Conservation and Coastal Element Data Inventory and Analysis
City of Marathon Comprehensive Plan CONSERVATION AND COASTAL ELEMENT DATA INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS This section addresses the data inventory requirements supportive of the development of goals, objectives, policies, and implementation programs for the Conservation and Coastal Element. (§9J-5.012(2) and §9J-5.013(1), F.A.C.) Environmental Setting of Marathon and the Florida Keys The low-lying limestone islands comprising the Florida Keys extend 233 miles southwestward in a gradual arc from Biscayne bay at the southeastern tip of the Florida peninsula to the Dry Tortugas in the Gulf of Mexico. Southeast of the Keys is the Florida Reef Tract, a continuous band of coral reefs bordering the Straits of Florida, lying five to seven miles offshore and extending 220 miles from Solider Key to the Dry Tortugas. To the west and northwest is Florida Bay, a shallow embayment of the Gulf of Mexico with an extensive network of carbonate mud shoals and seagrass beds (Florida DER, 1987d). At the top of the Upper Keys, Card Sound and Barnes Sound are shallow embayments which tie into Biscayne Bay. Climate Marathon and the Florida Keys experience a subtropical savanna-type climate characterized by warm humid summers and mild dry winters. The mean annual sunshine is 3,300 hours, ten percent more than the Florida Peninsula to the north. The average annual temperature in the Florida Keys ranges from a summer high of 89 degrees in July to a winter low of 63 degrees in February. Temperatures below freezing have not been recorded in the Keys, primarily due to the meliorative effects of the warm marine waters in the area and the presence of the warm Gulf Stream along the coast. -
Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer. -

The Mountain of a Thousand Holes Shipwreck Traditions and Treasure Hunting on Oregon’s North Coast CAMERON LA FOLLETTE, DENNIS GRIFFIN, AND DOUGLAS DEUR EURO-AMERICANS in coastal communities conflated and amplified Native American oral traditions of shipwrecks in Tillamook County, increasingly focusing the stories on buried treasure. This focus led to a trickle, and then a procession, of treasure-seekers visiting the northern Oregon coast, reach- ing full crescendo by the mid to late twentieth century. The seekers’ theo- ries ranged from the fairly straightforward to the wildly carnivalesque, with many bizarre permutations. Neahkahnie Mountain and its beaches became the premier treasure-hunting sites in Oregon, based on the mountain’s prominence in popular lore, linked to unverified stories about the wreck of a Spanish ship. -
Thomas Donovan Professor Ruiz HIST129A-1 18 May 2020 Second
1 Thomas Donovan Professor Ruiz HIST129A-1 18 May 2020 Second Paper Prompt One Despite being largely ignored in our age the awe inspiring value of art becomes apparent in a multitude of instances. Be it for the expression of the human condition, one’s individual experience, or the perspective of a culture, great art has served as enlightened entertainment for humankind. However, outside of the realm of intellectual pastimes, art finds a rather unique value in its relation to the study of history. For, art of a past age gives the current age a greater understanding of the past’s conception of themselves and their world. The most common example of such is the work of the supposive Homer who in his poems expresses the Greek values and mirrors elements of the power struggles of the day. The same can be noted of the Spanish play The Trickster of Seville, a work which provides insight into the culture and politics of old 17th century Iberia. As this is art’s relation to a historian, a primary source that allows a brief look into the culture and age which produced it. The seventeenth century saw Spain under the Habsburg monarchy who ruled the most powerful empire in Europe yet the cracks of Spanish society had already come to the forefront of Spanish intellectual discourse.1 The Trickster of Seville, a work produced around the 1600s by the Spanish playwright Tirso de Molina, lived during a time of Spanish history that is characterized by art which describes Spain as a nation filled with those who had an attitude 1 Lynch, John 2 which turned away from productive work in the hopes of finding quick success instead.2 Such can be understood when contemplating the vast wealth acquired by the conquests of the new world. -
The South China Trade with Spanish Philippine Colony up to 1762 SERAPIN D
International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “Manila as an entrepot in the trans-pacific commerce”. 5-6, February, 1991. Manila, The Philippines. The South China Trade with Spanish Philippine Colony up to 1762 SERAPIN D. QOXASOH Chairman National Historical Institute The topic that I have chosen to discuss this afternoon is perhaps too broad a subject in itself for a brief paper. I do feel that much of what I have to say is impressionistic and qualitative based, in part, on my studies on English trade relations with the Philippines in the 17th and 18th centuries and, in part, on my readings on early Chinese relations with Nanyang, as well as the Philippine archipelago. My paper, therefore, is only preliminary attempt that may provide interesting ideas for further research. Whatever up-to-date knowledge we have relating to the early South China trade with Southeast Asia, including the Philippines has been derived from contemporary sources. These are Wang Gung Was A Short History of the Nangenq Chinese; N.A. Simoniya's Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia; Chen Ho Chen's The Overseas Chinese in the Philippines during the 16th Century; Tien Tse Cheng's Sino- Portuguese Trade from 15th and 16th; Pierre Chaunu's Less Philippines et al, Pacifique del Iberiques, Lourdes Diaz Trechuelo, The Role of the Chinese in the Philippine Domestic Economy, William L. Schurz In Manla Gallen, and M.A.P. Meilinsk Roelofz Asia Trade and Europe Influence in the Indian Archipelago between 1500 and about 1630, to mention but a few. -
Activity Sheet for the Viking Ireland Exhibition Viking Voyages Where Did the Vikings Come From?
Viking Challenge! ACTIVITY SHEET FOR THE VIKING IRELAND EXHIBITION Viking Voyages Where did the Vikings come from? The Vikings brought walrus tusks from BRATTAHILD the north of Norway and Greenland to Ireland and carved them to make objects like dice and pendants. ATLANTIC OCEAN The Vikings came from an area of Northern Europe called Scandinavia. Scandinavia is made up of three countries: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. They travelled all around Europe, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada and ventured as far east as Russia. This map shows some of the routes that the Vikings travelled. The Vikings liked the Irish fashion of using a ringed pin (like the one in the picture above) to fasten clothing. One Viking even wore his ringed pin on a trip to Canada! Sailing Routes Baltic Sea to Ireland Glendalough, Co. Wicklow to Roskilde, Denmark Ireland to Newfoundland, Canada Byzantium to Co.Westmeath, Ireland STERN THE BACK OF A SHIP Greenland to Dublin 2 NORTH SEA Archaeologists discovered a Viking ship in Roskilde, Denmark that was made with wood from Ireland.The longship must have been made in Ireland and then sailed back to Denmark! OSLO BIRKA Amber is a material which is made when the resin of pine trees becomes fossilised over millions of years. Over 3,000 ROSKILDE pieces of amber were found at one Viking workshop in Dublin, amber is not found in Ireland so the DUBLIN Vikings must have brought it here! KIEV Precious silk was transported from Byzantium and Baghdad to Dublin. Silver coins with Arabic writing on them have been found here in Ireland.
