Book excerpt: As World War One drew to a close, Christen Smith left the Royal Norwegian Navy to start his own shipping company. After a stumbling start, he succeeded in creating a totally new shipping segment: heavy-lift transport. Christen Smith’s vessels became the industry standard for ships lifting and carrying locomotives, railway cars, river boats and other heavy cargo that needed to be transported from one continent to another. One hundred years later, Belships has sailed through wars, upswings and downturns. After leaving the heavy-lift trade almost fifty years ago, the company has been involved in a broad range of shipping activities. Today, Belships is a significant player in the dry bulk segment, pursuing an ambitious growth strategy. This is the story about the people, the ships and the many dramatic events that shaped one hundred years of shipping history. Per Arne Totland is a Norwegian writer of fiction and non-fiction books. He has previously been the owner and CEO of an Oslo-based consulting firm and a Senior Vice President with a global chemicals group. He started his career as a journalist and for several years was a reporter and news anchor with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).

Download or read book The Book of Old Ships written by Henry B. Culver and published by Dover Publications. This book was released on 1992 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the ships human beings have constructed to navigate the waters of the world — from a hollowed-out log sharpened at both ends to modern ocean liners weighing thousands of tons — those powered by the wind are among the most interesting and beautiful. In this classic review, noted maritime artist Gordon Grant has created 80 magnificent line illustrations of some of history's most important sailing ships, beginning with a graceful Egyptian galley (c. 1600 B.C.) and ending with a splendid five-masted clipper ship of 1921. Also depicted are a Roman trireme, a Viking longship, a sixteenth-century caravel, an East Indiaman of 1750, an early nineteenth-century brigantine, a New Bedford whaling bark, and dozens of lesser-known vessels, among them the galleass, carrack, buss, and flute. Henry B. Culver, well-known authority on naval history, has provided a detailed, meticulously researched text for each vessel, describing the materials and details of construction, how the ship's design matched its function, the period in which the vessel flourished, romance and lore surrounding the craft, and more. Naval historians and model shipbuilders will value this work as an excellent sourcebook and reference with much information on the evolution of sailing vessels, the origins of shipping, customs of the sea and other pertinent matters; sailing enthusiasts will find it a wonderful browsing book, offering an informative, handsomely illustrated look back at 3,000 years of sailing history.

CHAPTER III 1845 - 1846 THE PASSAGE TO LIVERPOOL. -- JACK AFLOAT AND ASHORE In due course the "Ariel " completed her lading. A new crew was shipped, this time for the long voyage, fifteen months being the limit of time as written in the articles, and the last of December, 1845, the year of the great famine in Ireland, we sailed for Liverpool, England. The voyage across the Atlantic was wild and stormy. Gale succeeded gale, with furious squalls of snow and hail, but being mostly from the western quarter, gave us a fair wind, before which the good ship scudded under close-reefed topsails and reefed foresail right royally, and although a very heavy sea was experienced, no damage was sustained; the "Ariel" proving herself a splendid sea boat. During the passage I never missed my watch on deck in all weathers. Abel, however, was not so fortunate, being confined to his berth the entire passage, and not until we were in St. George's Channel did he make his appearance on deck. The officers, being occupied in looking after the safety of the ship, gave very little attention to him, thinking no doubt, sick as he was, he was better below than on deck, in such weather as we were having. Arriving in the chops of the Channel, we passed a number of vessels, many of them showing the effects of the hard winter passage across. One, the " Concordia" of the line of New York Packet ships, that sailed before we did, had lost some of her spars, the cargo (grain) had shifted, and she was listed to port very badly. The following morning the ship was close in under Holyhead, Wales. It opened bright and sunny, though cool. The sea was smooth. The great headland, standing out in bold relief, with its quaint old windmills, and dotted with numerous dwellings, formed a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time there were no ships. Men did not know the meaning of the word; they did notwant them; and, for many, many centuries the sea-gulls had the ocean all to themselves. But boats areof very ancient date. Doubtless the first boats must have been constructed by the first men who dwelton the earth. They consisted, probably-for we are now in the land of conjecture-of stumps offallen trees, or bundles of rushes, seated astride of which the immediate descendants of our firstparents ferried themselves over small lakes and across rivers.Wet feet are not agreeable under any circumstances. We can conceive that prolonged voyagesperformed in this fashion-say several hundred yards or a mile-rendered those primitive marinersso uncomfortable, that they resolved to improve their condition; and, after much earnest thought, hit upon the plan of fastening several logs together by means of twigs, and thus they formed rafts.As time progressed, and men began to display wisdom in making tools of stone and in the mouldingof metal, we can imagine that they soon bethought themselves of flattening the surface of theirrafts; and then, finding them unwieldy and difficult to manage, no doubt, they hit upon the idea ofhollowing out the logs. Adzes were probably not invented at that time, so they betook themselves tothe element of fire-which is at the present day used by savage nations for the same purpose-andburned out the insides of their logs. Thus canoes sprang into being.But such canoes were clumsy and heavy, besides being liable to split; men therefore bethoughtthemselves of constructing a light framework of wood, which they covered with bark or skin. Thenartificers in iron invented saws; logs were ripped up; planks were formed; pitch oozed ready to handfrom the trees; with grass, perchance, they caulked the seams;-and soon the first boat floated on thewater-clumsy and tub-like, no doubt, but serviceable withal-and youths of a hundred years old, and full-grown men of two or three hundred, capered and shouted on the shore with delight at thegreat invention; while venerable patriarchs, of seven or eight hundred summers, gazed in wonder, with almost prophetic solemnity, and exclaimed that they had never before seen the like of that in allthe course of their long, long liv
