She was, and still is, one of the first ships whose hull was made of entirely of iron. It is the iron, that has not only made her unique but was an important contribution to her survival. Iron doesn’t deteriorate as wood does. Additionally, the use of iron as a shipbuilding material was short-lived as only a few decade saw the incorporation of steel as a superior building material.

Restored and sailed out of Galveston, Texas, it was the crew of Elissa that inaugurated, as volunteers, the Star of India’s returned to sailing glory. It was this group of “Geezers and geezerettes” that motivated a young Jim Davis to develop a similar volunteer program to Eliss’s parent, the Texas Seaport Museum. Since 1976, the Star of India has continued to sail on a regular basis and has become such an indelible landmark to the San Diego waterfront, that during her absence several years back for dry-dock, many San Diegan’s had feared the worst on viewing the empty slip next to the Berkeley.

JUSTICE, GRATEFUL APPRECIATION OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP, BY THE AUTHOR. — PREFACE. In the following pages, gathered from voluminous notes of early travel, I have tried to give a faithful account of life in India, as well as of the sights and scenes visited by me, with my husband, before the days of railroad travel. It is well known that the introduction of the railroad into India has in no sense affected the life of the people, and has only very slightly modified the general appearance of the country. India is still what it was in the Vfedic period, a land of peasant classes she ; still invokes, as did the ancient Aryans in the Rig Vfeda, the “ Khe- tra-pati,” or the divinity of the soil, for blessings on the land. The Hindoo to-day lives, as did his forefathers, close to the heart of Na- ture, deifying the mountains, streams, woods, and lakes, while the sun, moon, stars, fire, water, earth, air, sky, and corn are his high- est deities.

U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Interagency Resources Division Nominating Historic Vessels and Shipwrecks to the National Register of Historic Places James P. Delgado and A National Park Service Maritime Task Force* INTRODUCTION For over two hundred years, the United States relied on ships as connective links of a nation. Vessels crossing the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific Oceans, and our inland waters made fundamen- tal contributions to colonial settle- ment, development of trade, exploration, national defense, and territorial expansion. Unfortunately, we have lost much of this maritime tradition, and most historic vessels have gone to watery graves or have been scrapped by shipbreakers. Many vessels, once renowned or common, now can only be ap- preciated in print, on film, on can- vas, or in museums. To recognize those cultural resources important in America's past and to encourage their preser- vation, Congress expanded the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Among the ranks of prop- erties listed in the National Register are vessels, as well as buildings and structures, such as canals, drydocks, shipyards, and lighthouses that survive to docu- ment the Nation's maritime heritage.

  • India in the Arctic: Science, Geopolitics and Soft Power
    India in the Arctic: Science, Geopolitics and Soft Power Perspectives on Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy Alexander Engedal Gewelt Master’s Thesis in South Asia Studies Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages 60 credits University of Oslo Spring 2016 II India in the Arctic: Science, Geopolitics and Soft Power Perspectives on Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy Alexander Engedal Gewelt III © Alexander Engedal Gewelt 2016 India in the Arctic: Science, Geopolitics and Soft Power Perspectives on Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy Alexander Engedal Gewelt http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo IV Abstract This thesis is an analysis of contemporary Indian foreign policy from the vantage point of India’s recent engagements in the Arctic. By analysing what is argued to be an ‘Indian Arctic discourse’ that emerged between India’s first expedition to Svalbard in 2007 and the following accession to observer status in the Arctic Council in 2013, this thesis explores how this discourse frames the Arctic within a broader Indian foreign policy perspective. The Indian Arctic discourse establishes India as a stakeholder in the Arctic and envisages India as playing an active role in Arctic affairs. Studying this discourse unveils central principles and themes in Indian foreign policy, and offers new perspectives on contemporary Indian foreign policy. This is the first study to use soft power theory to discuss how the Indian Arctic discourse views India as an emerging power on the global stage and how India pursues its interests internationally, and in the Arctic region in particular. As this thesis shows, soft power has increasingly become a part of contemporary Indian foreign policy, both in official policy and in the academic discourse.
