It was the age of the great humanist scholars, of poets, architects, painters, inventors, scientists, sculptors, and doctors--and of one of the most ferocious and costly arms races in history. Beginning with the first marriage of guns and ships in the early fifteenth century, the monarchs of Europe launched a desperate competition to rule the waves with ever larger, more powerful, and more seaworthy warships. Driven by continuous advances in gunfounding technology, this deadly contest gave rise, almost immediately, to national navies, led to great leaps in shipbuilding and design, and produced revolutions in naval strategy and tactics. The price of these advances was always enormous and, in some cases, ruinous.In Sovereigns of the Sea, historian Angus Konstam charts the dramatic course of this all-out struggle for maritime supremacy. He explains why the very notion of placing heavy artillery aboard a sailing vessel posed daunting challenges to Renaissance shipbuilders, and why trial-and-error efforts to overcome these challenges could easily result in disaster. Citing shipbuilding efforts in England, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and even Scotland, Konstam examines the two centuries of politics, technology, ambition, and savage sea battles that produced the ultimate military sailing vessel--the ship-of-the-line.Beginning with Henry V's Grace à Dieu, a colossus of its day, Konstam tells the tales behind a series of "super-ships," state-of-the-art behemoths designed to overpower any vessel that stood in their way. From Scotland's never-tested Great Michael and Sweden's ill-fated Vasa to Henry VIII's fearsome Regent and Charles I's Sovereign of the Seas, their stories follow the path of shipbuilding, politics, and technological innovation during this crucial period of world history. Also key to this evolution was the experience of ships' captains and crews who, with no formal instruction in the use of these powerful new weapons, had to learn under the worst possible conditions--in the heat of battle at sea. Konstam's accounts of this perilous on-the-job training bring the thrill, horror, and confusion of sea battle to life.Complete with a fascinating description of the raising of Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose, whose amazingly well-preserved hull and interior have changed modern understanding of Renaissance ship building, Sovereigns of the Sea is compelling reading for anyone interested in the Renaissance, naval and military history, and the age of fighting sail.

In the midst of the Blizzard of 1978, the tanker Global Hope floundered on the shoals in Salem Sound off the Massachusetts coast. The Coast Guard heard the Mayday calls and immediately dispatched a patrol boat. Within an hour, the Coast Guard boat was in as much trouble as the tanker, having lost its radar, depth finder, and engine power in horrendous seas. Pilot boat Captain Frank Quirk was monitoring the Coast Guard's efforts by radio, and when he heard that the patrol boat was in jeopardy, he decided to act. Gathering his crew of four, he readied his forty-nine-foot steel boat, the Can Do, and entered the maelstrom of the blizzard.Using dozens of interview and audiotapes that recorded every word exchanged between Quirk and the Coast Guard, Tougias has written a devastating, true account of bravery and death at sea, in Ten Hours Until Dawn.

Die deutsche Kühlschiffsflotte war nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg lange Jahre eine der führenden der Welt. Die "Bananenjäger" mit ihrem yachtähnlichen Aussehen erregten in jedem Hafen besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Heute befinden sich Kühlschiffe im harten Wettbewerb mit den Containerlinien, wobei guter Service und kurze Transitzeiten den Reefern zumindest mittelfristig ein Fortbestehen garantieren.Vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis heute wurden knapp 400 dieser Schiffe von deutschen Reedereien betrieben. Die Autoren sind zwei ausgewiesene Schifffahrtsexperten, Karl-Heinz Hilbig und Karsten Kunibert Krüger-Kopiske, dessen neun bisher erschienenen Bücher vor allem, aber nicht nur, durch seine perfekten Zeichnungen auffielen. In diesem Buch stellen die Autoren jedes der über 400 deutschen Kühlschiffe mit technischen Daten, Lebensläufen, Zeichnungen und Fotos vor.Die Geschichte jeder deutschen Kühlschiffsreederei ist ebenso Bestandteil des Buches wie Texte zu wichtigen geschichtlichen, technischen und wirtschaftlichen Hintergründen, die zum Verständnis der Branche beitragen. Mehr als 50 teilweise unveröffentlichte Fotos und Gemäldereproduktionen runden das Werk ab.

A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of the sea-revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world's waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human. The Sea and Civilization is a mesmerizing, rhapsodic narrative of maritime enterprise, from the origins of long-distance migration to the great seafaring cultures of antiquity; from Song Dynasty human-powered paddle-boats to aircraft carriers and container ships. Lincoln Paine takes the reader on an intellectual adventure casting the world in a new light, in which the sea reigns supreme. Above all, Paine makes clear how the rise and fall of civilizations can be linked to the sea. An accomplishment of both great sweep and illuminating detail, The Sea and Civilization is a stunning work of history.

Denne bog handler om Preben Louw Pedersen. Navnet siger måske ikke så mange så meget. Men rigtig mange har stiftet bekendtskab med de små servicebusser med lav indstigningshøjde, der kørte mange steder i Danmark fra begyndelsen af 1990'erne og frem. Og det var netop Preben Louw Pedersen, der stod bag udviklingen af servicebusserne. I bogen følger vi Preben Louw Pedersen gennem det meste af hans liv. Han var som ung ingeniør ansat hos flere virksomheder. Senere kom han videre til Vognfabrikken Scandia i Randers, som i 1975 købte Aabenraa Karrosserifabrik og udnævnte Preben Louw Pedersen til direktør. Han og familien flyttede til Aabenraa, men Preben Louw Pedersen syntes, at Scandia styrede ham for stramt. Derfor begyndte han i 1979 for sig selv og året efter oprettede han sin egen karrosserivirksomhed, Alubus. Desværre førte flere uheldige omstændigheder til, at det ikke gik så godt, og i 1982 gik Alubus konkurs. Efter kort tid kom Preben Louw Pedersen i 1983 til DAB i Silkeborg. Her kom han omsider på rette hylde, idet han fik lov til at stå for flere udviklingsprojekter, deriblandt servicebussen. Desværre blev Preben Louw Pedersen ramt af sygdom i 1987. Idérigdommen blev heldigvis ikke ramt og for at aflaste ham, blev der ansat en ung ingeniør, Lars Overgaard. Sammen fortsatte de to udviklingsarbejdet og efter Preben Louw Pedersens død i 2000, fortsatte Lars Overgaard arbejdet.

Engang for ikke så længe siden kunne passagerskibe være så smukke, at nogle af dem var en fryd for øjet: Det gjaldt især dem, der blev bygget på danske værfter i perioden fra 1910 til 1970, og som havde de designede og karakterfulde linjer, der udstrålede styrke og skønhed.Der var ofte tale om passagerskibe som også kunne medtage fragt, og de hed næs­ten alle sammen M/S til fornavn. De kunne ikke medbringe ret mange biler, de havde fast stævn og almindeligvis intet bildæk. Men disse skibe var indrettet på en sådan måde, at det var behageligt, - ja endda en god oplevelse for passagererne at være ombord på, selv om rejsen kunne tage flere døgn.De bevægede sig dygtigt i søen, og øjet fik sit i form af elegant og karakterfuld formgivning af skibet såvel udvendigt som indvendigt. Sørejsen på sådan et fartøj var en oplevelse, begyndelsen på ferien og et minde for livet.Flere af de skibe, som "sejler" i denne bog lever op til ovenstående.

It is hard to think of the passenger liners from the golden era of Mediterranean cruising without also conjuring the nostalgic, dream-like vision of azure-blue waters, bright sunshine and swimming pools with clusters of umbrellas and sunbathing passengers.

En skibsdrengs første møde med Østen: Den femte dag passerede vi Ceylon, og mens jeg kiggede på øens høje bjerge blev jeg pludselig te-tørstig. Kort efter blev der helt mørkt, og et enormt uvejr med mange lyn og torden ramte os, men søen var nærmest blik, så det gav ingen søgang. Derefter sejlede vi ind i Den Bengalske Bugt i fint vejr, og et par dage senere kunne jeg allerede lugte/dufte land. Det var en af mine rejsers største oplevelser. Østens krydderier hang i luften, allerede før vi så de første måger. Samtidigt lyste bølgerne smukt af morild. Vi tog lods ombord kl. 18.00 og lå for anker på Reden tre kvarter senere. Det lykkedes at få en servicebåd i land. Som jeg noterede i dagbogen: ”Til aften endelig i land til Østens mystik, hvor vi så mange smukke piger og kørte i Ritzau”. Bogen her indeholder otte fortællinger om livet på de store have om bord på ØK´s skibe i 1960´erne. De er skrevet af tidligere ØK-ansatte: kaptajner, styrmænd, maskinmestre, stewardesse og skibs- drenge. De omhandler især de oplevelser og den dannelse, livet til søs har givet dem, og den betydning det har fået for deres videre færd i livet. Herudover er der en beretning om Museum Silkeborgs udstilling ”Fra dreng til mand. Dannelsesrejse på verdenshavene” om en kammer-drengs tre rejser med ØK.

Da Kalvehavebanen åbnede i 1897, stiftede en kreds af mønboer Møns Dampskibsselskab, der sejlede fra Stege til Kalvehave med dampskibet "Stege". For mønboerne var det vigtigt, at forbindelsen blev stabil - også når farvandene frøs til. Og at forbindelsen blev styret fra Møn - og absolut ikke fra Sjælland. I begyndelsen var det primære at få post og gods frem. Passagertrafik spillede en sekundær rolle - at rejse var ikke en dagligdags begivenhed. Men uanset hvad der blev transporteret, var ruten Møns livsnerve igennem mange år. Vi følger selskabet fra den første tur over en årrække med fremgang og til de sidste år, hvor konkurrencen fra bilerne prægede selskabets dagligdag. I 1934 måtte det give op og realisere sine aktiver. I de godt 37 år selskabet sejlede, nåede det at anskaffe tre dampskibe, en motorbåd, et motorskib og en pram. Det var nok det sidst anskaffede dampskib "Codan", som de fleste forbinder med Møns Dampskibsselskab. Skibet var efter forholdene et stort og godt skib, men også meget dyrt at sejle med. Selskabet forbindes også med Steges - nu nedrevne - karakteristiske havnebygning kaldet Havneslottet. Det var ud for denne bygning skibene lagde til. I bogen omtales også diverse havneforhold i Stege og i Kalvehave. Denne bog gør ikke krav på at være en skibsteknisk redegørelse, men er en gennemgang af dagligdagen og milepælene i dampskibsselskabets historie.
