    Sinking of the RMS Lusitania 1 Sinking of the RMS Lusitania Sinking of the RMS Lusitania 1915 painting of the sinking. Date 7 May 1915 Time 14:10 – 14:28 Location North Atlantic Ocean, near Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland Cause Torpedoed by German U-boat. Outcome • 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard killed, leaving 761 survivors. • Turned international opinion against Germany and led towards American entry into World War I. The sinking of the Cunard ocean liner RMS Lusitania occurred on 7 May 1915 during the First World War, as Germany waged submarine warfare against Britain. The ship was identified and torpedoed by the German U-boat U-20 and sank in 18 minutes. The vessel went down 11 miles (18 km) off the Old Head of Kinsale,[1] Ireland, killing 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard, leaving 761 survivors. The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, contributed to the American entry into World War I and became an iconic symbol in military recruiting campaigns of why the war was being fought.[2] Lusitania had the misfortune to fall victim to torpedo attack relatively early in the First World War, before tactics for evading submarines were properly implemented or understood. The contemporary investigations both in the UK and the United States into the precise causes of the ship's loss were obstructed by the needs of wartime secrecy and a propaganda campaign to ensure all blame fell upon Germany. Argument over whether the ship was a legitimate military target raged back and forth throughout the war as both sides made misleading claims about the ship.

    DRAFT 8/8/2013 Updates at Chapter 40 -- Karstology

    Chapter 40 -- Karstology Characterizing the mechanism of cavern accretion as "force" tends to suggest catastrophic attack, not a process of subtle persistence. Publicity for Ohio's Olentangy Indian Caverns illustrates the misconception. Formed millions of years ago by the tremendous force of an underground river cutting through solid limestone rock, the Olentangy Indian Caverns. There was no tremendous event millions of years ago; it's been dissolution at a rate barely discernable, century to century.

George Washington is said to have surveyed Natural Bridge, though he made no mention it in his journals. More certain is that Thomas Jefferson purchased "the most sublime of nature's works," in his words, from King George III. Herman Melville alluded to the formation in describing Moby Dick, But soon the fore part of him slowly rose from the water; for an instant his whole marbleized body formed a high arch, like Virginia's Natural Bridge.

    ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 SCIENCE 11 Space 1st American in space marked 60th ’versary: Tourists lining up for space trip CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., May 5, (AP): Sixty years after Alan Shepard became the first American in space, everyday people are on the verge of following in his cosmic footsteps. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company is finally opening ticket sales for short hops from Texas launched by a rocket named New Shepard. Details are coming Wednesday, the 60th anni- versary of Shepard’s Mercury flight. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic aims to kick off tourist flights next year, just as soon as he straps into his space- skimming, plane-launched rocketship for a test run from the New Mexico base. And Elon Musk’s SpaceX will launch a billionaire and his sweepstakes winners in September. That will be followed by a flight by three businessmen to the International Space Station in January. “It’s a huge leap, right?” said NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, commander of SpaceX’s most recent flight to the space station. “But it’s pretty cool ... citizens will be able to have the chance to go to space and experience what we get to.” It’s all rooted in Shepard’s 15-min- ute flight on May 5, 1961. Shepard was actually the second per- son in space - the Soviet Union launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin three weeks earlier, to Shepard’s ever- lasting dismay.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Three-dimensional (3D) morphology of Sansha Yongle Blue Hole in the South China Sea Received: 1 May 2018 Accepted: 31 October 2018 revealed by underwater remotely Published: xx xx xxxx operated vehicle Tiegang Li1, Aiping Feng1, Yanxiong Liu1, Zhenhong Li 2, Kai Guo1, Wenzheng Jiang1, Jun Du1, Ziwen Tian1, Wenxue Xu1, Yang Liu1 & Yanru Wang3 The Sansha Yongle Blue Hole (SYBH) is the deepest blue hole found anywhere to date. Study of the SYBH can provide insight into the interactions between hole wall morphology and many geological/ hydrological mechanisms. A comprehensive investigation of the SYBH was carried out for the frst time in 2017 using a professional-grade underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to obtain accurate depth and three-dimensional (3D) topographic data. The SYBH resembles a ballet dancer’s shoe and has a volume of ~499609 m3. The observed deepest portion of the SYBH is at 301.19 m below the local 10-year mean sea level. The cave bottom laterally deviates from its entrance by 118 m at an azimuth of 219 degrees. The cave entrance is shaped like a comma and has an average width of 130 m; the widest part is 162.3 m wide, while the narrowest part is 26.2 m wide and is at 279 mbsl (meters below sea level). The 3D topography of the SYBH and underwater photography revealed two large transitions at ~76 to 78 mbsl and at 158 mbsl, indicating that the initiation of the blue hole was likely a step wise process and that the hole wall morphology was subsequently remolded through a paleo-sea level stillstand (at or near Younger Dryas).
