Tall ships have masts and you can see around them and in between. On a ship like the Titanic, it's like there's a gigantic house on top of it. Besides it was enormous and most cruise liners these days are bigger than most tall ships.
Here, I just started creating this site - http://www.freewebs.com/maj-tallships/

The branch handbook has arrived and I am already researching places where the ships can get to in East Anglia.

Fairly thin really. Most of it is straight forward and common sense.

smile It strikes me that common sense would be a definite plus when dealing with the ocean and a very large ship. *grins*

Cool to know Mel! It won't take you long to read then...
Say, I just saw a small article about pirate ships and how they were divided. Do you think most tall ships had similar compartments inside of them? I wish I could see a chart but I have no idea where to find it.

JastaElf smile It strikes me that common sense would be a definite plus when dealing with the ocean and a very large ship. *grins* I sail on the ships, but that isn't my job. My job is to publicise, support, and fundraise for them. Unfortunately, it's voluntary and I don't get paid for it. Perhaps I might find a paid job in that area in the near future...I hope I do.
The branch manual highlights the dos and dont's and other guidelines when it comes to legal matters and the likes.

Think of the position in terms of a future resume/CV document for job searches or university entrance essays and applications. A job is a job, whether you get paid or not; to work hard at something even though you don't get paid is a very important point of reference for most university entrance people and hiring managers.
Write up a list of all the stuff you do for the group--whatever it is. Then couch it in terms of regular job speak. Publicising, support functions, fund-raising, public speaking, group management--these are all easily translatable into jobs in museums, offices, even the government. It's all good! smile

Well I'm thinking of going to a business seminar. There are free ones with a particular company so I've been told. I want to see if I might be able to turn it into something in the future.

Carefull about those free buisness seminars... they will usually try to sell you something - Have you gone to craigslist (tis FREE!) to see if there is anything open at a museum near you?! That's how I got my museum job - and *crosses her fingers* I'll be a research assistant soon!
Good Luck!
