1936 Pacific Hurricane Season
The 1936 Pacific hurricane season ran through the summer and fall of 1936. Before the weather satellite, satellite age started in the 1960s, data on east Pacific hurricanes was extremely unreliable.

Systems Tropical Storm One Just off the coast of Guatemala, a tropical storm was reported on June 8. It headed north, and sometime after June 9 made landfall. It crossed the isthmus, and it emerged into the Gulf of Honduras. The system then became the 1936 Atlantic hurricane season#Tropical Storm One, first tropical storm of the 1936 Atlantic hurricane season. This cyclone's lowest measured pressure while located in the Pacific Ocean was . This tropical storm caused heavy rains over parts of Central America, especially the Yucatán and British Honduras. Possible Tropical Cyclone Two On June 22, there was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Magdalena Bay
Magdalena Bay ( es, Bahía Magdalena) is a long bay in Comondú Municipality along the western coast of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. It is protected from the Pacific Ocean by the unpopulated sandy barrier islands of Isla Magdalena and Isla Santa Margarita. Ecology This bay is particularly noted for the seasonal migration of the California gray whales that come here during winter to calve. The bay is also popular for commercial and sports fishing. Nearby mangrove swamps provide sanctuaries for sea birds. The bay includes the small fishing port of San Carlos, as well as Puerto López Mateos, which provides a good place to observe the whales. Islands Sandy barrier islands Isla Magdalena and Isla Santa Margarita separate the bay from the Pacific Ocean. Magdalena, mostly to the north and facing northwest, is a long, slender, segmented island that parallels the coast a few miles north. There is a small settlement, Puerto Magdalena mostly active during whale wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1936 Pacific Typhoon Season
In 1936, there were 33 tropical cyclones across the northwestern Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line, including two that persisted from the previous year. There were at least 19 typhoons, which are tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 119 kilometres per hour (74 mph). The year's strongest observed typhoon was in August, when the '' Fathomer'' rode out the storm in along the northern Philippines island of Luzon, observing a barometric pressure of 913 mbar (26.96 inHg).

SS California (1928)
SS ''California'' was the World's first major ocean liner built with turbo-electric transmission. When launched in 1927 she was also the largest merchant ship yet built in the US, although she was a modest size compared with the biggest European liners of her era. In 1938 ''California'' was renamed SS ''Uruguay''. From 1942 to 1946 she was operated through agents by the War Shipping Administration as the troopship ''Uruguay''. She was returned to civilian service as SS ''Uruguay'' in 1948, laid up in 1954 and scrapped in 1964. Building ''California'' was the first of three sister ships built by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Newport News, Virginia for the Panama Pacific Lines, a subsidiary of American Line Steamship Corporation which was a part of J. P. Morgan's International Mercantile Marine Coompany. ''California'' was the largest American built passenger liner at the time. The ship's keel was laid 20 March 1926 as hull number 325, launched on 1 October ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ocean Liner
An ocean liner is a passenger ship primarily used as a form of transportation across seas or oceans. Ocean liners may also carry cargo or mail, and may sometimes be used for other purposes (such as for pleasure cruises or as hospital ships). Cargo vessels running to a schedule are sometimes called ''liners''. The category does not include ferry, ferries or other vessels engaged in short-sea trading, nor dedicated cruise ships where the voyage itself, and not transportation, is the primary purpose of the trip. Nor does it include tramp steamers, even those equipped to handle limited numbers of passengers. Some shipping companies refer to themselves as "lines" and their container ships, which often operate over set routes according to established schedules, as "liners". Ocean liners are usually strongly built with a high Freeboard (nautical), freeboard to withstand rough seas and adverse conditions encountered in the open ocean. Additionally, they are often designed with thicker H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Panama Pacific Line
Panama Pacific Line was a subsidiary of International Mercantile Marine (IMM) established to carry passengers and freight between the US East and West Coasts via the Panama Canal. Although IMM had begun preparations for this intercoastal service as far back as 1911, service began in May 1915 with the former Red Star Line (another IMM subsidiary line) ships and . When landslides in September 1915 closed the canal for an extended time, ''Kroonland'' and ''Finland'' were reassigned to the IMM's American Line. The outbreak of World War I and its strain on international shipping caused the intercoastal service to be suspended. In 1923 ''Kroonland'' and ''Finland'' were returned to the reinstated intercoastal route along with the American Line passenger steamer . ''Manchuria''s sister ship supplanted ''Kroonland'' on the route in 1925. Three ships with steam turbo generators and turbo-electric transmission — , ''Virginia'' and ''Pennsylvania'' — came into service in 1928–29, r ...
