Flying dutchman
| Словарь яхтенных терминов |
- Летучий голландец
- A famous marine spectre ship, formerly supposed to haunt the cape of good hope. the tradition of seamen was that a dutch skipper, irritated with a foul wind, swore by donner and blitzen, that he would beat into table bay in spite of god or man, and that, foundering with the wicked oath on his lips, he has ever since been working off and on near the cape. the term is now extended to false reports of vessels seen.
- This famous maritime apparition, which has become the generic term for any ghost ship, is essentially a reprise of the medieval german tale of the north sea wraith. it is unclear whether “dutchman” refers to the ship or its master. if the latter, some sources point to the real captain bernard fokke (see libera nos specter), while others give him fictitious names such as ramhout van damme, joost van straaten or, most frequently, hendrick (or cornelius) vanderdecken (“of the deck”). versions of the story are varied and legion, but most tell of a hard-driving 17th century dutch sea captain, who encountered a brutal storm off the cape of good hope, but refused to enter the safe anchorage of table bay. after days of battling fierce winds, there was a terrible crunch as the ship struck a submerged rock. as she went down the master stood on deck screaming blasphemously, “i shall round this cape, even if i have to sail until doomsday! god himself cannot stop me!” over the ensuing centuries, thousands of sailors claim to have seen the dreaded vessel. even today, superstitious mariners believe that those who look into the eye of a storm off the cape of good hope may be confronted by a phantom indiaman, its luminous hull surmounted by mists instead of sails. unless they quickly look away, they will be damned to join the dutchman’s ghostly crew, sailing for eternity into the teeth of the raging storm. here comes the flying dutchman comes fast through hissing spray and driven by the tempest he heads for table bay with bird-like speed he’s borne along before the howling blast but never can cast anchor, for the bay’s already passed (old english folksong) the term has become generic. spectral ships, moving rapidly under sail on windless days, have also been called “flying dutchmen,” with the first printed reference being in george barrington’s voyage to botany bay (1795): in the night watch some of the people saw, or imagined they saw, a vessel standing for them under a press of sail, as though she would run them down: the story spread like wild-fire, and the supposed phantom was called the flying dutchman. one of the more famous sightings was by prince george (later king george v) and his elder brother albert when they were midshipmen, cruising around the world in a wooden training frigate. they were accompanied by their tutor, canon john neale dalton who, in 1886, published the cruise of hms bacchante 1879–1882, in which he claims they were off the coast of australia on the night of 11/12 july, 1881 when: at 4 a.m. the flying dutchman crossed our bows. a strange red light as of a phantom ship all aglow, in the midst of which light the masts, spars, and sails of a brig ... stood out in strong relief as she came up on the port bow.... thirteen persons altogether saw her. flt 124 more recently, on 3rd august 1942, hms jubilee was heading for simonstown, the royal navy base near cape town, when an unidentified schooner was sighted, moving rapidly under full sail, even though there was no wind. the officer of the watch, lieutenant davies, altered course to avoid a collision and entered the event in the ship’s log. sharing the watch was sub-lieutenant nicholas monsarrat, the novelist, who said the incident inspired his two-volume work the master mariner (published posthumously) which tells of an elizabethan seaman doomed to sail the world’s seas until the end of time.

[2] a flatbottomed dutch sailing vessel, distinguished by a high stern resembling a gothic turret. fly-by-wire: a system in which primary maneuvering control of submarines is achieved by replacing traditional hydraulic and mechanical systems with computers and software that transmit command signals, via redundant fiber optic cable networks, to control surfaces. with this system, the four traditional submarine watch stations can be reduced to two chief petty officers serving as pilot and co-pilot. in place of traditional wheeled control yokes, each pilot operates a flat-panel touch screen (or joystick) to input orders. control algorithms in the computer system then direct the submarine to the desired course and depth. secondary mechanical indicators—a gauge for depth measurement, an inclinometer to indicate pitch, and a clinometer to show heel or roll—are only required to backup primary digital indicators on the flat panel displays.
