He meet the L'Nabi (meaning original people) better known as Aubannaki [Wabanaki] Aboriginal Nation of Muurs...........Sons of liberty is Sons of St. Tamanend but the also taught the colonist the republic form of government which the Constitution is a republic form of government.Choctaw was a lower nations of Muurs called Shabtau.....Choctaw - There are rambling hunting parties of them to be met with all. They are at war with the Caldougies and liked by neither the Red nor the White People. April 5th 1805 Lewis and Clarks expiditon.

If you mean Captain Cook's ship the HMS Endeavour, I looked it up for you. The Endeavor was 106ft (32m) in length.

Ancient mariners used tools called an astrolabe, a sextant, and a quadrant. These instruments were used in conjunction with celestial bodies, sunrises and sunsets.

The Franco-Spanish fleet was under the command of Pierre de Villeneuve.

The battle of Aboukir Bay. Nelson destroys the French fleet. Napoleon returns to France leaving his army behind. The battle is called the Battle of the Nile.

Confederate Officers in command of US Naval Vessels of every type, sailed them into Union held ports and returned them to the Federal government before heading South to take up their new posts in the Confederate States Navy (CSN). This was done to prove that they were Men of Honor and were starting the Civil War with Clean Hands. The CSN began with a qualified Naval Force of 16 Captains, 34 Commanders 76 Lieutenants and 111 Midshipmen and zero ships of the line compared to the United States Navy (USN) which had 23 Ships of the Line when the war began. One vessel, the CSN Crapo was placed into service within a few months by outfitting a Merchant Ship as a Naval Vessel. Almost anything that would float at the beginning of the war was pressed into service as a Merchant Raider. They created a miracle of modern sea power out of the ruins of the captured Norfolk Naval Shipyard although the Union had burned it all to the water-line before it abandoned it.

Good Morning,

I have checked the book & can't find an entry for Norman Thomson. The book in question was printed by a company called Lamb which were based in Perth, Australia & there is a foreword in the book by Capt. P.V. McLaughlin, RN dated July 1946. I also have another book about HMS Swiftsure 'Crossing the Line ceremony', December 1944, not sure he would be mentioned in there. A photograph was taken of the whole crew when the ship was in Hong Kong, which I have, he could be on it, as my Grandfather is.

HMS = Her/His Majesty's Ship.

Used by the British Royal Navy for longer tittles as "His/Her Mayesty's Ship", abbreviated H.M.S. and then HMS.

A badchen (plural: badchonim) (meaning "joker" or "clown") traditionally entertains before and after Ashkenazic Jewish weddings. They are generally learned men comparable to a maggid or sermonizer. Currently they are only common in the Hasidic world.

The Iowa Class battleships had three main battery gun turrets, each with three guns. Two were forward and one aft. Turret Number Two, forward, was superimposed over the top of Number One. All propellant and projectiles were kept within the gun structure, which was actually five levels tall, all within a special round citadel armored with 15-inch thick special treatment steel, called a barbette. Turrets Number one and Three had a capacity to store 200 projectiles, plus propellant to fire them. Turret number two was one level taller and could store 240.

Battleships were built to combat enemy battleships. For that purpose the guns fired armor-piercing shells, which weighed 2700 pounds each. The guns could also fire "high-capacity" (high explosive) bombardment shells, which weighed 1900 pounds each. When they were designed though it was contemplated that their main purpose and use would be to fight enemy ships, so they were designed to carry enough propellant to fire a full load of the heavier armor-piercing shells. It took 330 pounds of propellant to fire the lighter "high-capacity" shell and 660 pounds to fire the heavier armor piercing shell. Thus propellant storage was 66 tons each for Turrets One and Three and 79.2 tons for Turret Two, or a total of 211.2 tons. The propellant was stored on the lowest level of the five story gun structure and raised to the gun house by an elevator.

For each type of shell six silk bags of propellant were used - 55 pound bags for the high-capacity shells, 110 pound bags for the armor piercing. The propellant was not actually powder, but nitro-cellulose, formed in round "grains" the thickness of a pencil, one and a quarter inches long, perforated with holes. For 55 pound bags these were dumped in the silk bag, for 110 pound bags they were stacked. Silk was used to insure complete combustion of the bag, to prevent flaming fragments from igniting the charge of the next shell when the gun was reloaded.

This main battery arrangement was identical on all the ten "fast battleships" the US built just before and during WWII. These were the last battleships the US ever built, and included the North Carolina Class and the South Dakota Class, in addition to the Iowas. The only difference was the barrels of the Iowas guns were eight feet longer, giving them a slightly longer range. The six built before the Iowas, with shorter barrels, had a steeper "plunging trajectory" though, which was more useful for smashing through the armored decks of enemy battleships.

The battleships also carried thousands of rounds for the secondary battery, which was twenty five inch guns, ten to a side, housed two each in five turrets on each side. It took seventy pounds of propellant to fire a shell from these guns. This propellant was stored in separate magazines.

In the 15th and 16th centuries.

Havana Harbor. It was raised and re-sunk again in deeper water in 1911.

White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard. constuction began in 1907 and ended in 1912.(this inclueds the construstion of the hull, the "Fitting Out", Sea trails and final preperations) answer 2 Titanic [yard number 401] was laid down: 31st March 1909.

um with grey u can put grey leggings or skinny jeans with navy u can do black leggings or black pants

The father of Francisco Pizarro was Gonzalo Pizarro Rodríguez de Aguilar.

Your Country's Navy is the best in the World.But by sheer numbers power-projection and Sailors.The biggest Navy is the USN bigger than the next 13 largest combined.

There was no ship called Britannic Titanic; there was a White Star Line ship named Britannic. Of the two (Britannic and Titanic), the Britannic was larger.

The caravel was made smaller and with a shallow keel to take advantage of the wind. Like other ships of the time, it was made of wood.

Yes there were plenty of questions. But the way of technology now they are being answered.Thankfully for the remaining members of those families. Many Familie members were lost. Many thought that it was a drill.

19th century sailors used a sextant, compass, telescope, Galileo glass, maps and a stormglass. A sextant was used to calculate where the ship was, by using the stars, sun and moon. The Galileo glass was used for measuring temperature and the bubbles went up and down accordingly. A stormglass had a mixture of water and crystals that went murky well before you could see the storm in your way.

As time and inventions moved forward in the 19th century, sailors found themselves on steam driven ships. They needed to know how to operate these engines.

Viking longships, starting in the 700s AD, had a mast with a sail. To make a boat with a sail stable, a keel is needed to counteract the tipping forces the wind places on the sail. Prior to the sail being added, longships did not require or have keels.

They were port cities and shipping was available to use. Shipping and naval products as well as ship building was an important industry.

whatever you want it to be:( The largest Viking longboats for which any archeological records exist is about 98 feet. The problems involved with combining shallow draught and length using wooden timbers becomes an engineering nightmare. Replica vessels using modern material and tools routinely break apart in moderate seas. (See the Ormen Friske). Most longboats are of the Snekke class using 12 pair of oarsmen, a length of 56 feet and a draught of only 18 inches.
