alone could not become successful in creating a force strong enough to make any sort of living. Pirates depended on the ability of their crewmates to get done what had to be done. The crew of a pirate ship live in close quarters with each other when ever they were at sea and because of this, “ ships formed ‘floating societies’ that, like all societies required social rules and governance institutions to function” (Leeson 203).

Introduction: In this assignment I will first explain the Panama Canal modernization and then I will discuss about the industry experts/forecasters prediction about its impact on east and west coast of U.S. followed by the detailed analysis to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction. Furthermore, based on the analysis, I will present my opinion for rejecting or agreeing with the forecaster’s prediction of the panama canal’s positive impact on intermodal traffic market share of east coast ports and

Thank You, Emmeline One late morning in 1914, I leaned against the newly painted silver railings of the large Majestic, a beautiful ship with a black bottom and a bright white top. Murky, charcoal-black smoke came out of the three enormous, grey, cylinder-shaped chimneys, which began combining with the fresh sea air.
