Veron Titan Tug
I'm looking for a copy of the Veron Titan Tug drawing. It is more a building guide and a top and side elevation that a drawing. My late father build it in the 1960's and it survived until 2012 when he passed away. It then disappeared.

Up till last year I was the IT Manager of a company that is one of the world leaders in the use of AI to predict cardiac problems. The company is an result of cardiac research at Oxford University. The process produces incredible and accurate results in seconds and has the support from many of the worlds most respected cardiac units. The cornerstone of AI is the process of โdeep learningโ to create the basis for it to deduce the results. The problem with this AI is that itโs training is flawed and incomplete and the results follow the old rule of โsh1t in = sh1t outโ

I saw the wreck of the Sea Farer the next day from in front of the Mouille Point lighthouse.
My cousin was the radio officer on the ship.

All those ships sunk off the coast of Cape Town as it is the centre of the universe.

Hi Stephen, nothing wrong with their boats, itโs their rudeness and lack of customer service.

This tug operated in Port Elizabeth in South Africa and as far as I know, barges were never used there but I stand to correction on that.

D would be correct as well, if sonar detected them depth charges would follow and they would damage them. ๐คฃ

South Africa run their railways on 3โ6โ which is regarded as โnarrow gaugeโ internationally.
Up to the 80s many routes were still on steam and some of the locos were really impressive โbeastsโ
Like The class 26/26, 16E and GMA class Garrets.

Another one with distorted facts, unless you regard Port Morseby as an aircraft carrier. The Australian bombers that were involved came from land bases. Midway is regarded as the first real naval battle fought by aircraft carriers.๐ค

The wreck found off Haiti in 2003 was thought to be the Santa Maria. Three of the possible answers were the usual suspects so even if you did not know the answer Mr Tenchโs flagship stands out even though the location is wrong.

Today will be my first day back in my workshop since December last year.
Have to look at the โimpulseโ acquisitions I made while I was recovering. A part built Krick U25, a Deans Marine HMS Royal Marine and a Billings White Star. All of which need to be completed or restored.
First I need to install and commission the milling machine that I bought last November.
I intend completing my Titan Tug before starting on the restores.
I soon be able to complete the articles on model boat wiring as well.

I live in Banbury, a market town in North Oxfordshire. It is claimed that Jonathan Swift spent time in Banbury and Gulliver was a local family name in the area. There is stone in a local church yard with the name on it.
Gulliver sailed on the Hopewell in his third voyage which is supposed to end in Japan.

Longstone Lighthouse is the correct answer, Grace Darling was a famous keeper of the lighthouse so Grace Darlingโs Lighthouse is a nickname. So much for AI.

Another one where the correct answer is none of the above. Robin Knox-Johnston Was the first solo non-stop circumnavigation of the world. Slocum stopped in many places in his three year voyage.
