Set up, electrotyped, and published April, 1904. Norwood Press Smith Co, J. S. Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Norwood^ Mass.f U.S.A. INTRODUCTION In spite of the utilitarian tendencies of the present age, it is fortunately no longer necessary to argue in behalf of sport; even the busiest of busy Americans have at last learned the neces- sity for a certain amount of relaxation and rec- reation, and that the best way to these lies in the pursuit of some form of outdoor sport. While each has its stanch adherents, who pro- claim its superiority to all others, the sport of yachting can perhaps show as much to its credit as any. As a means to perfect physical development, one great point in all sports, it has the advantage of being followed outdoors in the bracing atmos- phere of the sea; and while it involves severe physical labor and at times actual hardships, it fits its devotees to withstand and enjoy both. In the matter of competition, the salt and savor of all sport, yachting opens a wide and varied field. In cruising there is a constant strife 219316 vi Introduction with the elements, and in racing there is the contest of brain and hand against those of equal adversaries.

  • Epilogue 1941—Present by BARBARA LA ROCCO
    Epilogue 1941—Present By BARBARA LA ROCCO ABOUT A WEEK before A Maritime History of New York was re- leased the United States entered the Second World War. Between Pearl Harbor and VJ-Day, more than three million troops and over 63 million tons of supplies and materials shipped overseas through the Port. The Port of New York, really eleven ports in one, boasted a devel- oped shoreline of over 650 miles comprising the waterfronts of five boroughs of New York City and seven cities on the New Jersey side. The Port included 600 individual ship anchorages, some 1,800 docks, piers, and wharves of every conceivable size which gave access to over a thousand warehouses, and a complex system of car floats, lighters, rail and bridge networks. Over 575 tugboats worked the Port waters. Port operations employed some 25,000 longshoremen and an additional 400,000 other workers.* Ships of every conceivable type were needed for troop transport and supply carriers. On June 6, 1941, the U.S. Coast Guard seized 84 vessels of foreign registry in American ports under the Ship Requisition Act. To meet the demand for ships large numbers of mass-produced freight- ers and transports, called Liberty ships were constructed by a civilian workforce using pre-fabricated parts and the relatively new technique of welding. The Liberty ship, adapted by New York naval architects Gibbs & Cox from an old British tramp ship, was the largest civilian- 262 EPILOGUE 1941 - PRESENT 263 made war ship.

  • Of the New Jersey Maritime Pi- Lot and Docking Pilot Commission
    156th Annual Report Of The New Jersey Maritime Pi- lot and Docking Pilot Commission Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, In 1789, the First Congress of the United States delegated to the states the authority to regulate pilotage of vessels operating on their respective navigable waters. In 1837, New Jersey enacted legislation establishing the Board of Commissioners of Pilotage of the State of New Jersey. Since its creation the Commission has had the responsibility of licensing and regulating maritime pilots who direct the navigation of ships as they enter and depart the Port of New Jersey and New York. This oversight has contributed to the excellent reputation the ports of New Jersey and New York has and its pilots enjoy throughout the maritime world. New legislation that went into effect on September 1, 2004 enables the Commission to further contribute to the safety and security of the port by requiring the Commission to license docking pilots. These pilots specialize in the docking and undocking of vessels in the port. To reflect the expansion of its jurisdiction the Commission has been renamed “The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission.” In keeping with the needs of the times, the new legislation has a strong security component. All pilots licensed by the state will go through an on going security vetting. The Commission will issue badges and photo ID cards to all qualified pilots, which they must display when entering port facilities and boarding vessels. The legislation has also modernized and clarified the Commissions’ authority to issue regulations with respect to qualifications and training required for pilot licenses, pilot training (both initial and recurrent) accident investigation and drug and alcohol testing.

Installations and performances organized by the Whitney and Art Production Fund,will also be presented in association with Park Avenue Armory (67th Street) from March 6-23. Since its founding in 1932, the Biennial has evolved into the Whitney’s signature exhibition as well as the most important survey of the state of contemporary art in the United States today. The exhibition will occupy the entire Museum, with the exception of the fifth floor, which is devoted to the permanent collection. For the first time, the Biennial will expand beyond the Museum’s Breuer building into Park Avenue Armory’s monumental Drill Hall and historic period rooms, creating an opportunity to present works that could not be accommodated within the Whitney’s walls and remaining true to the fluid, interactive way in which these works were conceived. The 2008 Biennial is curated by Henriette Huldisch, Assistant Curator at the Whitney, and Shamim M. Momin, Associate Curator at the Whitney and Branch Director and Curator of the Whitney Museum at Altria, and overseen by Donna De Salvo, the Whitney’s Chief Curator and Associate Director for Programs.
