An engineering marvel when it opened one hundred and one years ago, the 50-mile passage through the Panama Canal continues to astonish even the most veteran traveler. Experience fi rsthand the locks that raise and lower ships 85 feet using no other power than the force of gravity, accomplishing in mere hours what would have taken a three-week circumnavigation of South America in years past. We invite you to join us for this voyage of a lifetime featuring a passage through the historic Panama Canal with Penn faculty host, Professor Tom Van Winkle of the Penn Vet School. With Professor Van Winkle you will discover and explore the unspoiled rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama—their fl ora and fauna. During our comprehensive itinerary, visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites and Panama’s ancient San Blas Islands, where the Guna Indians live much as they did centuries ago. Tour one of acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s newest designs, Panama City’s Biodiversity Museum. Experience Panama’s and Costa Rica’s world-renowned and protected national parks—rainforests, islands and archipelagos that foster one of the most pristine ecosystems on our planet.

  • Seeschlachten Im Atlantik (Zusammenfassung)
    Seeschlachten im Atlantik (Zusammenfassung) U-Boot-Krieg (aus Wikipedia) 07_48/U 995 vom Typ VII C/41, der meistgebauten U-Boot-Klasse im Zweiten Weltkrieg Als U-Boot-Krieg (auch "Unterseebootkrieg") werden Kampfhandlungen zur See bezeichnet, bei denen U-Boote eingesetzt werden, um feindliche Kriegs- und Frachtschiffe zu versenken. Die Bezeichnung "uneingeschränkter U-Boot-Krieg" wird verwendet, wenn Schiffe ohne vorherige Warnung angegriffen werden. Der Einsatz von U-Booten wandelte sich im Laufe der Zeit vom taktischen Blockadebrecher zum strategischen Blockademittel im Rahmen eines Handelskrieges. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg änderte sich die grundsätzliche Einsatzdoktrin durch die Entwicklung von Raketen tragenden Atom- U-Booten, die als Träger von Kernwaffen eine permanente Bedrohung über den maritimen Bereich hinaus darstellen. Im Gegensatz zum Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg fand hier keine völkerrechtliche Weiterentwicklung zum Einsatz von U-Booten statt. Der Begriff wird besonders auf den Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg bezogen. Hierbei sind auch völkerrechtliche Rahmenbedingungen von Bedeutung. Anfänge Während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges wurden 1864 mehrere handgetriebene U-Boote gebaut. Am 17. Februar 1864 versenkte die C.S.S. H. L. Hunley durch eine Sprengladung das Kriegsschiff USS Housatonic der Nordstaaten. Es gab 5 Tote auf dem versenkten Schiff. Die Hunley gilt somit als erstes U-Boot der Welt, das ein anderes Schiff zerstört hat. Das U-Boot wurde allerdings bei dem Angriff auf die Housatonic durch die Detonation schwer beschädigt und sank, wobei auch seine achtköpfige Besatzung getötet wurde. Auftrag der Hunley war die Brechung der Blockade des Südstaatenhafens Charleston durch die Nordstaaten. Erster Weltkrieg Die technische Entwicklung der U-Boote bis zum Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges beschreibt ein Boot, das durch Dampf-, Benzin-, Diesel- oder Petroleummaschinen über Wasser und durch batteriegetriebene Elektromotoren unter Wasser angetrieben wurde.

  • SS Vaderland (Sister Ship Was the Zeeland) Jirik Zubalik (Age 27) and Son Anton (Tony) Boarded the SS Vaderland in Antwerp, Belgium, Sailing to America Via New York
    SS Vaderland (Sister Ship was the Zeeland) Jirik Zubalik (age 27) and son Anton (Tony) boarded the SS Vaderland in Antwerp, Belgium, sailing to America via New York. Their place of residence was listed as Vienna, Austria- Hungary. They arrived on October 30, 1905. The story goes that Jirik was asked by the captain to stay on board as an employee to help with translating because he knew several languages (including Czech and German). He said he couldn’t because he had to take care of his son (Tony who was 2 years old). Unknown to him, the ship had child care. Ruzena Frola Zubalik (age 32) emigrated in 1906 from Antwerp on the SS Zeeland (sister ship to the Vaderland). She traveled with Josef Frank, 1 ½ years old, an infant Rosa, 3 months, and Stanislava (Stella), 5 years old. Their place of residence was listed as “Uragnova.” Notes on the SS Vaderland The ship was built in 1900, maiden voyage was December 8, 1900. She sailed on the Red Star Steamship Line under the Belgian flag from May 16, 1903 to December 25, 1914. In 1915, the Dutch name “Vaderland” was changed to “Southland” so it wouldn’t be confused with the German ship, “Vaterland”. At that time, she sailed under the White Dominion Line to serve as troop transport. She was torpedoed in the Mediterranean and repaired in 1915. All but 40 of the 1400 men on board were rescued from lifeboats by other ships. On June 4, 1917, she was torpedoed by a German U-70 and sank near Tory Island, off the Irish coast.

    ATTACHMENT #3 SHIP MANIFEST FOR OLYMPIC (RADOVS) AND FINLAND (MANDIBERGS) Discussed in conversations of Bertha Blau, Jack Thompson and Alan Mandiberg. Radov Chronicles © Joel Levin SHIP MANIFEST FOR OLYMPIC (RADOVS & CAROLS) AND FINLAND (MANDIBERGS) The Radovs Radovs came to the United States in 1908, 1911 and 1922. It is unclear what passage was booked for the first two trips, with only limited family members making the initial voyages. In 1908, Joe Radov and Raful Carl, with his older children Morris and Minnie, came. In 1911, Joe Radov returned for his wife, Cirka (Sarah), and two children, Sam and Gus, as well as his sister, Ida, to help care for the children should one need to be left at Ellis Island for quarantine. In 1922, when most of the Radovs arrived, it was aboard the R.M.S. Olympic. The passage (described further in Attachment 17, A76‐79), which began in Russia and Bucharest, departed from Cherbourg, France on the coast of Normandy. Luba Radov gave birth on ship, mid‐Atlantic, to Anna. The vessel itself, the Olympic, was the sister ship to the Titanic on the White Star Line. The earlier trip in 1911 by the Mandibergs was made on the U.S.S. Finland, a ship that, at least after some re‐chartering, joined the White Star Line in 1909. Like the occasionally troubled Finland, the Olympic could be a dangerous carrier. It collided with the H.M.S. Hawke, but unlike the most famous ship of the White Star Line, the Titanic, it did not sink altogether. The Olympic in New York in 1911 on her maiden voyage.

    Belgian Laces Volume 14 #53 December 1992 Belgian Laces Vol14 #53 Dear Members, The end of the year is approaching rapidly in Belgium and in most of Europe, the children are anxiously looking forward to December 6, when St Nicolas will come with gifts for the good children and the “martinet” (whip) for the bad ones. There will also be plenty of speculoos and massepain oranges and apples. Just thinking of the expectations, the fears and joys make us long for the holiday atmosphere of “the old country”. Then come the family reunions of Christmas, the joys of being together and sharing the blessings of the holidays. The New Year too brings special traditions, where the chi1dren will read their specially prepared “New Years Letters”: one for the parents, one for the grandparents and one for their godparents, who each will give them a few francs or a special present The children have worked hard on these letters, wilting them using their most beautiful handwriting and vocabulary! New Year too is the time for resolutions, decisions and promises. Decisions… promises… we asked you last year to help us raise the number of our membership to 400. We are delighted to let you know that we gave membership number to the last subscriber. Thanks and congratulations to you all! We want to do even better for 1993 and hope to reach or pass the 500 mark by the end of the year. With your continuous support, we should be able to do just that. The more we are the more we can help each other.
