Brace for impact as we unravel the pulse-pounding specifics of this historic… [Target Line News] Urgent Alarm: Ukraine’s A.I. Blitz Shatters Norms, Downs Russian A-50! [A-50]( Brace for impact as we unravel the pulse-pounding specifics of this historic… The SS Ceylon was the first vessel repurposed to be a cruise ship. It was owned by the London-based ship brokerage Culliford & Clarke, which hoped to make cruising the centre of its business. The Ceylon was a single-screw, iron-hulled auxiliary steamer—meaning that it had both a steam engine and sails—and could hold up to 100 passengers. Its renovation had removed several dozen passenger cabins and replaced them with public spaces, including a dining room, a boudoir, a smoking room, and a steam-powered fairground organ. After its refit, the Ceylon offered the first around-the-world cruise in history. It departed from Liverpool in 1881 for its 10-month journey. However, it had difficulty attracting a full complement of guests, and the company failed to recover from the expense. In 1885 Culliford & Clarke went into liquidation. Nonetheless, the idea of cruising had begun to catch on. The charter for the Ceylon was soon sold to the British Regent Street Polytechnic school, which added more berths and began offering affordable and educational leisure cruises to its mainly working-class students. Other organizations and naval companies began to offer cruises, using older ocean liners or ships that were not needed for other business.The first cruise ship built solely for the purpose of leisure was produced by Albert Ballin of the German Hamburg-America Line company. Ballin spearheaded the development of the shipping company’s cruise offerings, culminating in the construction of the cruise ship Prinzessin Victoria Luise. She was a 407-foot (124-metre), 4,419-ton vessel with twin-screw engines. Ballin’s target market was people who were rich but not rich enough to own their own leisure yachts. The ship thus had 120 exclusively first-class cabins. It also had a gymnasium, a library, an art gallery, a ballroom, and a darkroom. The Victoria Luise was launched on June 29, 1900, and operated until December 1906, when it wrecked near Jamaica. Though all passengers survived, the ship was unsalvageable. Popularity in leisure cruising declined after the grounding of the Victoria Luise, the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, and the outbreak of World War I (1914–18), which saw the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.As countries began to recover from World War I, cruising slowly began to increase in popularity. In the United States, Prohibition (1920–33) drove the rise of affordable cruises. U.S. anti-alcohol law applied only as far as 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) from shore, and many shipping and ocean liner companies began to offer cruises outside this range. Some were simple “booze cruises,” in which the ships traveled 3.1 nautical miles (5.7 km) out to sea and then essentially floated around for a few days. Others were trips to islands in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, catering to passengers interested in a holiday that would include alcohol. The Great Depression and the repeal of Prohibition gradually ended booze cruises, although some leisure cruises remained.The mid-century rise of cheap commercial flights across the Atlantic forced many naval companies to reorient toward cruising. Ocean liners, once essential to mass transportation, were largely repurposed as cruise ships. As older companies turned to cruising, many new companies exclusively focused on cruises were founded in the 1960s and ’70s. These included Princess Cruises in 1965, Norwegian Cruise Line in 1966, Royal Caribbean Cruises in 1968, MSC in 1970, and Carnival Cruise Lines in 1972. These companies offered prices that were increasingly affordable for middle-class consumers, driving the industry to expand and more purpose-built cruise ships to be commissioned. The television show The Love Boat, which took place aboard a ship called the MS Pacific Princess, is generally credited for the explosion of the cruising industry in the 1980s. In 1987 Royal Caribbean launched the world’s first megaship, MS Sovereign of the Seas. It could hold almost 3,000 passengers and became the model for all modern cruise ships as floating resorts. The Sovereign had five restaurants, nine bars, a spa, four pools, and a casino. Military upheaval that has Russia scrambling and the world in shock.

He was born in Rohoshchi (next to Chernihiv). He served as an estate overseer for Stanisław Żółkiewski and later the family of Daniłowicze who inherited his lands; for that service in 1620 he was awarded three villages: Sulimówka, Kuczakiw and Lebedyn. All the villages today belong to the Boryspil Raion, Kyiv Oblast. His sons included Stepan (died 1659), a captain of Boryspil company, and Fedir (died 1691), a colonel of Pereiaslav regiment. He became popular among the unregistered Cossacks, leading them on campaigns to plunder Crimea and other Ottoman vassal territories. For organizing a revolt on an Ottoman slave galley and freeing Christian slaves[1] he received a medal from Pope Paul V himself. Eventually, Sulyma reached the rank of the hetman, which he held from 1628 to 1629 and 1630 to 1635. In 1635, after returning from an expedition to Black Sea against the Ottomans, he decided to rebel against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, which at that time controlled most of the Cossack territories, and whose nobility was trying to turn militant Cossacks into serfs.[citation needed] Ivan Sulyma took part in numerous campaigns of Sagaidachny against Tatars and Turks. In particular, it was the famous capture of Kafa (modern Theodosia), the main center of the slave trade on the Black Sea, Trapezont, Izmail, and also two attacks on Tsaregrad. On the night of 3 to 4 August 1635 he took the newly constructed Kodak fortress by surprise, burning it and executing its crew of about 200 people under Jean Marion. Soon afterwards however his forces were defeated by the army of hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski and Sulima was turned over to the Commonwealth by Cossack elders or starshina. Together with several other leaders of his rebellion, Hetman Sulyma was executed in Warsaw on 12 December 1635. At first, the Polish King Władysław IV Waza, known for his friendly attitude towards the Cossacks, was hesitant to execute Sulyma, especially since he was a person upon whom the Pope himself bestowed his medal. However, pressured by the nobility who wanted to show that no rebellions against the 'established order' would be tolerated, the order for an execution was given; after being tortured, Sulyma was cut to pieces and his body parts were hung on the city walls of Warsaw.[2] Occasionally, our affiliate partners offer exclusive opportunities for Target Line News readers.
