The tank at Warsash Maritime College revealed itself to the Future Maritime Engineers team as a very long and narrow swiming pool with a gantry suspended across it, where master of ceremonies xxx xxx took charge ,- King Neptune right in the heart of the Academy. He it was who had the waves (if not the wind down in that tank space) under his command, to do his bidding. And his bidding was to send waves of increasing height down along the tank, testing FME’s paper boats to their limits, among much hilarity from the young naval architects who had cast their bread over such troubled waters. From his bridge over that inland sea, Professor Garfunkel aka Jonathan Ridley watched their progress Or lack of it. Anyway the point was well made, increasing still further the FME Trip Advisor rating!
