A description of how special ships can be connected so as to form a
train style marine transportation system.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established
the Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) in 1975 as a cooperative
endeavor with the cruise vessel industry. VSP's goal is to assist
the industry to develop and implement comprehensive sanitation
programs to protect the health of passengers and crew aboard cruise
vessels.
Opened on 17 July 1761, the canal has a special place in history as
the first to be built in Britain without following an existing
watercourse, and so became a model for those that followed.
Affectionately known as the 'Duke's Cut', the Bridgewater Canal
revolutionised transport in this country and marked the beginning
of the golden canal age, which lasted from 1760 to 1830. However,
as the rail network surpassed the canals as a method of
transporting goods, the canal fell into disuse and in 1963, just
before the great canal revival, the impressive Runcorn locks were
filled in. We may still see them again as there are new plans to
restore the locks, but the canal remains popular with walkers and
pleasure boaters. In this new book, authors Jean and John Bradburn
take the reader on a fascinating journey, and show just how the
Bridgewater Canal has changed and developed through time.
