Chapter 4: Review of Archaeological Literature The history of the Redemptora as a shipwreck starts at an unknown date. Until now, little had been found about its abandonment, reflecting a common practice of disposing of vessels without fanfare. However, in the museum files (WA Maritime Museum file MA File No: 10/78-1) a very interesting article in the U.E.C (Underwater Explorers’ Club) News of October 1962 was unveiled, signed by the ‘Beach Master’. It reports on page six that the author had met one Mr. Fred Sweetman 81, skipper of the Lady Forest and ex-employee of the Harbour & Lights Department, who told him that ‘he remembered the old ship being used as a coal hulk in Careening bay them towed over to Clarence (Naval Base) and burnt’. Unfortunately,…
You have someone carving a stick, another starting a fire, another building a fort out of sticks. That night everyone went to bed around five o'clock for two reasons, one to catch up on our sleep and that we've learned our lesson of not staying up extremely late and getting up really early. More days past and with more and more classes and not showering for multiple days on end. Until it came to Thursday, today we were going small boat sailing, we have the first aid and all that, and then we…
John Williams Written out Speech for class Today I am going to teach you how to be a Pirate. Kind of… I am going to teach you something that all pirates would have known. What is Tacking, and how does it apply to sailing? And no, it is not what the RA’s gave me during room checks the other day. (At This point I will reference the slide that I have on the board. RB means I will be referencing the board during this time) If there is one thing about sailing that you should know, it is you cannot…
It was a hot, sunny Thursday at Camp V-Bar; “the hottest camp going”. I had just finished teaching my favorite class; fourth period paddle boarding. I was playing a game of sharf with the rest of the Aquatics Staff under the rain fly. After a vigorous game of sharf, which I won, I was off to my next class. It was my fifth period small boat sailing class; a class I did not enjoy. I was not too thrilled about teaching sailing because the people you would teach would have to be engaged during…
He knew she wanted to test the sailboat out on the waters, although he didn't think it was the best idea, he radioed her from his boat telling her the directions she needed to go while sailing through the awful storm. While out on the waters during the storm, the clouds were dark like they would be any storm. With this in mind the audience can take in that possibly the storm meant this would be another rough spot in life for a character in this film. The next day, Charlie found Tess sleeping…
Being a lifelong sailor comes with perks. I have a sixth sense attuned to the sea and wind. It is a wonderful thing to be able to point out North, South, East, and West without the slightest aid. I can always sense where the ocean is when it is out of sight (and will usually be found staring in that direction when I am bored). I can identify and differentiate wind and current lines on the water with only a glance. When I mention that I am a sailor to my friends, their minds usually conjure…
If you were a teen, would you go boating by yourself? Boating is “rowing or sailing in boats as a sport or form of recreation” according to google dictionary. The article “Boating Starts Early for Many South Florida Water Kids” indicates that many children start boating when they’re little. “Parents of Rescued Teenage Sailor Abby Sunderland Accused of Risking Her Life” by Paul Harris and “Families Call Off Search for Missing Florida Teens” by CBS News are the two main articles that will be used…
Michigan. After I scope out the frigid windy lake, I walk down the bluff to begin my journey of learning to sail alone. As I touch the sand for the first time that day, it felt like I was pushing against a hot iron. As my dad and I make our way to the boat, my dad comes across the question, "Today looks like a nice day for you to try sailing alone, do you want too?". So many thoughts begin to run through my head like I have to answer a question for a million dollars. Knowing my dad, who is short…
When we where there we got ice cream and swam, then headed back to Boyne City. The sailing camp had a banquette at the end. It was at the state park. They had hamburgers and hot dogs with many sides available. They also provided many desserts for everyone to have. It was amazing and even better it was at the beach, so once we ate then we could go swimming with all the friends we made during the two weeks. During the banquette Gram and his friends came up to us and shared a few things I would…
An exception to the exclusive jurisdiction of the flag state over a vessel in the high seas is the right of hot pursuit (Kapoor, 2008: p. 145). The right of hot pursuit of a foreign vessel is a principle designed to ensure that a vessel which has infringed the rules of a coastal state cannot escape punishment by fleeing to the high seas. In reality it means that in certain defined circumstances a coastal state may extend its jurisdiction onto the high seas in order to pursue and seize a ship…
