The Tow Tank
2 subscribers
One hull. One design decision. One thing that went wrong, or changed everything. The Tow Tank follows a single ship from the drawing office to the water: the problem she was built to solve, the engineers who drew her, the yard that built her, the crew who lived aboard her, what she cost, and what she left behind. No posters and no myth. Admiralty contracts, trial reports, loss inquiries, builder's plates, salvage records, and the testimony of the people who were actually on the water. New episode every week. Sources and corrections in the pinned comment.
