Kobe Maritime Museum - museus marítimos, aquarios e afins pelo mundo inteiro

Kobe Maritime Museum

With its characteristic white space frame roof giving the impression of sailboat racing across the vast ocean, the Kobe Maritime Museum offers a look at the international port city of Kobe. Under the concept of, “Born from the sea and port, sailing into the future with Kobe,” the Maritime Museum opened in 1987 to celebrate the Port of Kobe’s 120th anniversary, marking 120 years since the modern Port of Kobe was opened in 1868. Offering a glimpse at ship construction and a look at port facilities and the appeal of cruise ships, the museum is a place where visitors can experience the history and future of the seas, ships, and ports. Through resources including actual navigation instruments, riggings, and ship records, diorama models, videos, and graphics, visitors are introduced to the past, present, and future of the seas, ships, and ports around Kobe in an easy-to-understand way. Also, a part of the Meriken wharf, damaged in the Great Hanshin earthquake, is preserved as the Port of Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park. This memorial park acts to convey the messages learned from the earthquake to future generations. Opened in 2006, Kawasaki Good Times World can also be found right nearby. This corporate museum is operated by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which has helped the city advance since the Port of Kobe first opened.

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom - museus marítimos, aquarios e afins pelo mundo inteiro

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom Whale Shark Exhibit Aquarium (珠海长隆海洋王国),

 located inside the immense "Chimelong International Ocean Resort" theme park in Hengqin (China), is the largest and best aquarium in the world featuring none less than five whale sharks as well as an abundance of other species like manta rays, corals and sharks.

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom has set the Guinness World Records for having the world's biggest underwater viewing dome and the world's largest aquarium tank. A giant 63 meters blue whale shark statue towers over the world's largest aquarium, making it also a remarkable sight from outside. The award for the world's largest tank was given to this aquarium because the record volume of 22.7 million liter includes strictly the main tank (while the 24 million liter capacity of the Georgia Aquarium consists of the main tank, rear holding tank, filters, and pipes).

The Aquarium can be reached from Macau by bus or taxi in ca. 30 minutes or from Hong Kong in ca. 2 hours.

Determining elevations above mean SEA-level - My favorites quotes from the famous Bowditch

"Vertical surveying is the process of determining elevations above mean SEA-level. In geodetic surveys executed primarily for mapping, geodetic positions are referred to an ellipsoid, and the elevations of the positions are referred to the geoid. However, for satellite geodesy the geoidal heights must be considered to establish the correct height above the geoid."

Accurate time at SEA - My favorites quotes from the famous Bowditch

Navigators have made latitude observations for thousands of years. Accurate declination tables for the Sun have been published for centuries, enabling ancient SEAmen to compute latitude to within 1 or 2 degrees. Those who today determine their latitude by measuring the Sun at their meridian and the altitude of Polaris are using methods well known to 15th century navigators.

A method of finding longitude eluded mariners for centuries. Several solutions independent of time proved too cumbersome. Finding longitude by magnetic variation was tried, but found too inaccurate. The lunar distacnce method, which determines GMT by observing the Moon’s position among the stars, became popular in the 1800s. However, the mathematics required by most of these processes were far above the abilities of the average seaman. It was apparent that the solution lay in keeping accurate time at SEA.
