THE SHIPS LOG

These are the sea stories that nobody has ever written down or will write down. You may not believe them all, but you will be entertained by them all. These stories are mostly from Seafarers so there is some salty language. Tuck the kids into their racks, make them sweep the deck, or send them down to the engine room to look for a bucket of steam. These stories are from old folks and young people alike. I am bored on watch and want to hear something new, tell me a sea story...

Episode #29 The Meat Man

September 04, 2020 • J.B. Niday/The Meat Man

Slinging Meat in South Philadelphia... Not what you are thinking! The Meat Man gives us the rundown on having a side hustle. He has sales pitches that scratch itches. He talks about how he ended up in the Merchant Marine, playing black jack in Panama, and his top three scariest moments at sea. The Meat Man gives a history lesson about The Public Health Service Hospitals and how Merchant Mariners used to get their health care. What's it like when you get close to retirement? We also talk about the recently sunken vessel Gulf Livestock 1, and the dredge that exploded in Corpus Christi, Waymon Boyd.
