![]() It revives old memories, instilling you with a sense of nostalgia as you decipher the lyrics. This beautiful song provides an escape into a dimension you will find yourself lost in. Throw this playlist on for easy, chill beats! Whatever you may be doing, it’s the end of the week - relax, kick back and rewind. Or you’re ready to head to the store in your pajamas and mask to pick up some ice cream. Because of COVID-19, you’re planning to stay the night in with some popcorn and cards with roommates. But if you’re being honest with yourself, you’re pretty wiped out. It seems a stretch to think that the mysterious monster wasn't designed and constructed by an industrial nation, said Pitt, still skeptical.Imagine, it’s a Friday night and you just finished your last Zoom class for the week. The crew then made camp on the reef until they were rescued. She barely made it to Roncador Reef before she grounded. The vessel was chased, then sank into the water before surfacing again and ramming the Kearsarge, putting a large hole in her hull. Yes, according to her commander, Captain Leigh Hunt, he was attacked by a man-made underwater vessel that resembled a whale. Which isn't to say there are not more reports, untapped by researchers, in archives scattered around the world. I can't say, said Perlmutter slowly.I only know what I find in recorded sea history. As would be expected, they estimated the size anywhere from one to three hundred feet, with a beam of twenty to forty feet. The crew agreed that it was cigar shaped, cylindrical with conical ends. The ship that sank the famous Confederate raider Alabama? Those early efforts would have looked crude beside Captain Nemo's Nautilus. After that, submarine science lagged until John Holland and Simon Lake began experimenting with and building submarines that were accepted by several countries, including us and the Germans. The Hunley even experimented with electromagnetic engines, but that technology was not ready, so eight men sat inside the submarine and turned a crank that spun the propeller for propulsion. That last thing, by the way, was a concept that nobody thought had been used before Howard Hughes flushed the rivets on an aircraft he designed in the mid-nineteen-thirties. She was quite streamlined, and she had a rudimentary snorkel system with bellows to pump air, ballast tanks with pumps, diving planes and flush rivets to reduce water drag. When she was inspected at first hand and the silt and remains of her crew removed from inside, she was found to be far more modern in concept than was supposed. The Hunley sat on the bottom buried in silt for a hundred and thirty-six years before she was discovered, raised and placed in a conservation laboratory tank to preserve her for public display. Perlmutter nodded.Yes, the feat didn't happen again until fifty years later, in August of 1914, when the U-21 sank the HMS Pathfinder in the North Sea. He disappeared down the hall for several minutes before reappearing with a book in one hand.A copy of the board of inquiry minutes concerning the sinking of the U.S. Perlmutter ran out of steam and was about to reach for the port bottle again when a look of revelation swept over his face.I just thought of something, he said, raising his great bulk out of his chair with ease. The whaling ship Essex, out of Nantucket, was rammed and sunk by a whale, offered Pitt. Pitt set his glass on the table but refused another when offered.I can't believe a supernatural vessel decades ahead of its time 'was built by private individuals. And if it sailed around ramming and sinking ships, how come there were not more survivors to report the incidents? It's odd that such a vessel, if it truly existed, could cruise the world for almost thirty years without its being seen more often, or one of its crew deserting ashore and telling the story. Captain Hunt swore that he saw a face staring back at him through one of the ports, a man with a beard.Ĭome to think of it, the Kearsarge was not the only vessel reported sunk by an undersea monster. They also mentioned some sort of pyramid-shaped tower on its back that appeared to have viewing ports. #KICK IT WITH YOU ALL NIGHT SONG SERIES#Their testimony described a large steel monster that was impenetrable to a series of cannon shots the Kearsarge poured into it-they simply bounced off. Not one of them who witnessed the spectacle varied his story. No, he was dead serious, replied Perlmutter,and what's important is that his entire crew backed him up. Not exactly an underwater craft to be taken lightly in 1894. Probably somewhere in between, Pitt said thoughtfully.Somewhere slightly more than two hundred feet in length with a twenty-five-foot beam. The Hunley was built by private individuals who funded the project, lectured Perlmutter.Actually, she was the third boat built by Horace Hunley and his engineers. Sounds like the good captain was heavily into the rum locker, Pitt said, jokingly. ![]()
