Lighting & smoke maker 😭 Spoke to soon had a major water leak & it looks like my home made stuffing box & propeller shaft has a problem so it will need replacing with a store bought one.

My AI is so smart & it's answer was The first steel-hulled ocean liner was the SS Great Britain. Launched in 1843, it was designed by the renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This ship was notable not only for its steel hull but also for being the first to combine steam power and a propeller

Over the many years in a model boat club I have let kids sail my models but lately the little kids have filled my models up with water & that destroys the receivers in the model SO my solution to this is to use the many Tylenol head ache pill bottles to keep receivers dry. So if I let any kids run the Puffer hopefully Only a few other electronic parts will get wet 🤔

My wife thinks my Puffer looks like Noah's Ark I think it's because of all the rain we have had here since the hurricane season has started . My next stuff are Navigation lights doors & a little life boat. I'm so tired of buying these things & paying big bucks to get them after 2 weeks so I'll just make them my self. P.S I like a messy work space. Used spar varnish on the deck & hatch covers .

My AI answer was ( The first identified slave shipwreck, discovered in 1995, is the São José Paquete de Africa. This Portuguese ship sank off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, in 1794 while transporting enslaved Africans to Brazil. Its discovery provided crucial insights into the transatlantic slave trade) Maybe the ship had two names.😋 Canada is up to 97% good for us.

Here's what my AI had to say about the flat bottom on a Puffer ( The Clyde puffer is a type of small, coal-fired, single-masted cargo ship that was primarily built on the Forth and Clyde Canal in Scotland. These ships played a crucial role in providing a supply link around the west coast and the Hebrides1.
Key Characteristics:
Bluff bows and a flat bottom: This design allowed them to beach and unload at low tide, which was essential for supplying remote settlements without suitable piers.

I have built to many tug boats & we have a member in our club that has a Clyde Puffer and he hardly ever runs it so I've decided to build one .The bottom isn't flat but no one will know that except me & anyone that reads this. I have a lot of finishing up on the model but that's always the fun part adding doors windows more planking etc. etc.

Because I can't figure out how to download a video on this web site I just pause the video & photographed the image of my Yard Sale Find It was such a lovely Canada Day morning went to the pool & ran the model checked for leaks, balanced model with a little lead test O/K I did have a tiny leak which I think will be fixed up with a little hull paint.

Sealed up the stern area . Used 2 part epoxy on a table a while back & had some left that I mixed up to seal the interior so it don't leak. Epoxy can be very expensive these days.

Installation of Motor, Prop Shaft , Stuffing box & stern cut off for prop & rudder installation. I have started to make my own prop shafts from a brass rod & 4mm thread for prop I just hope it don't leak to much I'll use grease in the stuffing box that's a brass tube that prop shaft goes through .There was a lot of cutting needed so propeller has clearance. All these parts will need to be epoxied in place. Then stern area can be re-shaped .

It was a great day to sit out side & do a little cutting & gluing So I decided that my Galion will need a rounded stern if it's going to be a tug boat .Because Ernest Shackleton ship the Quest was found by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the wreck was 1,280 feet below the surface of the northwest Atlantic Ocean roughly 15 nautical miles off the coast of Labrador. It’s sitting on its keel, with its broken mast lying on the seafloor nearby. I thought that that could also be made into a R/C ship .Can't make up my mind .

In Edward Lear’s whimsical poem “The Jumblies,” the Jumblies famously went to sea in a Sieve1. The poem begins with the lines:
“They went to sea in a Sieve, they did, In a Sieve they went to sea…”
This nonsensical and adventurous tale captures the spirit of the Jumbles’ determination to set sail despite the impracticality of their chosen vessel. ( Whimsical beings with Green Heads & Blue Hands ) what ?

Hasn't taking me a lot of time to make up my mind with the yard sale stuff . I do not like building static classic sailing ships but they do have real nice hulls so out came the saw & tug boat hull created I found a tug on google images so I will use that as a template. P/S the sail boat hull is the Graupner Optimist That I need to finish some day maybe 🤔

On the weekend spotted a yard sale . The older gentleman had restored a model he had built but the cat got to it . So because of his age he had decided to no longer have a hobby . We talk about model boats & stuff & he gave the wood to me & the 3 models . Future Build blog projects Maybe but wood is always handy to have in case power goes out.

The countries bordering the Baltic Sea are Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany1. Among these, Germany is on the opposite side of the Baltic Sea from the others My stupid AI can't answer that question so I will take a guess. And I was wrong as usual.

Was asked for more info . So here are a few photos . This mini humidifier uses water only to generate fake smoke no smelly baby oil & varsol odor 50%-50% mix for Graupner smokers .I get the power to run unit from the receiver battery port as the unit uses a USD port to make it work so I got a old servo & cut the wire off it removed the signal white wire & used the black & red wires to power up unit . I have to turn model on then power up the Humidifier to start fake smoke put the cabin on model & away we go. Make sure Positive & Negative are put in proper receiver slots Please don't damage receiver if it's plugged in wrong.

Pick it up a few years ago & didn't do a build log or maybe I did But I just remembered to add the model to my Harbor collection Can't put run time or speed on attributes not determined yet P/S I did do a build log on this one & I found some rivets I had from work . I had to put name tags on the guys coveralls at work & I guess when I retired they ended up coming home with me.
