BRAND This article initiates a series in which the writer will attempt to summarize the scattered and commonly contradictory material on the present ethnic and linguistic constituency of a number of Latin Ameri- can countries. It represents some personal investigations in the field and an examination of much of the pertinent literature. Chile has been a sovereign state since the War of Independence 1810-26. This state was founded upon a nuclear area west of the Andean crest and essentially between 240 and 460 South Latitude. Through the War of the Pacific with Bolivia and Perui in 1879-1883 and peaceful agreements with Argentina, Chile acquired her present extention from Arica to Tierra del Fuego. These northern and south- ern acquisitions added little to her population but introduced numerous small ethnic and linguistic groups. Chile has taken national censuses in 1835, 1843, 1854, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1907, 1920, 1930, and the most recent one in November of 1940.

At 2 o’clock I went by the Oroya train to Callao; when there, accompanied by Mr. Higginson, to the store of Grace Brothers & Co., to purchase some duck, “lona”, which I required for the curtains, or “velas”, in my Chorrillos rancho, those which I had bought several years back, at the same time as the rancho itself, having become torn and useless; various samples were shewn me, however I made no purchase, because, as the salesman told me, of the quality best adapted, they had several bales aboard a vessel in the bay, from which they could not be landed for eight or ten days. Enriqueta was again ill with migraine, and kept her bed; neither did I go in the evening to the salita, where Garland played rocambor with his friends. Friday, 14th of March 1879. Ricardo read me an article from the Cologne Gazette which said that the plague which had committed great ravages mostly in the vicinity of Astrakhan, owed its origin to the clothes and other articles, which, torn off on the field of battle from half putrefied corpses, had been carried by the Cossacks to their homes on their return from the late Turco- Russian war.

  • Crew and Passenger Deaths from Vessel Accidents in United Kingdom Passenger Ships Since 1900
    Int Marit Health 2019; 70, 1: 1–10 DOI: 10.5603/IMH.2019.0001 www.intmarhealth.pl ORIGINAL ARTICLE Copyright © 2019 PSMTTM ISSN 1641–9251 Crew and passenger deaths from vessel accidents in United Kingdom passenger ships since 1900 Tim Carter1, John G. Williams2, Stephen E. Roberts2 1Norwegian Centre for Maritime and Diving Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, Norway 2Medical School, Swansea University, Swansea, United Kingdom ABstract Background: There is very limited systematic analysis of the causes and consequences of maritime accidents across the whole passenger sector during the twentieth century either in United Kingdom (UK) or in other maritime nations, but some of the larger events have been the subject of detailed investigations that led to improved safety measures. In recent years, there has been increased attention to the analysis of passenger ship accidents, especially in relation to the two now dominant markets: vehicle/passenger ferries and cruise ships. Materials and methods: Long-term trends since 1900 in passenger and crew deaths on UK seagoing pas- senger ships that have sustained a maritime accident, as defined by Lloyds Register, have been collated and analysed. Results: Over the course of the 20th century, there has been a continuous fall in the number of incidents and in their severity. This may be a reflection of improved vessel safety, however the scale and nature of UK passenger shipping has also changed markedly over the period. Conclusions: In addition to the reducing frequency of deaths it is apparent that the majority of fatalities in both crew and passengers came from a very small number of major events during the study period.

It was during the 19th, century, however, that Sunderland shipyards flourished. These were located mainly around the Sands area of Wearside. North Sands was the most densely populated in terms of number of yards. By 1840 there were 76 shipyards along the Sands at Sunderland. By the mid-1850s the local newspaper, The Sunderland Herald, was acclaiming Sunderland as “the greatest shipbuilding port in the world,” with around 3,000 ships a year being built. Most were sailing ships. But the number of steam-powered ships was increasing. The last sailing ship to come out of the Sunderland yards was in 1893.

  • Tourism Development and Fisheries Management Among the Political Ghosts of Pisagua, Chile
    Voices of a Natural Prison: Tourism Development and Fisheries Management among the Political Ghosts of Pisagua, Chile Sarah Keene Meltzoff, Michael Lemons, and Yair G. Lichtensztajn Division of Marine Affairs & Policy Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Introduction “Up in the old abandoned hospital building where four migrant fishermen’s fami- lies have set up households, one of the wives has a turquoise triggerfish drying on her clothesline, calling it a piranha. She explains that this year, thanks to El Niño, marine life typically found more offshore or in tropical waters is appearing in Pisagua, while stocks they normally harvest have dwindled.” (Meltzoff, fieldnotes, 1998) Caught between the sea and a cliff in one of the world’s driest deserts, Pisagua’s coastal landscape is being transformed by the ways people utilize its natural isolation and rich sheltered waters. Turn-of-the-century Pisagua was a thriving nitrate transshipment port with five wharves and colonial-style wooden architecture. With the Depression and the demise of the nitrate world market, Pisagua diminished almost to a ghost town. While Iquique,1 the city 162 km. to the south by road (see Map 1), expanded from a dusty frontier port to a flourishing city, Pisagua stagnated economically and suffered for decades as a prison base. Because of this, the name Pisagua nationally evokes images of political prisoners, mass graves, and torture. This reputation, combined with Pisagua’s natural isolation and desolation at the end of a steep treacherous road, have deterred most people from moving to Pisagua. Few, save a small group of migrant fishermen, have been willing to live here without the amenities that modern Chilean society takes for granted, such as electricity, telephone, and paved roads.
