Unfortunately, at least as far as shipping is concerned, the Island of Gobal Seghir (little Gobal) lies right at the very edge of the busy shipping lane which takes its name from the Island’s big brother. The Straits of Gobal are found at that point where the north west Red Sea begins to narrow as it becomes the Gulf of Suez. Approaching from the other direction, it comes right at a time when Captains - out of Suez, tend to relax, thinking that the more hazardous stretches of water are behind them - as many have discovered to their cost. Today, of course, there are radar reflectors and solar-powered lights - but over one hundred years ago things were very different indeed.

In 1887, the Suez Canal had been open for just 18 years and the Red Sea still presented new experiences and very new lessons for many a seasoned ship’s Master - most of whom had never seen such things as “Coral Reefs” which always seemed to lurk menacingly below the surface. Even today, these are hazardous waters - imagine how treacherous they must have been at night without any form of warning light.

On the morning of July 15th 1887, Captain Arthur Bremner paced the decks of his beloved Ulysses only pausing to study his pocket watch one more time. Above him, the tall building proclaimed “East India Trading Company” in large letters and, although that Company had long ceased to exist, he often found himself loading at these same warehouses right in the heart of London. Once again he checked his watch and once again he studied the River. He wanted to make the best possible use of the ebb tide and, at last, the time had come to depart. He barked a succession of orders and, as the mooring lines were slipped, he duly set sail - destination Penang. The Ulysses was a sleek vessel with proud lines and, unlike many of the hybrid “sail and steam” ships of the period, she responded well to either form of power - thus giving her a definite advantage when competitors were becalmed. With a following wind to see them safely out of the Thames, none would have guessed that this would prove to be the last voyage for this brave yet ill-fated little ship which, in the 16 years since her launch, had enjoyed a somewhat chequered career.

Captain Bremner gave his personal attention to every aspect of running the ship and only when they were in the wide open stretches of the Atlantic and, later, the Mediterranean, did he allow the Officer of the Watch to exercise complete control over “his” ship. As with so many trips, it was a long and uneventful journey to Port Said where, all of a sudden, Captain Bremner was very much in demand as he attended to Customs officials, Port Authorities and Pilots as he dealt with all the rules, regulations and paperwork that went with the job. Leaving Port Said, he then remained at hand to assist the Pilot as they made the 100 mile journey to Suez.

Once the Pilot was dropped, Captain Bremner took command once again and, almost immediately, he was negotiating the narrow confines of the upper reaches of the Straits of Suez. Perhaps, if he had trusted his more senior Officers things might have turned out differently, but as the many hours passed, this ship’s Master got little or no rest as he continued to study and double check every single detail of navigating his ship safely through such dangerous waters. These many hours of relentless concentration demanded the highest levels of physical strength and endurance until, at long last, the Sinai began to fall away to the east and the Egyptian mainland even further away to the west, as the Ulysses approached the wider and safer shipping lanes of the open Red Sea. Finally, satisfied with his work, Bremner eventually handed over control to the Officer of the Watch and retired to his cabin. In the early hours of August 17th the Ulysses struck Gobal Seghir and within moments, the Captain was awake and had taken control of the situation. His first duty was to conduct a thorough check - both internal and external, of every single aspect of the ship’s condition and, at first it seemed that the Ulysses had sustained little damage and the pumps could easily handle the small amounts of water being taken on. Regarding the incident as nothing more than an unfortunate grounding, Captain Bremner decided to wait and seek help from any passing ship - something that was not long in coming.

It was still before daybreak when the lights of the British Steamship “Kerbela” came into view and she quickly responded to the rocket that was fired to attract her attention. Unable to render assistance himself - though he would certainly have rescued the crew had it been required, the Master of the Kerbela agreed to make all haste for Suez and send assistance - which he did.

The Times newspaper of August 18th 1887 included the following entry under the large heading WRECKS AND CASUALTIES: “Lloyd’s agent at Suez telegraphs that the Kerbela, British steamer, reports that the Ulysses, British steamer, is ashore at Jubal Island, and is leaking a little. Assistance has been sent.” Hardly a cause for concern should anyone with an interest in either the ship, cargo or crew have read the item. It would not be long, however, before that “leaking a little” was to become much worse. At daybreak, Captain Bremner assessed the situation once again and repeated the process at regular intervals throughout the day. The Ulysses was stuck fast on a Coral Reef close to Bluff Point. Damage assessment still indicated minor leaking and nothing much had changed - apart from a worsening in weather conditions and a slight increase in the sea state. Still convinced his ship was not lost, Bremner decided against dumping any cargo overboard in the belief that the vessel would eventually be pulled free or perhaps, even float off with the rising tide.

Of course, by the time the Kerbela had reached Suez it was already late on the 17th and the Agent’s for the Ocean Steamship Company were not able to despatch that much needed assistance until the following day. Up to now, Bremner, had totally underestimated the power of a Coral Reef to inflict damage on a steel-hulled vessel and had, therefore, refused to jettison any cargo. As the ship gently pivoted on the Coral head that held her so firmly in place, the leaks slowly got worse and he had no option but to take appropriate action. He decided to jettison part of the cargo in shallow water - from where it could be recovered once assistance arrived. No sooner was this done, however, separate parties of armed Arabs and Maltese landed on the otherwise deserted island and began plundering the jettisoned cargo. Deciding that no more cargo would be removed from the ship for the time being, water levels were continually monitored. What went undetected, however, was the slow, irreversible process of the ship steadily rocking to and fro in the increased sea state. This unrelenting process was weakening the hull of the ship and, without lightening the load - it was only a matter of time.

Whether, through fatigue or simple error, Captain Bremner had made the fateful mistake - either by setting a wrong course or by issuing wrong instructions, will probably never be known. One factor that may have played a part in his thinking, however, was an instruction by the Company to make certain all cargoes reached their allotted destinations - on time and intact! In a manner not uncommon amongst a number of fleets, the Ocean Steamship Company selected a “theme” when naming their ships. Their theme was Greek Mythology and names like Achilles, Ajax, Hector and, of course Ulysses became the norm. After a period of successful trading, the Company expanded and ordered five new sister ships of approximately 2,000 tons each - all built between 1869 and 1871. The Priam was built by Scott and Co and the Hector, Menelaus, Sarpedon and Ulysses by Leslie and Co of Newcastle. The entire fleet, however, went through a period when they were clearly not as invincible as their names suggested - something that very nearly brought the Company to it’s knees. In October 1875 Hector was lost outside Amoy Harbour. In March 1876 Orestes was also lost, this time off Galle and, the following September, Sarpedon met the same fate off Ushant. These combined losses to the Company - in terms of Cargo and Vessels, amounted to well over a quarter of a million pounds - and all within a year. That, however, would have been more easily managed had the rest of the fleet avoided further mishap. When cargo after cargo was lost through a succession of groundings, collisions and breakdowns, the Company suddenly found itself in the serious financial predicament of having to find additional funds for repairs and replacement ships at a time of falling income.

Within her first year afloat, Ulysses went ashore in the Red Sea and was so badly damaged, she had to return to England for extensive repairs. The Minutes of the Company’s subsequent AGM recorded a heavy financial loss from that particular voyage. The following year, she let the side down once again - by losing her propeller and running aground near Singapore. Then came a succession of broken shafts with Ajax, Antenor and Agamemnon - the pride of the fleet, all having to be docked for repairs. Ulysses, however, picked the worst possible moment for such a breakdown and was very nearly lost altogether. Such catastrophes continued to plague the Company until Teucer was lost in 1885 - also off Ushant, after which, the epidemic seemed to have passed. Whilst the Company had been insured for the greater part - they had, nevertheless, endured a period of considerable financial loss. Each Captain was, therefore, well aware of Company policy which required him to deliver his entire cargo in good order and in the most reasonable time. Meanwhile, however, the rivets slowly loosened as the ship continued to be pounded by a moderately rough sea and the damage steadily increased until, on the morning of August 19th, the Ulysses was down by the stern. At about mid-morning two Lighters with labourers arrived from Suez and shortly afterwards HMS Falcon arrived to offer protection. Realising the seriousness of the condition of the Ulysses, the Captain of the Falcon also lent some of his crew to assist with unloading whilst others were landed to guard that which had been jettisoned.

It was a long, dirty and laborious task in the most testing of conditions - made even worse by the intense heat which predominates in August. With the engines engulfed and the pumps silenced, foul water was now deep in the holds. The workers had to wade deep into this unpleasantness - at least up to their armpits, but sometimes they also had to swim underneath. Without power, they then had to haul the cargo out of the hold and into the sea where it was man-handled over coral reefs to the shore before finally being carried some one third of a mile to the Lighters. Throughout these many days of toil, two other passing ships belonging to the Ocean Steamship Company, hove to and offered assistance. By now, however, the Ulysses itself was passed saving. Eventually, Captain Bremner could do nothing more than watch as his ship settled onto the seabed stern first - in an almost leisurely fashion, with her bows and bowsprit still in view and pointing upwards at a sharp angle. Satisfied, that nothing more could be done, on 6th September 1887, all parties returned to Suez. The Lighters were so fully laden that additional space had to be found on the decks of HMS Falcon for a considerable amount of the salvaged cargo. On arrival, Bremner made his official report on the loss of the Ulysses - which was then officially listed as “Abandoned.” Bad weather then set in for a few days during which the crippled ship sustained considerable damage before finally disappearing below the surface forever. No specific date for the final sinking was ever recorded.

Back in England, there then followed two separate and very complicated claims for salvage - both of which were very unusual. The first was brought by the Ocean Steamship Company in respect of the services rendered by the crew of the Ulysses - unusual because ship’s crews do not normally benefit from the salvage of their own vessel, and for the services rendered by their own passing ships. The second was brought by the Captain and crew of HMS Falcon - unusual for the crew of any “HM” Ship to benefit from the ordinary course of their duties. The cargo of the Ulysses was being carried under a bill of lading which exempted the Ocean Steamship Company from liability for loss caused by negligence of the Master and crew. The Company was, therefore, stating that once the Ulysses was aground and it was established she would not be refloated, the duties of the Master and crew had come to an end and they were as entitled to a share of salvage as any other party. The claim then stated that any such award to the Crew was, however, the property of the Company - in who’s employ they were at the time. They also claimed expenses in connection with their other ships which had attempted to render assistance. As for the Captain and crew of HMS Falcon, their case was entirely different. All parties agreed that HMS Falcon was employed to protect the Ulysses and her cargo from plunder and that no salvage was payable in respect of such duties. At the same time, however, crew members had assisted with the salving of the cargo by getting it out of the hold and carrying it a considerable distance to the Lighters. Finally, a proportion of the salved cargo had been carried back to Suez on board HMS Falcon. They claimed that they were entitled to salvage for those acts which were outside the normal scope of Naval duties, On June 26th 1888, Sir James Hannen, advised by a board of Trinity Masters, presided over these two claims which had been combined into a single action. Dealing with the claim submitted by the Ocean Steamship Company first, it was clear that Sir James was unhappy with certain aspects. In summarising the action before him, he referred to “a valuable cargo estimated to be worth 60,000 carried under terms which exempted the Ocean Steamship Company from all liability.” He went on to say “I do not know what circumstances brought about the stranding of the Ulysses but the result is that the Ocean Steamship Company treat the matter as though they were strangers who rendered a salvage service to their own ship and the cargo.”

He duly referred that matter to the Registrar General of Shipping - tasking him to apportion how much of the salvage work undertaken by the crew of the Ulysses was due to the ship and how much to the cargo and how much to both activities. Turning his attention to the claim made by HMS Falcon, all parties agreed that particular elements of this claim were outside the normal duties of “HM” ships and he duly awarded the Captain and crew of HMS Falcon the princely sum of 1,000 - with the recommendation that, in view of the offensive nature of the work involved, the normal course of giving so large a proportion to the Captain should not be followed in this instance. Two months later, The Ocean Steamship Company settled their claim out of court for an undisclosed sum.

Western wear began its decent into history during the 19th century in the American wild west. The apparel was worn by famous cowboys such as Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp. Their style was much different than the western wear worn now, but it laid an important foundation for how western wear is worn today.

Simplicity was the main theme with cowboy attire in the early days. They wore shirts that did no buttons or collars so they could easily pull their shirts on and off. They also wore simple trousers, with canvas tucked inside for their legs protection.

Bandannas were an important accessory. They kept cowboys safe from the elements. It protected their necks from the sun, and protected their wind pipes from dust storms while out on the plains.

Cowboy hats were another essential accessory. Cowboy hats also provided a lot of protection from the heat of the sun. It was also a handy drinking cup whenever they ran across a stream or watering hole.

These simple styles remained for some time. It was revived when Hollywood began making Western movies. Western wear styles became popular once more thanks to movie stars such as John Wayne.

The public started wearing western style clothing more regularly starting in the 1960s. Cowboy items were making their way in to general stores and people who were not cowboys began making fashion statements with cowboy attire. Even the Beatles wore cowboy boots and cowboy hats.

Then Nashville music came to the scene. The western style clothing industry changed again to more sporting styles. Distressed leather, casual dress, and different styled cowboy boots and cowboy hats were introduced.

Western wear can now be anything from authentic pioneer replicas to stylish Nashville country music star diamond studded boots. There are a variety of options to choose from now a days. With so many options old and young alike are able to find styles they enjoy much easier.

For over 50 years AA Callisters has been selling Cowboy Boots, Cowboy Hats, and Western Wear. They are Utah’s leading Western Retailer with 2 store locations as well as their online store.

In Antarctica some the highest temperatures only reach a minus 25. These are during summer months, like December. This is compounded by the fact that the miles of glacier are home to gale force winds that can make your eyelids frozen in a second. The South Pole has to be the roughest place to be other than outer space.

That being said, there’s also no less important place for scientific research than America’s dedicated Antarctic research station. Other than approved researchers and workers, there was a time when no one was allowed at the Pole. However, now it is possible for wealthy tourists and adventurers to book carter flights to this ice-covered land.

There is not much to observe but white. There are no penguins closer than a thousand miles in any direction. However, there are people who long to visit the Pole just to have this rare experience and be able to say that they were that and that they did that.

The scientists and other workers who inhabit The Pole, likely look askance when considering the station as a tourist attraction, as the site is strewn with cranes and bulldozers that continue to develop the station. While researchers are busy working during the season, uninvited guests will often arrive. Attempts to block them from coming are futile.

There are no nations that lay claim to ownership of Antarctica. However, there are 43 nations that have signed treaties to protect and study this mysterious landmass that covers an area as large as that covered by Mexico and the United States together. All throughout the year, regardless of the months of constant winter the continent experiences, the American station stays staffed. Those who work in that area try to assist people who find themselves that far into the southern hemisphere, regardless of whether or not they should be there.

Due to the lack of knowledge about this land and the fact that it stands at 10,000 feet above sea level, visitation by untrained people is not promoted. The result of this is that they arrive cold, dehydrated and dealing with altitude sickness.

The dome’s sleeping accommodations opened in 1975 with the capacity for thirty-three men. Now the two hundred men and women at the Pole crowd into every bed that is available. Prefabricated bunkhouses made of plywood, canvas and plastic can now be seen stretching down the glacier and carry the nickname of Summer Camp.

Fresh water is supplied in abundance at Summer Camp, so no one goes without. Limited luxuries, like showers, flushing the toilet, even laundry come from melting ice using expensive $12 a gallon fuel. It’s a long walk to the communal bathroom which can be slippery and bone chilling cold even though the sun is blazing at 3a.m.

The first women who came to Antarctica had to have military escorts. Today, however, women comprise fully one-third of the summer crew and are treated as equals. The Pole takes its toll on the work and the work force.

Research indicates that it takes three times as long to finish a basic task when people are working in extremely cold conditions. In cold weather, the brain produces more hormones for completing physical tasks, and decreases the hormones that your body needs to solve problems. This deteriorates further during the harsh winters.

Starting in mid February each year, no aircraft flies to the South Pole. A team of twenty-eight winter-over’s remains for the ensuing six months. And night will reign until October, when spring, the sun and the airplane will return.

Have you seen that other bird watcher, the one with the big smile, and the strange straps for his binoculars? The strapping system is called a binocular harness, and the reason he is smiling is from the lessons he’s learned. Here is the reasons a binocular harness can help you enjoy your day of bird watching.

1. No More Neck Strain - Everyone thinks of binoculars as being light, until they try a high quality set of optics. Suddenly those plastic toys from our childhood disappear into the background. High quality binoculars are heftier, and bulkier. Wearing their weight around your neck all day can create neck strain, and tension in your shoulders. With a binoculars harness, the weight transfers to your shoulders and back. Your discomfort is gone.

2. No More Swinging Binoculars - As you move around the park, moving, bending, turning, and walking, your binoculars are usually swinging with each movement. Unless you keep them in your hands all the time. Your binocular harness strap keeps your binoculars up against your body, and almost motionless as you move. Your hands are free to use for balance, or carrying other items.

3. No More Broken Binoculars - There is no guarantee you won’t break your binoculars, but the risk diminishes greatly. If you hand carry your binoculars, they are at the highest risk. You will have more chances to drop them or bump them into an obstacle. With a neck strap, and swinging binoculars you are still at a risk of damage. When you keep the binoculars against your body with a bino harness, it is in the safest location possible, other than sitting on the counter at home.

4. No more packing and unpacking your binoculars. Many bird watchers keep the binoculars in the case until they need them. They are safe and secure, and almost always a moment too late. You need your binoculars out and ready for viewing. Adding a Nikon Prostaff binocular harness for your Nikon binoculars allows you to keep them safe, and have them ready for action at the same time. You will get the binoculars out in the morning, and put them away at night.

Switching from a neck strap to a binocular harness takes a little getting used to. You are accustomed to the weight on your neck, and the neck massage at night. You’ll miss the swinging at every step. How will you ever justify new binoculars when this set is kept safe for years? Switching to a binoculars harness will be tough, no more fun complaining about the inconvenience of your binoculars. Or maybe, as most people who switch, you will fall in love at your first wearing of a binocular harness.

It only takes a bit to secure and is well worth the hassle. A fall with a safety harness has minimal damage compared to one without a safety harness. The safety harness could mean the difference between a few bruises and a premature death.

There are a few supplemental steps you need to consider while preparing to use a tree stand for the first time. Tree steps and tie-on ladders are two favorite methods used by hunters. Some also use threaded steel steps for climbing. Steel steps are best for the bargain hunter. They are cheaper than the ladders. Test the steel step to make sure that it is strong, steady, and secure. Use threaded steel steps that will amply support your weight. If the threaded steps bend, hunters slip and injure themselves. Use a drill to make pilot holes for the steps. Some hunters opt to use climbing stands rather than threaded steps, but they are less affordable and limit you to certain trees.

Deliberate the idea upon using a tree stand as you hunt. It is an powerful way to catch your prey off-guard. Both your body and your scent are above the deer’s vicinity. It also allows for a broader view as you study the landscape. Tree stands do make accidents, though. Take all of the necessary steps to forbid any major injuries. Use a safety harness to shorten the distance of your fall. Make sure that the steps you use to climb the tree are safe. Abiding by these guidelines for using a tree stand sees to it that you will have a safe and pleasant hunting experience.
