After completing high school Willem lines of classic ships such as liners, J-Class yachts or cargo ships. faced a major choice: listen to the call of the sea and become a Attention to detail was vital and many happy hours were spent sailor or pursue a career as an artist. The latter won the battle over researching his subjects.

LLOYD RRS ‘Discovery’ was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain. Designed for Antarctic research, she was launched in 1901 and designated as a Royal Research Ship (RRS) in 1923. The ship’s first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, successful journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition. In January 1902, Scott anchored in McMurdo Sound. The ship would remain there, locked in ice, for the next two years despite expecting JANUARY 2022 to move on in the spring. ‘Discovery’ was eventually freed on 16 February 1904 by the use of controlled explosives which allowed the ice to be moved away by butting and shunting, thus assisting in the breakup of the ice.

LLOYD The port of New Orleans on the Mississippi River was transformed by the development of paddlewheel steamboats in the early 19th century, allowing the large-scale transport of passengers and cargo in shallow water up and down the river. Steamboats carried huge quantities of cotton, rice, timber, tobacco and molasses. Strong currents, sandbanks and snags were constant dangers in steamboat navigation and the working life of a ship was rarely more than a few years. There were just 20 steamboats operating on the Mississippi in the 1810s but FEBRUARY 2022 by the 1830s there were more than 1,200.

    SEPTEMBER, 2013 VOLUME XXX, # 8 Friday, September 27 - 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan A Norwegian Coastal Voyage aboard m.s. LOFOTEN By Greg Fitzgerald Hurtigruten's LOFOTEN of 1964 is a final link to traditional coastal steamers along the Norwegian coast. Running in regular service on an 11-day round-trip run from Bergen, across the Arctic Circle, and up to Kirkenes in the far north of Norway, the little LOFOTEN shares this route with her larger and more modern Hurtigruten fleetmates. However, a voyage on LOFOTEN is something far beyond the experience of the modern Hurtigruten ships. It is a voyage to another time, on a ship which boasts many of the same features whose loss ship lovers have lamented as the last classic ocean liners went to the breakers in recent years. As LOFOTEN never leaves Norwegian waters in passenger service, she is not subject to the same SOLAS restrictions that international ships are; thus, she is filled with rich woods, gorgeous traditional artwork, and a cozy atmosphere. Branch Secretary Greg Fitzgerald will take us along on this 6-day journey, which he took in April 2013, and share what makes LOFOTEN so special to her enamored fans. He will share photos of the ship among the stunning Norwegian scenery, and describe the special atmosphere onboard and the stops along the historic coastal express route.

  • Union-Castle Purserette by Ann Haynes
    June 2021 VOLUME XXXVIII, # VI Friday, June 25, 2021 – VIA ZOOM at 6:00 PM UNION-CASTLE PURSERETTE BY ANN HAYNES For our June meeting, Ann Haynes will share how she came to join the famous Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company as a Purserette at sea. According to Ann, “The lavender-hulled Mail ships sailed from the English port of Southampton on a regular weekly liner service to South Africa, carrying passengers and cargo, and the first Mail ship I joined was TRANSVAAL CASTLE. It was hard work during the six-week voyage, but never dull. Over the years I served on other Union-Castle Line Mail ships such as the CAPETOWN CASTLE and the EDINBURGH CASTLE, and went to unexpected ports, including Ascension Island and St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, as well as Cape Town and other ports in South Africa.” Ann will share many pictures of the life she led and the uniforms she wore, and talk about her duties on board, including typing numerous passenger lists at every port, taking part in the Crossing the Line (Equator) ceremony, and helping to run passenger entertainments on board, as she sailed to and from South Africa. Ann wrote home regularly to her parents and took lots of pictures, which became the basis for her book, “Union-Castle Line Purserette.” She is always happy to share with others the memories and pictures of her interesting and enjoyable life.

  • Evolución Y Desarrollo De La Industria Del Crucero Pág
    1. - EVOLUCION Y DESARROLLO DE LA INDUSTRIA DEL CRUCERO 1.1. -Antecedentes históricos. La extendida idea de que la industria del crucero es de moderna concepción es, cuando menos, equivocada. Existen evidencias que demuestran que ya en 1845 había ofertas de viajes de crucero. No es menos cierto que el crucero no tenía ni la importancia ni el concepto popular que hoy impera en la industria. En aquella época era propio de una élite de privilegiados de poder económico muy alto. De la publicación “Cruise Ships” (Middlermiss 1997) traducimos una carta de propaganda de cruceros aparecida en 1845 en el Leipziger Illustriete Zeitung de Hamburgo, que puede considerarse como la primera propaganda conocida de un crucero de lujo. Se muestra la traducción libre castellano del idioma inglés de la carta original. Quote Se ofrece una oportunidad a aquellos viajeros que lo deseen para tomar parte en un crucero alrededor del mundo. El abajo firmante, naviero de Hamburgo, propone organizar y equipar un crucero con este fin en uno de sus buques para iniciarl el viaje el próximo verano. Durante este crucero los pasajeros podrán visitar las siguientes ciudades y países: Lisboa, Madeira, Tenerife, islas de Cabo Verde, Río de Janeiro, Río de la Plata, islas Fackland, Valparaíso y puertos de la costa sur del Pacífico y América del Sur, así como Guayaquil, islas Marquesas, y otros grupos de islas en el Océano Pacífico. También se visitará Choosan en China, Hongkong, Cantón, Manila, Singapore, Ceylan, Madagascar, Cabo de Buena Esperanza, isla de Santa Elena, islas Ascensión, Azores y regreso a Hamburgo.

HM Queen Elizabeth II smashes a jeroboam of Veuve Cliquot against the hull of the first express ocean liner built since 1969. The story of QUEEN MARY 2 begins. Ten years ago, the QM2 was considered a ship of superlatives in every way. She beat every other liner and cruise ship in every dimension; length (1,132 feet, beating FRANCE by 97 feet), tonnage (148,528 GRT, 8,958 GRT more than the Voyager-class ships of Royal Caribbean), and cost ($780 million in 2003, which equals $983 million today). She was considered the new standard of seagoing luxury, and a major ad campaign leading up to her launch called "Can you wait?" showed office workers in evening gowns and mothers serving breakfast in cocktail dresses. QM2 captivated the world in a way that no ship had in decades. Today, her size has been surpassed by several ships, but since the retirement of QUEEN ELIZABETH 2, she remains the only express ocean liner in service.

  • Italy and the Supreme War Council in World War I
    Misfortunes of the Moment: Italy and the Supreme War Council in World War I by Claudio Roberto Innocenti B.S., United States Military Academy, 2009 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Andrew Orr Copyright © Claudio Innocenti 2018. Abstract The history of Italy during World War I has often been characterized by the eleven bloody and inconsequential battles on the Isonzo River from 1915 to 1917. The twelfth battle, Caporetto, was one of the most lopsided defeats of the war. The subsequent development of an inter-Allied Supreme War Council has often been portrayed as a British and French creation with little Italian input. However, the defeat at Caporetto actually signified the rapid escalation of Italy’s influence among her Allies. Combined with American tentativeness and Russian collapse, the winter of 1917-1918 offered key Italian leaders the opportunity to manipulate debates on Allied strategy. Ultimately, the Italians could not keep true to the promises they made during a succession of inter- Allied conferences. This failure led to indecision by Italian leaders during the critical campaigns of 1918 and disillusionment in Italy itself during the post-war era.

These images of the sea promoted and publicized Italian foreign policy aims and aspirations as they shifted over the years from 1922 to 1942. At the same time, the images' emphasis on Italy's maritime heritage provided a rallying point for Italian national identity. Mussolini's government used Italian associations with the Mediterranean to foster a national as opposed to regional consciousness and to project abroad a vision of a culturally-unified and powerful Italy.
