ISTANBUL: At least two crew members have died after a cargo ship sank in bad weather in the Black Sea off Turkey on Sunday, local officials said. Five seamen from among the 13 on board the bulk.
Back in 1961 there was an uplifting hit song by Gene McDaniels. It was “A Hundred Pounds of Clay.” In the song, God is the Master Potter who saw what was missing from the world, “rolled His big sleeves up,” and created woman, who brought new love into the world.
I met retired neonatal nurse Beryl Brooks on Tybee this month. A few days later the old song came to mind, and I’m still humming it. It’s because of a statue that I noticed as I left. It sits high atop her bookcase, and it’s one that she herself made with, I’d guess, 50 pounds of clay.

A ship s hull found after the floodwaters receded about 220 kilometres from Kuantan, Pahang recently, is believed to be from the 18th or 19th century.
National Heritage Department (JWN) director-general Mesran Mohd Yusop said the ship made of wood and copper is most likely a British-owned merchant ship or used by dignitaries of that period.
These findings were based on the discovery of metal plates inscribed with the words Vivian & Son and year 1824. The company was established to carry out copper smelting operations in 1809 before growing into a leading smelting house in 1820.
