The second crew included Horace Hunley and Charles Sprague. On October 15th, 1863 the crew set out for some test runs around a friendly ship, the Indian Chief. The first test run was successful, but on the second one something immediately looked wrong. As soon as the Hunley sank, air bubbles arose. This time there were no survivors. Less than two months after sinking, the Hunley had gone down again.

The crew consisted of the injured captain, a cook, Billie the oiler and Crane the correspondent. Sadly not all the crewmembers survive these excruciating hours in the sea with no food, warmth, and only a jug of water. It was shocking to hear that Billie does not make it ashore, especially after working so hard to get them there. Billie would take turns with the correspondent rowing the boat with very little sleep “They sat together in the same seat, and each rowed an oar. Then the oiler

Is it possible for children and young adults to live in a lifestyle that is formulated upon the idea of libertine rather than structured liberty? “The Parable of the Ship”, found in The Republic, by Plato and written at around 380 BC, is a perfect example to show how in a situation with no control, wise decisions are not predictable. In a situation in which too much power is granted to those who do not know how to manage it, utter chaos and disorder may be the product. In the same way, when school districts and or universities grant too much power and authority to the attending students, rather than to the teachers or instructors, the students may feel entitled to more rights and benefits than what they should receive. If the people that are

were lacking equipment. When the ship sunk, they all gathered up on the emergency boat and

When Roger Woodward was 7 years old he went on a boat for the first time in his  life. His family was celebrating his 17 year old sister’s birthday with a tour of niagara falls by boat. Rogers mother’s one condition about this trip was that he wore a life jacket because roger did not know how to swim. In not long roger would be falling down the falls. The day was perfect for boating it was warm and  the waters were calm. The owner of the boat jim honeycutt let roger steer the boat. They were heading toward sandbar and on the way there the mortar of the boat hit a rock. Honeycutt cut the engine after hitting the rock. They were drifting toward the falls. For some reason Honeycutt had no anchor so he was trying to paddle the other way but the

Queen Elizabeth I was born to King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn on September 7, 1533. The King’s termination of his marriage to Katharine of Aragon, made the birth of Elizabeth illegal. Kraus, D. 2011 Pg. 7 Elizabeth’s early years were full of conflict as the King worked to have Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth known, which meant that he had to strip his daughter Mary, by his Catholic wife Katharine, of her label as princess. Vanhoutte, J. 2007, Pg.4

In October 1991, on the Grand Banks off the coast of Nova Scotia, the 72-foot swordfish boat Andrea Gail turns west to begin its journey home to Gloucester, Massachusetts. It's been a successful run and the Gail's hold is full of fish, but disturbing news over the radio puts captain Billy Tyne on alert. Storms are approaching and with a full hold the Andrea Gail sits low in the water. What transpires

Hardin’s lifeboat analogy proposes an interesting situation. If a lifeboat with 50 people on board and a capacity of 60 floated past 100 other people in the water, who would we take, if anyone? If we tried to take everyone, the boat would capsize and everyone would either become stranded or die. It would lead to “complete justice, complete catastrophe” (Hardin 1). If we took no one, we would constantly have to stave off desperate people climbing on board and those who claim entitlement. If we decide to push our lifeboat to its limits, and add 10 more people, how would we choose who to take? What I gather from this is that there’s no truly correct solution. If we take everyone, we all die. If we take no one, we get shamed and blamed for leaving others behind. If we take a select few, we get called out as biased by those who weren’t selected.

A biography is defined as a written account of another person 's life. The key word in the definition being another person’s life. Biographies are full of great information that can often times make history fun and exciting. Historical phenomenon is often portrayed through biographies allowing us to see how society has developed over time and how the past and present may be similar. Although biographies are full of information often times it is impossible to prove them to be true because they aren’t written by the person themselves. Linda Colley’s The ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh is a great example of an exciting biography that allows us to learn about British Imperial Rule through someone else’s eyes.
