The logistics of getting the food aboard ships, some in widely scattered areas, is no smalt job in itself. The expert way that these special meals are prepared is a tribute to the outstanding ef forts of men in the Steward's De partment in each vessel. As one AB said: "There's just no way that I can think of for improving these meals--unless, of course, they could somehow be served in our homes where all of our families couid enjoy them t think my wife gets a little jealous when she reads the menu each year," L,| EXX-MOR-003838 TAFFRAIL TALK WITH CHRISTMAS soon upon us, Michael Sharik, 3rd mate in the Esso Chester, is using most of his spare time to produce personal ized Christmas cards. Actually, he started making Christmas cards several months ago when he and his wife decided to send "some thing out of the ordinary" in the way of Christmas greetings to relatives and friends. Mike bought a book on how to carve designs in linoleum. He also bought some tools, a few pieces of fleck board, ink, and a small press for printing the cards. After studying the book, he developed some half-dozen de signs which he carefully carved out of linoleum, as shown here. It takes about five hours to carve a scene, depending upon how com plicated it is, but only a few min utes to print a card. He attaches the linoleum to a fleck board block cut to size, inks it up, puts it in his small press, applies pressure, and zingo, another unusual, origi nal, and personalized Christmas card Is printed. ST --- MANUEL L. CARDOSO, sent in this picture taken in Fatima in central Portugal. Mr.. Cardoso, who made three trips to Portugal to visit relatives this year, returned to the U.S. recently and is now chief cook in the Esso Baltimore. "I plan to iive in Lisbon, Portugal, when i retire and my monthly pension should permit me to live there like a king," he said. He pointed out that a good house can be built in Lisbon for about $5,000. MARLiNESPIKE SEAMANSHIP is an art that is fast disappearing from our culture. However, Alban A, Antonio, AB, and Bruce S van der Linde, third mate, both in the Esso Seattle, are doing their part in keeping the art alive, as shown in the accompanying picture. The three rope dolls on top of the settee are made with braided manila. Each has individual fingers and each took about 25 hours to make But the two seamen have other talents, too. The kite, for example, is one of West Indies design put together by Alban. The picture frame is constructed from hundreds of burned matchsticks. On the seat of the settee are a square rope mat and a white square-knotted belt, with the rest of the belts being a "V" pattern of reds, whites, yeilows, and blacks--ail half-stitched, which Bruce says is one of the- most painstaking of all designs. Also pictured on the seat are an ocean plat or companion mat, a prolong mat, and a set of six burned matchstick coasters in the process of being put to gether on two boards. "The spare time spent working the line and on these other objects has provided needed relaxation and a definite satis faction in producing something useful," the two shipmates said Page 2 Esso Fleet News EXX-MOR-003839 COPfBj FROM THE CGfIJLEf TIONS !N THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN HISTO THE UNIVERSITY OFTEXAS AT Austin New Method For Delivering Stores New metal containers equipped with rubber tire wheels, such as the one shown here being loaded at Texas Marine & industrial Sup ply Company in Houston, are be ing used by the Marine Depart ment as a relatively inexpensive method to reduce costs of de livering stores to vessels arriving at Baytown Texas Marine, which delivers a major portion of provisions and stores used in company ships, fills containers with packaged goods which they mark for deliv ery to the proper department aboard ship When fuli, containers are sealed, rolled into the sup plier's truck, and hauled the 35 miles to Baytown where they are unloaded by a special truckmounted winch and rolled to shipside, a distance of about one block. Each container, fitted with eye pads, is then lifted by dock winch to the deck of the vessel where the stores handling gang remove the packages and deliver them to the Steward, Deck, or Engine department, as marked. In addition to saving time and reducing labor costs, the new method has several advantages over the old way which required unloading cases by hand and stacking them onto push carts for delivery to shipside. The contain ers are large enough to eliminate repeat trips from truck to ship, and they reduce chances of break age, eliminate comingling of stores materials in supplier's trucks when delivering more than one vessel order, and promote safety through less lifting and handling.
