Why were the maritime Provinces smaller in area than Ontario and Quebec? And the US you have a similar situation with the small area of the 6 New England states compared to gigantic New York State. What explains the size contrast? The U.S. explanation is not compatible with the Canadian explanation, which is why the question needs to be asked. For the US, it's that the Puritan settlers politicized a system of direct democracy town Governments, each autonomized with their own town clergy.... and this led to the New England town structure.... and walking distances were deemed larger so state/originally colony boundaries were made smaller........ For Maritimes, it was Frenchmen and Scots and Irish, but of a different group. They were working class and not particularly as religious and fanatical as Puritan New Englanders, but they were family-oriented like New Englanders, and not profiteers like Virginians. What explains their smaller area though?

Where can I find international maritime traffic statistics? I need to find an online resource for international maritime traffic statistics. I really need the report to list statistics for trade routes / sea areas and the number of vessels passing through those areas. I can't use AIS data because I am particularly interested in traffic in areas such as the Aden Gulf where the threat of piracy means that AIS is turned off. Can anyone help? Thanks for the advice, Roger M, by Lloyds don't appear to publish that info for free. Do you know of anywhere else where I can get approximate information without having to pay for it?

I can see the Atlantic ocean from the 2nd floor of my house, does that make me an expert on maritime law? Sarah Palin has made it clear that proximity to something gives you experience and expertise in the broader policy area of that thing. So I'd like to explore what subject matters I might be an expert in just by virtue of being physically close to a representative of that subject matter. For example, right now I'm close to a computer. Does that mean I can be an IT professional?

Coast Guard and Navy Law enforcement competitiveness?

Question About Various Maritime Procedures? I have a question for anyone who may have been part of the Merchant Marines or any other naval organization. Or even anyone who has any general knowledge of maritime procedures. I am writing a book, and the book opens up with the main character on a Merchant Marine ship. Shortly after, the boat docks in a town in the northern United States (the book is set circa 1850 if anyone has any general naval knowledge from that era). First off, what happens before and during the docking process, as far as procedures that the crew must follow? Also, what are the general guidelines for when sailors can leave the boat while docked, how long they can stay off the boat, and what can they can do/where can they go in whatever town they're in? Although this part of the book will be pretty brief, I still want it to be factually sound, which will be pretty hard to pull off without doing a little research, and I can't seem to find anything on the subject. (Also, it would be extremely helpful if anyone knows anything about the lingo and general dialect of sailors from that era [assuming they even had a dialect]. I know it's probably nothing close to the cliche "arr matey!" that pirates are typically depicted as. some help in this area would be greatly appreciated as well.) Thanks in advance. Peace. I would, but as I said, it's only a minor part of my book. It's only going to be a brief thing in the beginning, and then the book will move on to something else completely different. I don't need to be extremely well-verse on the subject, I just need a few pointers to make it seem a little more believable.
Can a US Maritime School student go on a foreign flag cruise ship as a deck cadet? I am planning on attending California Maritime Academy, so I am thinking about commercial cruises I want to do...I would like to do it on a cruise ship, as that is the area I'd like to work as a deck officer. So is the only ship I can do my commercial cruise on NCL America?? Or can I do it on a foreign flagged cruise ship? I know Celebrity and RCCL have deck apprentice programs, but those vessels are foreign flagged... Thanks!

Is the cuban blockade an excuse/shield to hide corruption & drug traffic operations between the island & Fla.? Several tons of cocaine from Bolivia, Peru or Colombia are smuggled in a daily basis through Cuba into Florida. Drug trafficking activities, corruption, and organized crime, operates in the maritime borders of the Caribbean area and Florida stretch; but for some reason, violence is being spread across the border between USA/Mexico. The US media blame only on Mexico, and systematically denies and hide terrorism in Cuba and Florida. funny! The US media agenda is funny, cynical, hypocritical and terrorist.
What are some good French Acadian singers/bands? My family is from the Moncton area of New Brunswick and I go up there all the time to visit. I love the culture and love the music. Currently I have all the albums of Zarico, Bluegrass Diamonds, Paul Hébert and a couple of other songs from various artists. Since I don't live there and since Acadian French is only specific to that small maritime area it's hard to discover new music and such. The ones I know of now and that I have are from my family. So... do you know any bands, singers, et cetera who sing that type of folk, country, bluegrass, type of Acadian music? Merci beaucoup!
WWIII-US+EUvsRussia+China+...? Ok so you pretty much know what is going on between those North Korean nerds and their South foes. Currently, the tension is between: South K + US + Japan vs NK. However, NK gets support from Russia and China. If this ongoing tension continues, it can possibly lead to a world war. Thanks to UK, Germany and France being good allied of US, the NATO if not the whole EU countries will side with US. Under British command, commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa will also join in. Good allies of US also include Israel and Pakistan, or even maybe Phillipines, their former colony. In Asia, Vietnam will support US although they and China are neighbors, since China has been conquering their land and maritime area over the past 20 years. On the other side, all the Muslim extremists who hate US and UK will join NK's side. Also those in the middle east who abhor Israel, like Syria, Iran and Palestine. With this context, who would win? Which countries not mentioned above might involve in this war? And pls dont say stuff like both would die then Africa would take over, that's plainly rubbish.

The 20 most important naval battles in the history? battle of the delta(1178bc)>While there is no documentation for any pursuit of the defeated Sea Peoples, who fled to the Levant, Egypt was saved from the fate of total destruction.This is the first naval battle in the history. Salamis, (480 BC)>. 371 Greek ships defeated 1,271 Persian ships in this decisive battle. Greek triremes had a crew of about 200 while their small penteconters had 50 oarsmen. With 1,642 ships altogether, it is thought possible that 200,000 sailors, soldiers and marines took part. Cape Ecnomus, (256 BC)>. Like Salamis, Ecnomus was also a single engagement where 680 ships were fighting in a very small area. Some historians[who?] accept Roman claims that Rome had about 100,000 personnel. If this were true, which is unlikely, it would make it probable that at least 200,000 Roman and Carthaginian sailors and soldiers were involved. Red Cliffs, (208 bc)>, the battle between Cao Cao and Sun Quan on China's Yangtze River – the exact location is debated – during the late Han Dynasty. Cao Cao's forces are said to have numbered 220,000–240,000 while Sun Quan's fleet is said to have had 50,000 marines, the total claimed therefore being some 270,000 or 290,000 in all. Actium, (31 BC)>. Battle between Mark Antony, Cleopatra and Octavian for control of the Roman world; more than 500 warships were involved Yamen, (1279). The battle which ended the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty's conquest of Southern Song Dynasty. It is claimed that more than 1,000 Song Dynasty warships were destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty near Yamen, Guangdong, China. Lake Poyang, (1363)>. Claimed to be the largest battle in terms of personnel. Sailors of the Ming rebel force, said to be 200,000 strong, commanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, met a Han rebel force, claimed to be 650,000-strong, commanded by Chen Youliang, on Lake Poyang, China's largest freshwater lake. Lepanto, (1571). 212 Holy League galleys and galleasses against 272 or more Ottoman galleys, galliots etc (484+ total). The forces of the Holy League inflicted a crushing defeat on the Ottoman fleet. This was the last major naval battle, at least in the Western world, to be fought entirely or almost entirely between rowing vessels. Around 150,000 personnel took part in the battle. Lepanto is thought by some historians[who?] to have been the most decisive naval battle since Actium in 31 BC.The Turkish fleet lost more than 200 vessels and suffered at least 20,000 casualties. Spanish Armada, (1588)>. In a series of engagements in the English Channel, a Spanish invasion fleet of 130 ships was driven north by English forces numbering nearly 200 ships. Rounding the British Isles into the Atlantic, the Armada was destroyed by powerful gales on its return to Spain. the english armada (1589)>One year after the spanish armada,the queen elizabeth sent 18.000 soldiers against spain.Only 5000 came to england.Spain was the most powerful country in the sea until 1639 (battle of the downs) Myeongnyang, (1597)>. A large Japanese assault on Admiral Yi's remaining 13 ships. The Japanese attacked with 333, but were routed by the smaller force. Battle of the downs(1639)>After this battle,holland was became in the first naval power in the world. Cartagena de Indias, (1741)>. 186 British ships attacked Spanish fortifications and six warships in Cartagena de Indias (present-day Colombia), resulting in a major defeat and heavy losses for the British: 50 ships lost and 18,000 casualties. The battle is thought to be the largest military action in maritime history (in terms of tonnage) until the Battles of Normandy and Leyte Gulf surpassed it in 1944. Battle of Chesapeake Bay (1781) - the French prevented Royal Navy from supplying Gen. Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, and 5 British ships were damaged with 336 casualties. Not a humiliating naval defeat, but the outcome was humiliating - the British army eventually surrendered because the Royal Navy failed to help them, and Britain therefore lost the war Vyborg Bay, (1790)>. 257 Russian vs 241 Swedish sailing ships and rowing vessels (498 total) (neva.ru). Trafalgar, (1805). A British fleet of 27 ships-of-the-line and six other vessels, commanded by Nelson, attacked and destroyed a combined French and Spanish fleet of 41 ships, including 33 ships-of-the-line, ultimately capturing 21 ships of the line and destroying another. Almost certainly the largest battle, at least until the American victory at Santiago in 1898, in terms of the damage and/or casualties inflicted by gunfire alone. One of the most decisive battles in history. Jutland, (1916)>. The largest battle in terms tonnage of ships engaged and in terms of the total tonnage of ships involved in a single action. Possibly the largest battle-line action, in terms of numbers of ships engaged. The largest surface action and the largest ship-to-ship action, in terms of the tonnage of the ships e Pearl Harbor, (1941). Six large Japanese aircraft carriers, the most powerful carrier force assembled up to that time, commanded by Chuichi Nagumo, made a surprise attack, with 353 aircraft in all, on the US Pacific Fleet's base of Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu. 2,400 US military/naval personnel and civilians were killed and 1,280 wounded. However, this event is not usually referred to as a "battle". Midway, (1942). The most decisive battle of the Pacific War. Midway was a crushing defeat for the Japanese navy, reversing the course of the Pacific War. bay of pigs invasion(1961)>The cuban army defeats the american invasion,Castro holds the presidency of the Cuban goverment and U.S. through lost his first war Ammius despite to the battle os sluys,england lost the war and the battle of trafalgar in my opinion is more important that the battle of nile. You say the battle of vyborg is less important.because isn,t a english battle no?That battle became russia in a world power . a failed English raid on Cadiz? The english armada the British navy did not have the aim of attacking cadiz,drake was wanting destroy the half of spanish ships,wean portugal of spain and conquest the azores for help the english pirates attack the spanish colonies. If drake,s plans were completed,the spanish empire entered into a major crisis.This is a great naval battle.

How long before war with Iran and how will that effect terror here ? Yahoo news So this is an invite to tea ? Or is it the buid up to war and once the US has taken up it's position(s) - bang? 2 hours, 34 minutes ago MANAMA (AFP) - A second US aircraft carrier has arrived in Middle Eastern waters as promised by US President George W. Bush in January amid an escalating crisis with nearby Iran over its nuclear program. The USS John C. Stennis and its accompanying strike group joined the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Sea of Oman but has not yet entered Gulf waters, the US Fifth Fleet said Tuesday from its base in Manama. The Stennis "entered the US 5th Fleet area of operations... to conduct maritime security operations in regional waters, as well as to provide support for ground forces operating in Afghanistan and Iraq," said a US statement. Bush on January 10 unveiled his new strategy for Iraq which included deploying a second aircraft carrier group and a Patriot anti-missile defense system "to reassure our friends and allies." The rest of the article . Again how will this effect civil rights and the level of terror here ? Washington accuses arch-foe Tehran of stoking the insurgency in Iraq and of seeking to develop a nuclear bomb, charges denied by the Islamic republic. Days after Bush's announcement, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the Stennis's redeployment was a signal to Iran, which, he said, has a "very negative" attitude. Iran has also been carrying out military exercises in the region, including test-firing missiles and building drones that military commanders boasted could hit the US Navy. This Is Not Honor Maybe - but they'd be American rocks and proud to be used as projectiles of freedom wouldn't they ? I can see a Hollywood movie coming out of this . The rock brigade of 2007 - I hope this doesn't confuse the crack heads too much
What is Kaohsiung City like today? Check out the below excerpt from Wikipedia about Kaohsiung City. Is this still true today? In recent years the city has made great strides in transforming itself from a primarily industrial city into a modern Asian metropolis, and several areas of the city, such as along the banks of the River Ai (Love River), have benefited from major beautification projects under the tenure of former mayor Frank Hsieh. The city is often known as Taiwan's "Harbor Capital" (港都) because of its close connection and heavy reliance on the ocean and maritime transportation.

Looking for NIQUET family ancestors in St Jean-d'Angely, Brizambourg, St-Loup France? Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find NIQUET family ancestors in the St Jean-d'Angely, Brizambourg, St-Loup area of France (Charente-Maritime). I have some information placing families in St-Loup and Brizambourg circa 1600 - 1666, but I can't find any info earlier than that. The few church and notary records I have don't link them to any parents or other ancestors. I can provide details as needed, but I wanted to throw out a general teaser just to find out if anyone out there knows anything about NIQUET in that area and time, and/or what resources/researchers I might be able to access to learn more. Thanks to all, Big Al Mintaka
