    Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J. King Johann Heinrich Zimmermann (1741-1805) a navigué sur le Discovery lors du troisième voyage de James Cook au Pacifique (1776-1780) et a écrit un compte du voyage, Reise um die Welt mit Capitain Cook (Mannheim, 1781). En 1782 il a été invité par William Bolts à participer à un voyage à la côte nord-ouest de l'Amérique partant de Trieste sous les couleurs autrichiennes impériales. Ce voyage était conçu comme réponse autrichienne aux voyages de Cook, un voyage impérial de découverte autour du monde qui devait comprendre l'exploitation des possibilités commerciales du commerce des fourrures sur la côte nord- ouest et le commerce avec la Chine et le Japon. Zimmermann a été rejoint à Trieste par trois de ses anciens compagnons de bord sous Cook -- George Dixon, George Gilpin et William Walker, chacun destiné à naviguer comme officier sur le navire impérial et royal Cobenzell. Les lettres et le journal de Zimmermann qui ont survécu fournissent une source valable à cette étude des origines du commerce maritime des fourrures sur la côte nord-ouest. On 24 July 1782, George Dixon wrote from Vienna to Heinrich Zimmermann, his former shipmate on the Discovery during James Cook’s 1776-1780 expedition to the North Pacific: Dear Harry, Yours I Rec‘d, and am glad you have Resolution, like the Honest Sailor which I allways have taken you for, and are willing to be doing sum thing both for your self and the Country.

  • Fondazione Internazionale Trieste Per Il Progresso E La Libertà Delle Scienze and SISSA Interdisciplinary Laboratory
    EUROPEAN CITY OF SCIENCE 2020 Freedom for Science, Science for Freedom 1 FREEDOM FOR SCIENCE, SCIENCE FOR FREEDOM Dear Dr. Tindemans I would like to express again the support of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research – MIUR – to the candidature of Trieste to host the Euro Science Open forum (ESOF) in 2020. The candidature is solid and the proposed PROESOF2020 program, with the specifc goal of promoting discussion and deepening European scientifc collaboration ahead of the opening of ESOF is an unprecedented initiative represents an added value to the Valeria Fedeli proposal. Minister of Instruction, University and Research The motto “Freedom for Science, Science for Freedom”, is a refection of our times. Not only does it apply to the modern age, but it also provides guidance in the face of rapidly changing societies resulting from technological advancements and innovations, and Trieste, for it’s very well known high concentration of national and international Scientifc Institutions, functioning both as institutes of higher education as well as science and technology parks for high level research, and for both geographic and historical reasons, could not be a more ftting city to be named the European City of Science. Euro Science Open Forum would surely gain extra visibility and play an unprecedented role in the integration of Europe and in the relations between Europe and the Far-East and the South Mediterranean, and we believe that, with all its outreach and scientifc opportunities, ESOF 2020 would represent a milestone in Italy’ events to promote the role of science in society in a European context.

The association was indeed one of the first of its kind in Europe and the first in the Mediterranean Basin. 1906 were officially founded an Association of 26 Forwarding Agents with their HQ in Trieste, of which our Association today is the direct heir pursuing the same aspirations and objectives. We are, among others, cofounders of the FIATA (Fédération Internationale des Associations de Transitaires et Assimiliés). 1.2 YOUR REGIONAL CONTACT IN LOGISTICS AND FORWARDING Our Association represents the CONFETRA (Italian national Association of transport and logistic operators) and the FEDESPEDI (Italian Association of the International Forwarding Agencies) for the whole Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
