  • Place and Mobilities in the Maritime World: the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company in the Caribbean, C
    1 PLACE AND MOBILITIES IN THE MARITIME WORLD: THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY IN THE CARIBBEAN, C. 1838 TO 1914 Anyaa Anim-Addo Royal Holloway, University of London PhD Human Geography 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Anyaa Anim-Addo, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________________________________________ Date: ______________________________________________________ 3 Abstract The empirical subject of this thesis is the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (RMSPC), a British-based steamship company that served the Caribbean from 1842, and extended operations into South America in 1851. I construct a postcolonial historical geography of the RMSPC as it operated in the ‘expanded’ post-emancipation Caribbean. By analysing the steamship service as a network rather than as a ‘tool’ of empire, I foreground the mobilities constructed by this Company, and explore how these mobilities impacted upon maritime places in the Caribbean. In so doing, I develop a ‘tidalectic’ approach to the RMSPC’s past, by expanding upon Kamau Brathwaite’s concept. I argue that tidalectics, in intersection with the ‘new mobilities paradigm’, contributes to an advance in understandings of maritime history, since together they facilitate mobile examinations of the relationship between sea and shore. To develop analysis of the RMSPC’s maritime mobilities, four substantive case studies are presented. The first case study focuses on the RMSPC’s ports-of-call, as mapped by the scheme of routes. The second such chapter considers the steamship itself as place, particularly with reference to social and cultural dynamics.

    The Past is Present Standing atop a sandstone hill in Cabrillo National Monument on the Point Loma Peninsula, west of downtown San Diego, I breathe in salty ocean air. I watch frothy waves roaring onto shore, and look down at tide pool areas harboring creatures such as tan-and- white owl limpets, green sea anemones and pink nudi- branchs. Perhaps these same species were viewed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542 when, as an explorer for Spain, he came ashore on the peninsula, making him the first person from a European ocean expedition to step onto what became the state of California. Cabrillo’s landing set the stage for additional Span- ish exploration in the 16th and 17th centuries, followed in the 18th century by Spanish settlement. When I gaze inland from Cabrillo National Monument, I can see a vast range of traditional Native Kumeyaay lands, in- cluding the hilly area above the San Diego River where, in 1769, an expedition from New Spain (Mexico), led by Franciscan priest Junípero Serra and military officer Gaspar de Portolá, founded a fort and mission. Their establishment of the settlement 250 years ago has been called the moment that modern San Diego was born. It also is believed to represent the first permanent European settlement in the part of North America that is now California. As San Diego commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Spanish settlement, this is an opportune time 122 ALASKA BEYOND APRIL 2019 THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT IN SAN DIEGO IS A GREAT TIME TO EXPLORE SITES THAT HELP TELL THE STORY OF THE AREA’S DEVELOPMENT by MATTHEW J.

ALEMÁN, SILVIA J. ROBLETO & GUNTHER KÖHLER Abstract We describe two new species of Bolitoglossa from Nicaragua. Bolitoglossa indio n. sp. (holo- type ♀: SMF 85867) is known from Río Indio, in the lowlands of the Río San Juan area, southeast- ern Nicaragua. Bolitoglossa insularis n. sp. (holotype ♀: SMF 87175) occurs on the premontane slopes of Volcán Maderas on Ometepe Island, southwestern Nicaragua. The new species are of unknown affinities but both differ from their congeners in colouration.

  • Panama Canal Railway Coordinates: 8.97702°N 79.56773°W from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Panama Canal Railway Coordinates: 8.97702°N 79.56773°W From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Panama Canal Railway is a railway line that runs parallel to the Panama Canal, linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in Central America. The Panama Canal Railway Company route stretches 47.6 miles (76.6 km) across the Isthmus of Panama from Colón (Atlantic) to Balboa (Pacific, near Panama City). It is operated by Panama Canal Railway Company (reporting mark: PCRC), which is jointly owned by Kansas City Southern and Mi-Jack Products. [2] The Panama Canal Railway currently provides both freight and passenger service. The infrastructure of this railroad (formerly named the Panama Railway or Panama Rail Road ) was of vital importance for the construction of the Panama Canal over a parallel route half a century later. The principal incentive for the building of the rail line was the vast increase in traffic to California owing to the 1849 California Gold Rush. Construction on the Panama Railroad began in 1850 and the first revenue train ran over the full length on January 28, 1855. [3] Referred to as an inter-oceanic railroad when it opened, [4] it was later also described by some as representing a "transcontinental" railroad, despite only transversing the narrow isthmus connecting the North and South American continents.[5][6][7][8] Contents 1 History of earlier isthmus crossings and plans 2 1855 Panama Railroad 2.1 Construction Current Panama Canal Railway line 2.2 Financing (interactive version)[1] 2.3 Death toll Legend 2.4 Cadaver
