Relics of the Sea Horse Waterford, Feb 25 We have learned that the plate of the 59th Regiment was packed in five chests; that two of these were conveyed in the Sea Horse, which was wrecked in Tramore Bay; and that the other three had arrived with the remaining part of the regiment in Kinsale. The piece of plate, part of a plateau, which was formerly mentioned as having been recovered, was the property, we have since heard, of the Quarter master.-Waterford Chron. Curious relic.- A memento of the wreck of the Sea Horse transport, in Tramore bay, in 1816, was last week washed up near Rhine Shark, being the sword of an officer of the 59th Regiment, who very probably met his fate near the fatal spot. On the 31st January,
The Sea Horse transport of London is registered in both sets of books; in 1816, she is stated to be a 295 ton vessel, captained by a J Mackay. However, it must be noted that the registers contain many errors, often concerning tonnage, but also relating to irregular updating, where changes of masters and ownership were not altered for some years after the event and even extending to include shipwrecked vessels years after their demise. For example, The Charlotte transport, under the command of James Seaton, made port in Waterford on 3 February 1816. Although, the entry for the ship in both the 1816 registers, records the master as N. Pocock and it is not until the 1818 Register that the entry is updated and Seaton’s name is
Relative to warships, the merchant and ritual vessels are much smaller as shown in the manuscript of Snorri Sturluson’s Edda and Northumbria England. Merchant boats are also less decorative compared to ritual ships. Vikings are shown traveling in fleets when fighting in the manuscript of 1130 when they arrived in Britain. One impressive structure is the dragonhead on the front of the

On the ninth of April, the growing thaw forced the crew to abandon all non-essential supplies and take to their three lifeboats. The boats were named the James Caird, the Dudley Docker, and the Stancomb Wills, after the sponsors of the expedition. At night they would park the boats on ice floes and make fires out of whale blubber. After a perilous six-day expedition, they arrived on the desolate Elephant Island on April 15th. Although they were far from home, the solid ground under their feet was a massive relief that the men described as paradise.
I never heard before of a ship so well furbished with battle tackle, bladed weapons and coats of mail. The massed treasure was loaded on top of him: it would travel far on out into the ocean 's sway.” (line 34-42) Ship burials were a pagan practice in the anglo-saxon
The story starts with an emphasis on the antiquated days, when nature and all untamed life were enthusiastically sitting tight for the happening to man. At that point man landed from the east, and the relationship in the middle of nature and man throve.This whale rider gives skewers a role as nurturing items to the islands, yet one lance he throws 1000 years into what's to come. The center movements to a crowd of whales. The whale moms look over their young while the single pioneer whale—the bull whale—thinks back about his own childhood such a long time ago, and the valuable time he went through with the whale rider. Be that as it may, then the story movements to Kahu (the youthful courageous woman of the story).
Notable Shipwrecks and their Respective Goods in Southeast Asia Asister, Reven Dacut, Carl Mark Javier, Bryle Felix Pinos, Cleomarie Temelo, Jessa Submitted to: Alfie Anthony N. Neodama As ancient people began to develop civilizations, or urban settlements with complex ways of life, extensive trade routes formed and connected communities throughout the world (Rodrigue, Comtois, and Slack, 2013). Rivers, seas and oceans became essential water highways of trade and travel in the ancient world (Goucher, LeGuin, and Walton 1998). By exploring shipwrecks of the world, people learn more about the culture and history of the people who lived there. Certain goods, trade routes, artifacts, and shipbuilding techniques discovered have been linked to the traditions of the ancient civilizations (National Geographic Channel, 2013). Shipwrecks are the remains of ships that have been wrecked and can be found either beached on land or sunken at the bottom of the sea or even rivers and lakes.
The basic rules of whether a vessel is seen fit to sail is in section 39(1)-(4) of the Marine Insurance Act 1906. (Howard Bennet 1996) However it origins are from the case of Dixon vs Sadler (1839) with the warranty of Parker B. (Howard Benner 19696) Ship seaworthiness is divided into three subsections: physical worthiness, voyage worthiness and cargo worthiness. These are depicted in article 3.1 of the Hague and Hague-Visby Rules. (Shipping Law) In the case of Burgers v Wickham (1874) it was decided that seaworthiness has no absolute standard but reflects each vessel individually.
The Narrative of the second expedition describes the bustling business of slave trade in coastal markets: “Under the mats and in the enclosures are to be seen male and female slaves, from the age of five up to thirty. Some of these children of misfortune, more intelligent than others, are to be seen sitting pensive and melancholy, apparently in deep thought, while their poor legs are swelled from confinement in irons, or being closely stowed at the bottom of a canoe; some are eating yams and Indian-corn bread, while their owners are making a bargain or bartering them away for elephants ' teeth or cowries.” It goes on to reveal that “A young female would fetch from sixty to twenty thousand cowries. She must, however, to command the highest price, be beautiful.” It added that “A strong, well-grown man is worth from thirty to fifty thousand cowries. A boy, pony, an ox for burthen, a donkey or common working slave, from ten to thirty thousand.” (p. 299-300). It got to a point when cowries became cumbersome and incapable of coping with the constantly rising volume of trade.
