In answer to a request for the creation of a class of racing sailboats suitable for trailering to regattas, Crosby promised to give the proposed class a send-off by designing and publish- ing plans for such a boat in his magazine.

  • Illegitimate Births in Gloucester, MA, 1855-1894
    ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS IN GLOUCESTER, MA, 1855 – 1894 The term “illegitimacy” is derived from the Latin illegitimus, meaning “not in accordance with the law.” A child is considered illegitimate when it is conceived and born outside of the regulatory sanctions of marriage. In order to facilitate genealogical research the Gloucester, Massachusetts, City Archive department is in the process of building a series of data bases of the births, marriages, and deaths that took place in Gloucester in the last half of the 19th century. As we entered birth information into this data base we wondered what became of those children identified as ‘illegitimate.’ The following is a result of those ruminations. Please note that the figures provided are not conclusive, as during the period 1860 to 1875 the legal status of the child was only sporadically noted in the official records – an interesting fact in and of itself. Also, at the time of this survey, deaths were only available in an easily searchable format for the years between 1851 and 1873. Obtaining the figures from 1874 to 1894 would have consumed more time than was available to this researcher. Nonetheless, certain conclusions can still be drawn from the easily obtainable records. Illegitimate births accounted for less than 1% of the overall births in Gloucester during the thirty-nine years spanned by the survey, and were equally divided between the sexes (108 boys and 107 girls). This figure seems extraordinarily low compared, for instance, to the year 2000 when approximately 26% of all births in Massachusetts were recorded as illegitimate. However, one must take into account various social factors.

  • Novodobé Olympijské
    SLOVENSKÝ ZVÄZ JACHTINGU OLYMPIJSKÉ HRY 1896 - 2004 JACHTING BRATISLAVA 2004 2 Ú V O D V roku 2004 sa XXVIII. Olympijské hry vrátili späť do svojej kolísky, do Grécka. Samo- zrejme nie na pôvodné miesto do Olympie, kde sa konali v staroveku po viac ako tisíc rokov, ale do hlavného mesta slobodného Grécka do novodobých Atén. Splnila sa dávna túžba Grékov a ich hlavného mesta, aby po prvých novodobých hrách, ktoré sa uskutočnili v roku 1896 sa ďalšie ko- nali v krajine ich zrodu. Je treba privítať rozhodnutie Medzinárodného olympijského výboru o pridelení XXVIII. hier do Atén, aj keď uskutočnenie takého gigantického športového podniku akým sú OH, vytvorilo viaceré ťažkosti pri ich realizácii tak pre organizátorov, ako aj pre vládu Grécka. Vzdor všetkým ťažkostiam sa Grékom podarilo zvládnuť všetky problémy a pripravili pre športovcov celého sveta prostredie, aké bolo hodné nasledovníkov športovcov starovekej He- lady. Jachting je jedným z málo športov, ktorý bol vypísaný ako športová disciplína okrem III. OH v Saint Luis na všetkých doterajších OH. V programe hier už pre prvé novodobé hry v roku 1896 v Aténach bol jachting vypísaný v rámci vodných športov, no olympijská regata sa nekonala pre zlé počasie. Nás jachtárov samozrejme zaujímajú najviac jachtárske olympijské regaty, v nich vypísané lodné triedy a typy plachetníc na ktorých sa olympijské súťaže uskutočňovali. Je to tiež príležitosť, aby sme nazreli do doterajších výsledkových listín Olympijských hier a dozvedeli sa, kto boli ich víťazi. V roku 1982 vo zväzku 26. "SLOVENSKÉHO JACHTÁRA", ktorý bol celý venovaný jach- társkemu olympizmu z príležitosti uskutočnenej olympijskej regaty v Talline (OH Moskva 1980), bol Otom Malým spracovaný neúplný prehľad všetkých dovtedajších regát na OH, vrátane tried v ktorých sa pretekalo a ich víťazov.
