Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A few ships have used nuclear reactors, but this is not a separate form of propulsion; the reactor heats steam to drive the turbines. One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage. Until the application of the steam engine to ships in the early 19th century, oars propelled galleys or the wind propelled sailing ships. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ship   (2487 words)

SHIP - LoveToKnow Article on SHIP She is a full-rigged four-masted ship, 332 ft. long, 451/8 ft. beam, 26 ft. moulded depth, gross tonnage 3292, and intended to carry f,500,000 gallons of oil in cases of 1o gallons each from the United States to Shanghai, returning with cargoes of sugar, hemp, andc.

Ship Naming and Launching Getup @ LaunchBase.net (Launch Base) As the 19th century progressed, American ship launchings continued to be festive occasions, but with no set ritual except that the sponsor or sponsors used some "christening fluid" as the ship received her name. Ship launching participants in ancient Greece wreathed their heads with olive branches, drank wine to honor the gods, and poured water on the new vessel as a symbol of blessing. Ship launchings in the Ottoman Empire were accompanied by prayers to Allah, the sacrifice of sheep, and appropriate feasting. www.launchbase.net /encyclopedia/Ship_naming_and_launching   (1987 words)

Q-ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The careers of all five ships were almost entirely unsuccessful and very short; all Q-ships patrols ended in 1943. About a dozen of the sailors escaped the sinking submarine, and Herbert fearing they would scuttle the civilian ship, ordered the sailors to be shot at as they swam towards the transport and then sent a boarding party aboard that ship prevent any attempts at sinking it. The cargoes of the Q-ships would be wooden caskets and wood (eg balsa or cork) so even if torpedoed they would stay afloat, encouraging the U-boat to surface and use its gun. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Q-ship   (1044 words)

Project Liberty Ship Liberty Ships were of all welded construction which in and of itself was a highly controversial method of fabrication for ships. The ship was light except for some water that had been pumped into the holds as ballast in order to minimize the violence imposed by the monstrous seas. In the galley everything is secured and there are bars and rails to keep pots from sliding off the stove, but in really heavy seas such as we were experienceing, a cook was always in danger of being thrown against a hot stove, therefore not a lot of cooking went on. www.liberty-ship.com /html/contributed/hafford(08).html   (3432 words)

Ghost Ship (2002) The most evident of these is the plaque sporting the phrase "Cabina di capitano" (outside the ship's captain cabin) instead of the correct "Cabina del capitano". Plot Outline: A salvage crew that discovers a long-lost 1962 passenger ship floating lifeless in a remote region of the Bering Sea soon notices, as they try to tow it back to land, that "strange things" happen... As soon as a few plot-aspects are clarified, Ghost Ship turns into a mediocre and predictable thriller…I'm convinced that, with a slightly more intelligent script, this could have become one of the better horror-thrillers since the new Millennium. www.imdb.com /title/tt0288477   (564 words)
