Turkish Watercraft In Turkey
In 1926, a French steamboat, the S.S. Lotus, slammed into a Turkish steamboat, the Botz-Kourt. This brought about the sinking of the Turkish watercraft and the demise of eight Turkish nationals. Turkish powers (offended parties) founded criminal procedures against the French officer on obligation on board the S.S. Lotus at the season of the crash, Lieutenant Demons (litigant). Evil spirits protested on the ground that Turkey had no jurisdiction to bring charges. The Turkish court overruled this protest and sentenced Demons to a fine and detainment. The French government tested the Turkish court's activity as an infringement of international law. The two nations presented their dispute to the Permanent Court of International Justice. The core

    Clifford (1879) argues that the ship-owner is responsible for the death of those innocent men and women – not only did the ship-owner ignore the doubts regarding the ship’s capabilities, but he acquired a false belief by simply stifling his doubts. Yes, he felt sure about the ship’s capabilities; but, he only acquired such a conviction by allowing himself to believe it, and not based on sufficient evidence.…

    The exchange between British ship “Leopard” and American frigate “Chesapeake” in 1807 prompted Jefferson to order all British ships out of American water and prohibited foreign ships from the American export trade. The effect of this self imposed embargo would have a disastrous effect on the American economy sending it into a depression in 1808. Napoleon took advantage of this flawed policy and claimed the right to attack American ships in any continental port because, by Jefferson’s own order they were illegal carriers and in violation of the embargo.…

    On April 15, 1912, 1500 people died on board the RMS Titanic. Families were lost at sea, struggling to survive in the dark, murky waters of the Trans-Atlantic Ocean. However, one question remains… Who or what is responsible for the sinking of the ‘unsinkable ship’? The Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912 carrying 2200 passengers and 1300 crew. She hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912 at 11:45 p.m. At first the captain thought that the ship had merely scraped the iceberg. The damage was much worse... The iceberg scraped the hull so bad the rivets used to hold the ship together popped out. The gash in the hull let water come into the ship at 10 tons per second! Of the 2200 passengers, she carried on board, only 700 survived. Some people say that Thomas Andrews (the head designer of the Titanic) was responsible for the tragedy due to faulty ship design. Others say that J. Bruce Ismay is responsible for encouraging faulty ship design. Ismay is to blame because he should have told Thomas Andrews to make the supposed ‘water tight’ bulkheads higher. Ismay also should have added more lifeboats to save everyone on board in case of disaster. Out of all the culprits, Ismay is the most responsible because he had the final say in how the ship was made.…

    In a report written in 1819, the unknown author gives the reader “a brief account of the horrid massacre of the captain, mate and supercargo” that happened in July of 1816. According to this report, four crewmembers, John Williams, John Rog, Francis Frederick, and Niles Fogelgreen, led by Williams, killed the captain and the supercargo, threw the first officer overboard, and held the second officer hostage. The ship, sailing from Baltimore to Europe, had approximately 42 thousand dollars’ worth of coffee and other valuables onboard. The crew divvied up the goods and sold them in Norway, but caused too much suspicion when they next stopped in Copenhagen, so the authorities arrested them and sent them to Boston to await trial. Their trial was open to the public, and the courtroom was full of excited…

    The precautions taken were meager and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed. The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, though…

    Determination was what the sailors from “The open boat had,” with their drive into finding land and there hope into finding shore would they not give their lives into the cold heartless ocean. Days after days of seeing the ocean at its worst and days with no food could they only have hope and determination to finding land and being safe? As weak as they were they relied on each other to get through it. With the captain being emotionally distraught about losing his ship he still had the strength to lead the few men he had left into unknown of the sea.

    Open Boat

    What can Man do when faced with a Universe that has no concern for him? Begin to contemplate the belief that man has a role in the universe, that existence should mean something. A feeling of loneliness is conveyed from the understanding that man is alone in the universe and insignificant to the workings of the universe. In “The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane, Crane exemplifies mans insignificance to the universe and nature because ultimately fate decides and fate is an indifferent, uncontrollable, and inevitable force that possesses no consciousness that people can understand. “The Open Boat” reflects Naturalistic ideas, the era in the late nineteenth century when American was growing rapidly and the individual felt unique and important (“Regionalism” 640). With technological breakthroughs of the Industrial Revolution, such as the first transcontinental railroad, new settlers arrived with a new vision of hope (“Regionalism” 643). Along with this new hope humankind began to believe they could both understand and dominate the forces of nature, “although, at the same time people continued to struggle despite their efforts; they could not escape fate”(“Regionalism” 640). Crane questions man’s self-confidence and underlines the concept that fate cannot be avoided. The idea of “survival of the fittest” arose during this era; the idea that the people at the top of society will prevail, a concept Crane directly opposes in “The Open Boat” (“Regionalism” 646). Scaggs 2Stephen Crane was a literary master who completed twelve volumes in only seven years. Crane could least be described as typical, he was a varied man who wrote in forms of realism, impressionism, and naturalism. “The Open Boat” was based off Crane’s own experiences of being shipwrecked off the coast of Florida (Crane: Study Guide). Due to this relevance, Crane uses third person omniscient point of view to depict the realistic, life-threatening ordeal that captures the…

    Glass Industry in Turkey

    • 3 Pages

    When glass industry in Turkey is analyzed, it is observed that there are middle and small sized firms, work places at workshop levels in very limited numbers and a dominant producer, Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları Topluluğu. More than 90% of the annual production of market is met by ŞİŞECAM. Although there are no law and arbitration barriers to enter to the glass market, firms hesitate to enter since glass industry requires continuous production with high capacity and continuous investment and raw materials in Turkey are not in high quality and the amount of their reserves in Turkey are declining day by day, namely the industry is becoming more costly and risky. Furthermore, diminishing returns in the short-run increase marginal cost of glass production as the necessity of innovation and continuous production makes producer buy more technological and faster machines and equipment but the staff cannot use them efficiently for a definite period, which increase total cost and marginal cost but not brings about same increase in output levels. Decline in quality of raw materials also explains the diminishing returns and rising marginal costs.…
