What's in here? Valuable heirlooms? A rich uncle's last will and
testament? Nothing so lucky... but we don't think you'll be
disappointed. If you go to the section called "Grab Bag", you'll
find an odd assortment of job opportunities that really aren't
necessarily "tugboat jobs" so to speak, but they are nonetheless
of interest (at least that what some of you told us). You'll find jobs
that may be from as unexpected a source as a port authority, oil
rig in the United Arab Emirates, the U.S. Military Sealift
Command, boating supply store, a naval museum and more.
Good luck!

Lubricating Oils
Lubricating
oils serve
a number
of important
purposes in
marine machinery, from
heavy oils in large slow
speed diesels to solid
lubricants in small sealed
gearboxes. Lubricants
reduce friction between
moving parts, carry away
heat, provide a film to
separate moving parts,
prevent corrosion, and
carry away contaminants
resulting from combustion
and metal to metal wear.

While some people may
see oil wrestling as basic
foolishness that could
relieve some of the stress
of a job search, others
might perceive it as a
serious threat to the
moral fabric of a society.
