Extractions: VERSION FRANÇAISE Two days after the shipwreck of Titanic, in 1912, a boat left the Canadian port of Halifax with a disaster cargo : blocks of ice, products for embaumer and of the coffins. Two weeks later, Mackay-Bennett was back with 190 corpses fished out in the Atlantic. The majority of the bodies were not claimed and were buried in Halifax. Mackay-Bennett was the first of the three ships sent on the zone of the shipwreck, which made more than 1500 died. Together, the three buildings were to tear off 328 bodies with frozen water. When Mackay-Bennett " the ocean was covered, as far as the eye can see, of remains and of corpses which rolled on water like stoppers ", wrote Arminias Wiseman , one of the men of crew. The cranes of Mackay-Bennett , normally used to go down from the underwater cables, hauled the bodies out of water. Other corpses were fished out by sailors on board small boats. " It was a hard and dangerous task, explains Dan Conlin , conservative of the maritime Museum from the Atlantic with Halifax. The bodies were surrounded by drift ice. "

Extractions: Special to The Times E-mail this article Print this article Search web archive We can argue as much as we like about single payer, the marketplace and universal coverage or we can sit down and talk about our impending health-care shipwreck. Front pages from Chicago, D.C. and Seattle are the same: depleted Medicaid budgets; more uninsured and unemployed; meltdown in mental-health care clinics and hospitals. At 14 percent of the GDP, health care is the Titanic of the American economy, but its lower holds of Medicaid and public programs are being sliced wide open by budget cuts and rate reductions. And like the Titanic, it is not just these lower holds that will be flooded. Take a look. Storm warnings With the second-highest rate of unemployment in the country, it stands to reason that we could have the second-highest rate of uninsured in the country. This means people will either go without insurance, or qualify for Medicaid. But Medicaid is now cutting existing programs. Now, even people who qualify for these programs can't get on them, because the state (along with 35-36 others) has no money. More uninsured. To deal with these increases, employers will do one of three things, if not all three: drop dependents from coverage; reduce benefits; and have the employee pay more for premiums, co-payments and deductibles. Some may drop health-care benefits altogether. More uninsured and underinsured.

Extractions: On May 21st 1996, the steamer 'MV Bukoba' sank on Lake Victoria, 30 kilometers from Mwanza. The steamer had a capacity to carry 430 passengers, but as many as 1,000 are feared to have died, trapped in their cabins in the overloaded ferry. The manifest shows 443 passengers in the first and second class compartments but the third class compartment which is cheaper and therefore carries more people had no manifest. 114 survivors have been officially listed but the exact toll is unclear.

http://www.loquinar.com.au/basshill/ricklatimer/shipwreck.html

Extractions: TWENTY YEARS on, is a review of the above legislation called for? Should we critically look at what has been accomplished, including successes and failures to determine the legislation's relevance to the community? And just what has been gained for divers, being the people usually responsible for locating wrecks in the first place? Is a review called for? I believe so. Since the first Europeans found Australia, most trade was carried out by sea and that maritime history which includes 1oses and disasters at sea is well worth preserving for future generations. With the introduction of scuba diving in the late 1950's divers naturally discovered wrecks. Exploring them and removing items became popular over the next 20 years with some divers building extensive collections. Tbe sad part, in hindsight, was no records were kept of what was taken, the relevant wreck, or who had the item, apart from the avid wreck diver. Subsequently many items, some possibly historic or relevant to our maritime history have now disappeared or are lying forgotten in some garage and will never be recovered. By 1976 divers were researching wrecks on a ever increasing scale, particularly the Dutch wrecks in Western Australia and, if the truth is known, the bullion carried in those wrecks was the real catalyst behind the Historic Shipwreck Legislation and also responsible for the "nightmare" that divers and statutory authorities still find themselves embroiled in today.

Wess' BookLink - Shipwrecks And Treasure Books
sinking alone is compelling enough to make any reader wonder why the Central Americasinking isn't synonymous with shipwreck in this titanichappy age.
http://www.rexmwess.com/booklink/shipsbk.html

Extractions: In 1857, the Central America, a sidewheel steamer ferrying passengers fresh from the gold rush of California, laden with 21 tons of California gold, encounters a severe storm well off the Carolinas and sinks, carrying 400 passengers and her treasure with her. She was gone for 132 yearsuntil 1989, when a vessel sailed into Norfolk, VA, fat with a billion dollars in salvaged gold coins, bullion and artifacts. This is the story of Central America's sinking, Tommy Thompson, the man who raised her treasures from over 8,000 feet down, and how he did it. The story of the steamer's sinking alone is compelling enough to make any reader wonder why the Central America sinking isn't synonymous with "shipwreck" in this Titanic-happy age. This is THE best gold salvage book of all time. With 250 color photos and illustrations, "America's Lost Treasure" chronicles the sinking and recovery of the Central America, the Ship of Gold. It is the coffee-table companion to Gary Kinder's " Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea ", and neither book is really complete without the other. The awesome pictures are exactly what the numismatic world has been clamoring for since the discovery of the SS Central America first hit the news in 1988. The lavish use of 19th century pictures, drawings, and accounts of the sailing and sinking of the SS Central America add to the records of the search and salvage of her wreck. But far the most impressive thing in this book are the stunning pictures of the tons of gold coins and bars both scattered on the deep ocean floor and arranged for display after recovery.

Extractions: T I T A N I C M U S I C A L I N D E X Historical Overview: The mighty steamship R.M.S. Titanic is the subject of much interest, emotion and discussion. We have gathered the following facts and figures on the majestic ocean liner and its unforgettable voyage. The Titanic was owned by the White Star Line and built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Ireland at a cost of $7.5 million. She was launched on May 31, 1911; concluded her short trials by April 2,1912 and arrived in Southampton at midnight April 3. She was the largest ship in the world, at 46,329 gross tons, and she was also one of the fastest. The Titanic was 882.5 feet long, 92.5 feet beam (wide), and was 60.5 feet from the waterline to the boat deck. The Titanic was licensed to carry 2603 passengers and a crew of 944 (3547 total). On April 10, 1912, she began her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York with 2228 passengers and crew aboard, but there was lifeboat accommodation for no more than 1178. At 11:40PM on the night of April 14, traveling at a speed of 20.5 knots, she struck an iceberg on her starboard bow. At 2:20AM she sank, approximately 13.5 miles east-southeast of the position from which her distress call was transmitted. Lost at sea were 1,523 people, including passengers and crew. The 705 survivors, afloat in the ship's twenty lifeboats, were rescued within hours by the Cunard Liner, Carpathia.

http://octopus.gma.org/space1/titanic.html

Extractions: The story of the Titanic and the iceberg has grown into a legend of the sea. It took her discovery in 1985 to begin to find the truth behind the myth. One of the things that makes the Titanic so fascinating is that she represented the best of technology when she set sail on her ill-fated voyage in 1912, and it took the best of technology in the form of sonar, satellite tracking, and deep-dive technology to locate her grave 73 years later. In the early 1900's, waterborne transportation was the norm; today, satellites are taken for granted by our society. But we tend to forget the immense effort that these two technologies require to operate to their maximum potential. Until recently, the technology did not exist to locate, photograph, and explore this ship that rested two and a half miles down on the ocean floor. On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York. At that time, she was the largest and most luxurious ship ever built. At 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912, she struck an iceberg about 400 miles off Newfoundland, Canada. Although her crew had been warned about icebergs several times that evening by other ships navigating through that region, she was traveling at near top speed of about 20.5 knots when one grazed her side. Less than three hours later, the

http://www.shipwreck.net/gsarticle07.html

Extractions: Editors Note: The world of shipwreck exploration has grown from romantic fantasy to a serious underwater contracting industry. IN this issue's column, ProSEA's Greg Stemm advocates the need for professionalism and credibility among contractors already engaged in the industry, and advises those not involved to pay attention to a rapidly growing and profitable venture. To most serious offshore technology companies, shipwrecks are like auto accidents. You know you shouldn't let them distract you, but they are so fascinating, it's hard to ignore them. Most of my friends in the deep ocean business have their favorite story about the crazy guy that called up and offered them the opportunity to get involved with a shipwreck project that sounds something like this: "Nazi Gold" (We really had a witness that saw the gold being loaded! He died last month, but); "Lost Spanish Treasure" (We found documents in the archives that prove everyone else has looked in the wrong place); "The Secret Cargo" (These priceless jewels were so secret that no one else ever even knew they existed!)
