John Coates (naval architect)
John Francis Coates, OBE (30 March 1922 – 10 July 2010) was a British naval architect best known for his work on the study of construction of the Ancient Greek trireme. His research led to the construction of the first working replica of triremes, the fastest and most devastating warship of Classical Mediterranean empires, and gave a greater understanding of how they were built and used.

Dover Bronze Age Boat
The Dover Bronze Age boat is one of fewer than 20 Bronze Age boats so far found in Britain. It dates to 1575–1520 BC, which may make it one of the oldest substantially intact boats in the world (older boat finds are small fragments, some less than a metre square) – though much older ships exist, such as the Khufu ship from 2500 BC. The boat was made using oak planks sewn together with yew lashings. This technique has a long tradition of use in British prehistory; the oldest known examples are the narrower Ferriby boats from east Yorkshire. A 9.5m long section of the boat is on display at Dover Museum.

The Stage Coach
The Stage Coach is a 1704 play by George Farquhar and Peter Motteux. A farce, it is based on the 1680 French play Les Carrosses d'Orléans by Jean de La Chapelle.

Afterpiece
An afterpiece is a short, usually humorous one-act playlet or musical work following the main attraction, the full-length play, and concluding the theatrical evening. This short comedy, farce, opera or pantomime was a popular theatrical form in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was presented to lighten the five-act tragedy that was commonly performed.

A similar piece preceding the main attraction is a curtain raiser.

An example is The Padlock by Charles Dibdin, first performed in London in 1768.

Naimakka
Naimakka is Sweden's northernmost weather station and a small settlement in Kiruna Municipality, Norrbotten County with one permanent inhabitant as of 2018, who has been mentioned in several media articles.

Naimakka is right on the water boundary between Sweden and Finland and is located close to Finnish settlement of Ropinsalmi. Its closest Swedish settlement of a village size is Karesuando, some 55 kilometres (34 mi) of travel to its southeast.

The settlement has very few dwellings and is only accessible by hiking across the Könkämäeno river's ice sheet in winter or by boat in summer. The E8 highway goes adjacent to the river on the Finnish side.

Naimakka has midnight sun approximately in between 24 May and 21 July, with polar night (as in the sun being below 0.0° sun angle for 24 hours) in between 2 December and 11 January, although it has got about five hours of twilight during that period.

Midnight sun
Midnight sun, also known as polar day, is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the Sun remains visible at the local midnight. When midnight sun is seen in the Arctic, the Sun appears to move from left to right. In Antarctica, the equivalent apparent motion is from right to left. This occurs at latitudes ranging from approximately 65°44' to exactly 90° north or south, and does not stop exactly at the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle, due to refraction.

The opposite phenomenon, polar night, occurs in winter, when the Sun stays below the horizon throughout the day.
