January 1999     

Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to announce the establishment of my new firm, providing the following services:

MARINE SURVEYOR & CONSULTANT

As president of Charles C. Deroko, Inc., I conduct structural surveys for commercial and small craft, including Condition & Value surveys, on & off hire surveys, damage and trip & tow surveys. I write bid specifications for shipyard work, and oversee contract agreements as the owners representative. I am proficient in mechanical and structural drawing.

RESEARCH & RESTORATION

I direct all phases of survey and restoration for museum and historic vessels, including planning, research, design, construction, and project management. I have first hand experience in the maritime trades, including machine shop practices, oxy-acetylene burning, electric arc welding, pneumatic riveting, rigging and wire splicing. I have worked on the restoration of steel, iron and wooden hulled vessels, and am highly qualified in organizing and supervising skilled work crews.

I consult on State and Federal grant proposals, providing technical and historical data, and draft budgets based on accurate cost and materials estimates.

As Waterfront Department Head at the South Street Seaport Museum, I was in charge of restoration and maintenance of the following historic ships:

The German bark, PEKING (3180 gt)

The British full-rigged ship, WAVERTREE (2180 gt)

The lightship, AMBROSE (689 gt)

The tug, W.O. DECKER (26 gt)

 

I also operated the Museum's two schooners:

PIONEER (47 gt) and

LETTIE G. HOWARD (84 gt)

 

LICENSED CAPTAIN

I hold a current license for commercial towing and auxiliary sail, with many years of practical sea-going experience. I am available to conduct sea trials.

During the past twenty-five years I have cultivated excellent professional and trustworthy affiliations with naval architects, shipyard managers, contractors and suppliers. I look forward to discussing your projects with you.

Charles C. Deroko,

President
