Senior Class Spring Break Bahamas Cruise At Royal Caribbean International we understand that when choosing a vacation, everyone's preferences are as different as the destinations we sail to. A Royal Caribbean International cruise vacation offers something for everyone: a variety of classes and excursions, bustling nightlife, moments of quiet relaxation or fun for the whole family. From our state-of-the-art ships to our exhilarating activities and amazing destinations, a Royal Caribbean International cruise is the vacation adventure of a lifetime. The ultimate vacation begins with Royal Caribbean International. Close to the East Coast of the United States, the Bahamas are an excellent and a far more fun escape from the harsh winters of the north than, say, buying a new winter coat. The good time doesn’t stop at fine, sugar-white sand and sun, however. On a Bahamas cruise, you'll get to swim with dolphins and tropical fish in the turquoise waters, or soar above the sea in a parasail. Then explore the islands’ thrilling history as a pirate haven and one-time “Privateer’s Republic”—with Blackbeard himself as the magistrate. You don’t have to say “aaaaaargh,” we promise. pg 2 of 10 © 2012 Royal Caribbean LTD.

    PBHFS – RFP 2018 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS PASSENGER FERRY OPERATOR For the PENINSULA AT BAYONNE HARBOR BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY JUNE 12, 2018 1 PBHFS – RFP 2018 I. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION WELCOME TO THE CITY OF BAYONNE AND THE PENINSULA AT BAYONNE HARBOR: Bayonne’s shipping port terminal on New York Bay, built in 1932 to create additional industrial space for the city, was taken over by the U.S. Navy during World War II and the U.S. Army in 1967. Ships carried goods from the terminal for every major U.S. military operation from World War II to the Persian Gulf and Haiti missions in the 1990s. At its peak, the Military Ocean Terminal at Bayonne (MOTBY) employed 3,000 civilian and armed services personnel – many of whom lived in the area – and handled more than 1 million tons of cargo each year. But with the end of the Cold War and the subsequent decreasing need for the deployment of U.S. forces, the federal government decided to close MOTBY down in 1995, despite strong opposition from state and local officials. Jobs were phased out over the next three years; the closure was complete in 1999. But the value of this former naval supply center was obvious to some. In 2002, MOTBY was officially renamed The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor by the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority (BLRA) – the city’s redevelopment arm. Plans were unveiled to redevelop the 430-acre former ocean terminal into a mixed-use complex. The project began in 2002, environmental cleanup was completed, building were demolished and construction began.

  • Epilogue 1941—Present by BARBARA LA ROCCO
    Epilogue 1941—Present By BARBARA LA ROCCO ABOUT A WEEK before A Maritime History of New York was re- leased the United States entered the Second World War. Between Pearl Harbor and VJ-Day, more than three million troops and over 63 million tons of supplies and materials shipped overseas through the Port. The Port of New York, really eleven ports in one, boasted a devel- oped shoreline of over 650 miles comprising the waterfronts of five boroughs of New York City and seven cities on the New Jersey side. The Port included 600 individual ship anchorages, some 1,800 docks, piers, and wharves of every conceivable size which gave access to over a thousand warehouses, and a complex system of car floats, lighters, rail and bridge networks. Over 575 tugboats worked the Port waters. Port operations employed some 25,000 longshoremen and an additional 400,000 other workers.* Ships of every conceivable type were needed for troop transport and supply carriers. On June 6, 1941, the U.S. Coast Guard seized 84 vessels of foreign registry in American ports under the Ship Requisition Act. To meet the demand for ships large numbers of mass-produced freight- ers and transports, called Liberty ships were constructed by a civilian workforce using pre-fabricated parts and the relatively new technique of welding. The Liberty ship, adapted by New York naval architects Gibbs & Cox from an old British tramp ship, was the largest civilian- 262 EPILOGUE 1941 - PRESENT 263 made war ship.

  • Of the New Jersey Maritime Pi- Lot and Docking Pilot Commission
    156th Annual Report Of The New Jersey Maritime Pi- lot and Docking Pilot Commission Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, In 1789, the First Congress of the United States delegated to the states the authority to regulate pilotage of vessels operating on their respective navigable waters. In 1837, New Jersey enacted legislation establishing the Board of Commissioners of Pilotage of the State of New Jersey. Since its creation the Commission has had the responsibility of licensing and regulating maritime pilots who direct the navigation of ships as they enter and depart the Port of New Jersey and New York. This oversight has contributed to the excellent reputation the ports of New Jersey and New York has and its pilots enjoy throughout the maritime world. New legislation that went into effect on September 1, 2004 enables the Commission to further contribute to the safety and security of the port by requiring the Commission to license docking pilots. These pilots specialize in the docking and undocking of vessels in the port. To reflect the expansion of its jurisdiction the Commission has been renamed “The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission.” In keeping with the needs of the times, the new legislation has a strong security component. All pilots licensed by the state will go through an on going security vetting. The Commission will issue badges and photo ID cards to all qualified pilots, which they must display when entering port facilities and boarding vessels. The legislation has also modernized and clarified the Commissions’ authority to issue regulations with respect to qualifications and training required for pilot licenses, pilot training (both initial and recurrent) accident investigation and drug and alcohol testing.

  • Photographing New York Harbor & Its Maritime Activity
    PHOTOGRAPHING NEW YORK HARBOR & ITS MARITIME ACTIVITY BY TED SCULL For maritime enthusiasts, the Port of New York and New Jersey provides one of the world’s most exciting harbors to explore and photograph. The variety of marine traffic includes cruise ships from the mega to the mini, container vessels trading to all parts of the world, passenger ferries darting from Brooklyn to the Bronx, Manhattan to several landings in New Jersey, Queens to Wall Street, through the Narrows to North Jersey and the Rockaways, and the grandest of all, the Staten Island Ferry operating 24 hours a day. Excursion boats link the Battery with Ellis Island and Liberty Island and circumnavigate Manhattan, while tall ships cruise Upper New York Bay during the day and into the evening. Hardworking tugs maneuver fuel oil and traprock barges, passenger ships and freighters. The city’s Department of Environmental Protection operates a fleet of handsome vessels (believe it or not) that move New York’s sewage sludge between water treatment plants. Coast Guard and police boats protect the harbor and the bridges that cross it, while impressive new fireboats stand at the ready to respond to any waterfront emergencies in both states. Described below are some of the best locations in New York and New Jersey for photographing maritime activity in the Harbor, along with travel directions by public transit (rail, road and water). Consult the PONY Cruise Schedule on the website (www.worldshipny.com) for a complete list of cruise ship arrivals and departures. 1 NEW YORK LOCATIONS The Battery The American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial and the historic 1886 City Pier A at The Battery.
