Rix Robinson’s biography by Hon. George H. White

This is early early Michigan History and extremely interesting. Pack a lunch because it’s a long well written story by my 3rd Great Grandfather. Better yet, download it and save it forever and a day!! This story is the memorial biography of Hon. Rix Robinson and can be found on find a grave. Although, the way it’s presented here is a billion times better. At least!!

Hon. George H. White. My 3rd Great Grandfather on my Mother’s side

Michigan Pioneer Hon. Rix Robinson
Rix’s son Rev. John Rix Robinson married Lucy Ann Withey. Lucy Ann was the daughter of Solomon Withey and Clementine Granger. Solomon Withey had seven children by Julia Granger 1st and seven children by Clementine Granger 2nd. They were sisters and Solomon married Clementine after Julia died. Solomon Withey and Julia Granger were my 3rd great grandparents.
Later, I’ll post the very interesting biographies of Hon. George H. White and Rev. John Rix Robinson.

Arrival at the Straits of Magellan

The new rig was transported from Spain to Argentina on a heavy lift ship. We towed the rig 500 miles South to the Straits of Magellan. It looks like I have some grease on my chin? A good day indeed!!
We are positioning the rig so it can finish jacking up. The other vessel is a brand spanking new 265 foot diesel electric, exactly the same as the one I’m on. The picture below will give you an idea of how long the legs are on a this type of rig. During the 500 mile tow the rigs legs were extended down 125 feet into the water for stability reasons.
Yes, this is a Jackup Rig.
