Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh in 1847. His father was a world-famous teacher of speech and the inventor of a system which he called «Visible Speech». It helped deaf persons to pronounce words they could not hear. Alexander chose the same profession, and as his father became a teacher of the deaf, he moved to the United States and began to teach deaf children to speak. At the same time he worked at improving his father’s invention.

In 1866, the nineteen year old Bell started thinking about harmonic telegraph which could send tones electrically from one place to another. Bell was not a scientist so he had to give all his energy and time to one thing only – knowledge of electricity. It was Alexander Graham Bell, who on the 10th of March, 1876 had invented the telephone.

Nautical English

Every captain finds it necessary to know English. A seafarer has to learn a professional vocabulary, that of nautical English.

Seafarers use 8,000 words that are not in current use on land. Of course, seamen do not have to know them all, except those to be used in orders affecting the movement of the ship.

Englishmen had trouble with two of them for a long time. It is known that «starboard» means the right-hand side of the ship facing the bow: or front, and that «port» means the left-hand side.

But up to not very long ago, they were known as «starboard» and «larboard». On windy, stormy nights, many helmsmen mistook one for the other and turned the wheel the wrong way. This worried and irritated so many ships' masters, that they changed «larboard» to «port» and everyone was happy.
