who inherited everything was in a ten-year legal battle with Jean-Michel for control of Calypso. Now Calypso has been, is being renovated at a shipyard in Brittany with a grant from Carnival Cruise Lines of all people. And supposedly will sail next spring, again; knock on wood.
And then the subcontract of building the carbon fiber pieces was made in a shipyard . So it's a shipyard who has built the most crazy airplane existing today. But not any shipyard .
So it's a shipyard who has built the most crazy airplane existing today. But not any shipyard . No, it's the one who builds the hulls of the Alinghi boats for the America's Cup.
So of course, today everybody speaks of Oracle. But Alinghi same shipyard won the America's Cup twice. Twice, yeah. Do the quality of the construction.
Richmond was the site of the Kaiser Shipyards , which was the major shipbuilding center here on the West Coast. There were no shipyards there before the war. By the end of the war, there were five Kaiser Shipyards employing 100,000 workers.
which meant that a worker breathing normally could inhale over 300 million asbestos particles an hour and still be considered within guidelines. This became especially problematic for shipyard workers when World War II broke out, ships were packed with asbestos insulation. So workers spent their days cutting and fitting asbestos in thick clouds of fibers.
The foundation said, look your theory's really great, Professor Piccard, but we want you to get with the French Navy. Go to the French naval shipyard in Toulon. They make submarines, things like that.
1953. Why is a called Trieste? It was built in the Adriatic shipyard near Trieste, Italy. And it was built with all donated goods and services.
to live. A good example here in this area is Richmond, California, just north of Berkeley, just across the Bay. Richmond was the site of the Kaiser Shipyards , which was the major shipbuilding center here on the West Coast. There were no shipyards there before the war.
marine wildlife. But we also show films that are how we engage with the ocean, and appreciate it, and have fun with it, from surfing, My sailboat marina's where they had Kaiser Shipyard Number Two, where they built 734 Liberty Ships in four years.
Any certainty one way or the other would have raised uncomfortable questions about the disposal of human remains. And those noncommittal hmm's from the boys down at the shipyard seemed to give everyone enough leeway to believe that things had been resolved in a way that Billy would have appreciated." I should warn you, people tend to die in my stories, I mean, not like horror ..
themselves as a designer an architect someone who has agency in their City a really good example of that is is a project called decoil in Amsterdam which was formerly this industrial Shipyard it was actually um toxic soil because of all the years of of industrial activity and um the city allocated this land and put in a
It built housing for African-Americans, segregated housing, in Richmond for African-Americans, temporary housing, not well constructed along the railroad tracks and in the industrial area of the shipyards . It was temporary because the City of Richmond announced that any African-Americans who came to Richmond during the war would have to leave
Across the Bay, in Marin, Marin City, there was another shipyard , Marin Ship. And there, the shipyards grew so rapidly that workers came without their families to work in the shipyards . And the administrators of the barracks that they built to house these workers had to accommodate them so quickly that they just
He brought the technical team together. And then the subcontract of building the carbon fiber pieces was made in a shipyard . So it's a shipyard who has built the most crazy airplane existing today.
These crystals split easily along their length and they create these fine flexible fibers that are still extraordinarily strong with tensile strengths comparable to high grade steel wire. This type went into chemical-resistant insulation, shipyards , and even filters inside early gas masks. Oh, and there was another use, one that's hard to believe now.
This is not Palo Alto's issue or San Jose's issue. It's not going to be unique to the Hunter's Point shipyards .
light hits them that is what reduces, it is almost a, it's a chemical compound that mimics what a skunk smells like, truly. it. It was the porters on the shipyards of uh England that were doing all the Hallie: Portering-- Christina: moving and shaking and they drank this beer for breakfast, they drank it for
So Selikoff had to get creative. See, during World War II, many shipyard workers employed by the Navy underwent federal background checks. Thousands of these men had been working with asbestos to insulate ships.
And that's where I spent my days. You you'd asked me, I'd have told you at the time that all the shipyard workers were black. Because the only people I saw where the people that came to my window to get their addresses changed on three by five
And as you can see, it worked. But I was nowhere near the shoreline, nowhere near a shipyard . I never saw a ship under construction.
That's why you're seeing in this diagram that there's no real bands on here sort of holding all the bits together. Another Trieste was built here at Mare Island, San Francisco Bay Naval Shipyard .
There were no shipyards there before the war. By the end of the war, there were five Kaiser Shipyards employing 100,000 workers. I don't know if you can imagine what a community is like if it grows from-- Richmond had 20,000 residents before the war.
their medical histories. What emerged wasn't a handful of isolated tragedies, it was a pattern, that exposure proved deadlier than combat itself. 8.6 out of every 1,000 servicemen were killed in action, whereas 14 out of every 1,000 shipyard workers later died from asbestos-related cancers. Selikoff launched a formal investigation into hundreds of asbestos insulation workers, and what he found confirmed his fears, widespread disabling asbestosis,
by asbestos filtration. People aren't just eating it and breathing it, they're mainlining it. - By the 1970s, no one could deny it any longer, miners, factory workers, shipyard insulators, people who'd been exposed decades earlier during the asbestos boom, were now turning up with multiple cancers in huge numbers.
And people yeah, you're right. with these percussionists. We didn't have any place to rehearse, so we went out to this old abandoned shipyard and we beat on pieces of metal.
And the tragedy of all this is that it didn't need to happen because we have an existence proof here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Across the Bay, in Marin, Marin City, there was another shipyard , Marin Ship. And there, the shipyards grew so rapidly that workers came without their families to work in the shipyards .
We're bridging the gap between the arena and what is quote, unquote, "Midtown," on the other side of Martin Luther King, where it was kind of the Cass corridor. But the shipping container facility, you may have read about, the Detroit shipyard is right next to us. So that's being built, as well.
after the war was over. And it built more sturdy housing, permanent housing, for white workers in the shipyards further inland where the white families, the white residential neighborhoods existed.
built by another developer, David Bohannon, or Levittown. In Mountain View-- well, here in Richmond, one of the-- I write about this a lot in the book-- in addition to the shipyards , there
