’Bye, George!
On August 29. 1782 the British vessel Ratal Geoi qc
unexpectedly sank at her mooring in Portsmouth
Harbor. England The ship was being careened for
repairs, a common system of heeling a ship wholly or
partly on its side in order to clean, paint, or repair the
portions of the hull below the water- i
line near the keel In tact, the word , j
careen comes from the Latin tan- r Tv/tv.
no tor keel although it is often
confused with and used h\KT \J\yr
colloquially for career, as in
"the car careened off down
the street ” In any case, we'd guess that the careening
of the Ratal Geoi qe and subsequent sorry sinking, was
not a good career move for anyone involved
The wonder is always new that any sane
man can he a sailor.
