The year was 1843, and the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was bustling with excitement. All over the city, people were running errands, setting up shops, and carrying on with their daily lives. For soon, an important boat would enter the harbor,and it would take its passengers on a journey to the Caribbean Islands. I, David Carson, was 38 years old and employed as one of the many carpenters in the city, but I would be among one of these passengers. I was searching for some new environment in…

Colonel Burns was brought on board at Angaros' request as well as eight other men from his old unit. The team that stormed the building would consist of sixteen, himself, Burns, eight of his men and six men and two woman from the defenders, the name by which the secret organization called itself. Although Burns outranked him, Angaros was in charge of the operation and given a six star insignia on his new uniform. Another twenty would guard the exterior and prevent any snorpians from escaping.…

An explosion rocked the boat, sending unseen odds-and-ends rolling about the cabin. A girl, wearing her nightgown, clung to a support beam. As the boat steadied—or came as close as it could to steadying—the girl scrambled to gather her things. Flashes of light lit up the night sky, and more explosions mixed with the yells of the crewmen fighting off the opposing ship. The girl had just stuffed some necessities into a carpet bag when she heard loud footsteps making their way toward her cabin.…

Bobbing and weaving through crowds of worried parents, children, and loved ones, my anxiety worsened at the thought that I might not make it off this ship alive. I needed to know some details of what is going on, therefore I’m making my way to the captain’s headquarters. If I tell him that I know his daughter, even if I believe she’s eerie, which I won’t mention, he might feel more open to informing me on what’s going on. Just a few feet away from the captain’s living space, I hear the wails…

Only a little more than half of the people who try out for the Coast Guard are physically in shape for the challenges they need to face in training. Rescue swimmers should not feel safe in the water, however they should have confidence ("Rescue Swimmer"). In fact, the Coast Guard makes it very hard for females to be in the Coast Guard because the women have to be fully capable of everything the males are doing. The Coast Guard requires everyone to be physically fit, be able to participate in…

Aquatic Defense The United States has a few branches of the military. They all have important jobs that make them unique, but they also all have similarities. Two branches that are often debated are the Navy and the Coast Guard. The United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard have been said to be the same branches by some, and completely different by others. I found that the Navy and the Coast Guard are actually not too similar but both are very unique and important, although the Navy…

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. They had finally arrived back from the snorkeling trip on the boat. It was a long journey on that ship. They set off sail from the port one week ago, when they were supposed to be out on sea for one day. They left the island one week ago to go snorkeling in the beautiful coral reefs of the Caribbean. It took them aground two hours to get the coral reef. The boat had finally arrived and everyone was so excited, it was so…

“Captain, hatch three is open.” A girl says, peering over her terminal. A tall silhouette stands before her, gripping the side railing, peering through the window out into space. “Don’t-” Before the man could speak, the girl interrupts. “Call you captain, sir?” Turning around, the man squints his eyes. “Where is everybody?” “They’re eating, Captain.” The girl gazes at the man, but only for a short second. The man known as the Captain returns to the window, sighing. Outside, he saw…

We all very much aware that travels aren't exactly sheltered nowadays. In any case managing darkened passages and filthy toilets can gauge up to what the 850 travelers of the Sultan of the Seas experience in Stephen Coonts' most recent novel, "Pirate Alley." They're caught by Somali pirates who undermine to murder everyone on board in the event that they're not repaid 200 American dollars. What's more to show they mean business, the pirates off a couple of the Sultan's passengers. As frightful…

Capitan Phillips is an exciting thriller/drama based on the true events of a sea Capitan that was help hostage by Somali Pirates. Capitan Phillips was a great movie from the beginning to the end. It always had some sort of action or emotional thriller happening on screen to keep the audience entertained and tuned in. But where the movie really shined was with how accurately it portrayed real life. Another thing that this movie did very well was have nice combination of action and suspense.…
