The reports showcase the city’s activity under two different administrations; I would like to express my gratitude to all who served under the previous administration, as well as to those who have labored diligently since January 1 to make Honolulu a better place to live. I am proud the City and County of Honolulu has accomplished so very much during the last six months. Though we have managed to exceed virtually all of many ambitious goals, we know we have a long way to go and our commitments remain steadfast. During the last half of FY 2013, the city repaired a record number of deteriorating roads and has surpassed the annual goal established at the start of 2013. We restored bus routes that were shut down during difficult economic times by the previous administration, and we are contemplating opportunities to create new routes that will make a positive difference to commuters in the future. In the same vein we remain committed to quality mass transit, determined to build rail better. We continue to work closely with HART’s executive leadership in order to ensure fiscal

West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

This guide is intended to help better understand the key construction elements, usage and installation of your sail.

    Spring 1991 $1.50 Pennsylvania • The Keystone States Official Boating Magazine Viewpoint Recently we received a letter suggesting that we were being contradictory in Boat Pennsylvania. According to one reader, we suggested that boaters wear personal flota- tion devices, but that the magazine photographs don't always show their use. Obtaining photographs for a magazine can be a difficult proposition. Sometimes we stage situations and take the photographs ourselves. More often, we rely on photographs submitted by contributors. Photos that depict the general boating public often do not show people wearing PFDs simply because the incidence of wearing them is so low. If we were to say that we would only use photos that showed boaters wearing PFDs, we would have a difficult time fmding acceptable photos. Generally, we try to show people wearing PFDs in small boats in situations in which devices should obviously be worn. On large boats, people most often do not wear their PFDs. Should people wear PFDs? Statistics show that wearing a PFD can save your life. Are PFDs needed all the time? Because accidents happen when they are least expected, wearing a PFD all the time is a good idea. Practically, however, as comfortable as the newest PFDs are, they can be excruciating on a hot July day. Many boaters also want to get a little sun. We accept this and our statistics show that the chances of having an accident where a PFD would have been a factor are much lower in the summer months. Ofcourse, circumstances do exist in which wearing a PFD,even on the hottest day, is warranted.

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

Safety Sailing the brigantines safely is our primary goal and the Los Angeles Maritime Institute has an enviable safety record. We should stress, however, that these ships are NOT rides at Disneyland. These are large and powerful sailing vessels and you can be injured, or even killed, if proper procedures are not followed in a safe, orderly, and controlled fashion. As a crewmember you have as much responsibility for the safe running of these vessels as any member of the crew, including the ship’s officers. 1.

Pang POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Feb 03, 2015 LAST UPDATED: 09:37 a.m. HST, Feb 03, 2015 Halfway into his first term, Hono­lulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell retains job performance approval from more than 2 out of 3 registered voters. The 70 percent approval rating from 322 registered voters, as reported in the latest Hawaii Poll, is statistically unchanged from the 72 percent approval rating that registered voters gave Caldwell on the same question in February 2014. The latest poll was conducted Jan. 13-23 by Ward Research Inc. for the Hono­lulu Star-Advertiser and Hawaii News Now. This portion of the poll has a margin of error of 5.5 percentage points. The strong approval rating comes despite vocal opposition to Caldwell's policies pushing through sit-lie ordinances addressing homelessness and establishing a dedicated bicycle-only lane on King Street. The results also come as Caldwell solidifies his contentious position to support the extension of the 0.5 percent general excise tax surcharge imposed on Oahu consumers beyond 2021 in order to meet a construction budget shortfall and future needs of Hono­lulu's rail project. Caldwell said the poll results reaffirm the hard work of his administration and the city's civil servants.
