Half Moon Take an Underwater Tour Audio Transcripts Midships A portion of Half Moon’s starboard hull and railing has become detached from the boat and lies in the sand nearby. This may have occurred when another vessel accidentally collided with Half Moon’s hull sometime after she sank. A wide variety of sponges and soft corals call Half Moon’s chrome-nickel hull, hatches, and portholes home. Bow The bow section of the vessel rises prominently from the white sand. Visible today are the hawseholes which were used for guiding the anchor chains, the bowsprit collar, and the deck fasteners. Much of the wooden main deck on Half Moon has long since eroded, leaving behind the remains of the hull frames and fasteners. Here is the view below the deck. As you can see, the shipwreck is home to many species of marine life, including fish, invertebrates, sponges, and corals. Stern The 154 foot, steel wreck still has teak decking from Gordon Woodbury’s remodeling of Half Moon in the 1920s. Some of the vessel’s exposed structural features include the port side hull frames, which stand four to five feet off the sandy bottom, the main sheet winches, both port and starboard, and the running gear. Along the railing, on both the port and starboard sides, we find the main cleats which secured the running rigging of the sailing yacht when she was underway. The helm station, which held the boat’s steering wheel, is located amidships. Nearby we see a skylight that provided light to the dining area below decks. .

Globalization in Transition: the Future of Trade and Value Chains
GLOBALIZATION IN TRANSITION: THE FUTURE OF TRADE AND VALUE CHAINS JANUARY 2019 AboutSince itsMGI founding in 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, income inequality, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: Jacques Bughin, Jonathan Woetzel, and James Manyika, who also serves as the chairman of MGI. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, and Jaana Remes are MGI partners, and Mekala Krishnan and Jeongmin Seong are MGI senior fellows. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey offices around the world.
