Meet Alvin Felosofo, Teekay’s very own Wiper and now, also a sculptor.
Wiper by profession, sculptor in his free time, Wiper Alvin Felosofo crafted a wooden replica of Pinnacle Spirit while he was onboard. Alvin has always nourished his love for art with drawing, painting, and creating miniatures as his favorite hobbies.
After a few months of serving his regular tenure onboard Pinnacle Spirit, Alvin proceeded to collect old wooden pallets and carve them into a shape of a ship. He then added the rest of the main features such as the accommodation, cranes, funnels, and rudders. He even worked on the smallest details like the chains, railings, and ladders. All these were achieved using extra and unused resources onboard.
Alvin passionately worked on his project during his free time, after his hours of duty. Chief Engineer Abhishek Bisht and everyone onboard were equally delighted and continued to encourage Alvin to complete the project before his tenure ended.
With his efforts and everyone’s cheers, the project was completed on the eve of the New Year.
Alvin credits his inspiration to the special bond and Teamwork of his shipmates onboard.
We present to you, “Pinnacle Spirit” by Wiper Alvin Felosofo.
