Сэр Генри Бессемер был деловым человеком и часто ездил по делам в Европу. И всё бы ничего, но в конце XIX века попасть из Англии на континент можно было только пароходом, а Бессемер ненавидел качку. В декабре 1869 года измученный морской болезнью сэр Бессемер запатентовал неукачиваемое судно ...

Happy bike week! Are you missing out on bike breakfasts, wishing you’d planned ahead so you could score as many free bagels as possible?

Красив!
Вроде бы несуразный самолетик, а столько бед немцам принес. Остается только удивляться смелости парней из FAA, которые вели свои "стрекозы" на "Бисмарк", группу кораблей Цилиакса во время операции "Церберус" или на подлодки сквозь заградительный огонь немцев. Кстати, для поклонников "...

Еще один панорамный снимок конвоя.
Правда из него не ясно сколько колон в ордере имеет конвой. Видны только пять колон, но в построении их могло быть до 10. Судя по всему конвой большой, в составе не менее 40 единиц. Вдалеке виднеется корабль эскорта - эсминец. Суда достаточно хорошо удерживаются в строю, но управлять...

Owners of iOS devices might be interested in Sid Meier's Ace Patrol, a First World War combat game for iPad and iPhone. It's turn-based rather than a flying sim, along the lines of the tabletop game Wings of War (which I own but haven't actually played): you make your move (fly, bank or shoot), then the computer-controlled enemy gets a go. I've only had a brief play so far but it's rather...

Higruppetto!
I realise this community has been a little quiet lately but I'm assuming there are at least a couple of you out there and maybe some of you are watching the Giro d'Italia? So, on the off chance, I thought I'd start a discussion post.
Can Ryder Hesjedal do it again?
Is Bradley Wiggins ever going to stop fighting with Chris Froome via the media long enough to do well here?

- Anyone know what's up with the Fitchburg cut-off

- Posted 2 weeks ago by hahathor
Construction started on the Fitchburg cutoff over three years ago; and just last week I tried to traverse it. It started out great: paved, a nice bridge over some of the swampier sections and then .... it just STOPPED. I understand construction can take a while, but the path is less than a mile long. Does anyone have any information on when or if construction is supposed to be completed?

"На линейном корабле "Императрица Мария" боцман Аббакумов, плававший в 1854-1855 г.г. на кор. "Императрица Мария".
Покопался в памяти, покопался в инете, уточнил. И правда, был такой А. М. Аббакумов, боцман, служил в Крымскую войну. Был достаточно известен в...
