Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote the short story "A Shipwrecked Sailor" based on a true event. A Colombian sailor named Luis Alejandro Velasco was swept off his destroyer into rough seas during a voyage from Mobile, Alabama to Cartagena, Colombia. He found a life raft and climbed aboard while his four shipmates who fell in at the same time drowned. For 10 days, Velasco drifted in the Caribbean Sea without food or water, with his spirits and hopes rising and falling as planes flew overhead without noticing him. The story brought attention to the plight of the survivors and increased newspaper sales, but the Colombian government later shut down reporting on it.

A young Colombian sailor named Luis Alejandro Velasco was swept off his destroyer into rough seas during a voyage from Mobile, Alabama to Cartagena, Colombia. He found himself next to a life raft and climbed aboard. His four shipmates who fell in at the same time drowned as they tried to join him. For 10 days, Velasco drifted alone in the Caribbean Sea without food or water. His mood fluctuated between hope and despair as planes flew overhead without noticing him. He was the sole survivor from the shipwreck and struggled for 10 days on the raft before being rescued.
Shipwrecked sailor
Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a renowned Colombian author who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. He is best known for novels like One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. One of his early works was the story "A Shipwrecked Sailor" which he wrote as a newspaper series in 1995 and centered around a sailor who finds himself alone at sea after a shipwreck.
A shipwrecked sailor
Luis Alejandro Velasco was a sailor aboard a Colombian destroyer that was caught in heavy waves, causing eight crew members to be washed overboard. Velasco managed to find a raft and spent ten days adrift at sea without food before washing ashore on an unknown coast, later discovered to be Colombia. He was initially greeted with affection but later received military honors and money from publicity agencies for surviving his ordeal alone at sea on the raft. The story is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's first major work and tells of Velasco's experience of being shipwrecked and drifting for ten days before making it to shore.
A Shipwrecked Sailor presented by Bhavya AV
"The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the story of a man who is hopelessly lost at sea but miraculously survives for ten days without food or water and withstands the rough water.
A shipwrecked sailor
In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez’s account of that sailor’s ordeal.
Presentation1
This lesson plan introduces students to the story of a shipwrecked sailor through a video and discussion. The teacher asks students about their travel experiences and introduces Robinson Crusoe as another story of survival at sea. Students learn that the story they will focus on is about a real 20-year-old sailor named Luis Alejandro Velasco who was washed overboard during a storm in 1955 and clung to a life raft for 10 days. The first part of the story is then presented where the sailor recounts how the ship suddenly plunged into the abyss and disappeared, leaving him alone at sea clinging to crates.
Lauren Robinson's Christopher Columbus 5P Project
Christopher Columbus made four voyages to the Americas between 1492 and 1504. While he was not the first European to reach the Americas, as Vikings had visited centuries earlier, his voyages opened the way for European colonization. The Columbian Exchange that resulted had major impacts, including the transfer of plants, animals, diseases, and people between the Old World and the Americas. Columbus faced controversies over his governance in the Americas and treatment of indigenous people, and died in 1506 in Spain.

Colapesce legend
The Colapesce legend originates from 12th century southern Italy and tells the story of Nicola, nicknamed Colapesce for his ability to move in the sea. Colapesce spent all his time diving and exploring the sea, bringing back treasures, which annoyed his mother who cursed him to become like a fish. Over time his skin became scaly and his hands and feet like fins. King Roger tested Colapesce's abilities, having him retrieve objects from the sea, until asking him to bring back fire he saw underneath Sicily, which consumed Colapesce when he dove down to support a cracked sea column and save his beloved land from collapsing.
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The poem describes how sailors sometimes capture albatrosses for amusement. The majestic birds that once freely flew over the sea are now clumsy and struggle to walk on the ship's decks with their large wings dragging behind them. The poem compares the once graceful albatross to a poet, who is also out of place on land among hostile people, with his giant wings hindering his path, like the bird with its wings now useless.

Vasco da gama (1) ingles
Vasco da Gama was born around 1468-1469 in Sines, Portugal. He came from a seafaring family and devoted himself to a nautical career. In 1497, he was chosen to lead the first European expedition to sail directly from Portugal to India by sea. After numerous hardships, the fleet arrived in Calicut, India on May 20, 1498, having traveled over 8,500 miles in just under two years. Da Gama established trade relations and alliances between Portugal and parts of India. He returned to Portugal in 1499, becoming a wealthy and honored man. Da Gama led two more voyages to India in 1502 and 1524, solidifying Portugal's maritime empire

Week-3-Lesson-2-Pigafetta (1).pptx
Antonio Pigafetta was an Italian explorer who joined Ferdinand Magellan's expedition to the Spice Islands in 1519 and kept a journal documenting the voyage. The expedition departed Spain in 1519 and spent over a year navigating the treacherous Strait of Magellan before reaching the Philippines in 1521, where Magellan was killed in a battle. After further exploring the region, the expedition reached the Spice Islands and began the return voyage, with only one ship, the Victoria, making it back to Spain in 1522 and completing the first circumnavigation of the globe. Pigafetta's journal provided valuable information about the peoples, lands, and sea routes encountered on the historic three-year voyage.
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.
CAPT. GEO FLAVEL -- WRECK & PERIL OF THE GEN'L WARREN -- LONG FORM
The General Warren, a steamship owned by Abernethy & Clark, sank off the coast of Oregon after attempting to cross the Columbia River bar during a storm. The ship was overloaded with loose wheat cargo and took on water quickly. When it turned back to Astoria harbor, the ship became unmanageable in the strong tide and storm conditions. Captain George Flavel, the bar pilot, beached the ship on Clatsop Spit, but it was already breaking apart in the heavy surf. Many passengers and crew drowned in the sinking, though some were able to get to shore in the ship's one remaining lifeboat.
Death on the Mississippi
The Sultana suffered the worst maritime disaster in U.S. history when three of its boilers exploded in 1865, killing around 1,700 Union soldiers who were passengers. The overloaded steamboat was carrying nearly 2,300 people, six times its capacity, as it traveled up the Mississippi River. When the boilers exploded near Memphis in the early morning hours, the ship split in two and sank within minutes, with only two lifeboats and 76 life preservers for the massive loss of life. Despite being such a catastrophic event, the sinking of the Sultana received little media coverage and attention at the time and has been largely forgotten by history books.
Explorers'club
Saint Brendan was an Irish monk who may have traveled to the Americas in the 5th century, though this is considered a myth without physical evidence. Columbus obtained information about lands across the Atlantic from fishermen in England and Portugal who likely explored the waters off Canada and the Caribbean. While we don't know if Saint Brendan or others like the Welsh or Phoenicians reached America, Columbus appeared to have knowledge from European sailors.
Flying dutchman
The myth of the Flying Dutchman originates from 17th century Dutch folklore of a ghost ship doomed to sail the oceans forever. It is believed to have begun with a real Dutch ship that sank off the Cape of Good Hope in 1641. Many reported sightings of the ship occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries near the Cape of Good Hope. Explanations for sightings include optical effects like mirages that could make a real ship appear elevated in the air. The legend has inspired many cultural adaptations in art, literature, video games and amusement parks.
The legend of Cola pesce
Nicola, known as Cola Pesce, had a passion for the sea from a young age. After angering his mother by throwing caught fish back, she cursed him to become a fish. He grew fins, gills and scales and could live both in and under the sea. Cola Pesce had many adventures underwater, visiting other lands and meeting different people. His fame spread to the king, who tested Cola Pesce by having him retrieve a crown from the deep sea. When the king later asked him to bring back fire he saw supporting Sicily, Cola Pesce drowned trying to complete the task. According to the legend, he remains underwater, supporting the land between Messina and Catania on his shoulder
Ferdinand Magellan
Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522. While Magellan did not survive the journey, the expedition established several important geographic discoveries and accomplishments under his leadership, including determining that South America allowed passage to the Pacific Ocean, his naming of the Pacific Ocean, and being the first Europeans to reach South America's southern tip and land in the Philippines. The expedition's completion of the first global circumnavigation was ultimately achieved under the continued leadership of Juan Sebastian Elcano after Magellan's death.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
