Initially vessels used bells, gongs and whistles. Some lighthouses actually set of small cannons periodically to warn away ships. During the mid 19th century the foghorn was developed first by Trinity House using a gun-cotton charge that had to be replaced every five minutes. Clockwork systems were also invented for striking bells.Although Captain James William Newton claimed to be the inventor of fog signalling using loud and low notes the first automated steam powered foghorn was developed by Robert Foulis. The Scotsman, who emigrated to Canada said he heard his daughter playing the piano in the distance on a foggy night and noticed that the low notes were more audible than the high notes. The first of his foghorns was installed on Partridge Island in 1859.Subsequent systems include the coal powered Daboll Trumpet, which was used until the mid 20th century and the Diaphone which utilised an organ stop device. http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/FOGHORN----ORIGIN http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/FOGHORN----ORIGIN Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:08:13 +0100 FOGHORN REQUIEMThe phasing out of the foghorn from the UKs coastal landscape will be commemorated in the North Sea on Saturday 22nd June. Already there are fifty ships ready to assemble for what has been dubbed The Foghorn Requiem.Music will be performed by three brass bands (the Felling Band, the Westoe Band and the NASUWT Riverside Band ), various ships and the Souter Lighthouse Foghorn. The event has been carefully orchestrated by artists Lise Autogena and Joshua Portway and composer Orlando Gough to take into account landscape and physical distance of sound and will cover several miles off coastal cliffs across the area.The foghorn (and steam whistle) have recently been superseded by GPS and other technologies. The Souter Lighthouse, near South Shields on Tyneside has one of the few remaining working foghorns in the country.Organisers are hoping that vessels of all sizes will turn up for the event and be anchored of the coast at South Shields by 21 June. Specialist equipment will be supplied for anyone wanting to be involved. There will also be a sail by and a land based celebration.Project originator Lise Autogena told the press, 'We're really excited to have so many sectors of the maritime community taking part and it would be great to hear from even more... Whether you're the skipper of a large commercial vessel, a small pleasure craft or a spectacular tall ship we'd love you to come along and you can be sure of a great welcome.'To take part call 07738 953116, email rhollinshead@gritandpearl.co.uk, or visit www.foghornrequiem.org http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/FOGHORN-REQUIEM http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/FOGHORN-REQUIEM Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:47:44 +0100 Xbox GAME HALO BECOMES SPIELBERG TV SHOWBest selling Xbox game, Halo is to become a live action TV show produced by Steven Spielberg.Vice president of Microsoft Studios, Phil Spencer told the press, 'We said 'If we're really going to do something epic with this on television, let's find one of the best storytellers on the planet, somebody who knows gaming and loves Halo... Bringing Steven Spielberg on as a producer for this was a great opportunity to show that Halo is an intellectual property as big as anything out there today in entertainment.'Los Angeles Times entertainment writer, Todd Marten said, 'I think what you're seeing this year that is different is both Sony and Microsoft really talking up how each of their consoles is going to have exclusive and original programming and trying to get people to buy the consoles because of that original content.'CEO of British games developer, Rebellion told the press, 'The key thing is that technology has moved on in computer games that we can now get more movie-like graphics in the game-play experience which is very exciting... There's a very strong crossing of cultures there and it means a lot more fantastic experiences for all of us in both areas.' http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/Xbox-GAME-HALO-BECOMES-SPIELBERG-TV-SHOW http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/Xbox-GAME-HALO-BECOMES-SPIELBERG-TV-SHOW Sat, 08 Jun 2013 14:23:57 +0100 SEVEN SEAS ORIGIN.According to the International Hydrographic Organization there are in fact over 100 bodies of water that can be classed as seas. The phrase is Seven Seas or Sail the Seven Seas has been used traditionally since 2300BC when it appeared in a Mesopotamian hymn.Ancient seven seas were Sea of Fars, Larwi, Harkand, Kalah, Salahit, Kardjani and The Sea of Sanji.Arabian seven seas are The Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Adriatic Sea.Other seas include The North Sea, Irish Sea, Aegean Sea, Dead Sea, Java Sea, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean, China Sea, Gulf of Mexico, The Caribbean, The Timor Sea and The Sargasso. It would appear that every religion or mythology chooses its own particular seven seas, which then become part of traditional lore. http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/SEVEN-SEAS----ORIGIN. http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/SEVEN-SEAS----ORIGIN. Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:38:01 +0100 PAMELA ANDERSON BOOBS BANNEDDomain web host company Dreamscape Networks have had a TV commercial banned for using Pamela Andersons cleavage as a selling point.According to reports the advertisement showed the former Baywatch pin-up as high flying business women selling her business to a group of men during a meeting. During this her assistant pours cream into a cup of coffee. The man then fantasised about Anderson and her assistant in bikinis. Anderson then snapped the man back into the business at hand whilst her assistant showed off her cleavage and poured another drink.Four people complained that the advertisement was sexist and degrading to women. Dreamscape Networks said the advert was 'anything but degrading to women.. deliberately portraying Anderson and her assistant as attractive, dynamic and confident business people... the ad took a tongue-in-cheek approach to promoting its product and the majority of viewers would find it 'fanciful and humorous'.The Advertising Standards Authority told the press it understood that the ad was intended to be a humorous and light-hearted parody of a mundane business meeting... it said the female characters were portrayed sexually throughout the ad, not just during the fantasy sequence, noting that their shirts were open to expose their bras and cleavages... The fantasy scene, although limited to the man's imagination, gave the impression that he viewed his female colleagues as sexual objects... Because of that, we considered the ad was likely to cause serious offence to some viewers on the basis that it was sexist and degrading to women.' http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/PAMELA-ANDERSON-BOOBS-BANNED http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/PAMELA-ANDERSON-BOOBS-BANNED Wed, 05 Jun 2013 15:03:33 +0100 MARY ROSE MUSEUM IS OPENThe wreck of the Mary Rose has gone on display along with thousands of artefacts lifted from the seabed over 30 years ago. Designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects the nick named Jewellery Box Centre has been described as creating a snapshot of Tudor life every bit as vivid as Pompeii summons up Roman times.The original excavation of the wreck in 1982 was supported by Prince Charles, who joined divers in Solent after the discovery of the legendary ship that was attacked and destroyed by the French as Henry VIII watched her go down on 19 July 1945.Over 60 million people watched the hull section being lifted from the waters off Portsmouth , after which it was placed in a museum and sprayed with brine and a preservative until recently. The ships artefacts were housed separately but will now have a new home together alongside Nelsons flagship HMS Victory.'CEO John Lippiett told the press, 'The new Mary Rose Museum marks a new and exciting chapter in the history of The Mary Rose, providing an astonishing resource for the world to learn about the Tudors and a centre of excellence for maritime archaeology and conservation... The museum is testament to all those who have worked so hard on this remarkable 42-year project to locate, salvage and conserve the ship and her contents.'The whole of the museum is designed by the curvature of the ship... The concept is to put the objects back into the ship... We have built the mirror image half of the ship... This is a state-of-the-art museum which is at a very top level of any museum I know.It is a memorial to the 500 who lost their lives on the Mary Rose... If I died in battle and I saw what was being done in my memory, I would be absolutely thrilled... This is the most extraordinary time capsule of life and death 500 years ago... This isn't just about a ship, it's about life in Tudor times... It isn't just a time capsule though, it rewrites history; historians said that gimballed compasses didn't come in for another 100 years but we have three of them here.Dame Jenny Abramsky, HLF chairwoman, said, 'The drama of the day the Mary Rose was raised from the depths of the Solent is forever seared in my memory - the most significant archaeological find in our nation's maritime history... Right from the start, the Heritage Lottery Fund has worked closely with the Mary Rose Trust on this ground-breaking project to reunite the 500-year-old warship with thousands of artefacts telling her story... It's incredibly exciting that, after much painstaking conservation work, the Mary Rose is finally ready to go back on show in a wonderful new space where she will undoubtedly wow all who come to visit.'The Mary Rose Museum at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, is open to visitors. Well worth a visit. http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/MARY-ROSE-MUSEUM-IS-OPEN http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/MARY-ROSE-MUSEUM-IS-OPEN Thu, 30 May 2013 12:22:51 +0100 BIG ORGASM - COCKTAIL RECIPE2 shots Butterscotch Schnapps1 shot Amaretto1 shot vodka1 shot Baileys1 shot Spanish brandy1 teaspoon of soft brown sugarSoda waterIce cubes1 generous tablespoon of vanilla ice creamFrozen grated chocolatePut all the liquid ingredients into a cocktail mixer with a good amount of soda and three ice cubes.

A mayday call was sent and she was rescued by sister boat The Dale Princess.Diver Dr P. Crossland, who also raced to the incident aboard Over Dale said, 'There were a lot of elderly people and around six children... There was one woman with Multiple Sclerosis who struggled to get off. The water was really beginning to pump through really quite badly.'Milford Haven Coastguard, Barrie Yelland, told the press, 'Everyone has done an excellent job carrying out this rescue, including all the various vessels that responded. Special thanks must go out to the boat Over Dale.' http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/48-TWITCHERS-RESCUED-AT-SEA http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/48-TWITCHERS-RESCUED-AT-SEA Wed, 29 May 2013 09:53:05 +0100 THE MESSIAH OF OZ...?A former IT specialist is causing controversy in Australia by claiming to be the messiah. Alan john Miller, who prefers to be called AJ is head of a religious cult called The Divine Truth, which he runs from his home near Lingaroy, Queensland.Not only does Mr Miller claim to be Christ reborn he also claims that his girlfriend Mary Luck is in fact a reincarnation of Mary Magdalene.Mr Miller told the press, 'I have very clear memories of the crucifixion, but it wasn't as harrowing for me as it was for others like Mary who was present... When you are one with God you are not in a state of fear, and you have quite good control over your body's sensations and the level of pain that you absorb from your body.'He said that after his crucifixion he entered the spirit world where he met Plato, Socrates, popes and presidents. He also remembers performing miracles.He told the press, 'I did resurrect quite a number of people ... including a friend of mine Lazarus, who most people know is mentioned in the Bible.'Follower, Louise 'Luli' Faver said that AJ has helped her become happier and more fulfilled in life. The 39 year-old, former neuroscientist said, 'It's just nice to instead of being surrounded by people who think you are nuts, to be surrounded by people who understand what you are going through and the difficulties of trying to deal with all the emotional stuff.'Former Californian businessman George Hamel who left his wife to be closer to AJ said, 'It's natural that people form fears when they don't know about something... Anyone who has a chance to look into it aren't going to find anything too upsetting.'Cult expert Rev David Millikan, who has met AJ Miller said, 'The danger is you'll be drawn closer and closer into his web to a point that you lose access to your social life, you spend all your money, you'll have the curses of all your family ringing in your ears and you may well lose your relationship.'I retaliation AJ said, 'All we do is present seminars and answer people's questions. I still for the life of me can't quite understand where the cult thing has come from... There were lots of people in the first century who didn't believe I was the Messiah and were offended by what I said - and in fact I died at the hands of some of them... Unfortunately they didn't learn love either and my suggestion is, even if you don't believe I am Jesus, at least learn how to love.'Mary Luck told the press, 'My parents became very afraid simply because AJ was saying he was Jesus publicly and by their own admission they feared for what my life would be like... They also had some fundamental issues with looking at emotions which is core to these teachings.'My question is this... How on earth did Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene learn to speak English as their first language? http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/THE-CHRIST-OF-OZ http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/THE-CHRIST-OF-OZ Sun, 26 May 2013 17:30:25 +0100 SEA DOG ORIGINDuring the time of Elizabeth I of England the name Sea Dogs was allotted to various buccaneers and adventurers. They were active during the mid 16th century to the early 17th century and were also involved in slave trading.Captain John Hawkins was one of the most prominent of all Sea Dogs and regularly attacked Spanish ships in the Caribbean. Francis Drake was also an acclaimed Sea Dog as were Walter Raleigh, Thomas Cavendish, Humphrey Gilbert and Martin Frobisher.Many Sea Dogs continued their piracy in the Barbary States after peace was made with Spain in 1604 and became rich and infamous, much to the embarrassment of the English Royalty. http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/SEA-DOG----ORIGIN http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/SEA-DOG----ORIGIN Sun, 26 May 2013 17:00:19 +0100 KOREAN FISHING BOAT RANSOMChina had stepped in to save a North Korean fishing boat they believe to be being held to ransom.Reports say that there are at least 16 crew members and that they have been held at gunpoint when they were seized in Chinese waters.

Wright hasnt even been approached officially and many say he will pass on the chance.

The promotion encouraged women to strip to their bras and pants to race through 375 meters of the streets of the city of Basel.Swiss Equal Opportunities Officer Leila Straumann from Basel city council said: 'I thought it was a joke... I just couldn't believe that a clothing store would organise such an event. April 1st is long gone.'Local MP Sarah Wyss was equally outraged saying, 'This stunt is primitive and extremely sexist... There is absolutely no reason to have half naked women running through the city in aid of the opening of a new store. It suggests women will do anything for a clothes voucher.'Reto Braegger, from Schild management, who exclusively run the Hallhuber chain of stores in Switzerland, said, 'We don't think the run was sexist. We spent a lot of time thinking how we should advertise the new Hallhuber store... Hallhuber is a lifestyle brand, it should be fun. We stand by the promotion. We want to appeal to young, spontaneous customers. We seem to have succeeded - the 50 women who enrolled, speaks for itself.' http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/WOMEN-IN-KNICKERS-WIN-VOUCHERS http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/WOMEN-IN-KNICKERS-WIN-VOUCHERS Sat, 04 May 2013 15:23:08 +0100 WOMEN'S INSTITUTE IN SOMALI PIRATE BLUNDERParkham Womens institute wore fancy dress for a lecture on piracy unaware that the speaker they had booked had actually been held hostage by Somali pirates. The audience gathered wearing eye patches, wooden legs, hooks and plastic parrots only to be stunned when retired sea captain, Colin Darch, regaled them with the traumatic story of how is was captured in 2008 and held hostage for 47 days.WI member Stephanie George told reporters, 'We didn't know much about him but the notes said he was Captain Darch and he was talking about piracy... Naturally everyone was aghast when we realised our mistake... There he was delivering this harrowing story about how he was held hostage and feared for his life, and we were all sitting there dressed as Captain Hook... We apologised profusely but Mr Darch was a great sport and it didn't seem to faze him at all.'The 75 speaker read extracts from his book Capture By Somali Pirates & Other Events At Sea including the time he and his crew were captured by 20 armed pirates who hijacked his £120ft ship and only freed them when a £400,000 ransom had been handed over.Mr Darch said of the WI lecture, 'They seemed to be a little embarrassed but it didn't offend me in the slightest... It's been five years now and sometimes I have to remind myself just how terrifying and frightening it was... In any event, the ladies didn't look the slightest bit like Somali pirates - more like the Pirates of Penzance.' http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/WOMEN'S-INSTITUTE-SOMALI-PIRATE-BLUNDER http://www.harbourguides.com/news.php/WOMEN'S-INSTITUTE-SOMALI-PIRATE-BLUNDER Thu, 02 May 2013 11:45:07 +0100 STUART HALL PLEADS GUILTY TO SEX OFFENCESFormer Its a Knockout presenter, Stuart Hall has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting children as young as nine.
