When light shines through water, colors with longer wavelengths are absorbed by the water, with the longest wavelengths absorbed first. Blue and violet have the shortest wavelengths of visible light, so they are able to penetrate the deepest.
"There are not very many conservation issues that I'm aware of where industry and conservationists and consumers and the fishermen and the resource users all want the same thing. Every stakeholder wants less bycatch."
"This is absolutely a rare window for young workers because the demand is real, funded, and seemingly long-term," Fraser Patterson, CEO of Skillit, stated. "These are not speculative jobs. They are tied to multi-decade investment cycles, and they offer a path to strong earnings, skill development, and stability without requiring a traditional four-year degree."
The Titanic was one of a trio of similar White Star Line ships completed in the early nineteen-tens. In the video above, Bill Hammack, known on YouTube as Engineerguy, tells the story of not just the Titanic, but also the Olympic and the HMHS Britannic. An engineering professor at the University of Illinois, he found in the campus library issues of the journal The Engineer published between 1909 and 1911 that contain detailed photographs of the construction of both the Titanic and Olympic, sister ships that were built side-by-side.
Attempting to eke out the remaining oil and gas from the North Sea was not the answer to the challenges facing the UK. It will not bring down the price for consumers, nor will it deliver long-term energy security. The international markets will determine the price and destination; that is not energy independence.
Recovered CWMs continue to pose worker and food safety risks. Because of ocean drift, storms, and offshore industries, sea-disposed CWMs locations are largely unknown and potentially far from their originally documented dump site. The three incidents exposed at least six crew members to mustard agent, which causes blistering chemical burns on skin and mucous membranes.
Maritime traffic through the strait, the narrow channel linking the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, has effectively been closed since strikes on Iran began. Some vessels have been diverted or delayed and ports and shipping companies are dealing with heightened security concerns and uncertainty.
For decades, the LEGO Group has demonstrated an unusual ability to translate real-world engineering into tactile storytelling. From architectural landmarks to Technic supercars, its most compelling releases are often those rooted in authentic industrial design. The new LEGO 40955 Maersk Dual-Fuel Container Vessel follows that same philosophy, drawing inspiration from one of the most significant advances in modern maritime transport.
A barge-based configuration offers advantages over land-based facilities, according to BDC, including optimization of scarce land resources through offshore or nearshore deployment, vital in a country that is smaller than many cities, including London. This arrangement also offers segregation between hydrogen handling infrastructure and the core datacenter operations, the firm says, plus greater flexibility in hydrogen transport and storage, making use of Singapore's maritime ecosystem.
RED HOOK - A SPECIAL EXHIBITION - "Brooklyn Marine Terminal: Past, Present, & What's Next for Red Hook?" - will hold its opening Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Compere Collective, 351 Van Brunt St. in Red Hook. The display, hosted by Resilient Red Hook in collaboration with Pratt Institute's School of Architecture, features student work that explores alternative visions for the BMT, bringing academic insight, community priorities and design innovation together.
If you've never docked a boat before, consider yourself lucky. There are plenty of popular TikTok channels devoted to shaming those who bring their craft back home clumsily or berth them with something less than finesse. Tricky crosswinds, unpredictable surf and even the jeers of passersby can make it a stressful experience at the best of times. Brunswick, which owns more than 50 water-borne brands like Sea Ray, Bayliner and Mercury Marine, has a solution.
It has been almost three years since the Port of San Francisco awarded TMG Partners the redevelopment rights for San Francisco's Pier 38, with TMG winning over the Port with a pitch that emphasized the speed with which they planned to act and an "immediate revitalization" of the pier with a mix of public, office and maritime uses. But Pier 38, which has been shuttered since 2011, remains red tagged and inactive.
Counting Ships is a photography series by Pierfrancesco Celada that examines proximity, movement, and scale within a maritime landscape. The project captures a busy ferry route connecting an island to one of the most densely populated regions nearby. The crossing takes approximately 25 minutes and passes through one of the world's most active maritime trade corridors, where more than two hundred cargo ships transit daily.
There's something romantic about sailboats that still speaks to us in this hyper-connected age. The idea that you can harness nothing but wind and water to glide across the ocean feels almost magical. But here's the reality check: even the most old-school sailor needs power these days. Your GPS has to stay on, your radar needs juice, those navigation lights aren't optional, and let's be honest, nobody wants to lose their phone charge mid-voyage.
COLUMBIA STREET WATERFRONT DISTRICT - The City Club of New York trustee Tom Fox introduced on Tuesday a new to redevelop the 122-acre "all-maritime" proposal Brooklyn Marine Terminal situated on an industrial waterfront site stretching from Atlantic Avenue to Red Hook on the East River. Fox, co-founder of New York Water Taxi, the precursor to NYC Ferry Service, has numerous civic credits to his name, including spearheading the creation of the Brooklyn-Queens Greenway and co-founding the original Brooklyn Bridge Park Coalition.
On September 14, Alejandro Carranza, a 42-year-old fisherman, set out to sea from a remote town in La Guajira, Colombia's northernmost province, bordering Venezuela. It was an ordinary fishing trip, in search of tuna and marlin, said Leonardo Vega, a childhood friend and the president of the fishing association Carranza belonged to. But this time, Carranza never returned.
In this photo, I'm preparing drifting buoys for deployment. This was my main responsibility aboard the RV Falkor (too), during a 27-day research expedition in October 2025 exploring the Malvinas Current, an ocean current that runs alongside Argentina. The expedition included biologists, geologists and physical oceanographers such as myself; I'm a PhD candidate at the Sea and Atmosphere Research Center (CIMA) in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
