A 60-Year-Old Shipwreck Is Still Damaging My Boat

Two stories. One ship. Sixty years of memories that don’t quite agree.
In this episode, we follow the strange history of Lady Hawk, once the Danish fishing cutter Tourup, E.502, and a North Sea disaster that may have changed her forever. One story says she capsized in 1964, losing her wheelhouse and part of her deck. Another places a remarkably similar event years later. Both say she disappeared for seven days.
As we reef the decks, forge new tools and dig deeper into her stern, the physical evidence starts raising even more questions. Missing structure, moved frames and decades of distortion seem to point toward a major rebuild in her past.
But human memory is a strange thing. The more we remember a story, the more we can unknowingly change it.
Somewhere between the stories handed down through generations, the scars hidden beneath Lady Hawk’s covering boards, and the bottom of the North Sea… is what actually happened.
And whatever happened then, we’re dealing with the consequences now.
Lady Hawk’s restoration continues, and the Barefoot Raid is getting very close.
If you want to help us restore this historic ship, get her back to sea, and ultimately sail her to Mexico to bring our first cargo home under sail, consider joining the Mariner’s Spirit Founders Circle.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for helping us keep old ships, and their stories alive.

The Strange Disease Killing My 1934 Ship
For five months, we’ve been preparing to restore Lady Hawk without doing much restoration at all. We built the workshop, brought in the machinery, stockpiled timber, assembled the crew, and slowly developed the ability to tackle the work properly. Now, for the first time, we’re cutting into the 19...
This Engine Is Trying To Tell Us Something
People keep telling me this is an engine. Others insist it’s a motor. Both sides sound completely convinced. The strange part is that they’re both arguing from perfectly reasonable assumptions. So how can the same machine have two different answers? To find out, we have to look at something muc...
I Didn’t Realize How Dangerous This Engine Was
What was supposed to be a simple day of maintenance and diagnostics on Lady Hawk’s 1962 Grenaa semi-diesel quickly turned into something else entirely. While working through lubrication, cooling, and a handful of issues raised by viewers in the last episode, we uncovered a problem in the high-press...
This Engine Breaks ALL the Rules
This 1962 Danish engine shouldn’t have been built when it was. While the world was building rockets, computers, and modern diesel engines, somebody was still building hot-bulb semi-diesels based on technology invented in the 1800s. Aboard Lady Hawk, I walk through the complete starting procedure o...
