Editorial
L
es Frères polonais viennent de poser à la rédaction une question fort
intéressante : pourrions-nous
donner notre accord à ce que
The Tortuga Post soit disponible
sur la Maritime Digital Library?
Cette question a naturellement
été l'occasion d'une intense réflexion au sein de la rédaction.
En tapant "The Tortuga Post" sur
Google, on obtient plus de 2500
résultats en moins d'une seconde.
Autant dire que notre bulletin,
que l'on trouve maintenant sur
tous les sites de la Confrérie, est
quasiment du domaine public.
C'est là une évolution à laquelle
nous ne pouvons plus nous opposer. Aussi avons-nous donné
l'autorisation qui nous était demandée. Merci du reste aux Frères polonais d'avoir eu la courtoisie de poser la question!
Mais ceci nous a amenés à modifier notre ligne de conduite:
Afin de protéger au mieux les
données personnelles de nos
Frères, il a été décidé ce qui suit:
1. Le Directory, comme ses
mises à jour, ne seront désormais
plus publiés dans TTP
2. Ces documents, considérés
comme sensibles, seront distribués séparément et clairement
marqués comme confidentiels.
Ils ne seront placés que sur le
site Yahoo groups de Secoin. Il
sera en revanche interdit de les
placer ailleurs sur Internet, quelles que soient les précautions
prises. Le format .pdf, que nous
pensions sûr, peut en effet être
scanné par les browsers modernes. Même les pages protégées
par des mots de passe ne sont
pas à l'abri!
3. La rédaction prendra les mesures adéquates pour protéger
ses propres données. Les informations publiées en page 8
paraissent donc pour la dernière fois.
tion we can no longer oppose
and therefore have given the
authorization asked of us. Our
thanks to the Polish Brothers
who have had the courtesy to ask
the question.
This has however required us to
modify the way we do business.
In order to best protect the personal information of our Brothers, the following has been decided:
1.The Directory and its updates
will no longer be published in
TTP.
Merci de votre compréhension !

A
n interesting question
was just asked of the
editor by the Polish
Brothers: Could we give our
consent to allow Tortuga Post to
be included in their digital Maritime Library? This question has
naturally initiated the opportunity for an intense discussion
within the editorial staff.
When searching for ”The Tortuga Post” on Google one retrieves more than 2,500 entries

to say that our newsletter, found

almost public. This is an evolu-

They will only be allowed to be

the precautions taken. The pdf
format believed secure can be

THE TORTUGA POST
I
Fratelli polacchi hanno posto
alla redazione un quesito
molto interessante: siete
d’accordo che The Tortuga Post
sia disponibile su Maritime
Digital Library? Questa domanda
è stata ovviamente oggetto di una
profonda riflessione all’interno
della redazione.
Cercando “The Tortuga Post” su
Google si ottengono più di 2500
risultati in meno di un secondo.
E’ come affermare che il nostro
bollettino, che si trova ormai su
tutti i siti della Fratellanza, è
quasi di dominio pubblico. E’
dunque un’evoluzione alla quale
non ci si può più opporre.
Pertanto abbiamo dato
l’autorizzazione che ci è stata
richiesta. Ringraziamo con
l’occasione i Fratelli polacchi per
aver avuto la cortesia di porre la
questione!
Questo fatto, però, ci porta a
modificare la nostra linea di
condotta. Per proteggere al
meglio i dati personali dei nostri
Fratelli è stato deciso quanto
segue:
1. La Directory ed i suoi
aggiornamenti non saranno più
pubblicati su TTP.
2. Questi documenti, considerati
come dati sensibili, verranno
distribuiti in modo separato ed
indicati chiaramente come
confidenziali. Saranno pubblicati
solo sul sito di Secoin Yahoo
Group. Sarà per contro vietato
metterli in qualunque altro modo
su Internet, anche se fossero
prese specifiche precauzioni al
riguardo. Il formato pdf, che noi
pensiamo sicuro, può essere
accuratamente esaminato dagli
attuali metodi di ricerca su
Internet. Anche le pagine protette
con password non sono al riparo!
3. La redazione prenderà le
misure adeguate per la protezione
dei propri dati. Le informazioni
pubblicate a pagina 8
appariranno dunque per
l’ultima volta.
Grazie per
comprensione.

U
na interesante pregunta
acaba de ser hecha al
editor por los Hermanos
polacos: ¿Podríamos dar nuestro
consentimiento para permitir que
el Tortuga Post, sea incluido en
su Biblioteca Marítima digital?
Esta pregunta naturalmente nos
ha dado la oportunidad, para
una discusión intensa dentro del
equipo editor.
2. Estos documentos serán considerados como sensibles. Serán
distribuidos por separado y marcados claramente como confidenciales. Sera permitido solamente
que sean publicados en el sitio
de SECOIN Yahoo Groups. No
se permitirá que se publiquen, en
ningunas otras páginas de internet, no importando las precauciones que sean tomadas. El formato del pdf que parece ser seguro, puede ser escaneado por
cualquiera de los buscadores
modernos. Aún las páginas protegidas por contraseñas, no son
del todo seguras.
3.- El editor de TTP tomarán las
medidas necesarias para asegurar sus propios datos. Por lo
tanto, las informaciones publicadas en la página 8, aparecerán
por última vez.
Gracias por su comprensión!

Esto sin embargo, ha requerido
que modifiquemos la manera

the neighbouring Cinque Ports of
Dover and Sandwich. We are

CINQUE PORTS
The Confederation of Cinque
Ports is an historic group of
coastal towns in Kent and
Sussex, originally formed by
Royal Charter in 1155 for
military and trade purposes. The
name originated in Norman
French, meaning "five ports"
(although it is pronounced "sink"
ports, not the French cinq). The
original confederation members
are Hastings, New Romney,
Hythe, Dover and Sandwich.
The five ports are supported by
the two so-called "Antient
Towns" of Rye and Winchelsea
whose councils traditionally
maintained defence contingents
for the realm of England.
In addition there are seven other
members of the Confederation,
which were considered to be
Limbs of the other towns: Lydd
(Limb of New Romney),
Folkestone (Limb of Dover),
Faversham (Limb of Dover),
Margate (Limb of Dover), Deal
(Limb of Sandwich), Ramsgate
(Limb of Sandwich), Tenterden
(Limb of Rye).
There are no less than 23 other
towns, villages and offices with
varying degrees of connection to
the ancient Liberties of the
Cinque Ports – it was once very
important to be a member of this
illustrious organisation!

National Captain and brother
Themistokles Lebessopoulos
second. Brother Andreas
Potamianos accepted the motion
and the assembly unanimously
agreed.

spare no effort in enlarging the
ties between brothers, expand the
brotherhood base, and keep the
ties with the international
brotherhood alive and active.

CHILE:
Zafarrancho Aniversario 60
HERMANDAD DE LA COSTA
Con gran entusiasmo, Piquetes de Hermanos y
Cautivas que cruzaron océanos y continentes,
llegaron hasta Santiago y sus alrededores para
participar en esta conmemoración, es así que
estuvieron tripulaciones de, Inglaterra, Bélgica,
Alemania, Italia, Uruguay, Angola, Holanda;
Estados Unidos y de la mayoría de la Naos de
Chile
Las actividades comenzaron el miércoles 30 de
Marzo, con un Zafarrancho en la guarida de la
Nao Santiago, donde se conmemoraron los 60
años de su fundación. Este se desarrolló en un
ambiente distendido; pero no por ello falto de
emotividad, especialmente cuando se recordó a
los Hermanos Fundadores. El CN Chiricuto y su
cautivante cautiva Verónica, junto a Hermanos y
Cautivas de Estados Unidos, Holanda, Inglaterra,
Italia, Alemania y de Naos del litoral Chileno,
abordaron la Nao, donde fueron recibidos en el
portalón por el fiero capitán El Toscano y su
Tripulación.
Buenos condumios, abundante
pólvora, junto a canticos y mucha camaradería,
dieron un marco especial a este Zafarrancho que
comenzó a las 21:00 horas y termino en la
madrugada del día siguiente.
El jueves 31 de Marzo, las actividades se
realizaron en el Hotel Gran Hyatt de Santiago,
con un Zafarrancho de bienvenida, el que contó
con un cóctel en los alrededores de la piscina y
posteriormente el Zafarrancho en el salón Aysén.
En esta oportunidad el Capitán Nacional
Chiricuto, dio la bienvenida a Hermanos y
Cautivas y ordenó al Hermano de la Nao
Santiago Antonio “Toñopalo” Varas, presentar un
trazado de rumbo sobre la historia de la
Hermandad de la Costa de Chile. Ya a la hora de
los postres las distintas tripulaciones venidas de
otras latitudes, solicitaron la caña al CN y junto
con manifestar la alegría que sentían de estar
presentes en este trascendental momento para la
Hermandad de la Costa de Chile y la Nao
Santiago, entregaron valiosos y hermosos
presentes a la Capitanía Nacional. Por su parte
el CN Chiricuto, premio al Muchacho de la Nao
Valparaíso Rodrigo Concha, quien gano el
concurso del diseño de la insignia conmemorativa
de los 60 años de la Hermandad.
El Viernes 01 de Abril, el programa contemplaba
el Tour del Vino a Santa Cruz, por lo que los
Hermanos y Cautivas, después de reunirse muy
temprano en el lobby del Hotel Gran Hyatt,
zarparon en buses a Santa Cruz, donde tuvieron la
oportunidad no solo de conocer el proceso de
fabricación del vino de esa zona, sino además
degustar del resultado del cultivo en el valle de
Colchagua, de algunas finas cepas. Una vez
bendecidos por el Dios Baco, viajaron en
funicular a contemplar las aldeas indígenas que
reproducen las viviendas de los Mapuches,
Pascuenses y Aymará.
El Tour contempló
también un almuerzo en la viña y posteriormente
una visita al interesante Museo de Colchagua ,
que es el museo privado más grande y variado de
Latinoamérica. En el fue posible conocer la
historia de nuestro planeta y del hombre a partir
de nuestra realidad americana. Fue todo, algo tan
interesante e ilustrativo que al decir de muchos de
los asistentes, el tiempo se hizo poco.
El Sábado 02, las actividades comenzaron muy
temprano con el Tour a Valparaíso y Viña del
7
THE TORTUGA POST
Mar, donde la actividad central de ese Tour era la
reinauguración de la sala de la Hermandad de la
Costa en el Museo Marítimo y Naval de Valparaíso.
Al llegar a Valparaíso, hubo un tour por los
principales cerros de ese puerto, una visita a la casa
de Pablo Neruda «La Sebastiana» y de ahí al Museo
Marítimo y Naval, en el cual existe desde hace
muchos años la sala Hermandad de la Costa, la cual
aprovechando la remodelación que se le estaba
haciendo al edificio del Museo, también se
remodeló.
«Pirata de las Viñas» Verdugo y Mario «Vulcano»
Foix y la condecoración GHM al HM Kurt
«Kapbitter» Angelberck.
Por su parte el CN de
Uruguay Capitán Jambo, condecoro
al CN
Chiricuto, con la máxima distinción de la
Hermandad Uruguaya,
«Gran Corsario
Antigüista»
Otro momento relevante, fue cuando se cantó el
cumpleaños feliz, por los 60 años de la Hermandad
de la Costa y la Nao Santiago.
La ceremonia de la reinauguración fue un acto
solemne que fue presidido por el Director de la
DIRECTEMAR, VA Enrique Larrañaga Martin,
acompañado del Director del Museo, del CN
Chiricuto y otras altas autoridades navales.
Después de los discursos de rigor a cargo del
Director del Museo y del CN Chiricuto, la banda
instrumental de la Armada interpretó el Himno de la
Armada y el de la Hermandad de la Costa, lo que le
dio un relace especial a este acto.
Una vez terminada esta ceremonia todos los
Tripulantes se dirigieron al Hotel Gervasoni, para
un Zafarrancho de camaradería, y para luego
regresar a Santiago, pasando por el borde costero de
Viña del Mar.
Por la noche del sábado se realizó en CasaPiedra en
Santiago, el Gran Zafarrancho Aniversario, donde
Hermanos y Cautivas lucieron sus mejores atuendos
piratas.
Desde el cóctel de recepción hasta ya entrada la
madrugada del día siguiente, se vivieron momentos
muy gratos de mucha camaradería y también
momentos muy emotivos, especialmente cuando el
CN Chiricuto, entrego la Patente de Corso a los
Hermanos Pedro «Caletero» Merino; Edmundo
El domingo 3 de Abril, se efectuó un Tour por
Santiago, el cual concluyó con un almuerzo típico
en el restaurant “Los Buenos Muchachos”, donde
los asistentes no sólo degustaron de los platos
típicos chilenos, sino además pudieron disfrutar de
un show folclórico y una orquesta para sellar este
momento con un gran baile.
La conmemoración de este Aniversario número 60
de la Hermandad de la Costa de Chile y de la Nao
Santiago, superó las expectativas de los
organizadores, por el tremendo entusiasmo
mostrado por los Hermanos y Cautivas,
participantes en el.

The South-Eastern Table meets in
Waterford City on July 3rd on the
occasion of the assembly of the
Tall Ships there. This is a major
event, as we all know, and first
came to Waterford three years ago
under the organisation of Frere
Nicky Fewer, founder of the SE
Table. Nicky was made a Freeman
of Waterford City as a result. Those interested should contact

Sea songs or more precisely ‘shanties’ are the musical legacy
from merchant sail ships before
the mechanical propulsion took
over. They are lovingly remembered and developed by sailing
enthusiasts, many of Brothers
among them. This cultural heritage is nurtured in many places of
the world but Polish landlocked
town of Krakow is widely known
as one of the most prominent sites.
With long tradition since 1981, in
February 2011 there was again
consecutive, XXX Anniversary
International Sea Songs’ Festival “Shanties”. Interestingly, it was

on August 6 & 7. Set off Connemara this is a beautiful island in

The Freres in Ireland are heavily
involved in organising the Irish
Stopover of the 2011/12 Volvo
Ocean Race. The Race ends in
Galway in July 2012 , the first
time that it has ended outside
Scandinavia. And this is due to the
enormous success of the Stopover
in Galway in the last Race. John
Killeen, Enda O'Coineen and
Capt. Brian Sheridan who ensured
the success of the previous Stopover, are in charge again. John was
made a Freeman of Galway as a
recognition of what it had done for
the City. All three are Freres and
members of the Western Table.
This will be a huge international
event and extremely enjoyable.

highlighted by staging of a unique
and a bit frivolous ‘Sailing Opera’
– SHENANDOAH. That well
known tune about Indian girl,
white trader and river Missouri
was developed into a whole story
using other shanties and popular
maritime tunes. It was accepted by
the public with admiration. What
is even more interesting - the same
opera was performed during the
same Krakow Festival a quarter of
the century earlier! And with
mostly the same singers! Both
performances were libretto-ed and
directed by Andrzej Radomiński our Brother #86. Back then - after
the first edition he managed an
international tour and performed
“Opera Shenandoah” in many

In the second weekend of June
there is a traditional yearly Sail
Szczecin event with many tallships visiting the town. Various
maritime happenings and attractions are hosted during these
‘Days of the Sea’.
One of them was 2011 award of
‘The Glory of the Seas Trophy’.
This year recipient’s name is Tadeusz SIWIEC, retired commander of Polish Navy and oceangoing yacht master known for
many victorious sea races and his
long and diversified career in
yachting dating since 1945. But he
was not the only one recipient of
honours on the occasion. Two
Brothers received Polish Brotherhood Medals. They are: H.
Kolesnik #50 and A.Radominski
#86
The ceremony had the proper setting and venue: the deck of the s/y
ZAWISZA CZARNY, threemasted schooner with rare
Vamarie rig belonging to Polish
Scouting and Guiding Association,
ZHP. The timing was also prestigious: following the special concert
marking fifty sea service years of
the vessel and before the occasional Zafarrancho of Polish
Brothers. And by the way: The
skipper and host of the ceremonies
on board was capt. Waldemar
Mieczkowski, who is a ‘junga’ in
our Gdansk Table.

It is my sad duty to announce the
departure to Eternal Seas of our
Brother nr.17 Bogdan DAGAJEW MD. He belonged to the
Warsaw Table, died on 23rd April and was buried on 13th May
2011 in Warsaw. He was also the
fighter during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 of II WW and long
stand ing memb er o f o ur

winds on his last voyage of noreturn on behalf of all of Polish
Brothers.

THE TORTUGA POST
He was a fine man, a sailor to his
marrow, an accomplished writer,
a good businessman, a true Ulsterman and an Irishman, a great
companion and raconteur who
enjoyed the company of the Freres de la Cote and was happy to
lead the charge. He will be sadly
missed but has left a strong Table
in his wake.
We think of his wife Joan, his son
Bruce, and his cousin and our
Frere Stephen. Ar dheis De go
raibh a nanam dilis. This weekend
(June 10) the Northern Table assembles on the island of InisMurray, the site of a well preserved
early Christian Monastery for
their Boucan - and an Orza to
Wallace !
