Pacific Toy Spill Fuels Ocean Current Pathways Research
Badewannen-Enten im grossen Ozean

Manchmal gehen Container einer Schiffsladung verloren. Auch ein Container mit kleinen Plastikenten ist einmal verloren gegangen.

On January 10, 1992, a container vessel crossing the North Pacific Ocean along the great circle route from Hong Kong to Tacoma, Wash., encountered severe storm conditions near the International Date Line. At 44.7°N, 178.1°E, a dozen forty-foot (13.3 m) containers were washed overboard, one of which held about 29,000 plastic bathtub toys (see Figure 1). As they fell overboard, some of the steel cargo containers may have been torn open by the vessel's stays, or they may have been ruptured by collisions with other containers.

Die Bezeichnung für einen sumpfigen Flußarm geht über das zu Beginn der Vereinnahmung Amerikas im US-Bundesstaat Louisiana gesprochenes Französisch auf ein indianisches Wort zurück ("bajuk" = "rivière").

Discovery of Sound in the Sea
Unterwassergeräusche - Tierstimmen unter Wasser

Animals are listed by their common name. Since animals within the same family tend to have similar sound production mechanisms and hearing thresholds, they are organized by Family on an alternate page.

Dictionary of Sea Terms
1841/1851

(E?)(L?) http://www.hmssurprise.org/Resources/DanaSFLex.html

From "The Seaman's Friend: Containing a Treatise on Practical Seamanship, with Plates; A Dictionary of Sea Terms; Customs and Usages of the Merchant Service; Laws Relating to the Practical Duties of Master and Mariners.

author of 'Two Years Before the Mast.'
The Sixth Edition, Revised and Corrected"
Boston: Thomas Groom & Co., 1851.

In my experience, this 35-page dictionary is particularly useful, giving listings for terminology not given in the other dictionaries.

Jekyll Island (W3)

Wonach die an der Ostküste der USA liegende "Jekyll Island" benannt wurde, konnte ich nicht in Erfahrung bringen.
Möglicherweise war es ja ein Vorfahre von "Gertrude Jekyll" (1843-1932), nach der auch eine Rose benannt wurde.

ket - Clouds - Cloud-Names

(E?)(L?) http://www.dl.ket.org/latin1/things/clouds/cbody.htm

Clouds, we see them just as the Romans did. The formation of clouds is mainly due to the evaporated water from lakes, streams, and the earth's surface reaching a height in the atmosphere where they condense and stick together. At lower altitudes, they can cause rain, hail, sleet, or snow. When they are higher in the atmosphere, they form ice crystals. Take a brief tour of the different types of clouds, and see how we chose Latin to name the different clouds, as Latin is very descriptive and useful in this manner.

sailingahead - Glossary: A list of sailing terms

(E?)(L?) http://www.sailingahead.com/information/glossary.htm

Nautical terms might sound like a foreign language to beginners, but they stand in a proud tradition. Furthermore, they are often practical and will definitely add to your sailor-self-confidence once they became part of your own linguistic repertoire. On this page, you can learn to talk like a sailor - but don’t forget that it takes more than words to run a boat.

This site is all about snow crystals and snowflakes - what they are, where they come from, and just how these remarkably complex and beautiful structures are created, quite literally, out of thin air.

Language From the Sea, and Still Fresh After All These Years
Lots of nautical expressions have washed ashore into everyday English. Alan Hartley researches them for the Oxford English Dictionary - that is, when he's not supervising the loading of grain onto foreign ships in the Great Lakes. We called him at his office in Minnesota, and immediately made headway.
