of sand above. In the event of an explosion, the thick walls would force the blast upward. After shattering the ceiling, sand would then dampen the explosion or perhaps even pour down on the fire – acting as a kind of 18th century extinguishing system. A brilliant design; however, because the gunpowder never exploded, this concept of “containing an explosion” was never tested onsite. This facility was used as an arsenal from 1713 – 1748 and then temporarily reinstated by the Continental Army during the American Revolution. After 1780, The Powder Magazine was retired; however, private owners discovered a variety of other functions for this historic structure. Throughout the 19th century, The Powder Magazine was converted to a stable, print shop, blacksmith shop, wine cellar, and horse carriage house. In 1902, The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of South Carolina purchased the building, saving it from being destroyed. It was then restored and opened as a museum. Today, The Powder Magazine stands as a witness to nearly all of South Carolina’s modern history. It is one of the oldest attractions in our State and is considered Charleston’s first preservation project. By showcasing exhibits relevant to the colonial-era, the museum invites visitors to take a step back three hundred years into Carolinas’ past. The facility also hosts a variety of onsite and outreach education programs ranging from early colonial to Revolutionary South Carolina history. The Powder Magazine is available to visitors daily and will be celebrating its 300th birthday in 2013!
