McCullough, D., The Great Bridge. The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge. Simon and Schuster, New York, 1972. Captain Reynolds told many colourful stories of life beneath the waves. Although British subs have an excellent safety record, he'd personally experienced a number of life-threatening incidents, including an onboard explosion and near misses with Russian subs. Much goes on in the deep that remains classified, and the phrase "I can't tell you about that," was a frequent one. Don't miss the walkway heading underneath the sub. Image: Matt Brown The largest region of the Global Ocean, the Pacific Ocean has the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Southern Ocean to the south, Australia, and Asia to the west and the Americas to the east. Spanning an area of 168,723,000 square km, the Pacific Ocean accounts for one-third of the total surface area of the planet. The deepest point in the Pacific Ocean is the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench (10,929 m) located in the western North Pacific.
Large parts of the Pacific remain unexplored due to its great depths. However, in the relatively shallow waters off the coast of Australia and New Zealand, petroleum and natural gas deposits have been discovered. Pearl extraction is also common in the Pacific's waters. A large variety of fish like tuna, salmon, swordfish, herring, snapper, etc., abound in parts of the Pacific.

The Master did not go to the bridge, and he declined the 3 rd Mate’s telephone suggestion to alter course further to the South to put more distance between the hurricane and ‘El Faro’. The ‘El Faro’ and her sistership were soon to be replaced in the trade by two new LNG powered vessels. The ‘El Faro’s Master was concerned that he would not be appointed to one of the new vessels as his performance reports had not been entirely satisfactory. He was therefore under pressure and facing redundancy.Since the Atlantic Ocean is vast, its climate varies widely from the north to the south. Warm and cold ocean currents in the Atlantic also influence the climate of the coastal areas on the shores of the Atlantic. The Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift are responsible for keeping large parts of the coast of north-western Europe and the British Isles warm when the coast of Newfoundland in Canada on the same latitude experiences extreme temperatures in winter. NOTE: NAVTEX receivers provide automatic reception and hardcopy print out of MSI, inclusive of weather warnings and forecasts.
