Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first fifty years of the twentieth century, ham radio went from being an experiment to virtually an art form. Because of the few government restrictions and the low monetary investment required, the concept of ham radio appealed to various people. More than just a simple hobby, however, ham radio required its operators to understand radio theory, be able to trace a schematic and know how to build a transmitter and receiver with whatever material they might have available. With the advent of World War II and the increased need for cutting-edge communications, the United States government drew upon the knowledge and skill of these amateur ham radio operators. This book explores the history of ham radio operators, emphasizing their social history and their many contributions to the technological development of worldwide communications. It traces the concept of relays, including the American Radio Relay League, from contacts as close as 25 miles apart to operators anywhere in the world. The book highlights the part played by ham radio in many of the headline events of the half century, especially exploration and aviation "firsts". The ways in which these primarily amateur operators assisted in times of disaster including such events as the sinking of the Titanic and the 1937 Ohio River flood, are also examined.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 150 years ago in the port city of Rotterdam a group of business companions and steamship pioneers had a bold vision: to establish a steamship connection that would be ?a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean? between The Netherlands and North America. They founded a company with two steamships in 1871 and although the company achieved some success it was dissolved two years later. In April 1873, a new company was established with four steamships. This company, ?Netherlands-American Steamship Company? (NASM), was better organised and financed, allowing it to quickly expand to offer steady and regularly scheduled services. In 1896 the company added ?Holland America Line? (HAL) to its name.00From 1873, 150 years of exciting maritime history followed, created by a versatile shipping company that would evolve into one of the world?s most successful cruise lines. Those 150 years are vividly described in this richly illustrated book which covers many topics readers will not find included in previous books about HAL.00Despite the challenges to the cruise line industry caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, Holland America is still on the rise. HAL creates new ?bridges across oceans? and reconnects current and future cruise guests to the company?s fleet of magnificent ships. Today, the same spirit of persistence of its founders remains the cornerstone of HAL?s corporate policy and will continue to guide it into the future.00This book, with a foreword by Gus Antorcha: President of Holland America Line, is the first volume in a set of five to be published during Holland America?s 2023 Jubilee Year.

Download or read book Ocean Liners written by Peter Newall and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A truly comprehensive publication, running the gamut from the first Atlantic sail-enhanced steamers to today’s remaining handful of combi-liners.” —Maritime Matters Before the advent of the jet age, ocean liners were the principal means of transport around the globe, and carried migrants and business people, soldiers and administrators, families, and lone travelers to every corner of the world. Though the ocean liner was born on the North Atlantic it soon spread to all the other oceans and in this new book the author addresses this huge global story. The account begins with Brunel’s Great Eastern and the early Cunarders, but with the rise in nationalism and the growth in empires in the latter part of the 19th century, and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, the colonial powers of Spain, France, and Germany soon established shipping lines of their own, and transpacific routes were opened up by Japanese and American lines. The golden age between the two world wars witnessed huge growth in liner traffic to Africa, Australia and New Zealand, India, and the Far East, the French colonies, and the Dutch East and West Indies, but then, though there was a postwar revival, the breakup of empires and the arrival of mass air travel brought about the swan song of the liner. Employing more than 250 stunning photographs, the author describes not just the ships and routes, but interweaves the technical and design developments, covering engines, electric light, navigation and safety, and accommodation. A truly unique and evocative book for merchant ship enthusiasts and historians.
