The Friends of the JPL Present: “My Favorite Maritime Epic Fails” by Bill Krol

Success has many parents; failure is an orphan. And so it has been with ships throughout history. Join us for eight tales from the orphanage featuring crazy ideas, lousy design, poor judgement and bad karma on and off the water. This is a revised and expanded version of a presentation first given in 2015.
 
Presenter (and Portsmouth, RI resident) Bill Krol started his career working for the US Navy as a shipfitter’s helper at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. Now retired, he worked for 33 years as a naval architect and systems engineer at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, RI.
