I didn't know anyone on the ship but a buddy did.
As related to him, the guy was in the 1st class quarters taking a shower when the anchor flukes of the Capricorn pealed the side of the ship open & he realized what was happening when he was suddenly standing stark naked outside.
He was very lucky to make it btw as the Blackthorn rolled over on her Port side where he was standing.

Interesting story for you… after my wife and I had been going steady for awhile and we're comfortable with each other she asked me to show and teach her some things. One of those things, being from the PRC, is that she had never seen any type of porn before, ever at 33 years old. So she asked me to show her some "sex movies". So I did. And she was like "no,no,no I want to see the 2 women sex movies". Then she got horny. Then we banged to lesbian porn. True story.

I've watched what some may consider an unhealthy amount of lesbian porn. I'm convinced that more than 80% of it is made my straight women for straight men.

Of the the remaining 20%, what would you recommend? I'm confused.

The transition from a traditional wooden sole to one of vulcanized rubber may be attributed to Charles Goodyear and Leverett Candee.
Charles Goodyear has been around for centuries he was self-taught American chemist and manufacturing engineer who develop vulcanized rubber.
Leverett Candee was an industrialist, businessman, and pioneer rubber manufacturer. Charles Goodyear offered Candee a license to use the rubber vulcanization process he had just discovered, and by February 4th 1824, J.W. Goodrich introduced rubber galoshes to the public.
Today’s YouTube video below gives you brief of the history of rubber through history shared to by user name (agpaedu). As we celebrate the invention of how on February 4th 1824, J.W. Goodrich introduced rubber galoshes to the public.

Today on Days to Remember we celebrate how on February 4th 1824, J.W. Goodrich introduced rubber galoshes to the public. When we think of galoshes we think of rain or snow, and something we can wea…

1809 Robert Fulton patents the steamboat
1765, Little Britain Township, PA
1815, New York, NY
Fulton painted Benjamin Franklin's portrait and had two works accepted by the Royal Academy in London.
Robert Fulton, a savvy artist-turned-technologist, took steamboat inventions and innovated them into the first viable commercial steamboat service.
Portrait Painter
Although Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, as is commonly believed, he was instrumental in making steamboat travel a reality. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career would take him to Europe -- and into the orbit of people with the power to back him politically and financially.
New Career
Fulton ventured into London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin's portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in canal and shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton's vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry Ford, Fulton's genius lay not in invention but in adaptation for the marketplace.
Submarine
Fulton was not focused entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first successful submarine, which he had built for the British Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton's partner, Robert Livingstone, who had negotiated the Louisiana Purchase from France, obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York's Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.
Steamboat Service
To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship's bottom was flat and its stern was square. Clermont made its debut on August 17, 1807, steaming upriver from New York to Albany, and it soon entered into commercial service. The hilly terrain of New York made water travel faster than land travel, and Fulton's boat -- formerly known as "Fulton's Folly" -- was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and raking in the profits.
Instrumental Transport
Fulton's innovation left quite a legacy. Steamboat travel was instrumental to the industrial revolution in America, helping manufacturers transport raw materials and finished goods quickly. It also opened up the American continent to exploration, settlement, and exploitation. Fulton died of pneumonia in February 1815, having created the service that carried Americans into a prosperous future.
