Frolic (brig)
The ''Frolic'' was a brig which sank northeast of Point Cabrillo, near Caspar, California. Historians have called it "the most significant shipwreck on the west coast". Its shipwreck site, later known as "Pottery Cove" or "Frolic Cove", was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Frolic (brig) in 1991. The ship was built in Baltimore. It was on return from trading in China with a load of porcelain and perhaps opium when it sank. The opium-trading brig ''Frolic'' wrecked on a reef north of Point Cabrillo, a few miles from what is now Mendocino in 1850. Agents of Henry Meiggs investigated the wreck for salvageable cargo but found that anything of value had already been taken by the local Pomo people, possibly coming from Buldam near modern Mendocino. However, their investigation led to the discovery of the coast redwood forests of the Mendocino area and the beginning of the timber trade that would drive the local economy for decades... Mendocino itself was foun ...

Arthur Piver
Arthur Piver (; "Piver rhymes with diver"; 1910–1968) was a World War II pilot, an amateur sailor, author, printshop owner and renowned boatbuilder who lived in Mill Valley on San Francisco Bay and became "the father of the modern multihull." Career In the late 1950s and 1960s Piver designed and built a series of simple three-hulled, plywood yachts starting with a 16 footer and culminating in a 64-footer that was built in England for charter in the Caribbean. (The word "trimaran" was coined by Viktor Tchetchet, a Ukrainian emigrant to the US who tested his boats on Long Island sound in the late 1940s.) Piver crossed the Atlantic on his first ocean-going boat, the demountable 30 foot ''Nimble'', departing from Swansea, Mass, stopping in the Azores, and successfully reaching Plymouth, England. He then began selling do-it-yourself plans through a company called '' Pi-Craft''. He thought anyone could build one of his boats even if they had no experience. In 1962, Piver built hims ...

Frolic (law)
Frolic and detour in the law of torts occur when an employee (or agent) makes a physical departure from the service of his employer (or principal). A ''detour'' occurs when an employee or agent makes a minor departure from his employer's charge whereas a ''frolic'' is a major departure when the employee is acting on his own and for his own benefit, rather than a minor sidetrack in the course of obeying an order from the employer. The employer will be relieved of vicarious liability, which is usually assessed through the doctrine of ''respondeat superior'' for torts committed by the employee only if the employee has been deemed to engage in a frolic. Similarly, in the law of workers' compensation, an employer is not liable for injuries incurred by an employee during a frolic, but the employer can still face liability for the results of a detour. The term was coined in ''Joel v Morison''. Underlying rule of liability An employer is vicariously liable for the unintentional torts ...
