History of Maritime

I'm not 100% sure, I've just heard the song for the first time and got curious. The name Valinor is a Lord of the Rings reference. It is to the west of Middle Earth. In LOTR, the shipwright's name at the Gray Havens was Cirdan, however. At some point Cirdan taught a man named Aldarion about shipbuilding, but that's the closest that I've found so far! I'll keep listening and see if I can figure it out!

A dangerous South American headland around which whaling ships of the 1880s dreaded sailing was Cape Horn.

I forget its name but a castle holding a key position in the Franco-Prussian war was surrendered to the Germans despite being incredibly well supllied, manned and armed, because nobody had ordered it to resist, or even warned it of the nearby enemy -allowing it to be captured by a handful of Prussians surprising the French at breakfast.

In 1881 the Servia, a merchant steamer capable of crossing the Atlantic in 7 days, was the first vessel to be constructed of steel.

In 1858 the "Ma Roberts" was built by John Laird for Dr David Livingstons Zambezi expedition

it depends on the designator. from what i know, Intel and pilot are the hardest to get, while surface warfare and supply are a bit easier. if you've got decent qualifications you should be ok (i.e. college degree with decent GPA)

== == North American Aboriginals were adept at using boats, such as canoes to move on the water, so I don't think that they were that impressed with the European ships. They would have been very amazed to see the white men themselves, and their advanced use of tools and metal items. The Aboriginals were much more capable of living from the land than the Europeans were, and in fact the Aboriginals had to show the Europeans how to find food and how to dress for the winter cold. Without their help the first groups of Europeans would have died off due to starvation and lack of vitamins in their diet.

The crew that were caught inside the ship, when it capsized, no longer have any hope of being retrieved alive. On Monday 29th, three dead crewmembers were brought out of the ship and placed onboard P559 HDMS Lommen. They were later on, brought ashore. Fortunately, some of the crew had been rescued, but many of the crew drowned.

I believe it was Southampton. I was an immigrant on my way to Canada in 1956. I left Southampton at that time. I recall leaving Paddington railway station aboard the special train for us immigrants. There was a band on the platform playing songs such as "Now is the hour" I was 17 years old.
