message: The article says about steamers "So, in the mid-nineteenth century, it became necessary to replenish coal and boiler water."
Surely steamers used sea water for their boilers. The quantity needed if they used fresh would have been prohibitive.

replies: text: About the boiler water: S.C.Brees' Illustrated Glossary of Paractical Architecture and Civil Engineering etc (1852), page 402, in the article on steam boats, says 'The deposit occurring in the boilers of steam boats is much greater than those of other engines, owing to the salt and other impurities contained in the water employed; and this icrustation becomes considerable if not frequently attended to.' The suggestion that sea water was used in boilers seems therefore, to be supported. (RJPe (talk) 17:18, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Aden evacuation to Honington 

message: That initial description doesn't include Steamer Point, Maala, or Tarshyne. Steamer Point was very much the center of Aden when I was there (59-61). It was a major stooping off point for Liners going through Suez, and had a little park and a shopping center. The Crescent Hotel & the police station anchored it. Is it possibly renamed to Madinat ash-Sha'b? Tarshyne was a hilly resort area to its west. To its east, connecting to Crater, was a dual carriageway - the Maala Strait leading past the Shazam cinema to the khat market, where one either forked right through the turkish fortifications to Crater, or left to Khormaksar, and then on to Sheik Othman with it's lush gardens, where camel races were occasionally held. Crater's major attractions, apart from it's bustling bazaar, were Sheba's Baths - a bunch of derelict antigue reservoirs dug out of the side of the volcano, and a small castle built on an island in the bay.Wwwhatsup
Thanks to Eprados for a nice rewrite of the description. It's a lot better. Wwwhatsup 21:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have several sources, telling Aden was under Portuguese rule between 1513 and 1548. One source told, there was only a try to conquer Aden in 1513. Does anybody have any information about the Portuguese in Aden? --J. Patrick Fischer 09:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm no expert on the region, but when I read this, it looked like a mistake:
"In order to stabilise Aden and the surrounding Aden Protectorate from the designs of the Egyptian backed republicans of North Yemen, the British attempted to gradually unite the disparate states of the region"
I thought North Yemen was the royalist faction and that the Egyptian-backed republicans were fighting against them? Or does it mean republican elements within the royalist north? It's not clear.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.120.232.139 (talk) 06:56, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

message: There is a lack of information regarding the "Main Sites." Adding to this will help understand the history and culture within Aden.
The Rimbaud House: There is an interesting journal about The Rimbaud House and its history. It also talks about its controversy being French in a once British colonized area. More details on the "main sites" would be helpful, but also a whole new page could be added on The Rimbaud House alone.

message: I'm confused about the figures in the infobox.  On Yemens main page it speaks to the country being divided into governorates, which are then divided into districts, which are further subdivided into, then into subdistricts, and then into villages.  I only see one governorate-level municipality mentioned (Al-Asemah).  On the Aden Governorate page, it doesn't mention "Aden" as a subdvision, only the districts of the governorate.  So what is the area and population figure given in the infobox for?
If Aden is not a "city" in the sense of a defined local government area with borders apart from that of the governorate, that needs to be made explicitly clear.  If the information in the infobox is measuring some statistical "city" of Aden, then the figures given should be under the name or "urban area" or "settlement" or something, not "city."  This goes for every "city" in Yemen if these aren't municipal corporations/local government areas. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:43, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
