=According to my suggestion as a student in this case is saw that lack of the lookout and not safe of maneuvering. Sea routes are getting busier day by day as the number of sailing ships is continuously increasing. Technology advancement has helped large ships to sail at amazing speeds. But in this case with an increase in traffic and speed, the risk of accidents has also increased drastically. The ship collision is a common accident in the sea by many kind of ships that results from crashing into a still or floating object. In my own explanation collision defined as the change in structural properties of a ship as a result of an impact with a solid structure. Ship collision is considered to be the most worst of marine accidents as it leads to extreme adverse effects on human and marine life at the sea. The sea route traffic has increase by the leaps and bounds and there has also been a sharp increase in the speed levels. This has led to an increase in the probability of ships confronting collision. Also, higher the velocity, greater the damage caused to the ship. In this case the ship has high tonnage and …show more content…
It should not be mistaken as a signal for abandoning the ship. Take attendance, if anybody is missing report the same to the master. Inform the officer responsible on muster station about the situation. Make arrangements, to search and find the missing person. The responsible officers and crew should lower the life boats up to embarkation deck and make all arrangements to abandon the vessel at quick notice. It should be noted that engine room should not be left unattended if the impact of collision is minimal, which do not need an immediate evacuation of the compartment. Also, the engine room in-charge should ensure all officers and crew working in the engine room are ready with their life jackets and TPA if immediate evacuation is required in the later
Known for being one of the newest and largest ships at the time, headed high speed through
When we were in history class all we were taught was how we got into World War 2, we would usually talk about Pearl Harbor and Japan, but what about Germany. None of our history teachers had talked about the USS Greer incident that had gotten Americans rallied up for war. So, what exactly happened on this “awful” day, September 4, 1941, that had brought America against Germany? No one truly knows, who started the attack that day. After reading a packet full of information about this day and how we Americans were manipulated by our “Great” President Roosevelt. After looking over some log information from both the USS Greer and Germany’s submarines, I had taken the route that the start of this whole incident was the fault of the British. If not for the British getting involved the way they had then maybe the German submarine would not have fired torpedoes. To get the American people rallied for war President Roosevelt had manipulated the American people by using polls and speaking to get fear and anger across the
On April 19, 1989, an explosion had occurred on the USS Iowa (Fulero & Wrightsman, 2009). One of the gun turrets had exploded killing 47 sailors in the process. The Navy had believed that the explosion was an intentional act of one sailor, Clayton Hartwig. The Naval Investigative Services (NIS) collected data to conduct an investigation. However, the Navy believed it was not appropriate to conduct the investigation, so they sought the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to conduct the investigation.
Just as the fair season was over and the wretched sea started to slam against the hull of the ship, Bradford writes, “they were encountered many times with cross winds and met with many fierce storms with which the ship was shroudly shaken, and her upper works made very leaky; and one of the main beams in the mid-ships was bowed and cracked, which put them in some fear that he ship could not be able to perform the voyage…in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasional above the gratings was, with a seel of the ship, thrown into sea”( Bradford 79,80). Bradford and the colonist must survive the perilous journey to America by battling horrible ocean conditions. They have a broken beam that threatens their voyage to America and a man is thrown overboard. These men and women are in the heart of the most dangerous voyage to America. They have to overcome problems at sea before they even reach land. Most of them don’t even believe that they will even make it to the land. And once they do reach land they are more grateful that they reached land and was finished with the ocean even though they are not in
What caused an 85 ton Sperm whale to crash into the side of the Essex, causing one of the most disastrous and tragic accidents in maritime history? Was this a calculated attack? Did it see the whaling ship as an unwanted rival in its territory? Did the crew of the Essex have anything to do with the whales’ sporadic behavior? Or was this simply an unexplainable act of nature’s unpredictability?
Ship out to sea – had doubts but sent it out anyways (avoided error). James belief would react differently following the method of knowing the truth- which could have drove to the decision of either (passionate about either the welfare of the passengers or the destination of the cargo) depending on ones individual ethic. Despite the doubts of the boats safety- ship owner muted the ideas with past events of successful trips-on insufficient evidence. The authority of the mechanic over the authority of communal rumors.
These “ships” symbolize a person’s goals and wishes in life. The journey to chase and obtain these ambitions is exciting and unpredictable. Similar to Janie’s journey, there will be struggles along the way. However, one can continue their journey and learn from their experiences. In life, there are many complications and harsh experiences.
One of the most horrifying events a person can experience is a car accident. Between the physical, mental, and emotional effects, most people struggle to move forward after such a traumatic experience. To make things worse, there are people who have to deal with the aftermath of getting into a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler or a tractor-trailer. The thought is insanely terrifying, but these things do happen.
The “unsinkable ship” was overflowing with water and sinking! If the titanic were to have practiced what would happen if they did crash like was supposed to happen on the day that the titanic hit the iceberg, but the captain rescheduled the practice persieger for the lifeboats if they did get into a crash, says “www.History.com” . It would have also helped if they had the right amount of lifeboats on the boat, and if they were to fill the boats to there maxcapacity. On one life boat you could fit 60 people but they were only putting 20-25 people on the lifeboats.they had all the right equipment the over 3 quarters of the lives would have survived the crash. According to
Commercial truck-related collisions remains to be the prominent cause of death on Ontario roads, with one in five road crashes involving large truck vehicles (Best, 2017). Behind a vast majority of the crashes, there is a fatigue driver who lost control of the steering due to insufficient sleep and inattentiveness. According to studies, sleep deprivation is the primary risk factor of accidents involving transport trucks (National Transportation Safety Board, 1995). If sleepless night becomes a routine for transport drivers, it can possibly lead to long-term sleep deprivation and the associated health risk. Health risk associated with sleep deprivation are heart attack, depression, anxiety, weight gain and death. Most common health risk experienced
The human voyage into life is basically feeble, vulnerable, uncontrollable. Since the crew on a dangerous sea without hope are depicted as "the babes of the sea", it can be inferred that we are likely to be ignorant strangers in the universe. In addition to the danger we face, we have to also overcome the new challenges of the waves in the daily life. These waves are "most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall", requiring "a new leap, and a leap." Therefore, the incessant troubles arising from human conditions often bring about unpredictable crises as "shipwrecks are apropos of nothing." The tiny "open boat", which characters desperately cling to, signifies the weak, helpless, and vulnerable conditions of human life since it is deprived of other protection due to the shipwreck. The "open boat" also accentuates the "open suggestion of hopelessness" amid the wild waves of life. The crew of the boat perceive their precarious fate as "preposterous" and "absurd" so much so that they can feel the "tragic" aspect and "coldness of the water." At this point, the question of why they are forced to be "dragged away" and to "nibble the sacred cheese of life" raises a meaningful issue over life itself. This pessimistic view of life reflects the helpless human condition as well as the limitation of human life.
The story’s theme is related to the reader by the use of color imagery, cynicism, human brotherhood, and the terrible beauty and savagery of nature. The symbols used to impart this theme to the reader and range from the obvious to the subtle. The obvious symbols include the time from the sinking to arrival on shore as a voyage of self-discovery, the four survivors in the dinghy as a microcosm of society, the shark as nature’s random destroyer of life, the sky personified as mysterious and unfathomable and the sea as mundane and easily comprehended by humans. The more subtle symbols include the cigars as representative of the crew and survivors, the oiler as the required sacrifice to nature’s indifference, and the dying legionnaire as an example of how to face death for the correspondent.
Fuel shortage due to miscalculation of the amount of fuel needed for the entire expedition and the potential that this may cause a fire or an explosion on board the vessel and the lack of proper fly-fishing equipment.
The ocean is a crazy place, not knowing what will come under the water, going on a boat to land is not has easy as it sounds. The mary celeste had this problem. The mary celeste went as far as the eye can see and back for everyone to see but there was something wrong the whole crew was gone. This will be about what happen to the crew on the mary celeste and what problem happen going though the ocean.
Symbolism was used to express the Captains minds set. In the beginning paragraphs, the Captain is viewed as depressed, apprehensive, and insecure. The Captain viewed the land as insecure, whereas the sea was stable. The Captain was secure with the sea, and wished he were more like it.
