Ship Casualty Project On the April 23, 2013, 0817 local time, “American Dynasty” was approaching a graving dock at Esquimalt in British Columbia, Canada, (48°25.9’N, 123°25.8’W) when it suffered an electrical power and propulsion failure.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was a vessel named after the man Edmund Fitzgerald who was the President and Chairman of the Board of Northwestern Mutual Insurance. The vessel was taking taconite from Superior, Wisconsin to Zug Island which is near Detroit, Michigan on November 10, 1975. The storm on Lake Superior that fateful day killed all 29 crew members. The vessel was 729 feet and 13,632 gross ton empty of cargo. She was the largest ship to sail on the Great Lakes for 13 years until 1971. The Fitzgerald

The Titanic: one of the greatest ships ever known was one of the substantial creations of the 1800s, and also one of the most colossal blunders in the history. Mr. John Wesley Woodward: was he a simple second class cellist or an American hero? How do these two coincide? Mr. Woodward was aboard the Titanic when it notoriously sank. Woodward was among the many people who did not escape. The Titanic sank from large amounts of human error combined with terrible weather conditions, and Mr. John Woodward

Over a century after the R.M.S. Titanic sank into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, artifacts from the disaster—which claimed the life of 1,500 people—continue to captivate collectors and history buffs. On October 21, 2017, a letter recovered from the wreckage broke a world record by selling for 126,000 British pounds, or about 166,000 U.S. dollars. The letter comes from Oskar Holverson, a first-class passenger and U.S. businessman who perished in the water. He’d written the letter to his mother

On Monday, 15th April 1912, the RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg near Newfoundland at 11:40 pm and sank approximately two and a half hours later because of the severe damage the iceberg caused. The world’s biggest ship was only five days into her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York when the disastrous catastrophe took place. From the 2200 passengers, only 600 of them are estimated to have survived the tragedy. When the Cunard liner RMS Caparthia arrived two hours later the greatest ship

The Hindenburg T he Hindenburg was the biggest air ship ever made in the world at its time. The Hindenburg was made to take passengers across the Atlantic ocean in about three days. The survival rate for humans aboard the ship was 60%. It was bigger than the titanic it was 803.3 feet long. The ship was filled with helium until the United States made a rule that the ship could no longer be able to be filled with helium it was to be filled with hydrogen. That’s when things went downhill.

That said, it is also clear that the protestant Northern Irish youth identified more closely with Morrissey and British politics than they did with their Irish republican neighbors to the south. Punk and pop music were the sound of the Troubles for many people in Northern Ireland, not the traditional types of music that the Republic of Ireland clung so tightly to. This interplay with regard to economic advantage is certainly visible in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The minority Catholic

Blitzkrieg The word 'Blitz' itself is a shortened form of the German word 'Blitzkrieg' meaning lightening war, it means a heavy bombing attack from the air. It is often used to describe the German air raids on London in 1940, but many other cities were also blitzed. It was widely believed that Britain would be heavily bombed immediately after the war was declared and huge amounts of deaths and injuries were expected with mass burials planned and 1,250,000 cardboard coffins

The unionists were also strongly opposed to the Agreement. They didn’t like the involvement of the Republic's government in the affairs of Northern Ireland. The day after it was signed the News Letter summed up unionist opposition when it claimed "yesterday the ghosts of Cromwell and Lundy walked hand in hand to produce a recipe for bloodshed and conflict which has few parallels in modern history." In essence the Agreement represented a negotiation between the British
