On 6 May 1916 the first ship-to-shore radio telephone voice conversation was completed, from the battleship USS New Hampshire (BB 25) off the Virginia Capes to Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels in Washington, DC. This photo of New Hampshire was taken in the Hudson River, New York, 27 December 1918. NHHC image NH 2891.
All I need is a Harbor 20. And maybe a bottle of wine. And snacks.
Swimmin' Time by hit folk duo C. A. Hearst and M. Trent hits record stores today. You can and should pre listen to it at NPR. Here's how they describe the album: "Swimmin' Time, the third Shovels & Rope album, also gets wet. Liquid runs through these songs, which mostly take place in the South, with its rising rivers and weak levees and mysterious sinkholes. The title track doesn't describe a vacation but an ominously creeping sea level, maybe one Hearst and Trent see on the estuary where they live in South Carolina. "Stono River Blues" speaks for a subsistence fisherman who remembers the slave rebellion that once took place on that coastal channel, while "Coping Mechanism" is a doo-wop song about intravenous drug use. In "Thresher," a philosophical ghost recounts a historic disaster, the sinking of a U.S. military submarine in 1963. There are also tales of people whose fates are as tricky as a current: petty criminals and homeless wanderers, happy couples who accept each other's faults, a man under arrest who dolefully declares, "I hit my kids, but I don't mean to."

"The islands off the coast are on fire"

A video posted to YouTube shows a fishing guide abandoning ship as a Marlin is brought on board thrashing like crazy. To get out of the way of the big fish the guide goes overboard effectively swapping places with the Marlin. The other guide struggles to release the fat tourist fisherman from his perch before going to help his buddy back into the boat. It's intense, and at 50 seconds the video is even quicker to enjoy than rereading The Old Man and the Sea.
Here is the youtube: Big fish jumps into the boat

Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl theorized Polynesia could have been settled by Peruvians. Scientist in the 1940s thought it was impossible for Peruvian rafts to make the journey. Heyerdahl set to prove them wrong by sailing across the ocean in a replica raft, the Kon Tiki. He made it.
I'm not sure that proves Peruvians settled Polynesia, but it proves there boats could make the journey. More great pictures from this adventure at Huckberry.

An island rose from the sea 250 miles away from the epicenter of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Pakistan last week. Good thing there wasn't a boat anchored there. For details on how this happened click to the NYTimes Science Section
