The Ship Battle Of Doom : The Ship Battle Of Doom

In 1626, the Swedish gunship, Vasa, was constructed for war against Poland. King Gustav II of Sweden spared no expense and demanded the ship be the grandest, most prestigious watercraft ever created. His demand was fulfilled, however due to continuous design changes, inadequate communication, and a stringent timeline, the ship was poorly constructed. As a result, Vasa sunk after sailing only 1,000 yards, perishing 50 men and all of the war supplies.

Captain O’Hara was notified that there was flash traffic waiting for him at the base communications center. It was only a shortwave radio, but it was better than nothing. Captain O’Hara was in the middle of an inspection when his Executive Officer told him in no uncertain terms he needed to get his ass over to the communications center and read the message. He told his commander that, of course he couldn’t read it, because it was classified for his eyes only, but a little bird told him it was no ordinary message and he needed to get his ass over there.

The crew landed on their pirate island that they had claimed not too long ago, in Bobby's last adventure. The crew rested while Bobby mapped out where they would go next for gold or candy. Maybe they'd go to the Cookie Jar islands, or somewhere else where they were bound to find treats. Bobby had a luscious life as a pirate, and he was very happy.

“I suppose you came with my money if not the people of Earth only have three minutes left. You want something to drink? heee heee heee!!!!!!” said the man,”I’m Pinocchio, this is my rocket ship.”

“Ant. Hi. Nice to see you again. There’s the bell. Time to get on the boat. See you on there.” Ant was the school bully, an uneducated lethargic devil. He’s been trying to contact me for years since I became successful. But he made my life a living nightmare at school. It’s funny how things turned out.

other carriers. Many carriers were sunk by submarines, but submarines were also likely to be sunk by other aircraft carriers after their presence was known.

Merrick points over to the large box, “I noticed that earlier what is that?” and Tomlin replies I had just seconds to gather most of my things before heading to the dock. Merrick said, “Okay, no problem but what’s in there?” Tomlin looks at everyone and proudly says, “Knowledge”. They all laugh, Arik says, “Well you have us worried should it be a bigger box!” Oh my, even Merrick almost fell out off the boat laughing so hard. Finally, Tomlin replies “its books and charts on just about every subject”. “Well, I hope it was worth almost losing your life over.” said Arik. Finally, after they had a good laugh which actually help wake themselves up they started there way into another unknown mysterious port for the first time and again Merrick like a seasoned sailor perfectly steers slowly just edging to the side of the dock while Arik fastens and ties down a

John Dewey’s concept of a “public,” (sic) as a group of individuals who together are affected by a particular action or idea, which was introduced in his The Public and Its Problems, is not dead. This definition is vague and broad enough that it is adaptable to societal changes. The variety and sheer volume of the “public” has grown exponentially with the changes in technology and transportation. These changes have eliminated boundaries and made the transmission and receipt of information almost instantaneously. Kruckeberg and Tsetsura (2004) asked: “is today’s communication “revolution” more accurately a “reformation” in which each person can be his or her own journalist within a global milieu of interactive multimedia?” (p. 85) Comparing the reporting on two historical tragic events illustrates the answer to this question.

“Not even God himself could sink this ship,” an employee of the White Star Line carelessly stated at the launch of the Titanic on May 31, 1911. (Exhibit: Titanic) In April of 1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, to New York City in what is one of history’s deadliest disasters at sea. Unfortunately, the Titanic, on its maiden and final voyage, never reached its destination.

Continuing to fill up with water, the bow of the ship gets heavier, causing the stern [the rear of the ship] to rise vertically at about a 45 degree angle. As the stern lifts out of the water, the weight of the propellers causes an immense amount of stress to the ship’s midsection, beyond what it can withhold.

Titanic was one of the largest ships of her day. She was hailed to be one of the greatest ships of her time. She was called, “The ship of dreams.” She was supposed to be unsinkable. The Titanic was made by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Ireland. Harland and Wolff was a construction company for the White Star Line. Construction for the Titanic began in 1909 and took nearly three years to complete. On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic was on her maiden voyage to New York, carrying many passengers from the upper class of society, to the poorest of people, who could barely afford a ticket on the Titanic, coming to live in America, when suddenly she struck an iceberg! Around 1500 lives were lost that night, and around 705 survived the sinking. It was determined that the iceberg was the cause of her sinking, but, after much research scientists and historians have found that her sinking was more complicated then realized. However, it wasn’t just the iceberg that made the Titanic sink, she was doomed before she began her maiden voyage, the iceberg was only a small part of it.

A mighty hurricane strikes, and they end up on a deserted island. They find that their enemy pirates are quite friendly when the enemies share their treasure along with some ice creams for good measure. Helen Oxenbury's subtle watercolour illustrations give a fresh coastal feel to the book.

The sun was setting low in the sky behind them, before her grandfather spoke again. He said, “We ought to be to Eli 's cabin in about another mile. We’ll get there just in time for some of Nancy 's good cooking. No disrespect meant, but I 'm tired of eating your and mine cooking,” he said. “I always look forward to visiting with them-” he chuckled. “I never told your grandma this, but I’ll tell you; that Nancy, she sure can cook, real good. Her cooking is better than anyone else’s cooking I‘ve ever eaten, even your grandma‘s. O‘course, your grandma didn‘t know nothing but Indian cooking when I married her- which I ain‘t a saying is a bad thing-”
