fWotD Episode 2753: SMS Friedrich Carl Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 17 November 2024 is SMS Friedrich Carl.SMS Friedrich Carl was a German armored cruiser built in the early 1900s for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy). She was the second and final member of the Prinz Adalbert class, which was built to provide scouts for the German fleet and station ships in Germany's colonial empire. Friedrich Carl was built by the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. She was laid down in August 1901, launched in June 1902, and commissioned in December 1903. She was armed with a main battery of four 21 cm (8.3 in) guns and could reach a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).Friedrich Carl served with the scouting forces of the Active Battle Fleet for the first few years of her career, including a stint as the flagship of the reconnaissance squadron. She went on cruises abroad, including voyages escorting Kaiser Wilhelm II on tours in the Mediterranean Sea. She also participated in extensive training exercises in the Baltic and North Seas. In 1909, she was withdrawn from front-line service and used as a torpedo training ship until 1914.After the outbreak of World War I in July 1914, Friedrich Carl returned to active service for operations in the Baltic Sea against the Imperial Russian Navy. She served as the flagship of the cruiser squadron in the Baltic and participated in patrols in the Gulf of Finland. The ship was modified to carry a pair of seaplanes. In mid-November, the cruiser squadron was tasked with attacking the Russian base at Libau, but while en route on 17 November, Friedrich Carl struck a pair of naval mines. She remained afloat long enough for most of her crew to be taken off by the light cruiser SMS Augsburg before sinking; seven or eight men died as she sank.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Sunday, 17 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see SMS Friedrich Carl on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Gregory.

Piracy didn't spring into existence in the 18th century Caribbean. It has existed as long as there has been commercial shipping and people to steal the goods. There were medieval pirates. Vikings loved robbing ships in the Baltic and North Seas. The Romans dealt with pirates in the Mediterranean, and the Greeks and Carthaginians before them. Pirates are as much part of history as armies, taxes, and temples. Why do we associate pirates with one specific time and place in the 18th century Caribbean with eye patches and peg legs?Today's guest is Katherine Howe, author of “The Penguin Book of Pirates.” We go behind the eye patches, the peg legs, and the skull and crossbones of the Jolly Roger and into the no-man's-land of piracy that is rife with paradoxes and plot twists We look at real maritime marauders like the infamous Blackbeard; the pirates who inspired Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean,Stede Bonnet in Max's Our Flag Means Death, and the Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride; the egalitarian multi-ethnic and multilingual crews that became enmeshed in historical horrors like the slave trade; and lesser-known but no less formidable women pirates, many of whom disguised themselves as men.

The Bureau of Land Management owns 245 million acres of lands in the U.S, including about 40% of the lands in Utah. And to manage this landscape, the federal agency uses a doctrine of multiple use and sustained yield. That's why oil and gas, grazing, and recreation often co-exist on BLM lands. But what about conservation? Today on the news, we report on a rule that would clarify conservation as its own use on public lands. Plus, critics say a recent Supreme Court ruling is putting waterways at risk of pollution. And, communities across the West are preparing for flooding after a big snow season. // And later, the Weekly News Reel! Sophia Fisher of The Times-Independent discusses a new proposed resort near Ken's Lake, a potential wastewater treatment facility near Moonflower Canyon in Kane Creek, the future of Grand County's economic diversification funds following changes that abridged the original plan, and Times-Independent editor Doug McMurdo's adventures in Cataract Canyon. Alison Harford of the Moab Sun News talks about a nonprofit's plans to start construction on an affordable housing project in Green River. Plus, she tells us about the upcoming ArtWalk, and what's on the agenda for Pride Month in Moab. // Show Notes: // BLM Public Lands Rule https://www.blm.gov/public-lands-rule // Mountain West News Bureau: Supreme Court sides with Idaho couple, undercuts EPA's power to regulate wetlands https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/news/2023-05-30/supreme-court-sides-with-idaho-couple-undercuts-epas-power-to-regulate-wetlands // KDNK: Redstone residents band together to face flooding concerns https://www.kdnk.org/local-news/2023-06-01/redstone-residents-band-together-to-face-flooding-concerns // The Times-Independent: Ken's Lake resort approved for rezone https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/kens-lake-resort-approved-for-rezone/ // The Times-Independent: Kane Creek development pursues wastewater plant https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/kane-creek-development-pursues-wastewater-plant/ // The Times-Independent: Remaining diversification funds could bolster student center, business loans https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/remaining-diversification-funds-could-bolster-student-center-business-loans/ // The Times-Independent: The Old Man and the (North) Seas ​https://www.moabtimes.com/articles/the-old-man-and-the-north-seas/ // Moab Sun News: Green River nonprofit to build 10 new housing units https://moabsunnews.com/2023/06/01/canal-commons/ // Moab Sun News: June ArtWalk to highlight illustrators, photographers https://moabsunnews.com/2023/06/01/june-artwalk-2023/ // Moab Sun News: Celebrate Pride Month with Moab Pride https://moabsunnews.com/2023/06/01/celebrate-pride-month/

This special issue episode of the Ocean Governance Podcast combines discussions of a research article with reflections and interviews from the Connecting Seas MSP Conference held in February 2019 in Hamburg. In this episode we discuss practical challenges for transboundary marine spatial planning, with a particular focus on the Baltic and North Seas. What institutional conditions are needed for good regional cooperation on MSP? How can cooperation be fruitful despite significant differences in legislation, planning culture, the current phase of the MSP process, and possibly also focus of and expectations on MSP? The episode also raises issues related to the nature of MSP as both practical problem-solving and an expression of political priorities reflecting fundamental conceptions of sustainability. The article discussed in this episode is: H. Janßen, R. Varjopuro, A. Luttmann, A Morf, and H. Nieminen, Imbalances in interaction for transboundary marine spatial planning: Insights from the Baltic Sea Region, 161 Ocean and Coastal Management (2018) 201–210. The episode also includes parts of interviews made during the Connecting Seas Conference.

For shipowners, the clock is ticking on one of the shipping industry’s most significant air emission regulations. The IMO 2020 Global Sulfur Cap, due to take effect January 1, 2020, will mandate that shipowners burn 0.5% sulfur fuel to comply or use other means such as exhaust gas cleaning systems — so-called scrubbers — if they want to burn heavy fuel oil or operate their ships with dual fuel engines that can burn Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or another alternative fuel. All ships that operate outside current Emissions Control Areas (ECAs) will be required to use fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% while vessels operating within ECAs will be required to use fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content of 0.10%. Currently, there are ECAs in North America and the U.S. Caribbean, Baltic and North Seas, and along certain parts of the coast of China. To get some insight into the widespread ramifications of the IMO 2020 Sulfur Cap, we spoke with Kirsi Tikka, the well-respected ABS Executive Vice President and Senior Maritime Advisor, Global Marine. Tikka spoke with us about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the compliance options, as well as future IMO regulations regarding the reduction of CO2 emissions and greenhouse gases.
