Any Shellbacks or Domain of the Golden Dragon Members Here?

I was Army, wrong person to ask. Pops? Both probably.
 
Shellback SS Cleveland crossing the Atlantic from Gulf Coast to Mombassa 1999.
 
Never went south, but King Neptune visited us during a Bluenose trip at Classified Location on Classified Date.
 
I am also a Bluenose and a Pollywog, which is frustrating given the number of times I've been through the Straits of Malaca. You couldn't deviate 1 degree south? Seriously?

On ships with long passageways where you need structural support of a steel bulkhead, but don’t need watertight separation, there will be oval shaped cutouts in the steel bulkhead that you can walk through. But you have to pick up your feet as you do it or you’ll kill your shins on the ‘knee knocker’.

It would probably be more appropriate to call them shin crushers, but tradition is a hard thing to overcome at sea….
 
I have the bluenose and Order of the Ditch (Panama Canal), as well. Oh, yeah, Plankowner, too. Good times.

Don't miss the knee knockers, or having to go up or down 3 decks to eat or go to bed..........
