Eventually, she arrives in Israel and, after hearing stories of settlers bulldozing Palestinian olive groves at night, she joins a protest to replant olive trees on land cleared by the army. Throughout Syria she finds remnants of olive culture, familiar to Mary Russell, who is also speaking in Omagh about her travels in Syria. These indefatigable Irish travellers were to be joined by a third, Dervla Murphy, who recently spent time in the Palestinian Territories. Alas, Murphy cannot attend due to illness. Her latest book A Month by the Sea: encounters in Gaza proves travel writing still plays a powerful role in bearing witness. She writes rivetingly of the struggle to rebuild after Operation Cast Lead, in which Israel hit Gaza with rockets for 22 days, killing over 1, Palestinians, wounding 5, See a sample.

Best travel books: A list of the top travel-related books I was in Malta for a second time a while back and it was only on this visit I noticed the colourful fishing boats native to the island. I suspect that for me, coming from dreary Ireland, they were all of a piece with the rich island back drop of ultramarine, turquoise, creamy ochre and Indian red. It was only on my second visit that actual objects began to separate out in my minds eye. Besides their colour, the other notable feature of Maltese boats are the eyes that are painted on the prow and often carved in relief to boot. The eye is said to be the Eye of Osiris or the Eye of Horus, an ancient Egyptian symbol that wards off evil as well as guiding boats. With eyes they can not only see the way ahead but also see where the fish are. I think the eyes give the boats a certain personality which is all the more affecting for being more comical than heroic. Snakes do have a part in Maltese myth. Paul was supposedly bitten by one after he was shipwrecked there. When he did not die from the bite it was said that he caused the snakes of Malta lose their poison. The pretty and non-venomous Leopard or Rat snake may have been the culprit. The Blue Rock Thrush is the Maltese National bird and is known to eat reptiles so it is possible some combination of this bird and the Leopard snake is believed to protect those at seas. There are a number of variations of vessel;the Ferilla, The Olive Route: A Personal Journey to the Heart of the Mediterranean is about twenty foot long, the Kajjik an arabic version of the word caique which is slightly smaller and the Frejgatina, the smallest one, for all the world like a row boat in carnival clothes. The most common design of boat is called the Luzzu and is based on a design used since at least the s and which, along with the use of the Eye of Osiris, probably originated by the Phoenicians who dominated the culture of the eastern Mediterranean between and BC. The Phoenicians by the way, are thought to be the forerunners of the Celts. The Phoenician princess Scota, from whom the Irish Scoti took their name before settling Scotland, is said to be buried in Kerry.

    PROJECT: FAO COPEMED ARTISANAL FISHERIES IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN Malta Fisheries The Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture of Malta By: Ignacio de Leiva, Charles Busuttil, Michael Darmanin, Matthew Camilleri. 1. Introduction The Maltese fishing industry may be categorised mainly in the artisanal sector since only a small number of fishing vessels, the larger ones, operate on the high seas. The number of registered gainfully employed full-time fishermen is 374 and the number of vessels owned by them is 302. Fish landings recorded at the official fish market in 1997 amounted to a total of 887 metric tonnes, with a value of approx. Lm 1.5 million (US$4,000,000). Fishing methods adopted in Malta are demersal trawling, "lampara" purse seining, deep-sea long-lining, inshore long-lining, trammel nets, drift nets and traps. The most important commercial species captured by the Maltese fleet are included as annex 1. 2. Fishing fleet The main difference between the full-time and artisanal category is that the smaller craft are mostly engaged in coastal or small scale fisheries. The boundary between industrial and artisanal fisheries is not always well defined and with the purpose of regional standardisation the General Fisheries Council for the Mediterranean (GFCM), at its Twenty-first Session held in Alicante, Spain, from 22 to 26 May 1995, agreed to set a minimum length limit of 15 metres for the application of the "Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas" and therefore Maltese vessels over 15 m length should be considered as industrial in line with this agreement.

    MEREKEELE NÕUKOJA Koosoleku teokiri nr 80 09.04.2013 Veeteede Amet Tallinn, Valge tn 4 Algus kell 14.00, lõpp 16.00 Osavõtjad: Malle Hunt, Peedu Kass, Uno Laur, Taidus Linikoja, Aado Luksepp, Ants Raud, Rein Raudsalu, Tauri Roosipuu, Madli Vitismann, Peeter Veegen, Ants Ärsis. Juhataja: Peedu Kass Kirjutaja: Malle Hunt 1. Mälestasime leinaseisakuga meie seast lahkunud nõukoja liiget Ain Eidastit. 2. Vastasime terminoloogi küsimustele. Pikem selgitus terminitele port ja harbour Peeter Veegen: Meil Tallinnas on "Port of Tallinn" administratiiv-juriidiline ettevõte, mille koosseisus mitu väiksemat sadamat, mida võime tõlkida "harbour" (Paljassaare Harbour, Old Harbour, Paldiski Harbour). Ajalooliselt on pigemini kujunenud nii, et Harbour on varjumis- ja seismise koht laevadele, millel võib olla erinevaid funktsioone (nt. Miinisadam, Lennusadam, Hüdrograafiasadam jne.) Ehk ka "Last harbour" - viimne varjupaik. Port on seevastu kauba käitlemise, lastimise-lossimise, reisijate teenendamise koht- teiste sõnadega ühendus maa ja mere vahel (ka arvutil on mitu "porti" ühenduseks maailmaga). Merekaubavedudel kasutame mõisted "Port of call", "Port of destination" Vene keelest leiame analoogiana gavanj = harbour, port = port Eesti keeles on meil mõlemal juhul sadam, nii et neid kattuvaid mõisteid võime kasutada nii ja naa, aga kontekstist lähtuvalt võiks siiski tõlkes ajaloolist tausta arvestada. Madli Vitismann: - "port" on enam ettevõte, terminalide kogum ja muu lastimisega seotu - sadamaettevõtted Port of Tallinn ja Ports of Stockholm (samuti mitut sadamat koondav ettevõte). Või Paldiski Northern Port kui omaette sadamaettevõte. - "harbour" on pigem sadam kui konkreetne sadamabassein, sildumiskoht jm, nt Old City harbour Tallinna Sadama koosseisus ja Kapellskär Stockholmi Sadamate koosseisus - nende kodulehel on rubriik "Ship in harbour" http://www.stockholmshamnar.se/en/ . Ka rootsi keeles on üks vaste sõnale "sadam" - "hamn".

  • The Maltese Fishing Communities, 1860S-1920
    Journal of Maltese History Volume 2 Number 1, 2010 Living on Fishing, Caught in the Market: The Maltese fishing communities, 1860s-1920. John Chircop Department of History, University of Malta The absence of the fishing folk, of their daily livelihood, communal ways of life and culture, characterizes modern Maltese historiography.1 This conspicuous neglect must be treated as a serious omission indeed, particularly when one considers the fact that we are dealing with the history of a small archipelago. Certainly, the lack of early official quantitative and qualitative sources on Maltese fishing culture, apart that is from the rudimentary annotations in censuses or colonial reports published from the middle of the nineteenth century onwards, has definitely not assisted the generation of research interest in this field of inquiry. More disturbingly still, conventional authors have interpreted this scarcity of official records on the fishing people as proof of their irrelevance to Maltese history. This is indeed an essentially linear view of history, narrowly positivist in nature, which alas still structures the bulk of Maltese historical productions. In contrast, to the critical historiographer, it is immediately apparent that the causes of such a surprising neglect are of a methodological, historiographical as much as of a historical nature. Adopting this critical historical approach, the present study treats the exclusion of these coastal labouring people and their daily work activities from modern Maltese historiography as replicating the laissez-faire attitude and practice of the colonial state during most of the nineteenth century, which discarded domestic fishing culture. It was only on some occasions that the administration gave a fleeting look to this sector, airing the idea that this indigenous economic activity was insignificant, and thus inconsequential to Malta’s ‘modern’ colonial economy, if anything because of a supposed low productivity of the surrounding seas.
