Correct, But some claim it has something to do with Pea soup fog, the
Fog that stops Lanod.

No, because it is doubtful the Minnow was a Steam Ship (S.S).

Yes, as that was the name that was on the boat.

Rap full means a little off the wind, with all sails filled, and to
have a flaw is to have a gust stronger than the prevailing wind.

Can you reeve and jump a cod line? And if you can, what are you doing with what?

Yes you can reeve and jump a cod line. To reeve a line means to pass a
line through a block, and to Jump a line is stand at the mast and pull
down on a halyard as another crewmate winches it in. And a Cod line is
according to "The Oxford Companion To Ships And The Sea", a codline is
a: Small line laid up with eighteen threads. It was originally the
line used in fishing for cod, but also has a variety of uses on board
ship for purposes where small rope would be too large and clumsy.



Have you ever seen a kumatage?
Guess Jonathan is the only one to see or know what he saw. A Kumatage
is a bright appearance in the horizon, under the sun or moon, arising
from the reflected light of those bodies from the small rippling waves
on the surface of the water FROM Bowditch´s Navigator, 24th edition
(1854) page 295,




Why are those Navy coats called Pea coats?

again Johnathan knew the correct answer. The heavy topcoat worn in
cold, miserable weather by seafaring men was once tailored from pilot
cloth, a heavy, course, stout kind of twilled blue cloth with the nap
on one side. The cloth was sometimes called P-cloth for the initial
letter of "pilot" and the garment made from it was called a p-jacket,
later, a pea coat. The term has been used since 1723 to denote coats
made from that cloth.

Whats it mean to scud.

no one knew that to scud is to run before a gale with little or no
sail set.... Also.... a gust of wind. Ragged low clouds, moving
rapidly beneath another cloud layer. American Heritage 3rd Edition.

Most knew this cept Scotty. S.S. is offically ment to infer a Steam
Ship, Gilligan thought it ment small ship.

I wish I had been paying attention - I didn't notice this question.

There's an old saying around Portsmouth and Cape Ann: In the event of a
Nor'easter in the Bay, one should "hoist the fores'l and scud for Squam!"
meaning Annisquam, on the north side of Gloucester.

look at theses pics. http://www.gilligansisle.com/minnow.html
