Ep. 05 - 80th Anniversary: USS Arizona
12/07/21 • 23 min
Anniversaries. Important dates that we celebrate or commemorate in our lives. Usually, moments of happiness that we look back on as the years have passed by. These special dates marked on our calendars each year bring back memories like flicking through an old photo album.
They remind us to cherish these memories as time continues to moves along. Every year seeming to come quicker, as if time is some how speeding up.
We remember all of the ups and downs as each year passes while new memories are made and logged away.
That is the case for most anniversaries that we celebrate, such as the marriage to a spouse, another trip around the sun, or just a simple special event that has taken place in our lives.
These events are important to us. So we mark them off on the calendar each year in anticipation.
Other anniversaries though, may be a bit more bleak. Not all bring back joyous memories of times past. Such as the loss of a loved one, or an event that shook us to our core that we can’t help but forget.
And for millions of Americans this year on December 7th, those memories will return. It will be the 80th year since the attack on the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor.

How did "Black Sam Bellamy" become the wealthiest pirate in history, with only just a little over a year in piracy? The truth is more complex than what appears on the surface. The key lies in his early mistreatment as a young sailor, and the lead up to the democratic way he ran his fleet.

Ep. 06 - Consequences: SS Princess Sophia
Decisions. We as human beings are met with multiple decisions that we must make on a daily basis.
What to wear, what to eat, the list goes on and on. These require little to no thought and carry almost no weight on our everyday lives.
Some important decisions though, can stick with us for a lifetime. Adding unwanted stress on top of an already difficult situation. And that added stress can begin to bear down on us. Stress, that can have a lasting effect on what we ultimately decide to do.
Fortunately for us though, most difficult decisions we are met with, only affect ourselves and maybe a handful of other people in our lives.
For the majority, we will rarely, if ever, be met with a decision that can have a lasting impact on dozens of people.
But on January 8th of 1904, Captain George Roberts aboard the SS Clallam would be met with a situation, that required a decision as such.
