With ways that are being developed to help protect ships such as fire hoses, flares, and barbed wire along the rails of the boats. They still do not guarantee a safe ride for the cargo and crew onboard. Cargo ships should be allowed to carry weapons to protect from pirates and other intruders.

Within The Ship Starting, there are three notable instances of repetition. For one, the word “ship” occurs three times (including in the title). Given that ships are the topic of interest in the poem, this instance of repetition has the basic effect of bringing the locus of the text back to the title, or central theme.

The Mystery Ship When I read this story it brought to mind all of those Dracula movies that I have seen where they show a ship coming into harbor with no one alive aboard or a ship full of corpses.

The strangest thing was that the ship was seaworthy and all of its stores and supplies were aboard and untouched but there was not a single

The Ship model I have chosen is the Olympia (C-6) protected cruiser. It was a U.S.S. ship commissioned in 1982. The reason I immediately chose this ship was due to the evidently noticeable rotatable turrets on the bow and aft of the ship. This style of turret was reminisce of the U.S.S. Monitor’s rotating turret, previously studied in class. I liked how I could relate previous knowledge of technological advancements and see how they were implemented later on in ships.
