Kołobrzeg Lighthouse is on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea, located in Kołobrzeg (West Pomeranian Voivodeship). The history of the Kołobrzeg Lighthouse dates back to 1666. In World War II the lighthouse was blown up by German engineers as it was a good look-out point for the Polish artillery in March 1945. After the Second World War the lighthouse was built at a slightly different location from the original, using the foundations of the fort buildings complex located close to the town. The lighthouse is 26 metres tall, with the range of its light glare being 29.6 kilometres.

SS KÖNIG ALBERT
Germany

SS König Albert was a German ocean liner owned by the Norddeutscher Lloyd Line of Bremen. The ship was built by Stettiner Vulcan of Stettin, and launched in 1899. She sailed on her maiden voyage from Hamburg, via the Suez Canal to the Far East. She completed eight round voyages on this service and was then transferred on 3 March 1903 to the Bremen - Cherbourg - New York City route for a single voyage. On 16 April 1903 she went to the Genoa - Naples - New York City run and stayed mainly on this service until commencing her last voyage on 11 June 1914. Interned in Italy at the outbreak of World War I, she was seized by the Italian Government in 1915, renamed the Ferdinando Palasciano and converted to a hospital ship. On 20 January 1916 off the Albanian coast she was captured as a prize by the Austro-Hungarian Navy U-boat U-11, and escorted into their naval base of Cattaro. She was later handed back to the Italians. In 1920, the ship was chartered to Navigazione Generale Italiana of Genoa and on 15 June 1920 commenced her first voyage Genoa - Naples - New York. She completed six round trip voyages on this route, the last one commencing 13 April 1921. She was used also as a transport for the Royal Italian Navy, before being scrapped in 1926.

[The London County Council Tramways was an extensive network of public street tramways that was operated by the council throughout the County of London, UK, from 1899 to 1933, when they were taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board. On 15 May 1903 the first electrified section from Westminster to Tooting was opened by The Prince and Princess of Wales who rode the route in a specially decorated tramcar, and paid their fares with halfpenny coins minted for the occasion. The last horse tram ran on the 30 April 1915. Much of the system used a conduit system of electrical current, as the metropolitan boroughs had the power of veto on the installation of overhead wires.]

SYDNEY FERRIES (Australia). Cruise the Harbour brochure (1997)

SYDNEY FERRIES (Australia). Cruise the Harbour informative brochure. (6.1997)
[Sydney Ferries is a statutory authority of the New South Wales Government, operating a fleet of 28 ferries and providing commuter ferry services on Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River in Sydney, Australia. The earliest known ferry to operate on Port Jackson was The Rose Hill Packet (commonly known as "The Lump") which was built in 1789, and ran to Parramatta. This and other small boats carried cargo and passengers across the harbour and its estuaries. Sydney Ferries started life as a private sector company. In 1861, the North Shore Ferry Company was formed operating a ferry service across Sydney Harbour. The company was restructured and the name was changed to the North Shore Ferry Company in 1878. In 1899, after a series of mergers, the company was renamed Sydney Ferries Limited. At one point, Sydney Ferries Limited was the largest operator of ferries on the world. In 1951, Sydney Ferries Limited was facing financial difficulties, and on 1 July 1951 the company was acquired by the New South Wales Government. Meanwhile, up until 1972, the Manly ferry service had been operated independently by the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company, a publicly listed company on the Sydney Stock Exchange. On 19 April 1972, the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company was acquired by Brambles Industries Limited. Following a threat by Brambles to reduce the Manly ferry services, the New South Wales Government arranged for the Public Transport Commission to take over the service as from 1 December 1974. The Public Transport Commission later became the Urban Transit Authority of New South Wales, and then the State Transit Authority. In 2004, the Sydney Ferries Corporation was formed out of the State Transit Authority. In December 2008, the state owned corporation reverted to a statutory authority.]
