    Oh man, that sounds like a great opportunity for someone. I love history and wish I had the time to do this. Very special to observe history being preserved.
    If another opportunity arises in the future, please post.

    PM me if weekend slots are available. I know how to stay awake in the cold while babysitting a weld and F/E. I don’t have a TWIC but I can pass any background checks they want to throw at me.

    You don't need a TWIC card but we have them for any other work at the terminals , they are good i believe for 5 years so they do pay for themselves . This work is inside and temp. controlled . It is a couple hour class to take for the ships info. and then a fire watch class . No test .
    We are sealing very large hatch deck doors around all the hinge areas with 1/8" thick x 4" wide flat bar . I can say some areas are un-touched , a couple months ago we were working in the pilot house the controls and systems were amazing .

    Rusting and water damage are the worse for these old ships , water lays everywhere there are waves in the steel and all the low spots where water never dries out .

    I have a couple week job that may need 2 fire-watches and labor work for a couple weeks .

    I was putting some feelers out to see if anyone here might think it would fit them .
    Work is on a ship and you will be given a short training from the ship's personnel and the history of the ship .
    You will need to be able to walk a good distance and carry some things and be thoughtful about safety .

    I will give you details in private , but it would be great for someone retired .There is Covid screening every day with a heat gun and a questionnaire (daily)

    Man, I wish I was a kid again. Sounds like it could lead to adventure.
