Zero is being schooledformulating the feeling of expanse not ordinarily benefaction in the 32' yacht of exemplary proportions, we, Chicago area options have been abundant. How vast do we wish your vessel to be.

A transom is lyman clinker built boats 02 done from play propitious over the four-piece physique ? A propane is additionally limited .

There are two basic bill shapes: curved with tightly-curved being a sub-set of curved , and absolutely flat. What do each say about the wearer? If anything. Maybe because of the similarity to a duck bill? Absolutely Flat Bills. Wearing the hat with a stone-flat bill is, to me anyway, a new phenomenon.

However, you never see them at rodeos, NASCAR races, honky-tonks, hotrod meets, shooting ranges, country music festivals, etc. Culturally, the right side of the aisle seems to want nothing to do with flat hat bills.

Have you ever seen a gray dog wearing a flat-brim hat? However, increasingly, they seem to be the proper social attire for the young. But, we all know how silly those folks are! Tightly Curved Bill: There are a couple of variations of the curved hat bill.

They include mildly curved bills and curved-tighter-than-hell bills. Potato Head in one but I wear them when flying anyway.

However, the only folks who can get away with the super-tightly-scrunched bills have to have a physical look that matches the tight bill. You to be slim, with longer than normal hair and it helps if you have a couple days growth and are leading a horse behind you or getting out of a truck that has more rust than paint.

And definitely not shorts. Denim is the obvious match to the hat. This is okay as long as they are advertising John Deere, Colt or Ruger. Or even C. Martin or Gibson. However, a Titleist, Ping or Mercedes hat looks wildly out of place on a country stage.

It may even be illegal! And now for cowboy hats: One way of finding me at a fly-in is to look for the well-worn Stetson. I live in cowboy hats, when outside. Also, I wear them for the same reason cowboys do: At fly-ins we need the shade. Think about that image. So, the brims often had very little curve front to back but often had just a little rim around the brim, maybe to keep rain water more controllable.

Those of us who have hats that show sweat stains from many decades of wear, seem to favor that shape because we came of age watching Westerns. I have chubby cheeks so mine is a chubby-cheek hat that tones down the Mr. Potato Head effect. That having been said, I should mention that this week Hasbro announced that Mr. Potato Head has suffered gender elimination.

I tend to associate the squarish brim cowboy hat with a younger generation, many of whom are actually working the land. So, they can get away with any shape they want. They are not of the cowboy variety. The Flag. The saddest trend in wearable symbology is the way that wearing the flag, either on a shoulder patch, as a tie or on a hat, evokes a negative thought pattern in some folks. Especially those on the left side of the aisle.

Who ever thought that wearing the flag would be a problem? It denotes patriotism, which, itself somehow has a negative connotation in some quarters. Sometimes I can tolerate change. Enuff said? As I said last week, the pandemic and the associated shutdowns constituted a form a stay-cation for us.

Fortunately, during the shutdown, magazine editors were hard pressed for content, so my writing output was greatly increased. I did a ton of feature articles during the shutdown. A ton! To fly one hour of Pitts dual-given takes two hours and fifteen minutes minimum because of the pre and postflight briefings, ground school, transit time, fitting cushions to saddle up, etc.

I do that a minimum of twice a day which means that five hours a day, seven days a week, are consumed by flight instruction. And I have a few negative feelings about it. When the airplane was being rebuilt in , it was down for 93 days and I was getting pretty antsy by the time it was ready to go. I guess some people are just hardwired to be teachers. However, the dedicated teacher will tell you that they do it because they want to.

Not because they have to. They look forward to it. In so many ways it is their identity. Both are challenges. Both are centered on problem solving, some of which requires instantaneous action on my part.

Even though both of our work days are spent in the house, usually on computers, we only see each other, as we breeze past in the hall racing to meet our next commitment. Not a good feeling considering that the age-clock that every graydog has ticking in his head is continually getting louder.

The good news is that the nation still exists and is coming out of hibernation. Some parts of it are more awake than others, but the people are stirring. Why not? I understand. So, not splitting our house with someone else and me not leaving for the airport early every morning, let us concentrate that was going on within the four walls of ourselves.

That included The Banger race car project. I built the frame from scratch and I mean by scratch: The entire thing was made of flat gauge cold roll steel. I was trying replicate the way it would have been done around , which is the supposed period of the car I started with.

It was at least two and probably three cars, that someone had tried to cobble together to race, but they never came close: Nothing was joined in such a way that it could have been driven. The rear radius rods and suspension, for instance, besides being laughably crude, were dimensioned all wrong: The radius rods were pivoted a full six inches behind the front U-joint so things would have broken the first time it hit a bump.

I adapted that to a 3-speed Ford transmission, which would give me sychromesh gears in 2nd and 3rd. A stock Model A trans has no synchro anywhere. I thought I could save the nose too, but it turned out to be horribly cracked everywhere and wildly out of line.

Very rusty but period looking and would clean up. The steering box also was worth saving. I finished the frame, got the engine, suspension and transmission mounted and totally rebuilt the steel framework that framed the cockpit and mounted the firewall. There were many yards of cutting and welding to make that framework square and presentable.

The car just returned from a couple weeks at his place where he hammered out a new nose, , repaired and mounted the cowling and tail and hooked up the steering arm to the front end I had put together. Now it not only looks like a car, but IS a car. An alignment issue popped up while he was doing that and after it came home I had to strip everything off the frame to check it for square again thinking that might be the problem.

When the new rear crossmember is in, the car will need all of its systems fabricated and installed, brakes, electrical, fuel, radiator, etc. Plus, everything about the car is right out in the open so working on that kind of stuff is embarrassingly easy compared to the same thing on The Roadster, where everything was crammed together and impossible to get at.

So, work on the Banger will slow down. Now, I actually have to go back to work. Oh, well, I knew that sooner or later I was going to have leave Disneyland. The Perseverance landing had an emotion edge to it because we were in the control room sharing the tension and the excitement with those who made it happen.

I got choked up just watching. Ming the Merciless had arrived! Only the gray dogs among you will get that reference. The writer was trying to locate a Grassroots column I had written years ago and could I forward it to him.

Another absolute miracle happened when I was able to find the original draft of it. I had written it in !!! In reading it, I felt as if it was something worth sharing. Hozro is the Navajo word, which, if I understand it correctly, denotes a concept in which you strive for balance within yourself, with the natural world around you and with the spirituality which that world contains.

But, more than simply being aviators, we are serious aviators and our interest is more than an interest. I remember hearing The Redhead on the phone a few years back, when it looked as if selling the Pitts would be a smart financial move. Not, if I have anything to do about it. They definitely do not see themselves as one entity, their environment as another and their spirtual beliefs as yet another. They see them all as parts of a whole.

Their religious beliefs and their identity as a people spring from the land and everything blends together with no borders between spirituality, life and the world. Their religion, if you want to call it that, is simply the way they live their lives. The people whom I see as being truly satisfied with their lives have all developed a delicate balance between their passions, what they do and who they are.

These people radiate a quiet confidence that has nothing to do with how much they earn, what they say, how they dress or what they fly. They are just there, quietly doing what they do and enjoying their lives. Even if aviation is their central interest, they know there are many other factors which must be included in their lives or there would be no balance.

It would be a good life, but not a balanced one. Few Anglos do. Those of us who constantly seek a balance eventually reach it.

I can let lots of stuff roll off my back. Oh, wait�I may have just told a couple of lies. The sole exception might be how I feel about perfecting flying skills. All that having been said, I want to describe a surprising, but, fortunately, short term, episode that happened last weekend that showed me a forgotten side of myself. Then I can start flying the more than 30 folks on my Pitts waiting list.

One of those hops was early last Sunday. It had been a decent hop during which I made five landings. However, as I was driving home, I had a series of disturbing thoughts invade my mood. The plan for the day was that, when I got home I was going to concentrate on the final shaping of the butt stock for one of my rolling block single-shot rifle projects, of which I have five in process.

This in addition to four muzzle-loading rifles, two Mausers bolt actions one a yard target, iron sighted target piece and one Martini range rifle.

As I drove, my brain was skipping from rolling block to rolling block trying to decide which one to jump on as soon as I got home. That was a really upsetting thought. In a nano second, I was in a funk. Nothing has any worth because the time is so short. Who gives a crap!? By the time I got home, I was a total waste of space. I wandered into the front room, slumped into a chair, and just sat there.

My brain was awash in negative thoughts. What the hell?! Sparks were streaming out of angle-head grinders with cutoff wheels. MIG welders were making the so-identifiable bacon-frying sounds. Bits of unrelated steel were being combined to create something very unique and cool. There was something very calming and affirming about the process I was watching. In about ten minutes I was very conscious of my negative thought patterns fading.

The sure knowledge that I was never going to get everything finished was mutating into something else. The negativism was slowly being replaced by a plan of action. That was hardly a new thought. Out of that came a new set of Rules of Engagement in terms of finishing projects.

The Banger Car and The Roadster would be top priority, in that order. However, short periods of time, an hour or so, would be interspersed between automotive endeavors and aimed at the rifles.

Without any conscious thought, those were also prioritized. The new butt stock for the was number one as it was already fitted, had the butt plate attached and was half way through final shaping. The pecking order of the other rifle projects fell in behind that one. Negative thoughts and funks are hard to avoid. In my experience, depression is often the culmination of us creating, and then feeding on, our own negative thoughts.

The way I beat them back is to step into the shop and start making sawdust or sparks. BTW � Never finish all of your projects. We always need something to look forward to. However, I am going to put a You-Tube link at the end of this treatise that I think every 2nd Amendment supporter should watch. It said that most people have two energy peaks during the day that may be two to four hours apart.

We have no control over when they occur, how strong they are or anything else. They are at pm and pm so, like it or not, I was a night owl, continually working until midnight or and not getting up until Those were, and still are, my most creative hours and when I do most of my drafting of articles, etc. My first wife was a morning person there was constant conflict in that area.

When I came out here, I was instantly put in charge of running a man operation manufacturing and mail order sales that started at So, I arrived at , forcing myself out of the sack at or so. This was six days a week for nine very intense months and it reset, or at least revised, my body clock. However, my most creative hours were still late in the afternoon and evening. I should also mention that my body clock has always been cast in concrete and lets me have six to six and a half hours of sleep.

I never use alarm clocks. I just wake up. It just happens. During the period, when I first got here and my body clock was being reset, I became very aware of a difference in the way my brain worked early morning versus early evening. I also start drinking a half dozen cups of coffee a day. So, now I run my days based on what I learned during that period and have kept my body clock set to what it became during that time: Up , depending on what my body feels like doing, but I try hard to give myself a six and a half window to sleep.

They are going in too many directions. However, the central one goes back to the last line of the Thinking Out Loud I did two weeks ago. But, you know what? Right now, we have to hope that those who we sent to Washington do what they were sent there to do.

That, however, assumes the electoral process works as it should. If it works, the mid-term elections will solve a lot of our perceived problems. Or at least prevent them from getting worse.

Among them, much higher taxes, a border that might as well not be there, a government size that will grow in leaps and bounds and a ton of regulations and policies that will slow the economy, cause businesses to go overseas again , etc.

Again, that train has left the station. However, the important stuff�our home, family and friends�are the things over which we have some control and affect us directly.

Those we need to worry about. However, believe me, this has the makings of a disaster for a large segment of the flying public. If there is any good news out there, it is that the vaccines are starting to roll out. So, when it comes back to me in a couple of weeks the project becomes one of fabricating and installing systems brakes, electrical, fuel, etc. Circling back to the political stuff: The world has not, nor will it, come to an end. Although there are going to be some dire changes that make many of us unhappy, we will survive I think.

Just know that the American spirit that has taken us through pandemics, wars and political upheavals in the past is still healthy enough to see us through again. So, hang in there! What the hell is going on?!

What follows are thoughts from the fog of war ingulfing us. This is a helluva way to start to start a new year! First, the topic of the month: the DC invasion. Regardless of how you spin it, Trump was wrong to fire up the crowd.

However, from a transcript of the speech it would appear that what transpired went well past what he expected to happen. And investigations appear to be saying that the early reports about what happened may not be correct.

However, telling something like 45, people to march down to the Capital and make their displeasure known was almost guaranteed to backfire. Social media Has absolute control of what the country sees and thinks. They dwarf network or cable news in terms of information flow and their control of it. Today, social media is more than social. However, for the first time in our history, much of the population is doubting the ballot box.

This is not healthy for us. It is not even remotely the America we know and love. The same thing could be said about the whole logic of impeaching an executive who only has a little over a week in office left now just four days.

Congressional vitriol of this level aimed at destroying a single individual has never been seen before. This is also not healthy. However, the most threatening aspect of it is the precedent it sets.

By taking such a dramatic action with neither an investigation nor giving the accused a chance to defend himself and zooming through the entire procedure in a single day has set the stage for the same thing to happen should the other party be in control. It has made implementing snap decisions on a national level into a norm.

This is not only scary but drives the wedge between the two factions even deeper. It is sad in the extreme. What the most recent facts to come out of the investigations into the capital invasion pointed out to me is several things.

Second, it points out how many crazies are taking advantage of the situation, not to enforce their beliefs or to make a point, but simply to destroy and generally engage in anachronistic, anti-government behavior. As I sit here right now, four days from the inauguration, that statement about the past couple of weeks is what worries me the most.

There is a crazy element out there that belongs to neither side and is raising hell just because they can. Or vice versa. Both sides have their share of crazies. Regardless of who does what, anything that goes wrong is going to widen a divide that already looks as if it is too wide to bridge.

They want to divide us and destroy America. If the anarchists win, both sides have lost. As a nation, we desperately need a boring week. How is your year going so far? Is living up to your Lyman Clinker Built Boats 95 expectations?

So far, 18 hours into the new year, my version of is actually pretty good. I wonder if I can keep it that way? Official local sunrise was My watch said it was when my left hand started forward and the bark of an unmuffled IO Lycoming proceeded to wake up the neighbors.

The tower had verified that the OAT was 38 degrees. My little red mind-blower blasted through pattern altitude long before we reached the end of the runway. It was glorious and at that moment I decided that was going to be whatever I would make it to be. It is so hard to remember that the past year actually saw some monumental things happen, many of which are fading in our memory.

Underlying the life threatening, soul-sucking aspects of Covid 19 was a pandemic, or maybe an epidemic, of politicization. Everything having to do with everything was infected with politics.

Every aspect of what remained of our lives was viewed through a right or left prism, which fractured our views in such a way that no matter how something turned out, it left a bad taste in your mouth. This begins with the media including the purveyors of social media, the mega companies and works up through our various levels of government. A lot of previously sacrosanct bodies, from the church to the Boy Scouts to the NRA, whatever, now exist under an umbrella of distrust.

There is nothing at the national level in which we have total, or even partial, faith. Maybe Shakespeare had it wired, when he said 'Now is the winter of our discontent', the first line of Richard III, The second line of the play is 'To be made a glorious summer by the son of York', referring to a politician or whatever who was going to save the day.

Given our current situation, is there anyone on either side of the aisle who honestly believes someone is going to gallop in and right our ship? This is pretty damn hard to believe, given that for most of our lives whether the words were coming down from a pulpit, a DC chamber or our local Boy Scout troop leader, right or left, they all pointed in the same general direction: The goals were a happy, healthy population and a country with a solid belief in the worth of its people and the concrete guidance of our Constitution.

Now everyone in power at any level seems to have an agenda that is focused more on power for the party or the corporation than the good of the people. To a certain extent I feel as I imagine the Pilgrims felt when they stepped off the Mayflower and realized they truly were strangers in a strange land and they were on their own. They had to develop a beachhead and what happened from that point on was totally dependent on their own resourcefulness and determination.

We have little or no control over anything past that. More correctly, as I start typing this it is exactly Christmas morning.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. So, here I am. Christmas might as well have been cancelled. This is indicative of our general lack of cheer and energy because our neighborhood is afire with decorations and blow-up Santas, elves and things that look like a cross between the Michelin Man and cupie dolls.

For whatever reason, me sitting here in the dark typing conjures up the image of one of my better Christmas mornings when I was about eight years old. I had sneaked out to the tree before anyone got up and retrieved one of my presents. It was a mechanized, die-cast, wonderfully detailed WW I artillery piece. About eight inches long, it had a working breech system that, when opened, accepted the cast lead artillery shells that were made in two pieces: slug and casing.

The casing contained a spring and a hook-shaped part of that spring protruded through the slug and locked it in place.

After locking the breech closed, when I moved a lever on the breech, it unlocked the slug and fired it half way across the room. I had a flash light in bed with me and my covers over me like a tent while I played with my new toy. I was in heaven! To a certain extent, that memory saddens me. The first step is always when your kids are no longer kids. Kids are the magic that makes the day.

The second step is when the family splinters as everyone begins their own lives and scatter. Then, if a divorce is involved, that divides that family, further fracturing the life forces that make Christmas day a family affair. And then the pandemic came along.

The Chinese Christmas Curse flattened the lead-up to the day and pretty much sucked the life out of it. However, I have a suggestion that, at least in our household, may help. So, as of today, Christmas for the Clan Davisson, is being moved to July 4th, Come July, we might be the only house on the block with Christmas lights and more than our usual one American flag, but at least a little of the right kind of spirit will have returned to our household.

You can sign up by hanging your Christmas lights in July however, I hate those blow up things as a sign that the pandemic cocoon has opened and the long-overdue butterfly of the American spirit is once again aloft. Screw politics! Screw China! Hooray America! Hooray family! We owe it to ourselves. Usually money is the deciding factor. But, not always.

When our first house mortgage was for 30 years, we totally ignored the time it would take to pay it off and focused on what it was going to cost a month.

We live most of our lives making those kinds of decisions: The cost per month far out-weighs any time concerns. Then, that thought pattern begins to change. I had a rather startling example of that recently. This is on top of bailing from Flight Journal last year. However, the writing income has expanded because editors are starved for material.

On the good side, progress on the Banger car has accelerated rapidly because not flying means I have weekends. However, I can figure the Banger stuff out. The tooth in question, which is technically known as Number Three third from the back, top right and is the first one in front of the molars. Prior to the latest dental drama, it had been capped at least twice. This is where the time thing comes into play.

Now, I have to. However, now it does because evaluating time is based on a logarithmic scale in which the value of time increases exponentially as we watch it disappear. The less we have, the more we value it. Or at least we should. I know entirely too many people my age who sleep late and spend their days in a lounge chair in front of the TV with a six pack at hand.

Retirement is slowly and insidiously killing them. The easy-chair gang looks old and acts old. Those who are engaged in life and are still living it seem to belong in an entirely different, younger age group.

The big difference is motivation and interests. The concept of motivation and interests has always mystified me. I have no idea why some people are fired up about being alive and others just sit there letting it pass them by as if it means nothing.

In truth most have always been that way. Beginning at birth, they have basically been in storage waiting for Ma Nature to haul them away.

My friends, on the other hand, are having a helluva good time fighting time and making it pay for itself. It seems to be baked into their DNA. I wish there was a way that motivation could be processed into a pill and swallowed. Today, Dec 6th, is the 79th anniversary of the day before the whole world changed.

It was a sunny, normal weekend in Hawaii and the rest of the US was just living life. The next day, via radio, our parents and grandparents learned that the world, as they knew it, was gone and a new one was in the process of taking its place, even as they listened. Especially something approaching 80 years old. My generation, that which is characterized as Bomb Babies, born right after WW II, is the last generation that might have had parents who had personal remembrances of a time, we can only imagine.

Dad jumped the gun. That said, however, the times during which I heard an adult talk about their experiences in combat were few and far between. Just like today, we seldom hear a Vietnam combat vet talk about their experiences.

The combat-experience is something that is usually shared only with those who had been there and can understand. When I was 16 years old, 80 years earlier would have been and the Indian Wars were peaking and, sadly, would draw to a close over the next decade. The West was well into the process of being settled.

As a teenager, even though I was heavy into hotrods, guns and guitars, I had a lot of interest in that period. That having been said, I do have to say that my old hometown, Seward, Nebraska seems to have a more obvious pride in its past than many towns of its size.

Plus, they have a county museum and the National Guard Armory features a small museum and a Sherman and a Patton tank out front. Part of this historical pride may be because for a town of its size 7, now, , when I graduated , it is far more financially fortunate than most of its peer group.

Going back to shortly after WW I, it has had a strong industrial manufacturing base that seems to keep getting stronger. So, it has the tax revenues and can afford the pride that shows in almost every square block of the town. Plus, the people, in general, seem to value their history more than many do.

To my generation, Dec 7th still means something because it was a life altering event in the lives of our folks. Every person of the post-war generation who is reading this remembers hearing their parents telling them how it felt to be sitting around the radio listening to news reports of the attack and then FDR declaring war for all to hear.

Their tales were an integral part of our upbringing. To this day, I can picture that thumb-sized, jagged piece of steel laying in the palm of his hand. Threads of his uniform were still jammed in the crevices. He also had a loaded feeder strip of 7. Pearl Harbor and WW II was still a living memory for my generation, but those memories lose their meaning as additional generations are added to the que.

I know that next year, on the 80th Anniversary, there will be lots of flag waving, parades and speeches. Old movies will be replayed. There will even be a few stooped, old warriors who try to remind us of the reality of the day.

Oh well: They may not remember or appreciate. But, you and I will. He was late for his own birth, so he was induced. Would I be doing the world a disserve by being so un-American as to not mention Trump, Biden or Covid in this blog?

However, as smart as they may be, they are actually pretty marginal telephones. In fact, in some ways they are flat-out lousy. That phone was an 8 and was a really good phone but had some sort of problem, so I went up to an Xs. We get the 8 fixed and give it to her. So, I dug through my desk drawers and excavated the 8, however, in the process, my old Motorola Razr flip phone surfaced along with my first iPhone, which was a 6.

It had been a while since I had seen either and was immediately struck by the difference in size. Aulick was an officer in the United States Navy whose service extended from the War of to the end of the antebellum era. After that engagement ended in an American victory, Aulick served as prize master of the prize. Thomas Macdonough was an early 19th-century American naval officer, most notably as commander of American naval forces on Lake Champlain during the War of One of the leading members of "Preble's Boys", a small group of naval officers who served during the First Barbary War , Macdonough's actions during the decisive Battle of Lake Champlain are often cited as a model of tactical preparation and execution.

HMS Challenger , built in , undertook the first global marine research expedition called the Challenger expedition in To enable her to probe the depths, all but two of Challenger ' s guns had been removed and her spars reduced to make more space available. Laboratories, extra cabins and a special dredging platform were installed. She was loaded with specimen jars, alcohol for preservation of samples, microscopes and chemical apparatus, trawls and dredges, thermometers and water sampling bottles, sounding leads and devices to collect sediment from the sea bed and great lengths of rope with which to suspend the equipment into the ocean depths.

In all she was supplied with miles km of Italian hemp for sounding, trawling and dredging. As the first true oceanographic cruise, the Challenger expedition laid the groundwork for an entire academic and research discipline. Like most periodic eras the definition is inexact and close enough to serve as a general description. The age of sail runs roughly from the Battle of Lepanto in , the last significant engagement in which oar -propelled galleys played a major role, to the Battle of Hampton Roads in , in which the steam-powered CSS Virginia destroyed the sailing ships USS Cumberland and USS Congress , finally culminating with the advance of steam power , rendering sail power obsolete.

The history of submarines covers the historical chronology and facts related to submarines , the ships and boats which operate underwater.

The modern underwater boat proposal was made by the Englishman William Bourne who designed a prototype submarine in Unfortunately for him these ideas never got beyond the planning stage.

The first submersible proper to be actually built in modern times was built in by Cornelius Jacobszoon Drebbel , a Dutchman in the service of James I : it was based on Bourne's design. It was propelled by means of oars. The precise nature of the submarine type is a matter of some controversy; some claim that it was merely a bell towed by a boat.

Two improved types were tested in the Thames between and In , the U. From to , tremendous changes were made for a great time when the first submarine was sent out to sail for the first time. The United States heavily depended on the submarines as a weapon of war when they were going to war with the Japanese.

Steam was first applied to boats in the s. With the advent of economical steam engines , efficient external combustion heat engines that makes use of the heat energy that exists in steam and converting it to mechanical work , the prime mover was steam for ships.

A steamboat , sometimes called a steamer, became the primary method of propulsion is the age of steam power, typically driving a propeller or paddlewheel. Small and large steamboats and riverboats worked on lakes and rivers. Steamships gradually replaced sailing ships for commercial shipping through the 19th century. From on, steamships increased significantly in speed and size. Ironclads are steam-propelled warships of the later 19th century, protected by iron or steel armor plates.

The first ironclad battleship, Gloire , was launched by the French Navy in ; [67] she prompted the British Royal Navy to start building ironclads. After the first clashes of ironclads took place during the American Civil War , it became clear that the ironclad had replaced the unarmored line-of-battle ship as the most powerful warship afloat.

In , the American passenger steamer Columbia became the first ship to utilize the dynamo and incandescent light bulb. Furthermore, Columbia was the first structure besides Thomas Edison 's laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey to use the incandescent light bulb.

Success at sea was vital for the Greeks. If they failed to counter the Ottoman Navy, it would be able to resupply the isolated Ottoman garrisons and land reinforcements from the Ottoman Empire 's Asian provinces at will, crushing the rebellion. The Greeks decided to use fireships and found an effective weapon against the Ottoman vessels.

Conventional naval actions were also fought, at which naval commanders like Andreas Miaoulis , Nikolis Apostolis , Iakovos Tombazis and Antonios Kriezis distinguished themselves. The early successes of the Greek fleet in direct confrontations with the Ottomans at Patras and Spetsai gave the crews confidence, and contributed greatly to the survival and success of the uprising in the Peloponnese.

Despite victories at Samos and Gerontas , the Revolution was threatened with collapse until the intervention of the Great Powers in the Battle of Navarino in The Ottoman fleet was decisively defeated by the combined fleets of the Britain , France and the Russian Empire , effectively securing the independence of Greece. Most warships used steam propulsion until the advent of the gas turbine. Steamships were superseded by diesel-driven ships in the second half of the 20th century.

It was responsible for Confederate naval operations during the American Civil War. The two major tasks of the Confederate Navy during the whole of its existence were the protection of Southern harbors and coastlines from outside invasion, and making the war costly for the North by attacking merchant ships and breaking the Union Blockade.

He was the first rear admiral , vice admiral , and full admiral of the Navy. He is remembered in popular culture for his possibly apocryphal order at the Battle of Mobile Bay , usually paraphrased: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

He climbed to the top deck of Virginia and began furiously firing toward shore with a carbine as USS Congress was shelled. He soon was brought down by a sharpshooter 's minie ball to the thigh.

He would eventually recover from his leg wound. That honor went to Catesby ap Roger Jones. Late in the war he was promoted to admiral and also served briefly as a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army.

He commanded the fleet from to , and saw action in the struggle for Italian unification. After unification he was elected to the legislature; he became Minister of Marine in and in he was nominated a Senator.

However, his career was marred during the war with Austria when he commanded the Italian fleet at Lissa. After the defeat, he was condemned for incapacity, and discharged.

After a most remarkable voyage of over 14, miles 23, km , around Cape Horn , he joined the American fleet in Cuban waters on May 26, and on July 3 commanded his ship at the destruction of Cervera 's squadron. George Dewey was an admiral of the United States Navy, best known for his victory without the loss of a single life of his own forces due to combat; one man died of a heart attack at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish�American War.

He was also the only person in the history of the United States to have attained the rank of Admiral of the Navy , the most senior rank in the United States Navy. Garrett J. Lewis Nixon was a shipbuilding executive, naval architect , and political activist. Nixon graduated first in his class from the Naval Academy in and was sent to study naval architecture at the Royal Naval College where, again, he graduated first in the class in In , with help from assistant naval constructor David W.

Montojo was wounded during this battle, as was also one of his two sons who were participating in this battle. Most of the seven Spanish vessels sank or surrendered.

In the 20th century, the internal combustion engine and gas turbine came to replace the steam engine in most ship applications. Trans-oceanic travel, transatlantic and transpacific , was a particularly important application, with steam powered Ocean liners [73] replacing sailing ships, then culminating in the massive Superliners which included the RMS Titanic.

At the start of the war, the German Empire had cruisers scattered across the globe. Some of them were subsequently used to attack Allied merchant shipping. The British Royal Navy systematically hunted them down, though not without some embarrassment from its inability to protect allied shipping.

For example, the detached light cruiser SMS Emden , part of the East-Asia squadron stationed at Tsingtao, seized or destroyed 15 merchantmen, as well as sinking a Russian cruiser and a French destroyer.

Soon after the outbreak of hostilities, Britain initiated a Lyman Clinker Built Boats 55 naval blockade of Germany, preventing supplies from reaching its ports. The strategy proved effective, cutting off vital military and civilian supplies, although this blockade violated generally accepted international law codified by international agreements.

German U-boats attempted to cut the supply lines between North America and Britain. In the United States launched a protest over a cross-channel passenger ferry sinking, Germany modified its rules of engagement. Finally, in early Germany adopted a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare , realizing the Americans would eventually enter the war.

Germany sought to strangle Allied sea lanes before the U. The U-boat threat lessened in , when merchant ships [86] entered convoys escorted by destroyers. The accompanying destroyers might sink a submerged submarine with depth charges. The losses to submarine attacks were reduced significantly.

But the convoy system slowed the flow of supplies. The solution to the delays was a massive program to build new freighters. Various troop ships were too fast for the submarines and did not have to travel the North Atlantic in convoys. In the first four months of the war they sank more than vessels. In addition to supply ships, the U-boats occasionally attacked British and Canadian warships. In the summer of , the Soviet Union entered the war on the side of the Allies.

Although the Soviets had tremendous reserves in manpower, they had lost much of their equipment and manufacturing base in the first few weeks following the German invasion. The treacherous route around the North Cape of Norway was the site of many battles as the Germans continually tried to disrupt the convoys using U-boats, bombers, and surface ships. They were initially so successful that this became known among U-boat crews as the second happy time.

Eventually, the institution of shore blackouts and an interlocking convoy system resulted in a drop in attacks and U-boats shifted their operations back to the mid-Atlantic. The turning point of the Battle of the Atlantic took place in early as the Allies refined their naval tactics , effectively making use of new technology to counter the U-boats. The Allies produced ships faster than they were sunk, and lost fewer ships by adopting the convoy system.

Improved anti-submarine warfare meant that the life expectancy of a typical U-boat crew would be measured in months. The vastly improved Type 21 U-boat appeared as the war was ending, but too late to affect the outcome. The British fought chiefly in the Indian Ocean. It was a war of logistics, with American home bases in California and Hawaii sending supplies to Australia.

The U. Island hopping was the key strategy to bypass heavily fortified Japanese positions and instead concentrate the limited Allied resources on strategically important islands that were not well defended but capable of supporting the drive to the main islands of Japan.

This strategy was possible in part because the Allies used submarine and air attacks to blockade and isolate Japanese bases, weakening their garrisons and reducing the Japanese ability to resupply and reinforce.

Most Japanese soldiers killed in the Pacific died of starvation, and Japan used its submarine fleet to try to resupply them. Hard-fought battles on the Japanese home islands of Iwo Jima , Okinawa , and others resulted in horrific casualties on both sides, but finally produced a Japanese retreat. Faced with the loss of most of their experienced pilots, the Japanese increased their use of kamikaze tactics in an attempt to create unacceptably high casualties for the Allies.

After the turning point of the Pacific where a third of the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet was hit in the Battle of Midway , the United States Department of the Navy recommended various positions for and against an invasion of Japan in In the latter half of the 20th century, various vessels, notably aircraft carriers , nuclear submarines , and nuclear-powered icebreakers , made use of nuclear marine propulsion.

Sonar and radio augmented existing navigational technology. Various blockades were set up in international action. The Israelis set up a sea blockade of the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the Second Intifada and up to the present. The Israeli blockades of some or all the shores of Lebanon at various times during the Lebanese Civil War � , the Lebanon War , and the South Lebanon conflict � �resumed during the Lebanon War.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was seen as an event that brought the U. The event was on October the 22, during the presidency of John F. It also happened over a day period. From this situation, the country learned that nuclear power does not have a lot of influence in politics. At the time, it did not look like the United States was going to do the same. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident was an alleged pair of attacks by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam against two American warships in One night a U.

The president at this time decided that he needed to make a statement and asked congress for permission to act on this. With this resolution, president Johnson was able to release missiles on North Vietnamese torpedo boats and oil storage facilities. This was said to be a very desperate war between Britain and Argentina. Britain was initially taken by surprise when the Argentine attack on the South Atlantic islands happened, but launched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force , and retake the islands by amphibious assault.

Argentina ended up losing the war. It was effective at noon on December 31, Before this handover, the government of Panama held an international bid to negotiate a year contract for operation of the Canal's container shipping ports chiefly two facilities at the Atlantic and Pacific outlets , which was won by the Chinese firm Hutchison Whampoa , a Hong Kong -based shipping concern whose owner Li Ka Shing is the wealthiest man in Asia.

One of the conditions on the handover to the Panama Canal Authority by the United States was the permanent neutrality of the Canal and the explicit statements that allowed the United States to come back at any time.

Since the turn of the millennium, the construction of stealth ships have occurred. These are ships which employs stealth technology construction techniques in an effort to ensure that it is harder to detect by one or more of radar , visual, sonar , and infrared methods.

These techniques borrow from stealth aircraft technology, although some aspects such as wake reduction are unique to stealth ships' design. Some of the major social changes of this period include women becoming admirals in defensive navies, being allowed to work on submarines, and being appointed captains of cruise ships.

As of March , global superpowers are currently in competition of laying claim to both regions of the Arctic Circle and shipping routes that lead directly into the Pacific and Atlantic oceans from the North Pole. Extensive access to the sea routes of the North Pole would allow, for example, save thousands of kilometers in distance from Europe to China.

Modern pirates favor small boats and taking advantage of the small number of crew members on modern cargo vessels. Modern pirates can be successful because a large amount of international commerce occurs via shipping. Major shipping routes take cargo ships through narrow bodies of water such as the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Malacca making them vulnerable to be overtaken and boarded by small motorboats.

As usage increases, many of these ships have to lower cruising speeds to allow for navigation and traffic control, making them prime targets for piracy. Their records indicate hostage-taking overwhelmingly dominates the types of violence against seafarers. For example, in , there were attacks, 77 crew members were kidnapped and taken hostage but only 15 of the pirate attacks resulted in murder. Crew members that were injured numbered 64 compared to just 17 in From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It was also divided into three tops , bands of crew responsible for setting sails on the three masts; a band of sheet-anchor men , whose station was forward and whose job was to tend the fore-yard, anchors and forward sails; the after guard , who were stationed aft and tended the mainsail, spanker and man the various sheets, controlling the position of the sails; the waisters , who were stationed midships and had menial duties attending the livestock, etc.

He additionally named such positions as, boatswains, gunners, carpenters, coopers, painters, tinkers, stewards, cooks and various boys as functions on the man-of-war. Handling a sailing ship requires management of its sails to power�but not overpower�the ship and navigation to guide the ship, both at sea and in and out of harbors. Key elements of sailing a ship are setting the right amount of sail to generate maximum power without endangering the ship, adjusting the sails to the wind direction on the course sailed, and changing tack to bring the wind from one side of the vessel to the other.

A sailing ship crew manages the running rigging of each square sail. Each sail has two sheets that control its lower corners, two braces that control the angle of the yard, two clewlines, four buntlines and two reef tackles. All these lines must be manned as the sail is deployed and the yard raised. They use a halyard to raise each yard and its sail; then they pull or ease the braces to set the angle of the yard across the vessel; they pull on sheets to haul lower corners of the sail, clews , out to yard below.

Under way, the crew manages reef tackles , haul leeches , reef points , to manage the size and angle of the sail; bowlines pull the leading edge of the sail leech taut when close hauled.

When furling the sail, the crew uses clewlines , haul up the clews and buntlines to haul up the middle of sail up; when lowered, lifts support each yard. In strong winds, the crew is directed to reduce the number of sails or, alternatively, the amount of each given sail that is presented to the wind by a process called reefing.

To pull the sail up, seamen on the yardarm pull on reef tackles , attached to reef cringles , to pull the sail up and secure it with lines, called reef points. Sailing vessels cannot sail directly into the wind. When tacking, a square-rigged vessel's sails must be presented squarely to the wind and thus impede forward motion as they are swung around via the yardarms through the wind as controlled by the vessel's running rigging , using braces �adjusting the fore and aft angle of each yardarm around the mast�and sheets attached to the clews bottom corners of each sail to control the sail's angle to the wind.

Once the ship has come about, all the sails are adjusted to align properly with the new tack. Because square-rigger masts are more strongly braced from behind than from ahead, tacking is a dangerous procedure in strong winds; the ship may lose forward momentum become caught in stays and the rigging may fail from the wind coming from ahead. A fore-and-aft rig permits the wind to flow past the sail, as the craft head through the eye of the wind.

Most rigs pivot around a stay or the mast, while this occurs. For a jib , the old leeward sheet is released as the craft heads through the wind and the old windward sheet is tightened as the new leeward sheet to allow the sail to draw wind. Mainsails are often self-tending and slide on a traveler to the opposite side. Early navigational techniques employed observations of the sun, stars, waves and birdlife. In the 15th century, the Chinese were using the magnetic compass to identify direction of travel.

By the 16th century in Europe, navigational instruments included the quadrant , the astrolabe , cross staff , dividers and compass. By the time of the Age of Exploration these tools were being used in combination with a log to measure speed, a lead line to measure soundings , and a lookout to identify potential hazards.

Later, an accurate marine sextant became standard for determining latitude and an accurate chronometer became standard for determining longitude. Passage planning begins with laying out a route along a chart, which comprises a series of courses between fixes�verifiable locations that confirm the actual track of the ship on the ocean. Once a course has been set, the person at the helm attempts to follow its direction with reference to the compass.

The navigator notes the time and speed at each fix to estimate the arrival at the next fix, a process called dead reckoning. For coast-wise navigation, sightings from known landmarks or navigational aids may be used to establish fixes, a process called pilotage.

Fixes were taken with a marine sextant , which measures the distance of the celestial body above the horizon. Given the limited maneuverability of sailing ships, it could be difficult to enter and leave harbor with the presence of a tide without coordinating arrivals with a flooding tide and departures with an ebbing tide.

In harbor, a sailing ship stood at anchor, unless it needed to be loaded or unloaded at a dock or pier, in which case it had to be towed to shore by its boats or by other vessels.
