The Sperm Whale Throat Sea Story.

As a young non-commissioned officer, this was one of my favorites not because it pulled rank, but because it pointed out accepting reality is necessary. A Master Chief told me this and it stuck – I was trying to buck the system somehow, as if the system would suddenly change because of my wishes. I was, of course, wrong, but that’s part of being a young NCO. He looked at me, deadpan, after a…

The Ghost Ship: A Voyage into the Heart of Madness

The sea has always been an area of mystery and surprise, however now and again it can also be a supply of terror. One such story is that of the Ghost Ship, a reputedly deserted vessel that appears within the harbor, most effective to lure folks who board it in a nightmarish journey. In this weblog post, we are able to delve into the legend of the Ghost Ship, exploring its history, the eerie reports of these who've encountered it, and the possible reasons within the returned of its malevolent cause.

The Legend of the Ghost Ship: The first said sighting of the Ghost Ship dates decrease lower back to the 18th century, even as a British naval vessel encountered a mysterious supply adrift in the Atlantic. As they approached, they determined a few element unusual - the supply appeared to be shifting of its very personal accord, without a symptoms of life on board. Despite their initial hesitation, the team decided to analyze, and that is even as the nightmare commenced.

Those who have boarded the Ghost Ship have stated brilliant occurrences - doorways slamming shut on their very own, disembodied voices whispering of their ears, and an unshakeable feeling of being watched. Some have even claimed to have visible ghostly apparitions roaming the decks, their eyes black as coal, their presence chilling to the bone.

Theories Behind the Ghost Ship: So, what is probably at the back of the Ghost Ship's malevolent motive? Some agree with it's the spirit of a former captain, doomed to sail the seas for eternity, in search of revenge on the residing. Others suppose it's a manifestation of the sea itself, a bodily embodiment of the ocean's fury and energy.

One concept shows that the Ghost Ship is a vessel from every different size, a portal to a realm in which the prison recommendations of physics do no longer have a look at. According to this concept, people who board the ship are trapped in a in no way-finishing loop, reliving the identical horrors again and again.

The Psychological Explanation: Some professionals advise a more mental cause of the Ghost Ship's eerie popularity. They argue that the deliver's odd occurrences may be attributed to the electricity of notion, blended with the herbal worry of the unknown. When people board the deliver, they'll be already primed for a daunting enjoy, and their minds play tricks on them, developing the phantasm of ghostly apparitions and supernatural events.

Conclusion: The Ghost Ship remains a mystery, a enigma that keeps to fascinate and terrify individuals who dare to approach it. Whether you consider in the supernatural or the mental clarification, one element's for certain - the Ghost Ship is a reminder of the ocean's strength and our own vulnerability. So, the following time you're out at the water, be careful for the Ghost Ship, lest you find yourself trapped in its nightmarish voyage.

Pearl from the Depths

Two divers, equipped with all the necessary gear for deep-sea diving, ventured into the hidden corners of the sea in search of pearls. These waters were unclaimed, yet held countless dangers. Sometimes divers returned with distorted memories, or didn't return at all. Yet, rumors of an incredible pearl, shining brighter than any star, compelled them to search.

One day, after morning preparations, they set out in pursuit of this pearl. The dive was long. The surrounding silence was only broken by the faint sounds of water and the bubbling of oxygen tanks. The water grew colder, the light dimmer, and the pressure increasingly intense. They swam side by side, communicating through hand gestures, their primary means of expression in this silent world.

Delving deeper, a crevice revealed itself, within which lay a majestic shell, reminiscent of a precious gem on a throne.

Drawing closer, they were met with a sight of sheer magic. The pearl inside the shell glowed in a manner indescribable by words. Its luminance seemed to tell tales of thousands of years spent at the ocean floor.

One of them gestured, "Are you sure it's safe?". The other responded with a silent yet confident sign, as if to say, "All will be well."

But, as the first reached out for the pearl, everything changed. The crevice began to close, and they realized they were facing a living creature, its trap now sprung.

The water's force pushed the second diver away. He tried to rescue his companion, but the latter, seemingly under a spell, resisted, preventing his extraction from the monster's jaws. The struggle depleted the second diver's oxygen supply.

He reached the surface but changed. His gaze was distant, his memory warped, becoming one of those unfortunate souls who fell prey to the sea's depths and returned no longer the same.

In Biblioteca puoi scoprire autori e opere che non conoscevi o di cui avevi sentito parlare ma che ancora non avevi avuto modo di leggere. Ed è per questo che abbiamo deciso di dedicare un angolo alla scoperta di questi "tesori nascosti".

Oggi l'autore prescelto è Herman Melville e l'opera "Billy Budd".

Billy Budd fu ritrovato e pubblicato postumo nel 1924 e può essere interpretato come una metafora della natura, poiché essendo egli "radicalmente buono" non può integrarsi nella società umana (considerata cattiva e corrotta) e di conseguenza di fronte all'ingiustizia Billy non può parlare, ma solo agire, proprio come la natura che è muta. Melville, come nelle altre sue "sea stories", ci porta su una nave della marina inglese in un luogo imprecisato del Mediterraneo, nell'estate del 1797 durante la guerra tra l’Inghilterra e la Francia napoleonica. La vicenda si svolge alcuni mesi dopo il Grande Ammutinamento del Nore, cui sono seguiti durissimi provvedimenti e il timore per atti di ribellione simili si aggira come uno spettro su ogni nave della flotta reale inglese, anche in seguito agli arruolamenti forzati cui la marina è costretta a ricorrere per cercare di resistere nella guerra in corso.

Billy Budd, il bel marinaio ventunenne protagonista della vicenda, è stato a sua volta obbligato a lasciare il mercantile sul quale prestava servizio per diventare gabbiere di parrocchetto sulla nave di Vere, serio e valoroso comandante attento alla disciplina, riservato e dall'indole sognatrice. Un uomo poco incline al cameratismo forse, ma onesto e giusto, che come il resto dell’equipaggio prende fin da subito in simpatia il buon Billy, trovatello analfabeta che nulla sa del suo passato se non di essere stato lasciato ancora in fasce in un cesto foderato di seta appeso alla porta di un brav'uomo di Bristol che lo ha allevato come un figlio. Le nobili origini traspaiono dal contegno e da quella finezza di lineamenti che ne fanno il “bel marinaio”, giovane e innocente, la cui perfezione è rotta solo da un lieve difetto di balbuzie che lo coglie nei momenti di tensione.

Billy, proprio per il buon carattere e la sua serietà, finisce per suscitare l’invidia di un membro della nave, il perfido sottufficiale John Claggart: maestro d’armi di aspetto gradevole ma di quella bellezza velata da un’indole malvagia, misterioso, ossequioso nei riguardi dei superiori, fa del bel marinaio oggetto di attenzione particolare nei suoi compiti di garante della disciplina. Billy, semplice e ingenuo, inizialmente non crede alle parole amichevoli di chi lo vuol mettere in guardia dall'invidia di Claggart ma presto il caso e la malizia del sottufficiale conducono il giovane marinaio verso la rovina. Quando, ingiustamente accusato di ammutinamento, Billy reagirà violentemente in un folle avventato gesto, questa sarà la causa ultima della tragica caduta. Mentre il capitano Vere è straziato dal dilemma sulla sorte di Billy, il marinaio va incontro al proprio destino forte della sua integrità morale, preservando fino all'ultimo l’innocenza e la bontà del suo cuore.

Nel tratteggiare il carattere del protagonista, Melville regala al lettore un personaggio molto interessante che dimostra una notevole complessità psicologica pur nello spazio del romanzo breve. Il punto focale della vicenda e della tragica caduta di Billy non è l’accusa di ammutinamento, presto liquidata, ma il folle gesto da lui compiuto: quando il giovane, incapace di rispondere a parole alle accuse, colpisce a morte il suo antagonista sarà proprio questa azione ad essergli fatale. In tempi come questi e secondo un integerrimo capitano quale Vere è, la mancanza di rispetto della disciplina e dei superiori deve essere punita duramente, anche se a farne le spese è un’anima pura come Billy.

E nell'universo biblico-simbolico di Melville, Vere diviene al tempo stesso Dio che sacrifica il Figlio prediletto per salvare l’umanità (quello stesso figlio che aveva mandato tra gli uomini affinché la sua anima innocente fosse luce in quegli anni oscuri, allo stesso modo di Billy) ma anche Abramo pronto ad immolare Isacco. Sicuro della necessità di punire con la morte l’infrazione della legge, Vere è moralmente dilaniato e terribilmente dispiaciuto della sorte toccata al bel marinaio: egli chiama a decidere la corte marziale (è strano che il capitano anziché aspettare di trovarsi di fronte all'ammiraglio, come la legge prevede in casi simili, affretti la decisione sulla sorte di Billy verso una celere conclusione) in un gesto che inizialmente pare dettato dal desiderio di non prendersi la responsabilità dell’atto e in generale rimettere ad altri la decisione sul destino del marinaio, ma poi di fronte all'indecisione degli ufficiali lascia il posto di testimone per suggerire quale sia l’unica decisione possibile, seppur a malincuore.Il buon carattere di Billy, ma soprattutto questo suo aspetto spirituale contribuiscono ad alimentare la leggenda intorno al bel marinaio la cui storia, accenna l’autore nei capitoli finali, si è tramandata sui giornali seppur un poco discosta dai fatti reali e che ha ispirato una ballata messa a chiusura del romanzo (ma che pare sia stata la prima cosa su cui Melville ha lavorato e da cui quindi è nata la storia). Ballata dolce e struggente sull'ultima notte di Billy, passata ai ceppi in attesa della morte tra delirio e rassegnazione che nel corso degli anni ha ispirato molti altri autori.

Herman Melville (1819 – 1891) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e critico letterario statunitense. Tra le maggiori personalità dell'Ottocento americano, esplorò problematiche basilari dell'esistenza quali il rapporto tra uomo e natura, i limiti della morale comune, l'essenza del male. Tali temi sono compiutamente espressi in "Moby Dick" (1851), che solo a distanza di molti decenni verrà indicata come una delle maggiori opere della narrativa di tutti i tempi. In essa, la dissennata caccia del capitano Ahab alla balena bianca acquista i contorni di un dramma faustiano in cui l'uomo, nel tentativo folle di trascendere i limiti propri della sua condizione, condanna sé stesso e i suoi seguaci al baratro morale, all'annichilimento della ragione, alla morte. Melville approdò alla letteratura dopo aver trascorso alcuni anni come marinaio nella marina mercantile prima, su una baleniera poi.

I sailed* with a guy who like... really wanted a dick tattoo. He was from the states and tattoo artists there basically would tell him "sure, I'll do it for a handling fee" that would price him out so he'd go away. smart moves, honestly. This guy had to be talked to by the Chief Engineer about how even if he took showers he had to wash his clothes, no tattoo artist could be paid enough, in my opinion, for that bullshit

ANYWAY we pulled into Taiwan, every artists response was 🙅‍♂️ 🙅 which loosely translates to 'please take ur stank ass dick elsewhere thx bb'

We pulled into port Papua New Guinea and during our port brief when the Chief Mate mentioned whatever mandatory security brief he made eye contact with dick-tattoo-guy and said very clearly "this is a very religious country, I would advise against any tattoo seeking in this port" Dude of COURSE had a few too many gin and tonics (why do sailors love G&Ts!?!?) and wandered over to a tattoo parlour not understanding the difference between Henna and Tattoos??? I just need to explain WE'VE MADE PORT IN INDIA AND SRI LANKA, HOW THE FU-- ok, anyway, so this guy upsets the shit outta this old lady henna both worker on the side of the road and we drag his ass back to the ship, he gets put on 24hr duty so he's not allowed off the boat.

We pull into port Thailand (shit, I think? I was taking on fuel and didn't get off the boat, it could have been Cambodia I'm #ignorant) and this dude goes and GETS HIS TATTOO DONE in clothes so stanky that the ENTIRE CONTROL ROOM stank of him after he left our morning brief for an HOUR after he left I just... okay someone touched you, wtf?

Dude came back having bought one of those artsy canes vendors sell on the road? limping along. Spent the entire day legs spread eagle in his rack complaining to anyone who walked by his stateroom hatch.

A thing to note about merchant sailors is that we wear many hats. Sure, I was an engineer, but when a fire drill happened I became a firefighter. When a security drill happened I was suddenly a security guard. When a lifeboat drill happened I was suddenly a coxswain. Etc. So this guy's billet (list of jobs) included being a nozzleman (on the front end of one of our fire hoses) and the next day when we took departure the Mate was like oh my god we gotta... we gotta fuck with this guy?? right????

So the mate called a fire drill. This fuckin guy limps down to his DC locker, SCREAMING in pain as he pulls on his turnouts (firefighting gear) and limps up the ladderwell to where our "fire" is. Everyone is cracking up, rolling out hoses, doing our thing. and then we're supposed to enter the space, so we go on air, and I put my hand on his back, grab the hose and... he just starts limping. Mate fucking FREAKS OUT "THIS IS A FIRE SPACE YOU HAVE TO CROUCH!" dude's like "I CAN'T FUCKING CROUCH! I'M INJURED HERE!" and mate screams back "WHY'D YOU GET FLAMES TATTOO'D ON YOUR DICK IF IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP YOU FIGHT FIRES?!" and this guy, this guy responds in the most indignant way, "I didn't get FLAMES! I got my SIGNATURE!" AND WE LOST IT

dude got is own fucking signature on his dick!? like... what?! we never saw it, I hope to god he was lying but holy shit what... who... amazing. Don't sail, kids. It gives you brain worms.

*(merchant sailors, not navy or coast guard which makes it funnier because he couldn't just call out for a recovery day after this fiasco, and had to work through the pain)

My dick has flames painted on the side and all the men love it
