Its the USCGC Adler. 225 ft. Juniper Class buoy tender based in Duluth, MNThey're going to need more guys to lift that block and throw it overboard!
Yup, I can see the workers handling the massive block & tackle. I'm guessing the whites are engineers (usually in pairs and seen with hands in pockets
), the greens are the labor force, the yellow is safety compliance, and the blues are guests whom are along for the ride. The guy with the watch cap wondered over from the bridge and really should not be there without his hard hat!
Whites are closest to the edge -Deck Crew, Greens are touching greasy stuff - Engineers, Yellow hat is the bosun (who's probably really in charge) Blues are way back from the dirty dangerous bits therefore are Jr. Orfficers or safety officer or one of each, and watch cap is the media guy, or a gold plated orfficer who wandered off the bridge. Just a guess.Yup, I can see the workers handling the massive block & tackle. I'm guessing the whites are engineers (usually in pairs and seen with hands in pockets
The Juniper class is an Ocean-going tender and is part of the USCG effort to create multi-functional craft in their world that had been neatly divided in 3 parts.
White is safety, yellow is supervisor, blue is qualified rigger, green is new or breaking in(not qualified)
Cool, is that marine code? I was relating it to what I often see on home construction sites. Blue is what we gave to buyers when they were on-site for a home-viewing during construction. White is what the managers and engineers wear. I am half-joking about us engineers since we often go to job sites in loafers or moccasins, we can usually be found with hands in pockets or leaning on something, and we only get grease on ourselves when we lean against something we shouldn't. The grease gets on our hands only after we wipe it off our sleeve. Believe me, I have experience!
I don't know. There is a PO3 in Duluth that answers messages on the USCGC Alder FB page. I asked they replied.Cool, is that marine code?
