to the mid11th century. The Vikings came from three countries of Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Viking age in European history was about AD 700 to 1100. During this period many Vikings left Scandinavia and travelled to other countries, such as Britain and Ireland. Some went to fight and steal treasure. Others settled in new lands as farmers, craftsmen or traders. ships There were two distinct classes of Viking ships: the longship and the knarr. The longship is characterized as a graceful, long, narrow, light, wooden boat with a shallow draft hull designed for speed. Typically, a longship is narrower, longer, and shallower than a knarr, and is powered by oars. It is completely open and is built for speed and maneuverability. The knarr was a cargo ship, the
responsibility that Nelson had in 1798. He bored responsibilities that are also described in modern books, there he mentioned important themes. Those themes, for example developing teamwork, are still very valuable. In 1798 he faced challenge when in continental Europe controlled by revolutionary France,. In Toulon French were making big fleet and army. When Nelson wasn't even 40 yet, he was choosed to find and defeat the 17 French ships and 300 troop ships. He never haven't commanded a fleet before. Before he put together his own ships, he knew captains and rest by reputation. When all team came together then everybody were working well together because he knew how to open people. He involved them into open-minded discussions and he never reproofed or brainstormed the team because of that. At the same time team always knew who have responsibility and because of all that good
Britain and the sea The sea has always attracted people. It is beautiful, it offers them food, and it carries them to different places round the world. Both countries lost many people in the long series of battles. Seaman suffering from illnesses and hunger died in the streets of coastal villages even several months after returning to land. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the number of ships increased more than four times as trade between Britain and other countries was growing. The ships were small and they were needed in great numbers to carry all the cargoes. Hundreds of then were wrecked off the coasts of the British Isles.
During this time Columbus tried to interest the kings of France and England in his plans. They were not interested either. Then, in the summer of 1492, Queen Isabella suddenly agreed to finance the plan. If Columbus succeeded in reaching the East, he was to receive the Spanish noble title of don. He would also become admiral and ruler of all the lands discovered, and he would be entitled to one tenth of gold, silver, gems and spices found there. The tiny fleet consisted of three ships. Columbus himself commanded the flagship, the Santa Maria. She carried a crew of 40 men. The two other ships, the Niña and the Pinta, were smaller and together they had the crews of 50 men. Expect for four of the crewmen and Columbus himself all the men who made the voyage were Spaniards. Columbus' fleet set sail from Palos on August 3, 1492. On August 12 they reached the Canary Islands. There they stopped for almost a month because the ships needed

WTO- the World Trade Organisation is the driver to ensure trade between countries has no barriers world wide. 340 mln container are circling the globe! 500.000 ships ensure that cargo is shipped around the world. Import duties have dropped to less than 5%. 4)Which industry is still heavily subsidized and needs further liberalization? Agriculture Since 1950 World Trade has grown 20 fold. The North American Free Trade agreement (NAFTA) belongs to Canada, Mexico and the Unites States. Liner trade means liner shipping is the service of transporting goods by means of high-capacity, ocean-going ships that transit regular routes on fixed schedules.

seas. He didn't get to go to school very much, but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. He was a navigator, colonizer and explorer. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship. He tried for eight years to get King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to supply him with ships and money. Finally they agreed. In 1492 Christopher left from Spain with a crew of 90 men and a fleet of three ships. His three ships were called the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. There were 24 men on the Niña, 26 men on the Pinta, and 40 men on the Santa María. The Niña and the Pinta were caravels. The Santa María was a larger and slower-sailing supply ship. They left Spain on August 3, 1492. They made one stop, then sailed on toward the west

the Industrial Revolution. In the early 18th century, Englishman Abraham Darby (1678-1717) discovered a cheaper, easier method to produce cast iron, using a coke-fueled (as opposed to charcoal-fired) furnace. In the 1850s, British engineer Henry Bessemer (1813-1898) developed the first inexpensive process for mass-producing steel. Both iron and steel became essential materials, used to make everything from appliances, tools and machines, to ships, buildings and infrastructure. The steam engine was also integral to industrialization. In 1712, Englishman Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729) developed the first practical steam engine (which was used primarily to pump water out of mines). By the 1770s, Scottish inventor James Watt (1736-1819) had improved on Newcomen's work, and the steam engine went on to power machinery, locomotives and ships during the Industrial Revolution.

At that time, a trading ship built inNZ, Sir George Murray was seized in Sydney by Customs officials for sailing without a flag or register. Australia, which was the most important trading partner for NZ had British navigation laws which ruled that every ship must carry an official certificate detailing construction, ownership and nationality of the ship. The problem was that during that period of time, NZ was not yet a colony ofGreat Britan, thats why the NZ-built ships could not sail under a British flag or register. Without a flag to represent the new nation, trading ships and their valuable cargoes would continue to be seized (held by the Australian customs (toll) The Australians called for signing a legislation to remove any obstacles to New Zealand's increasing trade with the ports in Australia. While a temporary licence was granted in August 1831 allowing the Sir George Murray to return to Sydney for trading, the need for an official
He is commonly known as "the painter of light". One of his main themes was the helplessness and smallness of man against the destructive forces of nature. One of my favourite paintings is "The Fighting `Temeraire' tugged to her Last Berth to be broken up. Turner was in his sixties when he painted this painting. It shows his mastery of painting techniques to suggest sea and sky. It depicts one of the last second-rate ships of the line which played a distinguished role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Turner's main concern was to evoke a sense of loss, rather than to give an exact recording of the event. The painting "The Fighting 'Temeraire' " was painted in the years 1838-1839. The painting technique is oil, 91 x 122 cm. The painting type is landscape. Now the painting "The Fighting 'Temeraire' " locates in National Gallery, London.

Kulibin's project was praised by Leonhard Euler and Daniel Bernoulli, but was never realized. After 1780, Kulibin worked on possibilities for a metallic bridge, but these projects were also rejected by the government. Altogether Kulibin designed three projects for wooden and three projects for metallic bridges. In 1779, he built a lantern that could emit a powerful light using a weak light source. This invention was used industrially for lighting workshops, lighthouses, ships, etc. In 1791, Kulibin constructed a push-cycle cart, in which he used a flywheel, a brake, a gearbox and roller bearing. The cart was operated by a man pressing pedals.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In the same year, he also designed "mechanical legs", a prosthetic device, which was later used by a French entrepreneur. In 1793, Kulibin constructed an elevator that lifted a cabin using screw mechanisms. In 1794, he created an optical telegraph for transmitting signals over distance.
It is apart of the United Kingdom. Scotland is divided into three natural regions: the Southern Uplands, the Central Lowlands and the Highlands and islands. A lot of places in Scotland are a natural paradise, still untouched by man. Glasgow · Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the third largest in the United Kingdom. Before 1750 Glasgow was a small town. It had a cathedral and a university but it was not a rich town. After 1707 Scottish ships could go to the English colonies in America. Ships brought tobacco to Glasgow and took back Scottish goods. In 1776, the American colonies became independent and the tobacco trade stopped. Heavy industry began to develop. It used coal and iron from the Clyde valley. Glasgow became rich but very dirty. Sport · Scotland is famous for football teams: Rangers and Celtic. Most people in Scotland are fans of one of teams.
1)Main machinery On a ship, the engine room, or ER, is the propulsion machinery spaces of the vessel. To increase the safety and damage survivability of a vessel, the machinery necessary for operations may be segregated into various spaces. The engine room is one of these spaces, and is generally the largest physical compartment of the machinery space. The engine room houses the vessel's prime mover, usually some variations of a heat engine - diesel engine, gas or steam turbine. On some ships, the machinery space may comprise more than one engine room, such as forward and aft, or port or starboard engine rooms, or may be simply numbered. 1.1)Main engine The engine room of a motor vessel typically contains several engines for different purposes. Main, or propulsion engines are used to turn the ship's propeller and move the ship through the water. They typically burn diesel oil or heavy fuel oil, and may be able to switch between the two
Night of Dec. 6, Morning of Dec. 7: U.S. intelligence decodes a message pointing to Sunday morning as a deadline for some kind of Japanese action. The message is delivered to the Washington high command more than 4 hours before the attack on Pearl Harbor. But the message is not forwarded to the Pearl Harbor commanders and finally arrives only after the attack has begun. At 07:55, Hawaiian time, the first wave of Japanese aircraft begin the attack. Along with the ships in Pearl Harbor, the air stations at Hickam, Wheeler, Ford Island, Kaneohe and Ewa Field are attacked. The Japanese attack continues for two hours and 20 minutes. When it's over, more than 2,400 Americans are dead and nearly 1,200 wounded. Eighteen ships have been sunk or damaged. More than 300 aircraft are damaged or destroyed.

Nature vs Society In the Works of British Romanticists Research paper Liisi Pajula 11 b The Inchcape Rock by Robert Southey The Inchcape Rock is a poem about Sir Ralph the Rover, an evil man, who wants to sink other ships, so he could use his own ship to blunder villages and towns. He removes a warning bell that warns sailors about a secret underwater rock. By doing this, he signs his own death sentence. At a dark night, he crashes his ship to the Rock, because there was no bell to warn him. In the first stanza of the poem Southey describes the surroundings. The tone of the poem is set, at the begging it is very serene and relaxed. The weather and sea are calm, the ship stands, undisturbed, in the water

House of Tudor. The town became a popular resort in the 17th century and many grand houses were built there. The maritime connections of Greenwich were celebrated in the 20th century. Greenwich area is the most famous thing about London. Greenwich is the Old Royal Observatory from where time all over the world is measured. The Greenwich Time Ball is the bright red Time Ball on top of Flamsteed House. That is one of the world's earliest public time signals, distributing time to ships on the Thames and many Londoners. It was first used in 1833 and still operates today. Each day, at 12.55, the time ball rises half way up its mast. At 12.58 it rises all the way to the top. At 13.00 exactly, the ball falls.
Wind power is very old power source, sailing ships have been using wind power for at least 5,500 years. The first practical windmills were built in Afghanistan, from the 7th century to grind corn and draw up water. The first windmill for electricity production was built in Scotland in 1887 to power the lighting in the cottage, thus making it the first house in the world to have its electricity supplied by wind power. During the Second World War, small wind generators were to recharge submarine batteries. In the 1990s, wind power became more important, because fossil fuels pollute the atmosphere and humanity needed alternative fuels. That's because wind power is so necessary. Wind power is also renewable energy and it doesn't cause greenhouse gases. Building windmills is actually quite expensive and they need repairing or replacing about every 12-15 years. And strong winds can also break the wind turbines. Considering these thin...
The original island was quite small , but it was expanded with land reclamation between 1892 adn 1934. the name ellis island came from samuel ellis who brought the island in 1775. Ellis dies in 1794, and in 1808 New York State buys the island from his family for $10,000. The U.S. War Department pays the state for the right to use Ellis Island to build military fortifications and store ammunition The first Ellis Island Immigration Station officially opens on January 1, 1892, as three large ships wait to land. Seven hundred immigrants passed through Ellis Island that day, and nearly 450,000 passed throught Ellis Island first year. Over the next five years, more than 12 million people will pass through the island on their way into the United States. The Ellis island was designed by Edward Lippincott Tilton and William Alciphron Boring.

Yet, this was not a catastrophe and people would pray for the next years' crop to be a proper one but it was even worse and on top of that, the winter of 1846 was the "severest in living memory". The crop, which previously had provided 60% of the nations' food needs, failed. Many families were evicted because they couldn't pay for their land. Hand in hand, starvation and diseases spreaded all across the country. As soon as spring began, people started emigrating to Canada - ships bringing lumber to England were glad to receive paying passengers. Almost every ship had a third of their passenger's die at sea or upon their arrival. On the shores of Quebec eyewitnesses saw hundreds literally flung on the beach, left in the mud, dying. Yet, it was only the potato crop that failed wheat, oats, pork, mutton etc. were excellent, but all was shipped to Europe to ease the starvation there. The British government
Usually they don't move alone, they are always in a tourist group or in some other group. Young Japanese are like old Brits. They always carry a camera with them and take pictures of everything. And one weird thing is that only younger Japanese get lost here at least I haven't seen any middle-age Japanese. The Yanks Americans are here usually with their familys, they are huge and very loud. They visit all the sightseeings only because everybody does that. They get here with cruise ships and a lot of them even won't come out of the ship. The Turks Turks looks like Russians but they are here for girls. Some richer young Turks can afford to travel and they are here in Estonia. Turks don't do anything beside watching Estonian teenagers. That is a little bit sick but this is also tourism. I'm not a girl so I don't have anything to do with Turks. But sometimes in summer they are here.

expensive too. Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have very comfortable seats. There are also sleeping cars and dining cars which make even the longest journey enjoyable. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advantages of trains and planes. That is why I prefer travelling by train. Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. On board large ships and small river boats people can visit foreign countries and different places of interest within their own country. It is very pleasant to see the rise and fall of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing and hear the cry of the seagulls. Trips on the Volga, the Dnieper, the Yenisei, the Black Sea are very popular today. Many people like to travel by car. It is interesting too, because you can stop when and where you like, you do not have to buy tickets or carry your suitcases.

skills have reverted. A century ago nobody knew technical instruments such as calculator or computer. People calculated by themselves, the letters were sent by post and people had more time to spend with family than nowadays, because now the majority of us are spending time on the Internet. So is the development of technique our fortune or accident? Of course the technique makes our lives easier. New agricultural machines are able to do more work than we. Planes and ships enable us to discover foreign countries thousands of miles away and broaden the mind. Moreover we have a chance to find interesting and educating information from computer, but with what price? All these robots and facilities prevent us from thinking ourselves. We create traps, from which is difficult to get out. For example the using of the calculator generates in us the fixation. We can excellently calculate but we still use a calculator and so we are forgetting all these elementary things
diseases. 2. Jobs created by tourism are often poorly paid and seasonal. Tourism can push up local property prices and the cost of goods and services. 3. A huge amount of tourism returns are taken away from the target country. There are many reasons: quarters with a foreign heritage, travel agency, commercial expences and raw materials for the tourists. ENVIRONMENT 1. Pollution The cruise ships of the Mediterrean Sea are polluting water and coast areas and the bottom of the sea. One cruise ship creates about 50 tons of solid garbage a year.

TEST – The history of London 1) London was definitely not an important place during the Celtic period. It was just a mosquito-infested swamp. 2) London became a trading centre during the Roman occupation. It was an important crossing point for the Romans over the river Thames. Market forces began to operate. With troops stationed and ships calling, merchants will inevitably set up shops. 3) The Celtic warrior queen Boudicca and her tribesmen fought against the Roman conquest and devastated Londinium. The city was burned down and its inhabitants massacred. 4) London was rapidly rebuilt and in AD 122 the Roman walls were built around it as a defence. 5) The Romans left Britain early in the 5th century because they had to cope with troubles elsewhere in the Empire. 6) Around AD 400 the Germanic tribes invaded Britain.

plan for the prediction and prevention of these horrible assaults. The men of the seas are always on the lookout for another natural disaster: whirlpools. These massive swirling vortexes of water are the cause of many lost sailors every year. With our primitive technology and archaic maps, seafarers sail the vast seas virtually blind, and can only hope to reach their destination. But sadly, all too often they will unknowingly navigate their ships straight into a tremendous whirlpool. As the trapped schooners swirl helplessly into these black holes of the seas, they are lost forever. It is believed that they end up in some alternate dimension, but this is only theory at this time. We can only hope to one day locate, and contain all the whirlpools in the expansive oceans of our world. Speaking of worlds, we come to our last natural disaster: meteors. These missiles from space
Should the ship enter or leave ports, you may be required to work twelve hours a day depending upon the type of ship’s contract. During the off duty time, you are free to do anything as you want, but you will seldom actually complete your rank duties during shifts, so you will actually have to over-work after those. It will depend on which type of ship you are sailing with. From time to time, you will fly really far to join ships by plane, depending upon which company you work with. Practicing you will get head to head with difficulties and become a professional. In conclusion, I want to say, that to me, this job is worth studying and working hard. It is actually more than a few reasons why I choose it. It is just what I think, I should do. TTÜ EMARA 12.05.15 Oleksiy Krasnoperov LL-13
