An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., also referred to as a Chadburn, is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed.

This one is located on the S.S. American Victory located in Tampa, Florida.

Headless Dinosaur

~ Tim Jeffers ~ 2 Comments

 Just outside of Brooksville Florida sits an unfinished dinosaur. It was started by August Herwede, who fell from scaffolding while working on this  Headless Dinosaur in 1967 and later died. He was inspired by 1964’s NY World’s Fair Dinoland to make his own.
