Abstract:
AbstractSir Ernest Shackleton bought the Norwegian sealer Foca 7 in 1921 for his third Antarctic expedition and renamed it Quest. He died aboard the ship in South Georgia in January 1922, but Frank Wild took over the leadership and completed the expedition after the delayed start. The vessel returned to Norwegian ownership in 1923 but kept the name Quest. In the 1920s and 1930s, in-between sealing voyages, she was chartered out for various scientific or hunting expeditions, mostly to S valbard or the east coast of Greenland, during which many well-known explorers trod her decks, including Gunn

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Atlantic has conducted many dedicated seakeeping and structural load trials on the Canadian Navy research ship CFAV Quest and on several Canadian Navy warships. Typically, wave buoys have been deployed to measure seaway wave characteristics; however, there has been an ongoing interest in evaluating shipboard wave measurement systems. These systems have some advantages over wave buoys for short-term trials and are needed for longer-term sea trials and to provide wave input data for tactical and real-time ship operator guidance systems.

It is a complex but important issue to have a shower for the sailors in a luxury passenger liner whose working and living staff are all to be held in a closed environment. It is hard to decide what kind of showering mode can satisfy the sailors’ showering need, as well as using discrete event theory to handle it because of the mass of people and their behavior’s randomicity. A method based on the theory of discrete event to simulate the showering mode in the ship has been brought out by using the software of QUEST, and the design of the bath system of the ship has been proved to be with usabil

Abstract:
The best-selling Austrian novelist Vicki Baum took ship alone for America in 1932 but emigration soon became exile for the Jewish author. The feeling of ‘Heimatlosigkeit’, or rootlessness, which oppressed Baum at that time was emotional and spiritual rather than physical. Child of a Jewish immigrant family in the anti Semitic society of nineteenth-century Vienna, Vicki Baum had long questioned the loci and the politics of Heimat, a German term whose significance far exceeds the simple definition of home or homeland. Cut loose from Heimat, she began her travels to far-away destinations, seeking

The opening of the seaport torgsins became part of a nationwide centralization of hard-currency operations to provide for industrial development. According to its authorities, Torgsin represented the world's first attempt at “a centralized supply of foreign ships.” Documents, howe

Abstract:
This chapter discusses critically the modern definition of hospitality and mobility. As a social institution, hospitality encourages contact with strangers. This creates a latent risk because host and guests are not familiar with the intention of the other. In the luxury of shipping lines and cruises, the sense of hospitality as an inter-tribal pact of protection is neglected. Reducing the displeasure to zero degrees, cruises are disciplinary mechanisms of control and indoctrination that hide “the other” who is not legally authorized to be on board.

In the first half of 1931, food products accounted for 80 percent of Torgsin's sales.

With the increased quest for greener shipping, reducing the speed of ships has obtained an important role as one of the measures to be applied toward that end. Already speed has been important for economic reasons, as it is a key determinant of fuel cost, a significant component of the operating cost of ships. However, as emissions are directly proportional to fuel consumed, speed is also very much connected with the environmental dimension of shipping. So when shipping markets are in a depressed state and “slow- steaming” is the prevalent practice for economic reasons, an important side benef
