The historic War of 1812 Battle of Crysler's FarmFergus Ducharme
A historic battle in the War of 1812 between the British Armies and Canadian Militias versus the formidable United States Armed Forces. The American's plan was to invade Canada and force the British to leave North American once and for all. Well, guess what! The British and Canadians won not only the battle but the war too! One of the first times US Forces lost a war! And the bonus is that the British and Canadians, having occupied large swathes of the United States - especially Washington, DC which they, in fact, torched - burning the Hall of Congress and believe it or not the White House, too!

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.

As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer

SS Ponus shipwreck in Falmouth Bay Cornwall
1. SS Ponus
The SS Ponus was a British Cargo Steamer of 5,077 tons, built in 1902 by
Russell & Co, Port Glasgow, Yard No 492. It was built for the Anglo-American
Oil Company of London as the SS KENNEBEC.
In 1912 she was purchased by Tank Storage & Carrying Company and in
1914 renamed to PONUS. In 1916 she was purchased by Standard
Transportation Company, Hong Kong.
On the 3rd November 1916 she ran aground off Swanpool Point in Cornwall
and was driven ashore at Gyllyngvase Beach, near Pendennis Point,
Falmouth.
Length = 123.4m, Beam = 15.9m, Draught = 8.4m, Tonnage = 5077 Gross.

2. Gale Force Winds
On November 3rd 1916, SS Ponus was nearing the end of her voyage. She
had been chartered by the Admiralty and was traveling from Trinidad to
Britain. While off of the coast of Cornwall, she encountered a gale. Her
anchor could not hold her in place and the British Oil steamer SS Ponus, was
driven ashore on Gyllyngvase beach, Falmouth in Cornwall. She then caught
fire.
All the crew were safely landed, with the aid of the Falmouth lifeboat.
Unfortunately, all attempts to get the ship off failed and she was stuck fast.
A subsequent High Court case was filed by the owners, for negligence over
anchorage. Thomas Jewell, an assistant examination officer at Falmouth, had
the case against him dismissed in court.
She broke in half in winds of 75 to 85 miles an hour during the great gale in
January 1917. The gale caused great coastal damage.

This photograph shows the wreck of the SS Ponus off Falmouth. A year and a
half later, in August 1918, Harris Brothers marine salvage company towed the
bow part into the docks and broke it up for scrap.

4. Overview about the Falmouth rescue
On the 3 November 1916, the tanker SS Ponus was stranded during a full
southerly gale in very heavy seas in Falmouth Bay. Some of her crew
reached the shore in the ship's boats but 19 sailors were taken off by
volunteers from the Falmouth lifeboat. The Second Mate of the Ponus
remained aboard, the tanker later caught fire so he improvised a raft which
after boarding, became pinned against the burning vessel.
Second Lieutenant Badger and Lieutenant Frank Stephens, of the Royal
Engineers and Royal Naval Reserves, went to the rescue in the rough seas in
a dinghy. They caught hold of the Second Mate, and brought him ashore tied
to the dinghy’s stern as it was too small to have him aboard.
In 1916 Silver Medals were awarded to Lt E Badger RE and Lt R Stephens
RNR, for the rescue in a 12ft dinghy of one man on 3 November 1916 in a
whole south south westerly gale and a very heavy sea, from the Ponus. The
lifeboat had launched to the vessel three times and rescued 19 men but the
second mate was left aboard. Before the lifeboat could reach the vessel again
the he jumped overboard as the vessel was on fire. It was impossible to get
him into the dinghy so he was tied to the stern and rowed ashore. Very great
risk was run in effecting the rescue.
