U-boat

Germany’s use of U-boats during the first world war is a very interesting and important topic. The U-boat, or undersea boat, was a very valuable weapon, the possessor of this weapon could virtually rule the waters. After the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, persuaded Germany to cease unrestricted underwater warfare. By spring of 1917 Germany had resumed this unrestricted underwater warfare. Why was this path chosen? The U-boat was a…

30 people aboard it. The rescue that reached them were aboard a four person capacity boat. The survivors were low enough to jump onto the rescue boat. The rescue team risked their lives by rescuing all 30 survivors at one time. On the last trip to rescue the survivors the rescue boat would have sank, if they would have added weight to the boat, so they fixed the problem by hooking a life raft to the back of the boat. All the situations the rescue team were faced with, they had to make instant…

that needs to be transported with a roof rack is a boat. Kayaks, canoes, even surfboards are simply impossible to transport inside your vehicle. Compared to an alternative method of transpotation, such as a trailer, a roof rack is substantially cheaper and easier to use. The only problem: where do you start in selecting a roof water rack? What kind of boat will you carry? The first step in the selection process is determining what kind of boat you carry. Many water racks are designed…

boarder beginner. The following are some steps on how to do it correctly. 1) Put the strap in loosest position and make sure it is at the front of the knee pad. 2) Lie on your stomach on the board with your hands in the palms-down grip. 3) Signal the boat driver to take the speed up slow. When the board begins to plane, start to pull your knees onto the knee pad. 4) Slowly slide or crawl on your knees until they reach the normal kneeling position. 5) As soon as you are in your comfortable…

past week or the plans for the next day. Of course, the girls were always trying to plan to go get out nails done, do a little shopping and then go out on the lake. Then the guys would shut that plan down really quick because they rather be on the boat instead of sitting in the scorching summer heat waiting on us. After the pointless bickering, us girls always got our way. So when the fire finally came to smoldering coals most everyone would go in for the night to go to sleep that way we would…

group project, in which we had to build three boats. It was the first project of the year, and it was a big part all of our grades. The boats could only be twelve centimeters by twelve centimeters at the most and could only be comprised of the materials provided in the class, tinfoil, two popsicle sticks, straws, tape, paper, etc. Each boat had to serve a different purpose, sail straight, hold thirty dice, or survive waves, and the group that built the boat that served its purpose the best…

finished teaching my favorite class; fourth period paddle boarding. I was playing a game of sharf with the rest of the Aquatics Staff under the rain fly. After a vigorous game of sharf, which I won, I was off to my next class. It was my fifth period small boat sailing class; a class I did not enjoy. I was not too thrilled about teaching sailing because the people you would teach would have to be engaged during instruction so they could learn how to sail properly. Along the breezy and sandy…

Innovation Humminbird has always been an innovator in fishing electronics and Minn Kota, another Johnson Outdoors company, is well-known for quality trolling motors for small boats.

This matrix highlights comparable…

lakes, canals and other waters is through the use of boats. Canoeing and Kayaking are two floating crafts that may take anyone to places in the waters that are even difficult to access by any other means. Canoes and kayaks maybe confusing to some but its easy really easy to distinguish one from the other. Kayaking and canoeing both require a paddle for propulsion and steering. The most noticeable difference is the structure of the boats. Kayaks have a covered deck while the canoes are…
