Semiahmoo History

The first settlers descended on the land that was to become Dennis and Dennis Port in 1639. As a matter of background, the land that is now Dennis was selected not for its proximity to the ocean, but for its abundance of fresh water ponds and springs. It is estimated

Located to the northwest of Holyhead on South Stack Island, this lighthouse is best known for its picturesque setting - and also for being one of the most haunted locations in the United Kingdom. Locals and visitors alike have reported countless ghost sightings of former keeper Jack Jones, a man who was injured and killed during a massive storm in 1853 that destroyed two hundred ships along the coast, including the famous vessel Royal Charter. South Stack Lighthouse first opened in 1809 and is considered an architectural marvel. It is not a simple venture, after all, to build a tower on the rock below steep cliffs, especially when the area is surrounded by such rough seas. The structure originally used twenty-one oil lamps but is fully automated today. It is now considered a historic

In January of 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill, which is now in present-day California. From 1848-1849, 300,000 people rushed to California in search of gold. These gold-seekers, nicknamed “Forty-Niners”, came from all over the world. Most of the Forty-Niners came from the rest of America, but some even came from Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Asia. Because of the huge gold rush, roads, churches, schools, canals, cities, and towns were established in the California area. This new economic explosion influenced California to become a state in the Union.

The region was first occupied by squatters during the late 1830s and 1840s, and was largely settled by 1847. By 1850, several villages were established, there were good seasons and high wool prices .... 14

Mendocino has been known for its beautiful coastline and the huge redwood trees. But not only are they both beautiful attractions they both have their own history that impacted Mendocino to make it is where it is today. Mendocino used to be a huge redwood logging town. The loggers would cut down the redwoods and then put them in the rivers so they would float down to the ocean where the trees would be put into boats and then sailed off to San Francisco where they were building a whole new city because of the gold rush. Because Mendocino was right along the ocean it was easy to trade because it was easy for the ships to come in. It also helped with the logging and how they loaded them onto the boats.

In the1850’s railroads came to Munsee town and trade boomed. In 1854 Munsee was renamed as the Muncie we know today and in 1865 officially became a city. V. Indiana’s gas boom took place in 1880 and the manufacturing age of Muncie began. A.

Many cities are known for their downtown area and their harbors that are along the different waterways. Baltimore Maryland is a well-known area when it comes to its downtown harbor. Each year the downtown area attracts thousands of tourists and celebrities. Its most popular time of the year is during the late spring and summer. Many tourists like to come and enjoy the harbor and the seafood that the city is well known for. Although the city experiences some pretty harsh winters, the summer is a totally different story. The city of Baltimore was founded in July of 1729, and was named after Lord Baltimore. In 1814 the colonist won the battle of Baltimore which forced the state of Maryland to become part of the union, but kept slavery legal. In 1861 union troops started a war which lasted until 1865. In February of 1904 the city experienced the great fire of Baltimore

that she did, but these gaps seem to represent the gap in the history of Zong and its slave cargo. There are many unknown factors which cannot be found within the pages of the Gregson vs Gilbert documents, or found through archaic evidence. It is uncertain, for instance, where exactly the ship was located when the slaves were thrown overboard, and the names of the slaves whose lives were lost during the incident. Philip clarifies this in her interview with Patricia Saunders when she states, “There is no marker. We don’t have the bones. We don’t have the Tombstones” (Saunders). The cargo ships were required to keep a log with names of the slaves onboard, as well as a detailed chart of the locations throughout the journey, but this log was never

Butlers Flat is a lighthouse located in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It made of brick and cast iron, stands at 53 feet tall and was built in 1898 to replace the former lighthouse, Clark’s Point Light. Butlers Flat is currently about 119 years old. Curiously, even though it was built 1898, it wasn’t lit until 1942, 44 years after it was constructed. The lighthouse was operated by Captain Amos Baker Jr. and his son, Charles until 1911, when Amos Baker died. The lighthouse was operated by Charles Baker until his retirement in 1941.Volunteers help to keep the historic lighthouse in working order, and it is still a navigational aid.“An iron cylinder 35 feet in diameter was put into place after five feet of mud was dredged. The cylinder was filled

When I close my eyes and imagine, I can still clearly hear the gentle splash of the waves lapping the shoreline, and feel the slight ocean breeze whizz through my hair, sending it flying in every direction. During the frigid and dreary months of Missouri’s winter, there is one place in particular that my heart longs to be. Marco Island, Florida. When most people think of a luxurious vacation, they imagine crystal clear water, snowy white sands, and a miraculous five star hotel. Marco Island is no Bora Bora, but to me it’s the most enchanting small town that values simplicity and offers pure bliss to anyone coming to visit.

The beautiful city as we know it wasn’t actually a city for a long time. The area was found by Joseph Ellicott in 1801; who at the time was an agent for the Holland Land company. Josephs new land became a

I visited my place Paradise Point Resort and Spa for the second time. I continued to record my observations and my encounters. I then began to contemplate the history and timeline of how Paradise Point came about.

Set amidst 10 acres of land with unparalleled views of the Goa shoreline, the hotel is upscale and luxurious; yet maintain a fine balance with nature. One of the most unique features of the hotel is the white sand beaches running right up to the rooms.

The albergo diffuso allows travellers to learn, discover and immerse themselves in the entire experience of the culture, people and settings of the places they visit, but with the advantage of having the basic services of a hotel. This authentic lodging is an ideal alternative for independent travellers, who prefer to go off the beaten tracks and be free to explore. Guests can enjoy the real town's life: interact with local people rather than only with other tourists, watch and participate in their daily routine, dine in local cafes (Fortney-Schneider, 2011). As one guest wrote in an email message, “We loved living next door to locals with their dogs and their washing lines. Scenes from life!”(Williams, 2010)
