The guarantee of work, an excellent benefit that offers to employees and the quality of training program at the Seafarers Harry Lundeberg School of Seamanship are the reasons why I want to be a Merchant Mariner. A Merchant Mariner career provide an established job and the outstanding of income to the seamen moreover, it also offers a great benefit to cover their family. With the prospect of jobs demand a merchant mariner has opportunities for growth in the marine jobs and it has high level demand to serve the maritime shipping industry, particularly in the private sector like a cruise ship and cargo industry that operate around the world. These private sector depend on the Merchant Mariners to perform preventative maintenance on equipment and delivery cargo on time. Base on the world consumer and the US economy depend on cargo ship and Cruise ships to support gross domestic product.

The short story The Boat by Alistair MacLeod is narrated by a man who comes from a fishing family. His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked by the sea to support his family. The parents’ characters seem to clash in many aspect of their lives and this is very evident in the passage.

Would you sacrifice your life and happiness for someone else to give them a life of perfection? Alistair Macleod; raised in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, known as the protagonist and author of The Boat began to realize that his happiness isn't the only thing that matters. He told his father that he will stay by his side as long as he lived. Then he was suddenly gone. Alistair had no idea whether his father left because the sea wasn’t the right life for Alistair, or for himself. In The Boat Macleod conveys the idea that sacrificing happiness for another can ultimately lead to internal and external destruction through the use of irony, the protagonist's journey, and symbolism.

Example of weaknesses that Carnival Corporation & plc has is their safety record. In early 2012, the Costa Concordia struck off the coast of Isola del Giglio, Italy. In 2013, Carnival Cruise Line’s Triumph reported a fire, which left the ship adrift in the Gulf of Mexico (Carnival Corporation & plc SWOT Analysis, 2016). Among the other cruises, Carnival Cruise Lines have notably been the worse. In 2009, the Center for Disease Control tracked all major outbreaks, about 56% on Carnival cruise lines compared to a 48% average market share from 2009-2011. The company is also accounted for worse safety record for persons lost at sea. Since 2000, about 179 disappearances happened with Carnival Cruise Line alone (Levin , B., Jones, J., & Slade, T., 2012).

2. Suppose a customer buys an iPhone from Apple for $500 on January 1, 2010. The cost of the iPhone to Apple is $350. Assume that the customer is entitled to upgrades over the next two years. Use the following financial statement effects template (FSET) to illustrate the financial statement impacts for Apple of the customer's iPhone purchase on the date of the initial purchase and at the end of each of the two years following the initial purchase under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The setting of Alistair Macleod’s short story, The Boat, complements the setting of Alden Nowlan’s poem, Warren Pryor.  Each of these writing pieces contain the element of a smaller town with a tight knit community.  In the short story The Boat, our community is a Nova Scotian community whose primary industry is fishing.  This results in most of the members of the community partaking in the fishing lifestyle.  Another influential location this writing piece takes place in is inside of the house, “which was one of about fifty that marched around the horseshoe of [his] harbour,” (Macleod 263).  Most of the homes in this town are situated close to the water as it is there where most of the men work as fishermen.  Inside the house was his father's room where “magazines and books covered the bureau,” (Macleod 265).  It was in their father’s room where the children discover their love of reading and become more dedicated to their schooling.  Both the short story and the poem contain the setting of a school, which is symbolic as it is their education that allows the characters to be free of their obligations and the way of their town.  Finally, the setting takes place on the Jenny Lynn, “she was what Nova Scotians called a Cape Island boat and was designed for the small inshore fishermen,” (Macleod 262) and it is on this boat where the father and son make their final journey out to sea.  Likewise, the poem Warren Pryor takes place in another resource based community, however, this

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

The 85 who stayed with the train died when the storm surge overran the tops of the cars. The dead bodies were so plentiful that entombing all of them was impossible. The dead were originally weighted down on barges and dumped at sea, but when the gulf currents washed a lot of the bodies back onto the beach, a new resolution was needed. Funeral pyres were set up on the beaches, or wherever dead bodies were found, and burned day and night for numerous weeks after the storm. The authorities passed out free whiskey to withstand the distressed men conscripted for the horrible work of collecting and burning the dead.

On February 9, 1942 at New York City's pier 88 crowds gathered to witness the largest ocean liner in the world, the USS Lafayette be on fire. The Normandie was intended to set sail under the U.S. flag on February 14th, 1942.9 The conversion crew requested more time on February 6th because they believed the conversion would not be completed in time, their request was denied and were put in a frantic state to complete it in time. The time given for the conversion crew did not give them enough time to clean and prepare their work places making the condition more and more unsafe until it practically became more normal to them. At approximately 2:30pm a welder in the first class lounge of the SS Normandie was put under pressure with the short time frame to complete the job and did not move the life preservers which eventually ignited the fire. The Normandie's modern firefighting system was disabled during the conversion and once the New York Fire Department arrived

I made this replica icebreaker boat from the book “Ship Breaker.” I thought it was a good idea because almost the whole book is about the people on the boat and how they survive it.

I have made it to Upper Canada and it was quite the journey. It was scary making the decision and going without all of you. I knew that this was a one time chance and I might not even make it. Not going to lie I was pretty traumatized by everything that I saw on the ship. Making this decision was really hard because I knew I would have to face many problems and there would not be anyone there to help me. Starting off the coffin ship it self was a totally new experience. All types of people were suffering from deathly diseases and putting their lives on risk knowing that they might not even make it, just for a better future. There were little kids crying because some of their parents didn't make it and had to be thrown overboard. I honestly

In “The Shipwright”, Melvin B. Tolson expresses the nobility that is gained through a combined and incredible effort to create an amazing feat. An image of a sword symbolises this theme. A sword such as this is an object of nobility that would be used to lead an army into battle. “The galahads of the dock” calls to mind nobelity, unselfishness and purity, as a galahad is a knight of the round table. These shipwrights are portrayed as having the nobility of a knight wielding a sword. The sword is a feature in many epic stories, and building of this boat is considered an “epic of industry”. Just as one sword can not win a battle, one man can not build such a epic boat. To do so they strike “catholic notes” much

On February 9th, 1942 the SS Normandie was over at Pier 88 on West 49th Street in New York City was being turned into a troopship for the U.S. Navy. Clement Derrick was removing the last couple frames of the Grand Salon inside the ship when the sparks from his welder’s torch fell onto the ships highly flammable life preservers. In roughly half an hour the entire ship was engulfed in flames with black smoke pillowing over the Manhattan sky.1

In ancient Greece, the people of Athens dedicated a memorial in honor of King Theseus by preserving his naval ship in the port. This “ship of Theseus” stayed in port for hundreds of years. As time past, some of the wooden planks of Theseus’ ship began to rot away. To keep the ship preserved and presentable, the rotting planks were replaced with new planks made of the same material. This is where the key question lies; if you replace one of the planks, is it still the same ship of Theseus? This question addresses one of the most interesting problems in all of philosophy, namely the problem of identity. How do things stay the same even after they change? At what point does an object become different? When we talk about a certain object and say that “it changed,” what exactly is “it”? Some maintain that changing one plank changes the ship and makes it no longer the ship of Theseus. Others claim that as long as there is at least one plank from the original, it is still the original. There are also

The Nonfiction book I chose was Ghost Ship: The Mysterious True Story of the Mary Celeste and Her Missing Crew by Brandon Hicks. The author’s intent is to inform readers of the history of the Mary Celeste, and its legacy on maritime mysteries. The Mary Celeste was a merchant ship in the 1800s, and was captained by shareholder Benjamin Briggs when the tragedy took place. After sailing from a port in New York it began its journey across the Atlantic in foul weather. Weeks after it left New York, it was spotted by a ship and it was discovered that the crew was missing. The first few chapters of the book are to tell the readers about how the Mary Celeste came to be, mostly describing where/how it was built and its first commissions (cargo it had
