Sea Rover was built in 1902 as the commercial tugboat SS Sea Rover by Fulton Iron Works at San Francisco, California. She operated in United States West Coast waters in mercantile service until 11 December 1917, when her owners, the Shipowners & Merchants Tugboat Company of San Francisco, sold her to the United States Shipping Board, which immediately transferred her to the U.S. Navy for use during World War I. She was assigned the section patrol number 1014 and commissioned on 31 January 1918 as USS Sea Rover (SP-1014) with Lieutenant, junior grade, F. M. Cook, USNRF, in command.

Sea Rover was decommissioned on 4 March 1921 and stricken from the Navy List effective on the date of her final sale. This proved to be 25 February 1922, when she was sold to R. W. Greene of San Francisco. Once again SS Sea Rover, the tug returned to commercial service with the Shipowners and Merchants Tugboat Company of San Francisco until scrapped in 1949.

Barry released the tug from escort duty on 3 September 1918 and directed her to return to Bermuda, but on 4 September 1918 Sea Rover ran into a hurricane. During the next two days, Sea Rover cracked a seam in a fuel tank, developed a severe list which caused her to send an SOS, and finally took refuge in the Bahama Islands on 7 September 1918. Bermuda did not hear of her arrival at the Bahamas and, after an unsuccessful search for her, mistakenly reported her lost at sea on 9 September 1918. Sea Rover underwent repairs at Jacksonville, Florida, and returned to Bermuda on 14 October 1918, where she remained as station tug through the end of the war on 11 November 1918 and into 1919.

HMS Sea Rover was a third-batch S-class submarine and was ordered by the British Admiralty on 4 April 1940. She was laid down in the Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company shipyard in Greenock on 14 April 1941 and was launched on 25 February 1943.Akermann, p. 339 On 5 July 1943, Sea Rover, under the command of Lieutenant John P. Angell, sailed to Holy Loch, where she was commissioned into the Royal Navy two days later.

Sea Rover departed Mare Island Navy Yard at Vallejo, California, on 11 February 1918 towing three barges to the United States East Coast. After completing this voyage, she underwent repairs at Norfolk, Virginia, then served briefly as station tug at New London, Connecticut, before arriving at Bermuda on 18 May 1918 to serve as station tug there. As her machinery was considered too unreliable for convoy work, Sea Rover remained at Bermuda for over a year, primarily engaged in towing in the harbor and near the islands. However, on 2 September 1918, she departed Bermuda to escort the destroyer USS Barry (Destroyer No. 2) to Charleston, South Carolina.

Thomas Towle was an engineer who had been involved with many early aircraft designs. Having just co-designed the Eastman-E2 Sea Rover, Towle was commissioned by Henry McCarroll to promote Detroit's aviation production capabilities. The WC was a flying boat with an aluminum hull. The strut braced parasol wing was fabric covered.

Thus far, she has been the only ship to bear the name "Sea Rover".Akermann, p. 347 Between July and September 1943, Sea Rover conducted exercises with various other submarines and surface ships off the River Clyde and Larne. From 9 to 24 October, the boat patrolled off Norway, but did not sight any targets. On 27 November 1943, Sea Rover was reassigned to the Pacific theater; she departed Holy Loch, and after a stay in Casablanca, left for Beirut on 22 December. She continued on through Suez and Colombo, and arrived in Trincomalee on 10 February 1944. On 21 February 1944, the boat went on patrol in the Strait of Malacca; on 3 March she sighted a Japanese submarine, possibly the Ro-100-class submarine RO-111 and fired a full spread of six torpedoes; the submarine was seen to alter its course, possibly to evade the torpedoes, and no hits were observed. Later in the day, she sank the Japanese merchant Matsu Maru No.1 with gunfire; three days later the boat sank a Japanese coaster with gunfire from the main 76mm deck gun and the 20mm Oerlikon AA gun.

She arrived in Portsmouth on 13 March, then made the passage to Philadelphia under Lt. H. S. May, arriving on 26 April. The boat then underwent a refit in the Philadelphia Navy Yard until September 1945, when she returned to Britain, and was placed in reserve. Sea Rover was sold for scrap metal in October 1949, and was broken up in Faslane, Scotland.

The bibliographic legacy of Exquemelin's History of the Buccaneers of America is complex. It was first published in Dutch (1678), then translated into German (1679), Spanish (1681) and English (1684).Richard Frohock, Buccaneers and Privateers: The Story of the English Sea Rover, 1675–1725, University of Delaware Press, 2012, 28. The German translation is a faithful translation of the original Dutch.

The carrier's engineers often resorted to making replacements from scratch. The ship's catapult was replaced with parts from the decommissioned HMCS Bonaventure in 1970. In 1970, Melbourne participated in three major inter-navy exercises: Sea Rover with SEATO forces in the South China Sea, Bersatu Padu with British Commonwealth forces off Malaysia, and Swan Lake with the Royal Navy and Royal New Zealand Navy off Western Australia.

In America he carried on his high living of gambling, women and drink. His good looks and deep pockets opened up the party circuit to him and he starred in two movies, McGlusky the Sea Rover (UK, 1934) and Navy Spy (1937). Later in life he had minor parts in a number of British films. While in the United States he continued to box, taking on Buddy Baer in August 1935.

Ogel's left hand was replaced by a transparent red hook that can still hold things (the Lego minifigure). It is uncertain of how he got the red hook. Rumor has it that he lost his left hand while battling Alpha Team. Alpha Team's helper, TeeVee (a television with legs and antennae) can now turn into a deep sea rover for small openings and scouting around the sea embankment.

After repairs, the boat was tasked with the recovery of downed airmen over the Indian Ocean. No Allied aircraft were seen, but she was repeatedly attacked by enemy aircraft with bombs and machine-guns. After a stop at Exmouth Gulf, she ended her patrol in Fremantle, Australia. During her next two patrols, Sea Rover sank two small ships, but on 17 December the boat collided with HMAS Bunbury; temporary repairs were made to enable her to return to Britain.

Helgi, a warrior and sea-rover, visits the equally warlike queen of the Saxons, whom he woos overbearingly. Sent packing, he later returns and rapes her, a union resulting in a daughter, Yrsa, who years later becomes an instrument of vengeance when Helgi encounters and marries her. Only after they are wed does her mother reveal Yrsa's parentage. Haunted, Yrsa leaves Denmark to wed Adhils, King of the Swedes, and Helgi is ultimately killed in battle attempting to win her back.

During this deployment, Somers returned to the Gulf of Tonkin alternately plane guarding Hancock and serving on the gunline. During late March and early April, she joined units of the Australian and New Zealand navies in the SEATO exercise, "Sea Rover." After that, she returned to plane guard duties, this time for . Two days after joining the carrier, however, Somers was detached to return to Subic Bay. She arrived on 19 April and remained until the 24th, when she got underway for the United States.

On 8 March, the boat sighted a convoy of five merchant ships, with one escort; she torpedoed and sank the Japanese transport ship Shobu Maru. She then returned to Trincomalee on 13 March. On 1 April, Sea Rover departed on patrol off Diamond Point, Sumatra; on the 10th she fired six torpedoes at a large merchant vessel, but missed. On the 20th, the boat surfaced at opened fire with her deck gun on a goods train at Lhokseumawe, Sumatra; after firing 59 shells, the train was considered destroyed.

Resupply arrangements were not well articulated and an archer exhausting his quiver generally withdrew from the field. Although cavalry was known, it was minor among African forces of the Guinea- Gambia regions who used both the maritime and the infantry tradition, conducting raids on land and water. Archery was important and fighting men of some Sierra Leone tribes carried so many poisoned arrows that they needed two quivers. These archers repulsed English sea rover John Hawkins in 1568, who tried to kidnap Africans from the coast, as well as Portuguese sea intruders before Hawkins.

Gay Crusader was a bay horse of "beautiful quality" bred by his owner Alfred W Cox, who used the name "Mr Fairie" for his racing interests. He was sired by Cox's stallion Bayardo, regarded as the best British racehorse of his time, and was the first foal of the mare Gay Laura, a daughter of Galeottia, who had won the 1000 Guineas for Cox in 1895. Gay Laura won a race as a two-year-old and was the dam of five other winners that won 14 races worth £9,906. The most notable of these was the successful Steeplechaser Sea Rover.

Etymologists frequently trace the word "Viking" to writers who are referring to those who set about to raid and pillage. The word Viking in the sense in which it is commonly used is derived from the Old Norse víkingr signifying a sea-rover or pirate.The Syntax of Old Norse by Jan Terje Faarlund (Oxford University Press: 2004)The Principles of English Etymology by Walter W. Skeat (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1887) Thus, our understanding of "Viking" history is shaped by the views of the people of the Romantic era, who studied and wrote about "the Vikings", as seen from their point of view.

Other Fox features for which he either supplied full art or did inking over penciler Pierce Rice, include "Captain Savage, Sea Rover", "Chen Chang" (in Mystery Men Comics), "D-13", "The Flame", "The Green Mask" (under the house name Walter Frame), and "Marga the Panther Woman". Also during this time he did occasional work for Centaur Publications (the feature "Man of War"), Fawcett Comics ("Atom Blake"), Holyoke Publications ("Blue Beetle"), Lev Gleason Publications ("Dickie Dean"), and Harvey Comics, ( "Dr. Miracle", "Duke O'Dowd", "Robin Hood", and, in Pocket Comics, "Phantom Sphinx"). One source attributes the Fox character Spider Queen to the Cazeneuve brothers under the joint pseudonym Elsa Lesau.

Transferred to the command of the Commander, 7th Fleet, on 6 December, the submarine arrived at Yokosuka on 10 December. Five days later, she got underway for special operations which took her into 1970. Tiru participated in Exercise "Sea Rover," with United States and Australian naval units, before heading home for the United States at the conclusion of her WestPac deployment. While approaching Guam for voyage repairs, she routinely copied the evening weather broadcast which was accompanied by an urgent alert notifying the ship of a search and rescue (SAR) operation underway to look for and rescue survivors of a small craft which had been adrift for two days in a heavy sea.

The submarine commenced her next patrol on 16 June 1944; four days later, she was ineffectually bombed by an enemy aircraft. Later in the day, she sighted a Japanese submarine, probably the I-8, but could not maneuver into an attack position. In the evening of 26 June, Sea Rover was depth charged by two Japanese anti-submarine ships south of Penang, sustaining considerable damage to internal fittings and instruments, as well as taking on two tons of water in flooding. The next day, the captain decided to sink a sailing vessel with demolition charges to raise the morale of his crew, then in the following days destroyed two more sailing vessels with gunfire.

In 1986-7, the Museum acquired 27 computers, including a CDC 1604, MIT AI Lab CADR, MIT Lincoln Lab LINC, Prime Computer Model 300, Research Machines 380Z, and a Xerox Alto II. As part of the development of the Smart Machines gallery, robot collecting was especially active, with robots such as Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute's Direct Drive Arm I and Pluto Rover, GM Consight-I Project materials, Johns Hopkins University Adaptive Machines Group's Beast, Naval Systems International Sea Rover, and Rehabilitation Institute of Pittsburgh Page Turning Robot. The collections of Subassemblies and Components, Memories, Calculating Devices and Transducers continued to expand as well.The Computer Museum Report, Winter 1987/88. Spurred by the difficulty of preserving a fast- evolving technology built by future-oriented engineers and entrepreneurs, the Museum signed a joint collecting agreement with the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of American History to collectively ensure that important computing artifacts would be preserved.
