Corpus Christi,, TX, United States
Grimsby, South Humberside, United Kingdom
The name derives from the original trading title of "The Great Grimsby Coal, Salt and Tanning Company". Coal to fuel the galley stoves; salt to preserve the food; tanning to waterproof the sails, ropes and nets. The company was founded in 1873 as a co-operative of vessel owners who required a reliable continuity of goods and services so that their vessels could put to sea and ply their trade. As the reputation for reliability and value for money spread, Cosalt grew. Not only geographically and product wise, but in the type of customers the company serviced. Waterproof Clothing is not just the prerogative of the mariner but of anyone working outdoors - rope will moor a vessel and secure a load on a lorry - salt did preserve food, but now that food is stored in Cold Stores, Cosalt manufacture Cold Store Clothing - ensuring the safety of a sailor is no different to providing a worker with personal protective equipment; Cosalt bridged the gap between the marine and industrial market place.

For over 150 years each compass manufactured by E.S. Ritchie & Sons, Inc. was recorded by serial number in hand written ledgers. These ledgers are still maintained at the Ritchie factory, shown above, located in Pembroke, MA USA. The first successful liquid dampened compass was awarded a U.S. Patent in 1860. It is just one of the compasses that we see highlighted in company literature dating back to the formation of E.S. Ritchie and Sons. Early compass dials were hand painted using egg white based paint for the background and India ink for the graduations. This photo shows three different types of early float chamber dials. Today's dials are printed using modern lithographic processes on extremely light aluminum or composite dials. Ritchie manufactured all the US Navy standard compasses for over forty years. The dial on the left shows the prominent float chamber which reduced weight on the pivot, reducing wear and greatly improving performance. The four vertical rods are actually bundles of needle magnets which gave this compass the power to lock on to magnetic north. Ritchie Compasses have won many awards for design and engineering excellence in the past 150 years. An early Ritchie liquid filled compass with a floating dial is exhibited in the Albert Museum of Science and Industry in England, proudly displayed along with a collection of nautical instruments created by the famous Lord Kelvin.

"Environmentally Responsible SPURS Line and Net Cuter Systems is meeting the challenge by preventing oil seal damage from line and net intrusion in the seal and bearing area of medium and large vessles. Since the Oil Pollution act of 1990 (imposing heavy penalties for oil leaks), the US Coast Guard has been ordered to advise vessels that " the source of the leak must be immediately secured." Whether long line, drift netting, floating tow lines or dock lines, SPURS propeller mounted Large and Medium Vessel Line and Net Cutter is designed to cut away lines, nets, etc. before entanglement begins. This minimizes costly diving charges, bearing the seal damage, and idle dry-dock time. As line is grabbed by the propeller, it is wound toward the propeller hub and picked up by the rotating cutter blade, where it is instantly cut, forward to reverse, and washed away, clearing the propeller with each revolution.
