Alaska

When the Trans Alaska Pipeline was constructed it was illegal to ship any of the oil from Alaska to other countries. Then during the Clinton Administration when oil was $8 a barrel, that law was changed. For 2 years Alyeska Pipeline Terminal shipped to Japan and South Korea a total of 5 times. They decided that this was not cost effective and now they no longer ship there. This was years ago. Now all the oil goes to refineries in Washington State, California and Hawaii. It provides most of the fuel in the Northwestern States. None of it leaves the country.

I have this information because I live in Valdez, Alaska. Where the end of the Trans Alaska Pipeline is located and the oil is shipped from. I receive my information from locals including family members who work at the Alyeska Pipeline Terminal (some of who are managers).

I'd say the first person to explore Alaska was Captain Cook. Of course, there have been travelers between the Alaskan coast and Russia for ages, so naturally some earlier exploration occurred, but Captain Cook's is the first that is well documented and with a true goal of exploration.

There were 250 Alaskan Crab Boats at one time and today the fleet is down to about 80. So there are a few still on the market that may be available with a price tag of from $190,000 to $350,000. The pricing can widely vary depending on date of construction, type of construction, Pot and storage capacity, Radar, Sonar, Navigation and other installed Electronics, Coast Guard Certifications, and miscellaneous upgrades. Quoted prices would not include state and federal licenses required to go crabbing and the cost of fueling up such a craft. For a new vessel tricked out and ready for sea no less than $500,000 and at the top end, 1.5M USD.

There are no direct flights between Ireland and Alaska. You would probably fly from Alaska to one of the cities on the east coast of the USA that has flights to Ireland, like New York or Boston, and from there fly to Ireland. The total time would depend on what airports you chose and the gap between connecting flights.
