8. Professional Mariner- John Gandy

from Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense Hosted by Captain Johann Steinke

John Gandy had a military and civilian maritime career, and now (when not sailing) spends his time restoring old vessels and keeping history alive. In this interview John discusses in detail, little-known vessel handling techniques as well as interesting, little-known navigational aid knowledge. Our conversation also delves into his career, history, sailors' superstition, torpedoes, cruise missiles, our vessel (the AJ Meerwald) and other topics. Books mentioned in the Episode include... "The Last of the Tin Can Sailors" by James D. Hornfisher "Black Jacks" by W. Jeffery Bolster. "The Indispensables" (About the Marble head Mass. Regiment) by Patrick K.
