Exhibit 14 shows this an engineer's tender, which originally would have been for ferrying cargo short distances between a dock and a larger vessel, or between two vessels. The engineer who owned this vessel used the deck as a pickup for engineering projects, delivering larger parts like generators, or using it as he is here, as a mobile workshop. Engineers and those able to ferry parts were a key part in Post Deluge Society
Exhibit 6 shows a single occupant hazardous environment vehicle, with many life support systems crammed into the smallest possible space. Indeed, in case of an emergency evacuation, if the canopy was unable to lift up and out of the way, the pilot would have to physically slide back the foot pedal platform in order to squeeze down to the evacuation hatch. This was fitted with explosive bolts for rapid exit. The fully enclosed canopy could support the pilot for many hours at a time in or around hazardous conditions.
This vehicle was used for visual inspections of vehicles and cargo. The large canopy allowed a wide view with a panoramic heads up display to record and send information. Using vehicles like these, a merchant co-op could keep easy tabs and physical presence in their particular field, helping to control their area in whatever conditions. The rear canopy helped protect the powerful motor and kit, the vehicle was designed to be small enough to manoeuvre between docked ships, and to land easily on their deck, or inside a cargo hold. They were also key for early salvage operations, researching and scouting.
