Bermuda Islander' tests free-fall lifeboat
It's not every day something falls off the back of a cargo container ship on purpose, and it's not every day that a land-lubber like me gets to witness it.
But that's exactly what this reporter was privileged enough to see when Bermuda International Shipping Ltd (BISL) recently conducted a deployment drill of its free-falling lifeboat, stored at the stern of its ship, the 'Bermuda Islander'.
About four crew members climbed into the orange, torpedo-like lifeboat while the 'Islander' was docked in Hamilton Harbour near No. 7 Shed. Standing on dry land with camera at the ready, the Bermuda Sun was able to capture the craft rocketing into the water at a 45-degree angle.
The free-fall lifeboat is 25 feet in length, carries 12 people, and is able to travel on its own for 24 hours at a maximum speed of 6 knots.
The craft's passengers strap themselves in tight to the bow-facing seats, in order to prevent being injured upon impact.
Drills involving the ship's life rafts are performed monthly, but the free-fall lifeboat is tested every four months. The 'Bermuda Islander' is owned and operated by BISL and Meyer Freight act as its local agents.

NATCHEZ Walking through the Natchez City Cemetery with her camera in hand, Aimee Guido never expected to be responsible for creating artwork to represent the cemetery.
But that is exactly what she was asked to do when she was approached about creating a T-shirt design for the Angels on the Bluff cemetery tour.
Knowing she was a talented artist, Micki Hartley, board member for the Natchez City Cemetery, asked her if she had the time to design a new T-shirt for the annual cemetery tours.
She knew I was busy with student teaching, but I said of course, Guido said. It is an honor to be asked to do this.
The art education major at Delta State University returned to Natchez to do her student teaching at McLaurin Elementary School in Natchez
