  • January 2013 – Volume Nineteen, Number One GREAT AFRICAN
    January 2013 – Volume Nineteen, Number One EXPEDITION NEWS, now in its 19th year, is the monthly review of significant expeditions, research projects and newsworthy adventures. It is distributed online to media representatives, corporate sponsors, educators, research librarians, explorers, environmentalists, and outdoor enthusiasts. This forum on exploration covers projects that stimulate, motivate and educate. GREAT AFRICAN EXPEDITION ENTERS PHASE TWO Sir Samuel White Baker’s great great grandson David Baker and British filmmaker Jonathan Maguire will join African explorer and anthropologist Julian Monroe Fisher for phase two of The RailRiders 2012-2016 Great African Expedition. Leaving this month, the team will retrace the 1860’s expeditionary route of Sir Samuel White Baker and his wife Lady Florence from Juba throughout South Sudan and Uganda. In February 2012, Julian Monroe Fisher announced an ambitious five-year - nine expedition ethnographical research project deep in the heart of Africa. The objectives of the ongoing project are to compare the 19th century Ethnographic documentation of the African tribal kingdoms gathered during the expeditions of the Victorian age explorers with the realities of 21st century Africa. The project will retrace the African expeditionary routes of the famed Victorian explorers to include Baker, Speke, Grant, Burton, de Brazza, Wissman, Baumann, Park, Cameron, Stanley and Livingstone. By researching the personal letters, diaries and papers from the Victorians during and after their expeditions that are now scattered globally in private collections and museums, Fisher hopes to develop insight into the African cultures that the explorers encountered. They hope to shed light on what changes occurred as a result of colonization and post colonization in some of the most remote corners of Africa.

  • Losing Sight of Shore Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Losing Sight of Shore Discussion Guide Director: Sarah Moshman Year: 2017 Time: 92 min You might know this director from: The Empowerment Project: Ordinary Women Doing Extraordinary Things (2014) FILM SUMMARY Back in 2011, a group of female rowers began to dream of rowing the Pacific ocean, a trek never before completed by a team of four, nor a group of women. By 2013, the Coxless Crew was formed with aspirations to complete the first four-person team expedition from America to Australia. Over the next two years, funds were raised, a custom-made pink ocean row boat (lovingly named Doris) was built, and several of the original team members had dropped out of the project to be replaced with ambitious new faces ready for the challenge. After years of planning, as well as months of physical and mental preparation, the Coxless crew set off from San Francisco in April of 2015, bound for Hawaii, the first checkpoint on their three-legged journey across the Pacific. With LOSING SIGHT OF SHORE, Emmy-winning director Sarah Moshman documents their trying and triumphant expedition, occasionally catching up with the crew at their scheduled checkpoints, while mostly allowing the team to film their own experiences with a stock of weather resistant GoPros along their journey. The result is part emotionally charged video journal, part visually stunning wilderness doc. We witness the team ride waves of heart-wrenching, awe-inspiring challenges, from dangerous storms, extreme heat, and utter boredom to power outages and lack of food. In addition, they must battle the mental strain of unending repetition and the physical abuse of constantly rowing and sleeping only one or two hours at a time.

  • Lesson 2.1 Ocean History
    OAR NORTHWEST: EDUCATION CWF Africa to the Americas Expedition 2013 Lesson 2.1: Ocean History Introduction The James Robert Hanssen (JRH) and its crew (Jordan, Pat, Markus, and Adam) are rowing on the shoulders of giants. Innumerable explorers and adventures have gone before the JRH and much can be learned from earlier voyages. Through this lesson, students will examine the history of ocean exploration throughout human civilization. Students will also study Ferdinand Magellan and Captain James Cook’s exploration endeavors to provide examples of voyages during the Age of Exploration. Students will consider the CWF Africa to the Americas expedition within the historical context. Students will then continue to discover more about modern ocean exploration by connecting the JRH to the modern narrative. Background Human exploration of the ocean has a long and impressive pedigree. The first humans to travel across waters used very simple boats made from materials such as stalks from tall grasses (known as reed), lightweight wood from balsa trees and single hollowed tree trunks. Initially, ocean travel was only used to traverse short expanses. Yet, at some point, substantial distances were traversed. For example, people from Southeast Asia journeyed across the Pacific Ocean by gradual “island hopping.” Another great epoch of oceanic migration was The Age of Exploration, a period of rapid exploration and expansion that lasted from the 15th to 17th centuries and mainly involved European conquests. Development of technologies like the compass, telescope and sextant during this time period allowed explorers to navigate the ocean quicker and with more certainty. By the middle of the 16th century, explorers had the specific knowledge to voyage around the world.
