	Second Battle of the Atlantic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Second Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign of World War II, running from 1939 right through to the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, and was at its height from mid-1940 through to about the end of 1943.
		The U-boat fleet, which was to dominate so much of the battle of the Atlantic, was very small at the beginning of the war and much of the early action by German forces involved mining convoy routes and ports around Britain.
		The Introduction by the British of the Leigh Light in June 1942 was a significant factor in the North Atlantic struggle.

		The Atlantic crossing was therefore a major if not the greatest obstacle, another difficulty which emigrants had to overcome before reaching North America.
		In order to study how the crossing of the Atlantic was dealt with between 1845 and 1855, it seems necessary to first identify upon which ships the Irish sailed and also who were the men sailing these vessels during that period.
		Emigrants were made to scrub the steerage with sand, sluice it down, and then dry the timbers with pans of hot coals from the galley, so that in a few hours no one would have imagined, from the ship's appearance, that she had made anything other than a tidy, comfortable and safe voyage.

		The theory, presented at a weekend conference, is at odds with the long-held notion that the continent's first settlers came across a land bridge from Asia.

		But according to the new theory, the continent's first inhabitants may have crossed the Atlantic more than 18,000 years ago from Europe's Iberian Peninsula _ the area that is now Spain, Portugal and southwestern France.

		Cramped inside a five-foot by seven-foot open basket, Hempleman-Adams not only battled sleep deprivation, fear and cold, but was also hit by two sonic booms from a passing Concorde jet and had to drop several thousand feet rapidly.
		In 2002, Hempleman-Adams had to land in Connecticut due to technical problems and earlier this year atrocious weather conditions caused such a delay that by the time he was airborne the winds were too slow to allow an Atlantic crossing without running out of fuel.
