The FRS management wishes you and your families for the upcoming quarter a very happy Easter and a Following these principles, the acquisition of Clipper Ramadan Mubarak. Navigation last year was a natural move for the FRS Group. Götz Becker After 30 years in business, Clipper is not only a CEO shipping company with a fleet of three high speed catamarans but has their core business in the travel industry. Having established a reputation as the trusted Pacific Northwest travel experts, Clipper today competes with travel industry giants like Booking.com and Airbnb. The company provides highly curated and authentic travel getaways and experiences that are personally vetted for their customers – something that is unique at this extent within the FRS Group and can serve as a great example. FRS – Fast Reliable Seaways FRS 360° Issue 2|2017 3 A transatlantic marriage – happily ever after? Lessons Learned To say that this is an easy “engagement” would be an “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is understatement. And to say this has been an easy progress, and working together is success.” process for Clipper and FRS would be the same. An Henry Ford ownership change is a pivotal event in the long-term development of any organization and raises all types of questions and concerns. You’ve locked eye across a crowded room, you slowly make your way towards each other, and you know the While the two companies are culturally close, share the rest: you meet someone, you fall in love, you do the same goals and values and match on many levels, both “due diligence”, you get engaged, you sign the deal and have experienced some misunderstandings along the you live happily ever after... way.

HSC “Victoria Clipper IV“ at the quay in Seattle FRS – Fast Reliable Seaways FRS 360° Issue 2|2017 5 Tarifa, its port, and how FRS changed the concept of crossing the Strait of Gibraltar Located in the Province of Cádiz (Andalucía), Tarifa is the southernmost place in Europe, and the town that marks the point where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. With just 18,000 inhabitants and at 14.4 km (about 9 nautical miles) at its closest point to the Moroccan coast, Tarifa is placed in a strategic enclave, which gives it great geographical, maritime and tourist importance. Bolonia Beach FRS evidently adds greatly to the enrichment of Tarifa as a tourist destination, mostly through its excursions to Tangier. This is a key tourist activity, since it allows the visitor to see a different country and continent: all in one day and in less than 1 hours' ferry journey. That's why thousands of tourists choose our day trips, Tarifa Island which include a guided tour and lunch, to have their first contact with Morocco, its culture and gastronomy. (For more information on our day trips, please visit www.FRS.es) But, out of everything that can be found in Tarifa, the most important part from FRS's point of view is, of course, its port. A port that has grown unstoppably in the last few years and which has become, so far, the "home" of 9 FRS Group's fast ferries: “Hanse Jet”, “Tanger Jet”, “Nordic Jet”, “Baltic Jet”, “Thunder Cat”, “Tarifa Jet”, “Tanger Jet 2”, “Algeciras Jet” and “Ceuta Jet”. All of them have been, as we've said before, High Speed Craft (HSC). Tarifa Island Tarifa is a town with great tourist interest: every summer, over 70,000 people (more than three times its population) from all over the world come to stay here. The beaches, the climate, the nautical sports, such as kite surfing and wind surfing; the wide range of activities and the variety of food on offer are the main reasons why every year more and more people are choosing Tarifa as their holiday destination. HSC “Hanse Jet“ One of the main attractions in Tarifa is Bolonia beach, which is about 3.8 km long and which was voted the 6 FRS5th –best Fast Reliablebeach Seaways in Europe and 2nd in Spain, in the Trip FRS 360° Issue 2|2017 Advisor1's Traveler’s Choice awards in 2015. But what is most important about this, is the fact that FRS changed the concept of crossing that had existed until then, with a great investment to back their move.

First, my greatest thanks go to my advisor, Diane Owen Hughes, who has guided, supported, and taught me throughout my graduate studies at Michigan. Her intellectual brilliance and breadth of knowledge has shaped this dissertation and my own thinking in so many ways. I could not have asked for a better mentor. I also want to give a special thanks to my dissertation committee. I learned much from long discussions with Michael Bonner, who shares my enthusiasm for the history of medieval and early modern geography and cartography. His advice on sources to consult and paths to follow has been instrumental in the completion of this project. I thank Hussein Fancy, for stimulating conversations and for always pushing me to think in new ways. I have further benefitted from my other committee members, Emilie Savage-Smith and Karla Mallette. Their careful reading and thoughtful critiques have been invaluable to me. At Michigan, the Department of History, the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program, the Eisenberg Institute, and the Rackham Graduate School have provided an intellectual home as well as funding for my research and writing.

    La Comisión Europea ( Educación y cultura Cultura 2000 Landscape and Culturaland EconomicResource inEuropean ArcheologicalSites. General Evaluation. LANDSCAPE AND CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC RESOURCE IN EUROPEAN ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES. GENERAL EVALUATION Project. Since its founding in 1990, the Andalusian lnstitute of Historical Heritage (AIHH) has adopted a wide-ranging view of the concept of "cultural asset". Cultural assets are considered to be just one of the many elements that make up an environment or "cultural landscape" of which they are an integral part. For this reason, and as one of the earliest initiatives of the lnstitute, an experimental project in preventive conservation was organized in 1992-93 at the Royal Chapel of Granada, located in the Cathedral of Granada, Spain. The project received collaboration from the Royal Belgian Heritage lnstitute, the Central lnstitute for Restoration of Rome, the Université Livre of ( Brussels and the University of Granada in order to protect a collection of Queen Isabel the Catholic's art objects and whose origins could be traced to a number of European places. This ( initiative, therefore, is illustrative of how the Andalusian lnstitute of Historical Heritage has, from the ( very time of its conception, felt a calling towards collaborative efforts which reflect the view that ( historical assets are a product of many converging cultural factors. ( The complex relationship existing between a cultural asset and its surroundings was also dealt with by the AIHH through a project entitled ALLIANCES FOR CONSERVATION, which arose as an idea ( for an exhibit held at the World Heritage Cities Encounter held in Evora, Portugal in September 1997. The project was led by the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Culture, represented by the AIHH and supportedby the Getty lnstitute for Conservation and the Town Council of Evora.
