Fisherman Alfred Jensen went to the first ever single voyage across the Atlantic
June 25, 1876
On such a boat-dory Alfred Jensen crossed the Atlantic.
June 25, 1876, a fisherman from the village of Gloucester (New Jersey), Alfred Jensen on the boat ''Centennial'' went to the first ever single voyage across the Atlantic. Thus, he wanted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the independence of the United States of America.
In the sea he was guided by a simple boat compass and with the help of his fishing intuition. Geographic latitude Jensen determined by the duration of dawn and the onset of evening twilight. The fisherman adhered to temperate latitudes, avoiding approaching the equator and dangerous northern waters. Following this course, Jensen was thus going to reach the shores of Europe.
After 13 days of sailing, a squall flew into the boat, partially depriving Yensen of supplies. Later, a sailor noticed a ship, whose captain offered him a free transfer in exchange for some working services. However, Jensen refused. He wanted to swim across the ocean alone, without anyone's help, and show the world what ordinary American sailors can do.
On the southern coast of Ireland, "Centennial" fell into a storm that deprived Yensen of almost all supplies. Five days later he met the brig ''Alfredon''. The sailor again refused help, asking only to inform him of the coordinates of his whereabouts and some bread and water.
On August 10, Jensen arrived in the Welsh port of Aberkasl, crossing the Atlantic alone in 46 days. Later, he bought a large fishing schooner and for many years practiced fishing on the coastal shores of Newfoundland.
Today, the Slavs of the whole world - and there are more than 300 million of them - celebrate the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs.
Slavs represent the largest linguistic and cultural community of the peoples of the world. The total number of Slavs in the world is 300-350 million people. They distinguish western (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Kashubians and Lusatians), southern (Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Macedonians, Slovenes, Montenegrins) and Eastern Slavs (Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians, Rusyns).
Slavs make up the bulk of the population of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and live in all post-Soviet countries, also in Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Hungary, Greece, Germany, Austria, Italy, America and Australia.
Most of the Slavs are Christians, Bulgarians, Serbs, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Russians - mostly Orthodox. The exception of the Bosnians, who converted to Islam during Ottoman rule over southern Europe. Croats, Slovenes, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks are Lusatians are Catholics, there are many Catholics and Uniates among Ukrainians and Belarusians.
Every year June 25 is celebrated as the Day of the Seaman or, in a different way, the Day of the Navigator. The decision to celebrate was taken in 2010, when the member states of the International Maritime Organization, which are part of the United Nations, signed resolution No. 19 at the conference in Manila. The document emphasized that it was necessary to introduce the International Day of the Navigator, for appreciation the contribution of seafarers to the development of trade, the economy, science and civil society as a whole.
The holiday is dedicated to the sailors of the merchant fleet, because the Navy has its own holiday.
