In the shore of Bay of Bangle, Chittagong business of breaking abandoned ship has been running for more than decades and this business is increasing day by day. It is a business of dismantling old, damaged and obsolete sea going on ship, cargo and oil tankers to meet the increasing demand of raw materials for re-rolling mills and other purposes. Ship breaking area along the Chittagong sea shore is situated on 22⁰22”N latitude and 91⁰E longitude, stretched 14km from Fouzdarhat to Kumira adjacent to Sandwip Channel and beside Dhaka Trunk road. Ship breaking activities were started in 1969. Before starting of ship breaking, Fouzdarhat area was an important place for recreation and in long past the area was covered by mangrove vegetation. In ship breaking process, at first materials such as wooden furniture, electrical goods, motors, cooler etc. are taken from the ship. The scrappers then collect oil residue and lubricants manually from the ship by pumping oil. The refused and non-extractable oil are thrown into the seawater. Finally the iron bodies of the ships are being cut into pieces...
Titanic and the SS Maheno. The well know ship “The Titanic” now lies 3,800 m under water off the shore of Newfoundland where it sunk back in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg, the ship is now rapidly rusting and disintegrating. The SS Maheno is a major tourist attraction that lies on the east coast of Fraser Island, Australia. It was a trading ship between New Zealand and Australia from years 1905 to 1935, and also participated in World War I for the New Zealand Naval Force. The wreck was left there to disintegrate after the owners refused to pay to move it. Corrosion is ‘a chemical process by which a metal is oxidised. ’ (corrosionist.com). Iron is the only metal that rusts and occurs out of the chemical processes, oxidation and reduction. In most cases, corrosion of iron occurs when the metal is losing its electrons, this is oxidising. Another cause behind the occurrence of rusting is ‘rust eating bacteria’ at deep enough levels of the ocean. And finally, abiotic factors such as salinity, pH and oxygen levels have an impact on the rusting or shipwrecks. The last cause to be discussed is environmental effects such as salinity, pH and oxygen levels.
... (Lukee 3). Not one survivor emerged from the wreckage and the fate of the ship lasted unknown for almost three centuries (Lukee 2). The wrecked slave ship was found in 1972, during a magnetometer survey, operated by a subsidiary of Mel Fisher's Treasure Salvors, Inc (Lukee 4). Some artifacts were collected from the wreck that included bilboes and iron shackles that were used to restrain slaves (Lukee 4). When they realized that the wreck was most likely a slave ship and not a treasure ship, the company reburied the ancient findings and pieces of the ship hull that they had exposed and left the site.

Drowning, screaming, Weeping, Send offs...These are some of the last words you heard from Jack Jill, Tyrone T. lll, Bob Blob and from others. The date was April 14-15 1912. The zone around North Atlantic Ocean. This was traumatic time/date. The Titanic had sunk and lots of people died 1,503 to be exact. But these people were rude, raw and blunt. And also the rude rich ones ended up dying. But not all of them died. It is kind of funny because the rude rich people were the ones that died. AKA people like Jack Jill and Bob Blob. The Titanic was on her maiden voyage, a return trip from Britain to America. The route was Southampton, England – Cherbourg, France – Queenstown, Ireland – New York, USA. The return route was going to be New York – Plymouth,
April 14, 1912, the Titanic set sail for a maiden voyage. Some of the people on board never thought that it would be goodbye forever. The Titanic was heading to New York City from Southampton, England. Why does the Titanic now lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? Historians believe that the Titanic sank because of human error. They believe that it was Captain Smith, the lookouts in the crows nest, and Thomas Andrews fault.
Dr. Roger McCarthy, disaster analysis expert, Exponent, Inc. noted, "The Titanic is one of the most classic illustrations of that: had just one thing been different, the disaster wouldn't have happened" (McIver 1). Meaning, the Titanic could have easily been prevented. Although the Titanic was a very nice and fancy boat, The Titanic was proved on April 14, 1912, that is was sinkable. The Titanic set sail from Southampton, England and was sailing for New York. At 11:35 at night, a member of the crew noticed the iceberg (Vander 1). This crew member was the captain Edward J. Smith. By the time he could do anything about it, the ship had already hit the iceberg (Landau 7).There were 2,208 people on board that night (Johnson 2). Due
The Mercy Ships must be a God send to the people in that area. Just to think the over growth of their own tooth enamel is causing what they believe to be the works of evil spirits and being cursed. It has got be a horrible feeling for the parents of the babies who has under gone surgery for a cleft palate to know there is a possibility of that child also being afflicted with a tumor as they grow up. I imagine day to day life for the people who have been robbed of their sight by cataracts has to difficult since their livelihood are obtained just as they were centuries ago. Then to add injury to insult, there is a language barrier of which the patients do not seem to matter. I’m glad to see that even though the patients are faces with so much
I personally found this book to be an excellent read, and while I haven’t read to many business management books. I can feel safe to say that I think this one does an excellent job in conveying key management principals for today’s workplace. It also appealed to me due to my fascination with the way in which our military operates. I believe he did a great job of staying clear of getting too detailed in either is leadership model and military jargon. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels intimidated by management books that read more like a textbook, who want to learn but also enjoy the reading too.
On April 30, 1907, an idea was born out of the minds of Bruce Ismay and William James Pirrie to build an unsinkable ship: the Titanic. A company, Harland and Wolff, out of Belfast, Ireland were commissioned to build this miraculous ship (United States). The company made quick work, and within a few days short of five years, the Titanic was then ready to set sail from its location in Belfast to Southampton, England. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic left for Southampton and arrived within the next 24 hours. There were 2,223 passengers consisting of immigrants to millionaires on board preparing to set sail for New York hoping to find their way to a better life (United States). The Titanic gave many people a chance to start a new life in America,
A significant portion of the Coast Guard is not required to maintain any physical fitness standard. Requiring boatcrew members and law enforcement personnel to pass the physical fitness test; it puts a burden on the members for the extra time to maintain this standard. To change the current boat crew physical fitness test to a Coast Guard wide physical fitness test. It would benefit the Coast Guard and start to create a healthier lifestyle. The Coast Guard should require all members to pass the boat crew physical fitness standards.
The R.M.S. Titanic was said to be unsinkable. This White Star liner was the biggest British ocean liner of its day. It set sail on April 10, 1912 and came to its resting place in the sea just four days later. Crucial events and decisions were made that resulted in the sinking of this great, unsinkable ship. Errors were made that cost many their lives. The sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic could have been prevented.
The Titanic set voyage on April 1912 to New York. The Titanic and its sister ships, Olympia and Britannic were said to be virtually unsinkable by a magazine article, not the White Star Line. The Titanic was the second ship to set sail on its maiden voyage out of the three sister ships. The Titanic had been built a lot differently than most of the ships back then. For example, a normal ship was built with three funnels but the Titanic had four. The fourth funnel did not serve the same purpose like the other three; its use was for steam to be released from the kitchen. Another example was that the Titanic was the biggest ship at the time. The ship had received ice warnings at least six different times from ships but Captain Smith had ignored
Most of you have probably heard about the Titanic, but how many of you have heard of the Olympic? Did you know that the Titanic and Olympic were really the embodiment of one man’s vision to make his company the top shipping company on the North Atlantic run between Europe and the New World? That man was Mr. Bruce Ismay and he had a bold dream to build the grandest ocean liners the world had ever seen. And today I will share how I learned under FLDS that Ismay’s vision and dream was extrinsically motivated by profit. Also I will discuss how his vision was willed into reality by incorporating elements of Change Management. However, Ismay ultimately doomed the future of his company by becoming the single point of failure for his company by not applying Change Management to its end state.
