WELCOME TO AMERICAN ADMIRALTY BOOKS

Today is THURSDAY August 23, 2012.

If you are new to our site we suggest spending a minute and half viewing the short video that we have hyper linked below. After the video has run click on the YouTube "Return Arrow" in the upper left hand corner of the video window for an automatic return here. If you still have questions about what this site is all about click on "INTRODUCTION" in the "special pages" to the right.

Today's postings may be viewed by simply scrolling down. When you reach another image of the S/V Alexander von Humbolt II (above) you have reached the start of yesterday's postings. At some point the scrolling stops and you have to click on the the dates below the "special page" listings to the right to go deeper into past postings. 

 If you have questions about our "Station Identification and Test Pattern" , the image of the S/V Alexander von Humbolt II, or the organization that built the ship; scroll down to our posting of 8/17/12 on the subject which appears just after the 8/17/12 Station ID."

This morning is shaping up as at least a moderately busy news day. But we are starting out a little tongue in cheek with the ANGRY FISH CAM. Always remember that this is the blog post section. Our primary vehicle for maritime news is our NEWS SERVICE.  After the angry fish cam we already have a couple of posts for you on a variety of issues. 

NEWS ALERT:  A NEWS RELEASE FROM THE NATIONAL MARINER'S ASSOCIATION IS UP RIGHT HERE IN THE BLOG POSTS. THE PRESS RELEASE CONCERNS U.S. MERCHANT MARINERS FACING COAST GUARD LICENSE EXAMINATIONS AND A RECENT SUCCESSFUL APPEAL BY THE NMA AGAINST A DETRIMENTAL COAST GAURD ACTION.
