Naval Architect Naval architecture also known as Naval engineering is an engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of marine vessels and structures.[1][2] Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation and calculations during all stages of the life of a marine vehicle. Preliminary design of the vessel, its detailed design, construction, trials, operation and maintenance, launching and dry-docking are the main activities involved. Ship design calculations are also required for ships being modified (by means of conversion, rebuilding, modernization, or repair). Main subjects[edit] The word "vessel" includes every description of watercraft, including non-displacement craft, WIG craft and seaplanes, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water.[3] The principal elements of naval architecture are:[4] Hydrostatics[edit] Body plan of a ship showing the hull form Hydrodynamics[edit] Structures[edit]

In truth, a museum is a place for anyone who's broadly interested in culture, whether it be their own or that of another people, country, or era. The "museum" is simply the building or vessel from which history, including the history of the present, is contained. Most museums aren't just for browsing artworks and getting a souvenir at the gift shop, though. Some on this list are as specific as the Museum of Transportation, the Titanic Museum, and the Simone Handbag Museum, and some are as broad as the Tokyo National Museum and the de Young Museum. If you haven't already gotten the point, a museum can be a fascinating place, and no one is the same as the next.

"We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to," novelist Graham Greene once wrote. A growing number of Americans of all ages are embracing that idea by renewing a resolve to live life to its fullest. Exhibit A is the recent popularity of "life lists"—itineraries of things to do and places to go before taking the ultimate trip to the Great Beyond. Life list experts (yes, there are such beings) advise people not to set themselves up for disappointment by trying to accomplish too much. To that end, the staff of Smithsonian—as diverse a group of travelers as you're likely to meet—put their heads together to come up with an exclusive list of 28 places the Smithsonian reader might wish to visit before ...it's too late. – Mesa Verde – Pompeii – Tikal – Petra Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?

Sea Giants Semi-submersible ships are the only vessels in the world which provide the capability to load, transport and offload extremely heavy cargo, such as oil drilling rigs, gas refineries or even warships. Their large, free and open deck makes them the largest heavy transports in the world. They are capable of loading lifts from approximately 50 to as much as 45,000 tons. 1. According to Wikipedia, a semi-submersible heavy-lift ship, or also known as a "flo/flo" (for float-on/float-off), has a long and low well deck between a forward pilot house and an after machinery space. Its ballast tanks can be flooded to lower the well deck below the water's surface, allowing oil platforms, other vessels, or other floating cargo to be moved into position for loading. The tanks are then pumped out, and the well deck rises to shoulder the load. 2. Many of the larger ships of this class are owned by the company Dockwise, including the Mighty Servant 1, the Blue Marlin, and the Black Marlin. "Thunder Horse" 3.

News - Scotland - Edinburgh - Stagecoach to launch hover trial for Forth commuters COMMUTERS will have their first chance to sample hover travel across the Forth next month when a two-week trial gets under way. Stagecoach will test the potential for a new link between Kirkcaldy in Fife and Portobello, Edinburgh, using a hovercraft capable of connecting them in 20 minutes. Passengers will pay 4.50 return for the hourly, daytime service, which is seen as potentially relieving some congestion on the Forth Road Bridge. The 300,000 trial, which runs from 16 July to 28 July, coincides with a week-long closure of the Forth Bridge for railway engineering work. Brian Souter, the Stagecoach chief executive, hit upon the hovercraft plan after being frustrated by the "painfully slow" progress of his original Forth ferry plans, which The Scotsman revealed three years ago. Hovercraft do not need the expensive dock construction required by ferries, but experts said they could cost more to run and prompt complaints over noise.
