It is regretful that Mrs. Melina Mercuris who had accepted with enthusiasm the proposal made by Mr. Harry Tzalas for the organization of this encounter, cannot be among us today. An unexpected commitment obliges the Minister to be in Venice. Since the dawn of history Greece has been very closely "tied" to the sea. We as a Nation owe so much to the Ancient Shipwrights and to the Ancient Mariners. Without their skill in building good ships and their ability in sailing, Greece would -ot be what she is. We are aware that an important part of our heritage lies in the Mediterranean Sea. We want to learn as much as possible about how ships were built and how ships sailed in ancient times. There could be no more appropriate place for your first encounter than Piraeus; the Piraeus of Themistokles with the ancient ports of Zea, Munichia, Kantharos; Piraeus with its Trieres but also with its merchant ships trading and communicating throughout the bounderies of the known world. I welcome you under the sign of Posseidon protector of Maritime activities and of Xenios Zeus patron-god of hospitality. May your meeting be fruitful and your stay in Greece pleasant. With these thoughts and wishes, I now declare the Symposium open. Spyros Mercuris Ladies and gentlemen, It is a privilege and a pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, to the 1st International Symposium on "Ship Construction in Antiquity". I would like to thank you all for your presence, and in partizular the participants who will present papers. , We feel greatly honored that so many distinguished scientists and scholars from Greece, other European countries, the United States and Canada have accepted our invitation. The selection of this location was intentional. We had to choose among several large conference-halls. The Ceres building amphitheater was selected, mainly, for two reasons: we wanted to obtain the intimate, warm and friendly atmosphere that a small but well designed space can create, secondly we wanted to be near -within walking distance- from the great and, I dare say, unique exhibition "Greece and the Sea". Marine Archaeology is a relatively new discipline and the number of its experts worldwide, is limited. Practically nothing was known at the beginning of this century about the way ships were built in antiquity. It is only after the discovery of the Antekythera ship-wreck that a different method of construction - that later became to be known "as the shell first" - was suspected.

    242 Salvage Stories, Preserving Narratives, and Museum Ships Andrew Sawyer* Abstract Preserved ships and other vessels are associated with a historiography, in Europe at least, which is still marked by parochialism, antiquarianism, and celebratory narrative. Many evidence difficult histories, and they are also extremely expensive to preserve. Yet, they are clearly valued, as nations in Europe invest heavily in them. This survey examines a range of European examples as sites of cultural, political and national identity. An analytical framework foregrounding the role of narrative and story reveals three aspects to these exhibits: explicit stories connected with specific nations, often reinforcing broader, sometimes implicit, national narratives; and a teleological sequence of loss, recovery and preservation, influenced by nationality, but very similar in form across Europe. Key words: European; maritime; ships; narrative; nationalism; identity; museums. Introduction European nations value their maritime and fluvial heritage, especially as manifested in ships and boats. What may be the world’s oldest watercraft, from around 8,000 BC, is preserved at the Drents Museum in Assen, the Netherlands (Verhart 2008: 165), whilst Greece has a replica of a classical Athenian trireme, and Oslo has ships similar to those used by the Norse to reach America. Yet, such vessels are implicated in a problematic historiography (Smith 2011) tending to parochialism and antiquarianism (Harlaftis 2010: 214; Leffler 2008: 57-8; Hicks 2001), and which often (for whatever reason) avoids new historiographical approaches in favour of conventional celebratory narratives (Witcomb 2003: 74). They are also linked to well-known problematic histories of imperialism and colonialism. They are sites of gender bias: ‘Vasa has from its construction to its excavation been the prerogative and the playground of men’ (Maarleveld 2007: 426), and they are still popularly seen as providing access to ‘toys for boys’ (Gardiner 2009: 70).

Taken together, the literature on the Titanic, Bounty, and Columbus’s Niña, Pinta, and Santa María comprises hundreds of books and articles.

    Turtle Ship - Wikipedia

    2/28/2021 Turtle ship - Wikipedia Turtle ship A Geobukseon (Korean: 거북선, Korean pronunciation: [kʌbuksən]), also known as turtle ship in western descriptions, was a type of large Korean warship that was used intermittently by the Royal Korean Navy during the Joseon dynasty from the early 15th century up until the 19th century. It was used alongside the panokseon warships in the fight against invading Japanese naval ships. The ship's name derives from its protective shell-like covering.[1] One of a number of pre-industrial armoured ships developed in Europe and in East Asia, this design has been described by some as the first armored ship in the world.[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_ship 1/14 2/28/2021 Turtle ship - Wikipedia A scaled-down turtle ship replica at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul.

    UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units

    Appendix 1 UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units Background When Christopher Cockerell was seeking support for the development of the hovercraft principle, it was the intervention of the late Earl Mountbatten that was of signifi cant help. With his background in Amphibious Warfare, he immediately saw the potential for this new concept, so much so that it was initially classifi ed as Top Secret. Eventually, the Saunders Roe, SR.N1, was built and launched on 11 June 1959 to further evaluate the potential of the concept. This new vehicle attracted great pub- licity and interest in the UK. Military interest led to the formation of an Interservice Hovercraft Working Party in 1961 and the formation of the Interservice Hovercraft (Trials) Unit (IHTU) at HMS Ariel (later HMS Daedalus), at Lee-on-the-Solent just west of Portsmouth harbour. IHTU personnel were drawn from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force and the Army. The different Service backgrounds and training assisted both in routine maintenance and fault fi nding on these special craft. Additionally, after the traditional 3-year tour, personnel were drafted to active units and able to spread the message about the usefulness of amphibious hovercraft. Figure A1.1 shows the Unit in the NHTU days with SR.N6, BH 7 and VT 2 craft present. The Early Days In order to evaluate hovercraft military potential, to start with craft were hired from their manufacturers and operated from Lee-on-the-Solent. These evaluations served the double purpose of enabling Service personnel to gain experience of hovercraft operations and assisting manufacturers in the development of their craft.

    Swan River Belonging: Social and Emotional Interactions with an Urban River in the South West of Western Australia

    Swan River Belonging: social and emotional interactions with an urban river in the South West of Western Australia Marie Seeman Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology, University of Queensland This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2008 Marie Seeman 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I explore concepts of belonging in relation to the Swan River of Perth, Western Australia. The primary focus of my research was on the various ways in which people expressed their social and emotional connections to a waterway often referred to as the 'soul of the city'. The people consulted derived from two main groups: a local inner city catchment group and a collection of artists. Drawing on literature such as Kay Milton's theories of emotion, culture and the environment to explain my ethnographic data, I show how and why people's interactions with the Swan River are motivated and enacted. This thesis demonstrates that human relationships with rivers such as the Swan are complicated by themes that include nostalgia, memory, aesthetics, space, proximity, ecological concerns and development issues. By drawing on a range of methods (participant observation, interviewing) and travel modes (walking, cycling), I found that current day practices were affected by historical decision making for both indigenous and non-indigenous groups. My research conveys the value of doing socio-cultural research on rivers in urban and in other contexts,
