    Filmography 1963 Through 2018 Greg Macgillivray (Right) with His Friend and Filmmaking Partner of Eleven Years, Jim Freeman in 1976

    MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography 1963 through 2018 Greg MacGillivray (right) with his friend and filmmaking partner of eleven years, Jim Freeman in 1976. The two made their first IMAX Theatre film together, the seminal To Fly!, which premiered at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976, one day after Jim’s untimely death in a helicopter crash. “Jim and I cared only that a film be beautiful and expressive, not that it make a lot of money. But in the end the films did make a profit because they were unique, which expanded the audience by a factor of five.” —Greg MacGillivray 2 MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography Greg MacGillivray: Cinema’s First Billion Dollar Box Office Documentarian he billion dollar box office benchmark was never on Greg MacGillivray’s bucket list, in fact he describes being “a little embarrassed about it,” but even the entertainment industry’s trade journal TDaily Variety found the achievement worth a six-page spread late last summer. As the first documentary filmmaker to earn $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, giant-screen film producer/director Greg MacGillivray joined an elite club—approximately 100 filmmakers—who have attained this level of success. Daily Variety’s Iain Blair writes, “The film business is full of showy sprinters: filmmakers and movies that flash by as they ring up impressive box office numbers, only to leave little of substance in their wake. Then there are the dedicated long-distance specialists, like Greg MacGillivray, whose thought-provoking documentaries —including EVEREST, TO THE ARCTIC, TO FLY! and THE LIVING Sea—play for years, even decades at a time.

Kang Dissertation Committee: Herbert Ziegler, Chairperson Margot Henriksen Marcus Daniel Njoroge Njoroge Kathryn Hoffmann Keywords: tattoos, skin art, sports, cultural studies, ethnic studies, gender studies ©Copyright 2014 by Sung P. Kang ii Acknowledgements This dissertation would not be possible without the support and assistance of many of the History Department faculty and staff from the University of Hawaii, colleagues from Hawaii Pacific University, friends, and family. I am very thankful to Njoroge Njoroge in supplying constant debates on American sports and issues facing black athletes, and furthering my understanding of Marxism and black America. To Kathryn Hoffmann, who was a continuous “springboard” for many of my theories and issues surrounding the body. I also want to thank Marcus Daniel, who constantly challenged my perspective on the relationship between politics and race. To Herbert Ziegler who was instrumental to the entire doctoral process despite his own ailments. Without him none of this would have been possible. To Margot (Mimi) Henriksen, my chairperson, who despite her own difficulties gave me continual assistance, guidance, and friendship that sustained me to this stage in my academic career. Her confidence in me was integral, as it fed my determination not to disappoint her. To my chiropractor, Dr. Eric Shimane, who made me physically functional so I could continue with the grueling doctoral process.

    USS Taylor (DD/DDE 468) World War II History — 1941–1946 USS Taylor DD/DDE 468 was named for Rear Admiral William Rogers Taylor (1811-1889). She was laid down on 28 August 1941 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works CorP. Sponsored by Mrs. H.A. Baldridge, Taylor was launched on 7 June 1942. She was commissioned on 28 August 1942 at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, LCDR Benjamin KatZ commanding. Between the time Taylor’s keel was laid down and her commissioning on 28 August 1942 the Japanese navy attacked the United States Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Taylor, and the country she served, were immediately at war. She began her career with the Atlantic Fleet. Assigned to Destroyer Squadron 20. Taylor did her initial training at Casco Bay, Maine, and made her shakedown cruise in the northern Atlantic. She was then assigned to coastwise convoy escort duty which lasted until Mid- November 1942 when she escorted a transatlantic convoy to a point off Casablanca. The transit was uneventful, except for the intercePtion of a Spanish merchantman, SS Darro. Taylor sent a boarding party to the neutral shiP. The boarding party then sent the Darro to Gibraltar to prevent her from transmitting information about the convoy to the enemy. With the convoy safely at its destination, Taylor returned to the United States at Norfolk, VA. Receiving orders to transfer to the Pacific theater, Taylor departed HamPton Roads in comPany with Task Force 13. After transiting the Panama Canal and stoPPing at Tutuila in the Samoan Islands, Taylor rePorted at Noumea, New Caledonia, on 20 January 1943.

Robin des Bois counted 293 vessels sold for demolition in 2006, 288 in 2007 and 456 in 2008. In 2009, 1,006 vessels have left the waters, representing more than twice the 2008 total and three times the 2006 total. The total weight of recycled metal reached more than 8.2 million tons, five times the total amount of 2006. During this record year the pace of vessels leaving the oceans during the summer months has barely slowed down. The worldwide financial crisis weighed considerably on trade exchange; big ship owners have massively sent for demolition their oldest ships to adapt to the dropping of freight rates and to draw benefits from their recent ships.
