The voyage, after all, was far from being a fabulous one — for this would have made it doubly precarious. And as for adventures, we naturally avoided these as far as possible.
LeviathanAdele M. MarshallLeviathan, thou noble ship,Thou mighty monarch of the seas,May thy stalwart form and mighty forceWar's desolating horrors ease.We view the grandeur of thy bulk,And gaze with wonder and with aweAt thy great magnitude and mightWhich surpass visions we foresaw.As now in peaceful anchor held,The waves caress thy sturdy bow:The ocean flirts and beckons theeTo sail away, away — and nowShe lures thee with her shining crest,But couldst thou see beneath the waveThe yawning jaws of cavern greedFrom which a God alone can save.She'll lure thee out into her midst,Then tantalize with storm and gale,But these mere trifles bring no fearAs ever on you sail.But deep within her somber soulThere lie devices horn of hate,In traitorous hearts and crafty mindsHell's strategies they propagate.And will there mechanisms harm?Will bomb or shot e'er rend thy bark?Will cries of horrors fill the airAs dangers peer from ocean dark?There is but One who knows thy fate;Within the hollow of His handThy safety lies. You can but waitAnd place thy trust in Beulah Land.We trust thee, ship, we give our sonsBy thousands. Will they fill thy halls?Oh bring them safe across the waveDespite the whirlpool, storms and squallsThe prayers and sobs from broken heartsWill follow as thy course is run.This prayer eternal, to heaven will rise —Thy will, not mine. Oh, God, lie done.Leviathan, thou ship of state,Sail on, sail on victorious.Crush thou the tools of hate.Come back with honors gloriousAnd bring with thee eternal peace.Peace with honor, without stain.And wear the crown Leviathan,Queen of the ocean's vast domain.
Through the generosity of the National Geographic Society, funds were made available to undertake the project. Melvin M. Payne, senior assistant secretary of the National Geographic Society, has been, from the beginning of the work through the completion of this report, most helpful, and a large measure Of credit must go to him. The University of California and the Smithsonian Institution con tributed to the project, chiefly in the form of scientific personnel and equipment. We were able to work at La Venta from mid-january to the latter part of May 1955. The actual excavations were carried on from the beginning Of February to mid-may; the initial 2 or 3 weeks were devoted to building camp and clearing the jungle from the part of the site we intended to work in; the last couple of weeks were devoted to filling in our excavations and to breaking camp. Technical personnel included, in addition to Drucker and Heizer, who were in charge of operations, Ing. Eduardo Contreras, assistant archeologist of the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, and Robert J. Squier, research assistant in archeology, Uni versity of California.
The roofs are wet with sweet, spring rain, The crocus-beds are purple-blue. The bowling-green looks very fresh, All newly washed by strong, March Showers. Its border sends forth slender shoots Of promise for the coming hours. But, 0 Great Chief, I cannot feel That radiant spring is here for me, Till round the green I watch you come In all your warlike panoply. Till up our terrace trim you steal Amid your shadowy host of braves, Spring is not here, though every bird Be trilling o'er its mating staves.
Civil engineers must assure that buildings have long and durable lives, and therefore structural assessment and repair are routinely required and must be performed with the utmost accuracy and professionalism. Assessment, Evaluation, and Repair of Concrete, Steel, and Offshore Structures presents the typical causes of structural failure and their mechanisms, discusses the most up-to-date methods for evaluation and structural assessment, and explains the best project management strategies from the feasibility stage through operations and maintenance. Numerous types of structures are examined and are further illustrated by relevant case studies. 銆€ Features: Examines the probability of several types of structural failure and includes reliability analysis.銆€ Presents best practices for predicting the structural lifetime for both onshore and offshore structures and reviews the most advanced methods for repair.銆€ Includes numerous practical case studies of structural failure and offers mitigation strategies depending of type of structure.銆€
This book examines the fire-resistant design of fixed offshore platforms. It describes the required loading, load combinations, strength and stability checks for structural elements. It also explains the design of tubular joints, fatigue analysis, dynamic analysis, and impact analysis, Fire resistance, fire, explosion and blast effect analysis, fire protection materials, and safety.

Advances in Renewable Energies Offshore is a collection of the papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Renewable Energies Offshore (RENEW 2018) held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 8-10 October 2018. The 104 contributions were written by a diverse international group of authors and have been reviewed by an International Scientific Committee. The book is organized in the following main subject areas: - Modelling tidal currents- Modelling waves- Tidal energy devices (design, applications and experiments)- Tidal energy arrays- Wave energy devices (point absorber, multibody, applications, control, experiments, CFD, coastal OWC, OWC and turbines)- Wave energy arrays- Wind energy devices- Wind energy arrays- Maintenance and reliability- Combined platforms- Moorings, and- Flexible materials Advances in Renewable Energies Offshore collects recent developments in these fields, and will be of interest to academics and professionals involved in the above mentioned areas.
It is estimated that up to sixty percent of the world's money may be located offshore, where half of all financial transactions are said to take place; however, there is a perception that secrecy about offshore is encouraged to obfuscate tax evasion and money laundering. McCann provides a detailed analysis of the global offshore environment, outlining the extent of the information available and how that information might be used in assessing the quality of individual jurisdictions, as well as examining whether some of the perceptions about 'offshore' are valid. He analyses the ongoing work of the Financial Stability Forum, the Financial Action Task Force, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The book also offers some suggestions as to what the future might hold for offshore finance.
This book addresses current and emerging challenges facing those working in offshore construction, design and research. Keynote papers from leading industry practitioners and academics provide a comprehensive overview of central topics covering deepwater anchoring, pipelines, foundation solutions for offshore wind turbines, site investigation, geoh
