Sailing on a Sea of Songs final Paper
This document provides an overview of different ship designs during the Golden Age of Sail. Merchant ships had flat bottoms and wide beams for cargo capacity and stability. Clipper ships were fast vessels with sharp lines and thin deep keels for speed and maneuverability. Whaling ships needed to be fast but also carry small boats to hunt whales, so they had designs like pivoting hull sections to aid rowing. Naval vessels focused on combat, not crew comfort, pressing men into unwilling service. The document explores ship designs through excerpts of historical documents and sea songs describing ships' purposes and features.
The Old Man and the Sea.pptx
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway tells the story of an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago who has gone 84 days without catching a fish. He convinces his young apprentice Manolin to let him go fishing far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks an enormous marlin. After a grueling three-day battle, Santiago manages to kill the great fish but then sharks eat it before he can bring it to shore, leaving only its skeleton. Though discouraged, Santiago's determination and spirit remain unbroken.
Olauda Equiano
1. Olaudah Equiano was born around 1745 in what is now southeastern Nigeria and was kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery.
2. He was sold and transported across the Atlantic, experiencing the horrors of the Middle Passage. He eventually purchased his freedom after years of enslavement.
3. Equiano wrote an influential autobiography in 1794 about his experiences, which helped advance the abolitionist movement in Britain, America, and elsewhere. Though he did not live to see it, his work contributed to the eventual end of slavery.

Text is NOT mine. I borrowed from History.com, added a couple of details and images found in different sites thanks to Google.
The rime of the ancient mariner
The document provides context and summaries about Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". It discusses that the poem tells the story of an ancient mariner who kills an albatross and is subsequently cursed to wander telling his story. Key events include the arrival of the albatross, the mariner's suffering after killing it, the arrival of water snakes in the sea, his meeting with a hermit who prays for him, and the positive changes in the mariner's mind by the end of the poem.
haniesh
The document discusses several ships and aircraft that have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle over the past 500 years, estimated to be between 200-1000 incidents. Some of the earliest disappearances include Christopher Columbus' Santa Maria in 1492 and the USS Cyclops in 1918 which was a US Navy ship that disappeared with 309 crew. Other notable disappearances discussed are the Marie Celeste found abandoned in 1872, the USS Scorpion nuclear submarine in 1968, and the SS Marine Sulphur Queen cargo ship in 1963. Possible natural explanations proposed for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle include issues with compasses, methane hydrates, the Gulf Stream and freak waves, and human error.

(1) In 1866, a mysterious sea creature has been sinking ships, so a US warship is sent to investigate. On board are Professor Aronnax, his assistant Conseil, and harpooner Ned Land. (2) They discover the creature is actually a high-tech submarine, commanded by Captain Nemo. Nemo allows the men to stay onboard and observe sea life, as long as they return to their cell when asked.

When Nemo attacks another ship, the men see an opportunity to escape, despite the dangers.
Urbano lugrís
Urbano Lugrís was a Galician painter born in 1908 who loved the sea. He painted many beautiful seascapes and murals depicting ships, sea life, and legends. While he never formally studied art, he is considered one of Galicia's greatest painters. Some of his murals can still be seen in places like A Coruña, Vigo, and Malpica. His paintings captured his passion for the sea and Galician culture. Lugrís continued painting until his death in Vigo in 1973.
