History of Maritime

The Liberty Ship was an "emergency" type Cargo Ship built in the US at any of 17 different shipyards between 1939 and 1945. They were built cheap and they were built fast. Each of the over 2,700 constructed was 441 feet long and 56 feet wide. They could make about 11 knots on their three cylinder steam engines and each cost about 2 million dollars. The SS Robert E. Peary required only four and a half days to build, but most were under construction for about two months. They could carry 9,000 tons of cargo each. The Master and 42 men made up the crew, but they also carried a Naval Armed Guard consisting of an Ensign and about 20 sailors.

Did you mean the USS Arizona (BB-39) when it was sunk during the Japanese attack upon Pearl Harbor - if so , the last Commander was Franklin Van Valkenburgh who died during the attack .

the same reason an apple falls from a tree.... gravity!!!

Ships are vessels constructed in such a fashion that they float atop water (by "displacement"); should the vessel's watertight integrity be compromised, and water thereby enter the hull, the weight of this water, no longer being displaced by the ship, will eventually overcome the forces of displacement, and the ship will sink under the weight of this water due to the force of gravity.

Because the ship loses positive buoyancy, or the ability to float, and is pulled down underwater by gravity.

He landed at the tip africa. It is know known as The Cape of Good Hope

* Parity of Naval Fleets between UK and US. * Parity of Naval Fleets between France and Italy. * Japan's Fleet would be midway between the two sets. * Fuel and Boiler water would not be computed in tonnage. * No gun larger than five inch on aircraft carriers. * No gun larger than sixteen inch allowed.

The first explorer of his time to actually set foot in Asia (lol those exact words were a question i had for homework) was Ferdinand Magellan. Giovanni Caboto claimed to have reached Asia but, he was really among the banks of Newfoundland. So yeah Magellan

After the Lusitania was sunk on May 7,1915 President Wilson sent four diplomatic protests to Germany. The Secretary of State, William Bryan Jennings, believed that the president was using the crisis as an excuse to enter the war.

Genevieve Sullivan lived past her 70's in Central California owning a large estate and turkey ranch near the Producers Dairy Farm.

He is Italian but when he asked the king and Queen of Italy they said no. so he went to Spain to ask king Fernando and Queen Isabella. At first they said no but then they won the Reqonquista against the moors which lasted 800 years then the wanted more land to conquer this was there opportunity

At home in Portugal, Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] would have dined on the the best foods to which he was entitled through his noble rank, and his job in the royal court. He would have eaten the best of breads; the finest of spicedand sugared deserts and dried sweet fruitssuch as apricots; and the tenderest of fish and meatdishes. A favorite dessert might have been rice pudding seasoned with cinnamon. Favorite fruits might have been the grapes that had been in Portugal since Roman times, and the lemons and oranges that had been around since the Moorish beginnings in the Iberian Peninsula. Special treats might have been the almonds and figs that the Moors had left firmly established in Iberia. On an expedition, Dias likewise would have eaten the best of the supply ship's fare. Fresh water would have been stored in barrels. But not too far into his southward voyages, Dias and his crew would have relied more on wine and less on water to drink. For the rising temperatures around the Equator quickly would have encouraged the growth of algae and bacteria. The water supply would have looked, smelled and tasted bad. Food on the expedition would have included bread, dried fruits, and preserved and salted fish and meats such as beef and pork.

The longest boat in the world in the Knock Nevis which is 458 metres long.

Bartolomeu Dias is most famous for being the first European to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in 1487, and was lost at sea on May 29,1488 on his way back to Lisbon Portugal. Hope this helps! =)

It would be most difficult to determine which explorer discovered the most land. However, Christopher Columbus discovered lands in Central America which is connected to both North and South America. So, it could be said that he "discovered" two continents that were previously unknown.

Other countries have similar abbreviations. While studying the American Civil War there are many CSS- Confederate States Ship. HMS stands for Her/His Majesty's Ship, referring to the Queen of England (or King if there is one).
