especially women who may be pregnant, or become pregnant on the voyage, and for those women allowed to bring their young children with them to the penal colony. The medical care the convicts received aboard ship was far superior to any treatment they would have received on the mainland—free or in prison. Once the long voyage was over, survivors faced a new challenge. The first convicts that arrived had the additional burden of establishing a colony. They had to build shelters and figure out how to survive on the land. The initial colony established at Sydney Cove struggled when provisions ran low and good farmland for crops was still unavailable. They suffered from disease and were left near starvation when supplies ran low. It was only the arrival of the second flotilla of convict ships with much needed supplies that helped them survive. Once the colony was back on its feet they started building an infrastructure that allowed even more convicts to be shipped to the island and soon there were thriving colonies across Australia and nearby islands.…

When the first fleet of convicts arrived they took over all the indigenous people's land to make farms and to build towns. Life was difficult for some people but for others they did very well. After the first fleet of convicts came, people chose to come because they wanted to, they were called free settlers, then followed…

companies can greatly reduce costs of shipping across long distances or overseas, for continued production (Heubsch, 2013). However, for near-sourcing to work, companies must find locations closer to home, while still maintaining lower production costs. Many U.S. firms are looking to Mexico and South America for production, where products are relatively close to home and the hourly wages are low (Heubsch, 2013). Costs for shipping raw materials overseas is reduced and costs for labor…

Transportation as change throughout history from walking, riding donkeys, horses, camels to stagecoaches, boats, trains, automobiles, and airplanes.

Francisco’s travel pattern from driving to walking, bicycling and transit. However, there are still about 350,000 private vehicles in the city. Even they are not using as usual; they are a huge potential emission source. PEVSP is a way to replace these existing internal combustion vehicles to reduce GHG emissions and congestion while retaining people’s need for special mobility. The concerns about energy independence and climate change issues are growing rapidly all over the world. Energy…

Methods of transportation have changed from the first decade of the twentieth century to the first decade of the twenty first century. Although transportation has changed and developed over human history, and humans have traveled using various mediums, only the two aforementioned decades and three transportation methods will be taken into account here: railway, automobile, and aeronautic transportation. These three means of transportation are important because they have had an outstanding…
