re: #109 wrenchwench

I thought of that, because I know there are clubs that match sighted captains with blind stokers, but would being a stoker give a sense of “…the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.”?

Probably not, but it’s better than nothing. I’m not sure they had them back then, but I’m guessing with enough time and patience a deaf & blind person could learn how to balance on rollers. The effort required can be appreciated without mastery.
