Swimming for Safety

Posted on September 18, 2009 by Pierette Simpson

My dear friends Germaine and Marge have a lovely cottage perched on a hill overlooking Lake Huron. They have their own private beach on this primitive, chilly body of water.

It’s so exciting to revisit the lake where I first learned how to swim.  I vividly recall my great aunt Theresa teaching me the doggie paddle—and I actually believed this was swimming! Eventually, I taught myself how to really swim; but the most fun I had was cutting through the giant waves that washed up on some stormy water days. Aunt Theresa would have to coax me out of the water, even though I was shivering all over and my lips had turned blue from overexposure to the frigid temperatures.

Last weekend the air was too cool to feel like swimming. So my friends and I enjoyed great food and camaraderie, along with my dear companion, Richard

 During the two-hour ride home (complicated by hundreds of orange and white barrels lining the route), Richard reflected, “I really wish I could swim.” I was taken aback because I just assumed that my tall, masculine guy could at least somewhat swim. When I offered to teach him, he answered,  “I really should take some formal classes for people who are water shy like me.”

The next day, I looked at the course description booklet for continuing education at a local college. Lo and behold, they had a course called “Swimming for Water Shy Adults”. What an excellent idea! Besides being fun, swimming is for safety. I believe that anyone who travels or plays in water should learn some basic skills.

I learned the peace of mind that people have during threatening water experiences—like that of the Andrea Doria.  Survivors who I interviewed for my book, Alive on the Andrea Doria!  often remarked how comforting it was knowing they could swim, or how frightful it was knowing they could not. If my life is ever in danger around water, I can be thankful that I earned my Red Cross life-saving certificate while in high school.

A Maiden Voyage on the Queen Mary II

Posted on September 5, 2009 by Pierette Simpson


My friend and colleague, Bill Garzke, called me to share his excitement: on September 8 he is taking his maiden voyage on the Queen Mary II.  Even though Bill works as a naval architect every day, he seems to feel the excitement of a young man (he’s in his 70s) going to sea.

On September 17, Bill will co-present with Australian diver Kevin Denlay a report on the Prince of Wales. He told me that Denlay has done several dives to the wreck, which lies between 132-230 feet below the surface off the coast of Malaysia

.  Bill explained that pilots are able to see the up side down wreck as they fly overhead since the water is so clear. The illustrious presentation will take place at London’s Lloyd’s Register for the joint Institute of Marine Engineers Science and Technology, and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

Since Bill is the chairman of the Marine forensics panel for SNAME (Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers) and consultant to James Cameron on the Titanic and Bismarck shipwrecks he’s well-qualified as special guest on September 17.

At 70-plus years, Bill is an inspiration for his insatiable desire to learn and share with humanity. My friend and I collaborate by giving presentations at naval colleges/academies about our technical report, “The Loss of the Andrea Doria.” We have taught each other much information from this collaboration. Bill is especially thankful that I can share the human element with him, and also that I want to understand the scientific aspects of the Andrea Doria-Stockholm collision.  I’m very grateful for Bill’s technical explanations of the event.

I wish my friend much luck on his presentation and a ‘bon voyage’ on the Queen Mary II!

Follow-up: Air Crash on the Hudson River

Posted on September 1, 2009 by Pierette Simpson


Last night, I watched the Ed Show on MSNBC. I listened in amazement as Ed interviewed Senator Chuck Schumacher, Democrat of New York. The topic was the “Wild West” airspace 1000 feet above the Hudson River where there is no traffic control AND no plans for any in the future—neither for helicopters nor small planes!

 If you recall, New York City’s summer tourism was tarnished by a tragic, yet avoidable, air crash between a helicopter and a small plane. All of the passengers in both crafts died. Senator Schumacher made the point of how dangerous that air space is, badly in need of traffic control.

Does it take a rocket scientist to figure out something must be done?

Why is Mayor Bloomberg in denial (or overtly irresponsible) about taking action. Even immediately after the air collision he vehemently stated he had no plans to create air space  regulations  with 1,000 feet over the Hudson.

. Nowhere in Europe is such lack of regulated air space allowed. Several of the fatalities were vacationing here from Italy. I remember the words of a woman from Bologna who had just lost her husband: “How can these kinds of things happen?”

Perhaps Mayor Bloomberg has the answer: safety on the budget vs. investment in safety. My question is “what is the cost of life?” Only a lawsuit will tell!

Anti-Piracy System

Posted on August 27, 2009 by Pierette Simpson

“International Maritime Security Network, LLC conducted their first phase testing of the originally designed, non-lethal Triton Shield Anti-Piracy System (APS). Horizon Lines, LLC, a US flagged container ship operator serving US domestic routes and Asia, offered their resources and assets to the project.” This is information was reported by newswire.com on August 26, 2009. The new APS  is intended to Detect, Deter, and Defend. Although its efficacy will be in the use of water—the most available commodity at sea—there is no concrete explanation of how it will work. I must say, it sounds fascinating.

The least original part of the 3-D slogan is that that “Defend” aspect will include trained manpower on board.

Since 90% of all goods are shipped by sea, defending the world economy on water will become one of the most important issues to maintain economic, political, and environmental stability for our planet.  I can only hope we use a clever combination of wisdom and technology.

The Release of Arctic Sea’s Crew

 “We can now say that the operation has been carried out successfully. It was done with brilliance.”

The statement was made on Monday, August 17 by Russia’s ambassador to Nato, < Dmitry Rogozin. He said Nato forces had joined the search but declined to give any details of how the ship had been found or who had seized it.My questions are: if the operation was so brilliant, why not share and brag about it? With all the nations involved, why is Russia the only one speaking for the global community? Why are their conflicting reports about whether the hijackers stayed on board (off the coast of Sweden) or left the Arctic Sea? Does anyone else find that with additional information the story becomes more ambiguous and I’m plausible?

Missing Cargo Ship Arctic Sea Found!

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Pierette Simpson


It’s the most unbelievable nonfiction maritime story ever: the “attack” and disappearance of the Arctic Sea.  First, reportedly attacked by drug enforcement officials…who were then reported as probable perpetrators…who might have been involved with the ship’s disappearance…. etc. The only clear analysis of the entire mystery was given by the general secretary of the seafarers union In Nautilus International. He said it was unbelievable that a vessel could:

“apparently be commandeered by hijackers and sail through the world’s busiest waterway with no alarm being raised and no naval vessel going to intercept it”.

So there is the rub! Why was no alarm raised when the ship disappeared on July 28? Any mariner knows that passenger safety could be compromised if the ship disappears in the English Channel, So why weren’t naval forces from the various countries involved not rushing out to sea?  

Here is my conclusion: I believe that the script of the story is being written intentionally, perhaps in collusion with several countries. For what reason?  I think some entity is testing the waters—no pun intended—to see how far they can go to accomplish their mysterious mission.

The Disappearance of the Arctic Sea

Posted on August 14, 2009 by Pierette Simpson


Not long ago, the world was focused on piracy. Then there were worries centered on on North Korea’s transportation of arms and nuclear technology by sea, as well as potential conflicts over inspecting North Korean ships.

Who could have ever imagined the staging of a new scenario—one resembling the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle or the thrill of “The Hunt for Red October“. The high seas have become a ever-evolving cycle of dangers as evidenced by the disappearance of the Maltese- flagged Artic Sea.

Let’s ponder some of the possibilities: disappearance for insurance claims? Piracy for unknown substances? Accident? Or something unfathomable?

Regardless, the overall question to address is HOW CAN WE SECURE SAFETY FOR OUR MARITIME WORLD? Will it be through sophisticated satellite surveillance? Naval escorts? Maritime police forces? Obviously, something has to be done, not just for sea safety, but for commerce, cruising, and passager purposes.

Do you have any suggestions?

Déjà Vu over the Hudson

Posted on August 9, 2009 by Pierette Simpson

Seven months after the “miracle on the Hudson” with US Airways flight 1549, we are faced with a “tragedy over the Hudson.”  The collision between a Piper passenger plane and a Liberty tourist helicopter resulted in the death of nine people: three persons in the small plane and six in the copter.

One eyewitness described the scene 1100 feet above the river as a thunder-like noise, and then within three seconds everything disappeared from the sky.

Another eyewitness added, “It hit the water head-on — a big wave came up, and the plane was completely submerged,” she said. “I spent a good long time freaking out and crying.”

I’m particularly saddened to hear that the Liberty helicopter was on a sightseeing tour with five Italian passengers from Bologna. The Italian tourists — a woman, two men and two youths, according to the Italian Embassy — were traveling together in a group of about a dozen relatives and friends. Others in the group were taken to a Red Cross center on West 49th Street, where they received counseling

The London Convention on Safety at Sea

Posted on August 8, 2009 by Pierette Simpson


The sources which carry information about the Andrea Doria-Stockholm collision never cease to amaze me.  This time it’s from a church bulletin called Foglio Notizie published in Italy. It not only honored the 53rd anniversary of the sea calamity that mentioned the blessings that resulted from it.

The London Convention of Safety at Sea in 1960 was the first official mandate after the 1956 Andrea Doria-Stockholm affair. The version adopted in 1960 (SOLAS 60) and activated in 1965 was the first major convention adopted by the International Maritime Organization, its first major impact on global maritime law. This development was a response to and a recognition of the increasing technological advances in the maritime industry.

Italy took the SOLAS 60 recommendations seriously when it built and launched its first passenger liner 46 months afterwards. The new ship which replaced the Andrea Doria as the flag ship of the Italian line was the Leonardo da Vinci. It was known for its scale, beauty, and technology

NB. I have checked the Internet for the SOLAS 60 document, but to no avail. I will appreciate it if one of my readers sends me the link to it so that I can read it.
