Usage examples of sloop.

Whitman thereupon set up the contention that the New Jersey court had acted without jurisdiction inasmuch as the sloop which was the subject matter of the proceedings had been seized outside the county to which, by the statute under which it had acted, its jurisdiction was confined.

Blackhawke had light sloops called balandras specially built in his home port of Plymouth and rarely had trouble overtaking even the fastest quarry.

The sloops hung on the offing, the hunting brigades, led by Baranof in one of the big skin canoes, paddling for the surf wash and kelp fields of the boisterous, rocky coast, which sea-otter frequent in rough weather.

I have the honour to acquaint you, that the sloop I have the honour to command, after a mutual chase and a warm action, has captured a Spanish xebec frigate of 32 guns, 22 long twelve-pounders, 8 nines, and 2 heavy carronades, viz, the Cacafuego, commanded by Don Martin de Langara, manned by 319 officers, seamen and marines.

Six captains, Sharp, Coxon, Essex, Allison, Row, and Maggott, in four barques and two sloops , met at Point Morant in December 1679, and on 7th January set sail for Porto Bello.

The sloop was shortly after joined by a small squadron under Captain Luttrell, who had been cruizing to intercept two Spanish register-ships, which had taken refuge under the strong fortress of St.

There was Captain Dingbat, navigating the Sloop John B through New York Harbor and calling the Statue of Liberty a Hotsy-Totsy.

To the side of this lake he penetrated with his detachment, and embarking in some sloops and batteaux, provided for the purpose, landed within a mile of fort Frontenac, the garrison of which, consisting of one hun dred and ten men, with a few Indians, immediately surrendered at discretion.

Captain Noseless barked an order, and several rifles fired from the deck of the sloop .

He was once captured by the Spaniards, and taken to Havana, but escaped with a few other prisoners in a canoe, seized a piragua, and with this captured a sloop employed in the turtle trade, and by gradually taking larger and larger prizes, Lewis soon found himself master of a fine ship and a crew of more than fifty men.

At last a northwest wind drove it off the shore, and on the second clear day the little steamer Moonbeam, engaged in the porgy fishery, came up to the cove with a small sloop in tow and three dejected, exhausted, and thoroughly disgusted navigators on board.

In consequence of this intimation, general Amherst, who had for some time employed captain Loring to superintend the building of vessels at Ticonderoga, being resolved to have the superiority on the lake, directed the captain to build with all possible expedition a sloop of sixteen guns, and a radeau eighty-four feet in length, capable of carrying six large cannon.

Stuck in the port of Tonquin awaiting the goods they were to ship back to England, Robinson hit on the plan of purchasing a sloop , giving command of it to Lemuel, and bidding him trade among the islands, returning in several months at which time, the Hope-Well being loaded, they might return.

As I drove my boat in between the sloop of the commander of Shirley Hundred and the canoe of the Nansemond werowance, the two bells then newly hung in the church began to peal and the drum to beat.

Robert has been building period ships, not Middle Ages period but sloops and barkentines, that sort of thing.

Superyacht sinks latest: Investigators reveal where bodies were found as probe looks at 'crew's responsibility'

Italian officials revealed at a news conference there could be "a question of manslaughter" as they opened a shipwreck investigation and said the probe is also looking at the "crew's responsibility".

Prosecutors have given a lengthy news conference this morning on their investigation into the sinking of the Bayesian. 

Read the full report on the prosecutors' probe below...

Marine investigator James Wilkes has been speaking to Sky News after this morning's press conference.

"Naturally, there are more questions than there are substantive answers at the moment - that's the nature of investigative work.

"Something forced that yacht to roll beyond its nominal stability limits, such that it wasn't able to right itself with the ingress of a certain amount of seawater that was coming into the yacht. 

"So the investigators are going to ask themselves one initial question - what must the conditions have been for this to happen? 

"Then they are going to look at the contributing factors to the yacht, sinking, and, and the unfortunate loss of life." 

Prosecutors said this morning that the future of the investigation is reliant on recovering the wreck. 

Mr Wilkes said the yacht is a "major piece of physical evidence in and of itself." 

"It's lying at 50 metres, which is a recoverable depth. 

"If it was significantly deeper, then I'm not sure they'd be considering salvage at this stage or certainly, the salvage question would be a lot more complicated to answer. 

"But if there was the ability to raise that yacht in one piece safely, then it gives the investigators physically more to look at."

Mr Wilkes said he was unsure if the yacht would have a "black box" - called a voyage data recorder in shipping. 

"It would record things like GPS position, heading speed, engine telemetry, whether the radars were on, what they were recording, alarms, communications from the yacht itself, any audio on the bridge.

"But more often than not, these are on merchant ships. The yacht was a commercial yacht in the sense that it could be chartered out so it's quite possible it has a voyage data recorder on, but I'm not sure that it does. I don't know that as a matter of fact," he said.

For days we have been waiting to hear from those on the frontline of this rescue mission.

And today finally, we did. Speaking for an hour and a half to the surprise of local journalists who couldn't believe what they were hearing alongside the world's press.

First-hand accounts of the gruelling, distressing and meticulous work that led to the discovery of the bodies of those missing on board the Bayesian.

Mr Cartosio said he had felt the need to conduct a press conference given the international interest in the event.

Flanking the head public prosecutor were representatives from the fire and rescue service and the members of the coastguard.

Some 11 highly specialised divers spent a total of 4,470 minutes underwater searching the vessels across five days.

By the end, there was little visibility in the water but they persevered and by lunchtime on Friday they had recovered the final missing person.

The discoveries of the bodies of all those onboard was difficult for divers despite their years of experience.

The foyer of the courthouse in Termini Imerese - a town just outside the Sicilian capital and some 10 miles from the scene of the tragedy - was packed. 

Some 100 journalists on white plastic chairs scribbling away as details about the mission and the subsequent investigation were revealed for the first time. 

The world's media heard the scope of the investigation was broad and that the aim of it was to find who is responsible.

Charges relating to shipwreck and manslaughter are being considered but nothing is being ruled out. 

The six bodies that were recovered in the five-day rescue operation were found in the cabins on the left-hand side of the ship, prosecutors reveal. 

They were trying to hide there after the ship sunk and landed on its right-hand side (see 9.24am post).

Watch below...

Prosecutors have confirmed that the captain of the Bayesian will undergo more questioning.

The yacht's captain James Cutfield has already been questioned for more than two hours by Italian prosecutors.

Prosecutors added that Mr Cutfield had been "extremely cooperative". 

They also indicated that British and American authorities are involved in the investigation.

"Well the inquiry is Italian... [but] yes, things are underway from the foreign judicial authorities."

The passengers who died were probably asleep, prosecutors said, and this is the reason they failed to escape. 

Officials suggested that "they were asleep whereas the others weren't".

We heard earlier that it was "clear people were trying to hide in cabins on the left hand side" as the ship landed on its right-hand side after it sank (see 9.24am post).

The first five bodies were found in the first cabin on left hand side and the final body was found in the third cabin.

The prosecutors' press conference is ongoing. 

Maritime director of western Sicily Rear Admiral Raffaele Macauda said that there is "no information so far that the yacht was wrongly placed" when it sank.

There was a "slight deviation of anchorage because of a piece of archaeology nearby", prosecutors added.

Questions on the weather at the time of the sinking have also been raised by journalists in the press conference.

The yacht had been hit by a downburst, according to Raffaele Cammarano, the prosecutor of this specific case.

He told the press conference "from the information we have, it is a downburst we are talking about".

Downbursts are powerful winds that descend from a thunderstorm and spread out quickly once they hit the ground.

He also added more details about the weather at the time of the sinking.

"Apart from extreme events which are being verified by the prosecutor, there was a great deal of visibility," the official said.

"And as you can see from the internet there was forecasts from midnight to 4am, winds of a strength of five from the north-west and the west and a storm alert.

"But there wasn't an alert of a tornado."

He added: "Given that the conditions were such, there wasn't anything to suggest there could be an extreme situation arising.

"There are vessels that can monitor, after all, these events and one would have thought that the captain had taken precautions."

 Autopsies on the victims "have not been done yet", prosecutors said.

They also said that they do not know the "specific" timeline of the investigation and said it depends on the owners of the yacht and maritime authorities. 

"After all, the wreck is 50 metres down," they said.

"Everything depends on the availability of the owners and the timeframe of the retrieval of the wreck and of course all that has to be submitted to the port authorities and in parallel of course there will be the inquiry results, and it's only really then that we will be able to authorise the operation.

"I can't say, like some experts who have already spoken on the subject [say] that it will be eight weeks.

"But the preliminary phase which we requested was to retrieve the wreck and after that we can proceed with the rest. 

"There are specialised companies after all who can proceed with getting up the fuel tanks, for example, first, so that's a priority for us because it has environmental knock-on effects and then we'll work out a proper timeframe - a plan with a timeframe."

Prosecutors are now taking questions from reporters who are gathered. 

One asked about the Bayesian crew's responsibilities considering all but one survived. 

Prosecutors said they were "concentrating on this particular aspect". 

They want to "discover how much they knew and to what extent all the people [passengers] were warned".

"Of course the question is understandable.

"We have tried to find out maximum information possible from the crew members or the survivors - all I would say is that the incident happened really, really suddenly.

"The inquiry will begin with the facts of the shipwreck - that is all I can say at the moment."

There is no legal obligation for the captain, crew and passengers to stay in Italy "but we expect them to cooperate fully in the investigation", prosecutors added.

"If we don't recover the wreck , it would be difficult to fully investigate the sinking," the Italian officials said.

On Lake Geneva, the mail comes by boat

This summer, an all-female crew is making the deliveries.

For the first time in its 108-year history, all five of the letter carriers this summer aboard the U.S. Mailboat Walworth on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin are women.

Known as jumpers, these special carriers leap from the moving boat onto piers to run the mail to mailboxes, collect outgoing mail and then jump back onto the boat, which is moving at 5 mph.

The jumpers serve 75 homes along the shore.

It’s a job that takes athleticism and attention to detail while offering a distinct opportunity for summer hires who make the cut.

Seasonal tryouts for high school and college-age candidates are held every year in early June.

Applicants are also required to have at least one year of experience as an employee of the Lake Geneva Cruise Line, which operates the mailboat.

More than a dozen applicants tried out this year for the five jumper spots. The jumpers also act as tour guides on the 2.5-hour mailboat trip that runs 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily during the summer.

Marie Nickolette and Marissa Torres-Raby are returning mailboat jumpers who said they are proud to be a part of the first all-female team. Both are 20-year-old University of Wisconsin students and former high school track runners.

“It’s the perfect summer job. It’s definitely a good way to get your steps in for the day. I just think it’s really a unique experience that not many people can say they do,” Nickolette said.

Torres-Raby has family ties to the position: Her siblings also worked for the Lake Geneva Cruise Line, including a brother who was a mailboat jumper.

“I wanted to work where they worked,” she said.

Mailboat jumpers are selected based on athletic skill and delivery, their ability to narrate tour information and for their overall enthusiasm.

The boat operates seven days a week and holidays, with daily newspaper delivery included. The jumpers also clean the boat as part of their duties and sell stamped postcards for tourists.

There are three jumpers on the boat during each tour. One is at the back of the boat in case one of the jumpers falls in and needs to be fished out. The jumpers wear life jackets that inflate as soon as they touch the water.

No one has fallen in the water this summer, but Nickolette said she fell in on her first day last year.

When it rains, there’s an art to what they do.

“You have to pattern your feet really quickly, so you don’t just jump and slide on the piers,” she said.

The Lake Geneva Cruise Line has a team of veteran mailboat jumpers who will take over the delivery route when the college students return to school before the last weeks of the summer season.

“All of our employees think it is a neat and unique way for our customers to receive mail, and of course they do not mind getting to hand off some of their packages,” said local Postmaster Christopher Taylor Jr.

Customers must request mailboat delivery each year, including filling out a change-of-address form.

USPS resumes normal delivery for the lakeside addresses once the season, which runs mid-June to mid-September, ends.

“This is a tradition the Lake Geneva Post Office is known for throughout the country, and we get many visitors from various parts of the country inquiring on the mailboat,” Taylor said.

Greek authorities rescued 147 migrants trying to reach the country in small boats

Greek authorities say they have rescued nearly 150 migrants trying to reach the country by sea in small boats over a 24-hour period, including one that had 115 people crammed into it

ATHENS, Greece — Greek authorities rescued nearly 150 migrants trying to reach the country by sea in small boats over a 24-hour period, officials said Wednesday, including one that had 115 people crammed into it.

A coast guard statement said the vessel was located in distress Tuesday off the eastern Aegean Sea island of Lesbos that’s close to the Turkish coast. Three patrol vessels picked up 67 men, 27 women and 21 children, who were taken to a migrant reception center on Lesbos.

The boat sank shortly after the passengers were taken off it, the statement said. It was one of the largest single boatloads of migrants to reach the island from Turkey in recent months.

Smugglers typically target Greek islands close to Turkey’s coastline, but in recent months they have increasingly chosen longer routes from Libya to Crete , much farther south, and from Turkey through the central Aegean Sea, where coast guard patrols are more relaxed.

The coast guard also said Wednesday that 25 men and seven boys were rescued from a boat having difficulty 30 nautical miles (35 miles) south of Crete. It quoted the migrants as saying they had spent three days crossing the Mediterranean Sea after boarding the vessel in eastern Libya.

Two of the men were arrested on suspicion of belonging to a migrant smuggling ring that had organized the voyage.

On Tuesday, the coast guard said a total 146 migrants had been rescued in small boats off Crete and in the eastern Aegean.

According to data from the United Nations refugee agency, nearly 30,000 migrants have arrived illegally in Greece so far this year, slightly fewer than in Italy and Spain. Most are Afghan, Syrian or Egyptian nationals.

The number of migrants arriving illegally in Greece has eased slightly this year following a post-pandemic spike in 2023.
