Cruise ship holidays have been popular for many years where instead of being tied to one destination for your holiday you get to experience many more types of cultures and countries. Cruise ship holidays aren’t just spent on the decks of the cruise liner as many cruises have multiple stop offs at ports along the way, allowing you to set foot on land to experience the local atmosphere, do some gift shopping and other activities.
When people think of cruise ship holidays there are usually two main companies that come to mind: P&O and Cunard. Both have their advantages and their destinations can be similar with each one having a few different options compared to the other. Their cruise ships themselves are similar too in some ways but generally their fleet will have many different ships that can cater to different crowds. (more…)
Discovered in China in the 4th century the compass has been used as anything from a feng shui device to a navigational instrument for seafarers to a guide for engineers. What started out as lodestones (an iron oxide that aligns itself to the north and south) in a bowl of water has now become a compact magnetized device helping to further exploration and design. How many uses does this seemingly small device have?
Exploration and discovery
Though it started out as a feng shui device, the compass has helped further exploration of different lands, people’s and ways of life. Before the discovery of the compass, seafarers were only able to go as far out to sea as they could still see their land. Seafarers had only before used the sun and constellations to guide them to faraway places but that could become a problem when poor weather arrived and they were unable to use the sun for direction. Without the compass we may never have known how big the Earth really is.
It has also been instrumental in allowing for importing and exporting goods to other countries. Never before had people tasted foods not local to their land and had access to foreign goods. This created wealth for countries if they had local goods that others wanted and allowed the sea merchants to arrive safely with goods. It is also credited with speeding up deliveries and making more money for countries. When guided only by the sun and stars often ships would never arrive to their destinations. (more…)
