Cargo

The scene from the film On the Waterfront takes place inside the cargo hold of a cargo ship.

Also, they were mostly underwater and hard to spot. Both US and…

“Why do white men have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?” -Yali. Believed that cargo is the sign of genetic power, which the people of New Guinea consider that they are, the New Guineans view themselves that they should be the ones to receive the majority of the cargo instead of the Americans.

Mauss adds that the gestures associated with gift-giving, the mask of generosity and disinterestedness, are all mere fictions to appease our sense of propriety.

shoreline. The blast leveled nearly 1,000 buildings on land. The Grandcamp explosion destroyed the Monsanto Chemical Company plant and resulted in ignition of refineries and chemical tanks on the waterfront. Falling bales of burning twine from the ship's cargo added to the damage while the Grandcamp anchor was hurled across the city. Two sightseeing airplanes flying nearby had their wings shorn off, forcing them out of the sky. People felt the shock 250 miles away in Louisiana. The explosion…

stock and reduce its ordering frequency which will result in freight costs saving. Air shipment can still be used but only for hot or emergency deliveries but not on a regular basis. Certain products are often needed immediately without notice; air cargo will be the perfect mode of transport in such situation.
