9 (nine) is the natural number following and preceding . Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, various Indians wrote a digit 9 similar in shape to the modern closing question mark without the bottom dot. The Kshatrapa, Andhra and Gupta started curving the bottom vertical line coming up with a -look-alike. The Nagari continued the bottom stroke to make a circle and enclose the 3-look-alike, in much the same way that the sign @ encircles a lowercase ''a''. As time went on, the enclosing circle became bigger and its line continued beyond the circle downwards, as the 3-look-alike became smaller. Soon, all that was left of the 3-look-alike was a squiggle. The Arabs simply connected that squiggle to the downward stroke at the middle and subsequent European change was purely cosmetic.

AG Vulcan Stettin
Aktien-Gesellschaft Vulcan Stettin (short AG Vulcan Stettin) was a German shipbuilding and locomotive building company. Founded in 1851, it was located near the former eastern German city of Stettin, today Polish Szczecin. Because of the limited facilities in Stettin, in 1907 an additional yard was built in Hamburg. The now named Vulcan-Werke Hamburg und Stettin Actiengesellschaft constructed some of the most famous civilian German ships and it played a significant role in both World Wars, building warships for the Kaiserliche Marine and the Kriegsmarine later. Both yards became members of the Deschimag in the 1920s. The Stettin shipyard was closed in 1928, opened again in 1939. During World War II it exploited slave workers, and after the war, was taken over by the Polish government, while the Hamburg yard was sold to Howaldtswerke AG in 1930 and the ''Locomotive Department'' was sold to in Berlin History A.G.

SS Deutschland (1900)
SS ''Deutschland'' was a passenger liner built in Stettin and launched in 1900 by the Hamburg America Line of Germany. The rival North German Lloyd line had launched Germany's first four funnel liner, in 1897, and SS ''Deutschland'' was built by Hamburg America as Germany's second four-funnel liner in order to compete. Although ''SS Deutschland'' was able to capture the Blue Riband from ''Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse'', crossing the Atlantic Ocean in just over five days, she suffered from persistent engine issues, and was withdrawn from transatlantic service in 1910 after just ten years. At this time she was renamed ''Viktoria Luise'' and converted to a dedicated cruise ship. As ''Viktoria Luise'' she saw brief service in World War I. Because of the bad condition of the ship after the World War, it was not seized by the Allies and was for a time the only remaining large steam ship sailing under a German flag. In 1921 she was converted again into an immigrant ship and renamed ''Han ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
RMS Empress Of Scotland (1906)
RMS ''Empress of Scotland'', originally SS ''Kaiserin Auguste Victoria'', was an ocean liner built in 1905–1906 by Vulcan AG shipyard in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) for the Hamburg America Line. The ship regularly sailed between Hamburg and New York City until the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914. At the end of hostilities, re-flagged as USS ''Kaiserin Auguste Victoria'', she transported American troops from Europe to the United States. For a brief time Cunard sailed the re-flagged ship between Liverpool and New York. The ship was refitted for Canadian Pacific Steamships (CP) and in 1921, she was renamed ''Empress of Scotland''—the first of two CP ships to bear that name. The vessel ended service in 1930 and was sold for scrap. During the demolition of the ship, the vessel caught fire, broke in two and sank. The hulls were raised and scrapped. Service history ''Kaiserin Auguste Victoria'' was built by AG Vulcan Stettin in Stettin on the Baltic in 1905–1906. The new ...

SS George Washington
SS ''George Washington'' was an ocean liner built in 1908 for the Bremen-based North German Lloyd and was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. The ship was also known as USS ''George Washington'' (ID-3018) and USAT ''George Washington'' in service of the United States Navy and United States Army, respectively, during World War I. In the interwar period, she reverted to her original name of SS ''George Washington''. During World War II, the ship was known as both USAT ''George Washington'' and, briefly, as USS ''Catlin'' (AP-19), in a short, second stint in the U.S. Navy. When ''George Washington'' was launched in 1908, she was the largest German-built steamship and the third-largest ship in the world. ''George Washington'' was built to emphasize comfort over speed and was sumptuously appointed in her first-class passenger areas. The ship could carry a total of 2,900 passengers, and made her maiden voyage in January 1909 to New York. In June 1911 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
