Varied Kinds.
Every part of the globe has different types of fishing boats both new and old. It would seem that everyone has adapted their boats to deal with their local sea conditions. My book may be a bit out of date now, but it records that there are of twenty-eight different types of Trawlers, Seiner and Stern trawlers.
From inshore boats to deep water and various types of Lobster and speciality fishing.boats, these vessels use a variety of mechanics to lift a choice of five types of nets Trawling, Seining, Purse Seining, Long lining and Drifting.
Most deep water boats are designed to roll with the waves and this may help them not to capsize?
Bigger fishing vessels are known as Factory ships and Whalers, there is a huge demand in the worlds supermarkets and wholesalers for processed fish and tined varieties to.

Light Rail.
Metro to Docklands.
If you ever pop up or are on a visit to London, please make to effort to ride the DLR from Bank to Greenwich. It will be worth your while and an interesting experience.
Light rail is that sort of in between railway, it is neither a tram or a train, but it fills a needed gap in urban transportation requirements. The movement of people, especially in rush hours is a vital aset to ones transport system and is a alternative.
The Dublin DART, Liverpool and Newcastle METRO perhaps are the best examples of this system along with the east-London DLR.
I hope to cover this subject in closer detail in the next few months.

Microlights. Part-Two.
From the Wright Brothers.
With the invention of the first air plane, which was a glider with an engine, there has since been an explosion of design and invention. But in all human achievements to fly, people have always wanted their own basic simple machine to be as near as possible to being a real bird.
So the Microlight gives the pilot this experience to be in control of their machine and to enjoy slower manoeuvrable flight. The commercial market is dominated by dozens of kit build aircraft from the simple and basic to a small single engined plane.
Meanwhile there are also various hand gliders, and other none powered machines. You will find a selection of them on my You Tube 121jaykay, which fly locally.

Buses and Coaches. Part-One.
From the Charrabang.
It all started from some rich and well too do people wanting to go out for the day. With the introduction of the Charrabang a open coach based on a lorry, so began modern coaching and that is how it stayed up to at least the 1960's.
The Bus has a different history in that it developed from the horse drawn tram and was more of a Metropolitan mass mover of people, light goods and animals. With the advent of the 1920's and a surplus fleet of vehicles, after World War-I (1914-18) the motor engine bus came to the fore. Early vehicles like their cousins the Electric trams started with open roofs on the top deck.
