Sound

Flusser, who was personally firing the first shots, was struck by a fragment of a Dahlgren shell rebounding from the iron side of the ram and instantly killed.

His successor in command, seeing that if he remained he would simply be sacrificing his vessel uselessly, retired down the river to Albemarle Sound.

The post of Plymouth, surrounded on every side, fell into the hands of the Confederates.

The destruction of the Albemarle was thenceforward the principal object of the naval squadron in the Sound.

Captain Melanchthon Smith, an able and experienced officer, was dispatched to the scene of action for that his special service.

He rapidly made the necessary arrangements for attack.

His main reliance was upon his guns and torpedoes.

Ramming was to be resorted to in the discretion of commanders, though the peculiar construction of the double enders of which his fleet consisted rendered this a doubtful expedient.

The treatment plants have...

Since I've been doing this even, the Department of Ecology and other government agencies, most of them are outfalls into the Sound, the Duwamish, into a river that goes into the Sound.

The Sound has been a constant concern of pollution and everything in there.

So what they've had to do is they've had to treat a redo of like the Renton sewer treatment plant when they built that or Brightwater.

most of the stuff that went into that infrastructure was not necessarily to get more houses, gain more population.

Impacts due to increasing temperatures.

August 2012, Dominion Resources Millstone Nuclear Power Station in Connecticut shut down one reactor because the temperature of the intake cooling water withdrawn from the Long Island Sound was too high and exceeded technical specifications of the reactor.

Water temperatures were the warmest since operations began in 1970.

While no power outages were reported, the two-week shutdown resulted in the loss of 255,000 MWh of power, worth several million dollars.

In addition to the regulatory limits on thermal discharges from once through cooling for power plants, several other factors influence the vulnerability of these power plants to higher water temperatures.

These factors include the location of the water intake, depth and distance from shore, the location of the outlet, the fluid velocities of the inlet and outlet, screening mechanisms, measures to reduce biofouling on heat exchanger surfaces, turbulence and pressure changes within the heat exchangers, and natural temperature distributions within the water column.

For example, Unit 2 at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station was shut down in August 2012 after temperatures in Long Island Sound exceeded the maximum temperature at which the nuclear power plant is permitted to extract cooling water.

However, Unit 3, which pulls water from deeper and cooler waters in the Sound, continued to operate.

So A little bit of action, that was just Jeanette's, and again, all the piers are having similar fishing as it stands right now.

So we will take a little break, and I'll come back and talk to you a little bit about what's happening behind the Inlets, behind Hatteras Island, back in the Sound.

Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back.

Electricity.

The whole thing about the drum fishing is knowing about tide cycles, currents, moon cycles.

uh fishing logs from previous years when because they're moving all the time around in the sound so one day they might be over on the western sound uh off bell haven swan quarter one day they might be below wanshees or back of oregon inlet and they've been there just recently and then other days they're back uh okra coke and hatteras so you never know where you're going to find them but that fishing has been uh pretty darn good i mentioned the flounder fishing I saw one yesterday that was seven pounds, and that was a really nice slab of a flounder, a doormat, as they call them.

And then there's still some other stuff in the Sound, too, some spots and croakers and some bluefish.

They look like they were two to four pounds, the ones I saw.

Okay.

You're up in the Sound then is where you grew up.

In the

fjords of the Pacific Northwest.

One hopes that somehow the survivors had been taken home and were already in the enjoyment of their ten years' pay, but one fears that their last home was in the warm mud of that fatal creek.

The Dolphin anchored in the Downs 637 days after her departure from Plymouth Sound.

This was a very quick voyage, but as has been evident from the course taken, it was straight across the ocean.

The voyage of the little Swallow under Carteret, who had already sailed around the world with Byron, was by far the most interesting of any before those of Cook.

The following is the skeleton course of the ship.

August 26, 1768.

The Endeavour set sail from Plymouth Sound.
