Jean - Baptiste Colbert , Marquis de Seignelay Jean - Baptiste Antoine Colbert , Marquis de Seignelay ( 1 November 1651 – 3 November 1690 ) was a French politician .

Seignelay continued his father ' s work of expanding the French Navy ; between 1660 and 1690 the Navy increased under their control from 18 sailing vessels to some 125 .

Albatros G . III The Albatros G . III was a German bomber aircraft development of World War I . It was a large , single - bay biplane of unequal span and unstaggered wings . Power was provided by two Benz Bz . IVa pusher engines installed in nacelles carried between the wings . An unusual feature of the design was that the lower wing was provided with cutouts for the propellers , allowing the engine nacelles to be mounted further forward than would have been otherwise possible .

USS Wabaquasset ( YTB - 724 ) USS " Wabaquasset " ( YTB - 724 ) was a tug that may have been operated by the United States Navy in 1945 . " Wabaquasset " was laid down as the large steel - hulled , metal arc - welded harbor tug " Port Hudson " under a Maritime Commission ( MC ) contract as MC hull 440 on 31 December 1941 , at Slidell , Louisiana , by the Canulette Shipbuilding Company , Inc . . " Port Hudson " was launched on 17 June 1942 , sponsored by Miss Jean Canulette , and delivered to the War Shipping Administration ( WSA ) on 26 April 1943 . On 24 March 1945 , the name USS " Wabaquasset " and the designation " YTB - 724 " were approved by the U . S . Navy for " Port Hudson " , but the ship was apparently not taken over for active U . S . Navy service . Records indicate that " Wabaquasset " was in fact not included on U . S . Navy crafts ' lists . One source indicates that while the WSA owned the ship , the Navy operated her , but this statement is not supported by the sketchy records . Another source indicates that the tug was returned to WSA on 7 June 1945 . In any event , it seems probable that the harbor tug saw little , if any , naval service .
Siege of Barcelona ( 1713 – 14 ) The Siege of Barcelona ( , ) was a battle at the end of the War of Spanish Succession ( 1701 – 1714 ) , which pitted Archduke Charles of Austria ( backed by Britain and the Netherlands , i . e . the Grand Alliance ) , against Philip V of Spain , backed by France in a contest for the Spanish crown . Prelude . During the early part of the war , Barcelona had fallen to the forces of Archduke Charles : his fleet had anchored in the port on 22 August 1705 , landing troops which surrounded the city . These troops later captured the fort of Montjuïc , and used it to bombard the city into its submission on October 9 of that year . Battle . Even though the freshly defeated Catalan court then supported the Archduke against Philip V , the Franco - Spanish forces were not strong enough to attempt a recapture of the city until 1713 . By 25 July of that year , the city was surrounded by Bourbon forces , but attacks upon it were unfruitful due to the scarcity of artillery . The Bourbons then waited for a 20 , 000 man reinforcement force , which arrived in April – May 1714 . The assault was renewed under the command of the Duke of Berwick , and after entering the city on 30 August , the Bourbons finally triumphed on 11 September . This defeat is now commemorated as the National Day of Catalonia , also known as La Diada Nacional de Catalunya . Notes : 1 . Britain and the Dutch Republic reached a peace agreement to end the war with France on 11 April 1713 , Treaty of Utrecht 2 . Austria reached a peace agreement to end the war with France on 7 March 1714 , Treaty of Rastatt 3 . The Holy Roman Empire reached a peace agreement to end the war with France on 7 September 1714 , Treaty of Baden Aftermath . The war ' s end in 1714 , with the surrender of the pro - Archduke forces to a Franco - Spanish army , marks a two century long period of state system that mirrored the greater centralization of the various monarchies of the European continent . With the War of the Spanish Succession completed , Spain evolved from a " de facto " unified kingdom to a centralized " de jure " one . The defenders of the city were buried in a cemetery , now a plaza , Fossar de les Moreres , where Catalans gather every 11 September , known as the National Day of Catalonia or " la Diada " .
164th Battalion ( Halton and Dufferin ) , CEF The 164th Battalion ( Halton and Dufferin ) , CEF , was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War .

Over the course of the next two months , the battalion was slowly broken up through a series of drafts for frontline units , in particular the 102nd and 116th Battalions , CEF . Sizeable drafts were also sent to the 21st Battalion , CEF , Princess Patricia ' s Canadian Light Infantry , and the Canadian Machine Gun Depot at Seaford . On April 16 , 1918 , the remaining members of the battalion — six officers and 92 other ranks — were absorbed into the 8th Reserve Battalion . The 164th Battalion , CEF , had two Commanding Officers : Lieutenant Colonel Percy Domville ( April 22 , 1917 – June 19 , 1917 ) and Lieutenant Colonel B . M . Green ( June 19 , 1917 – April 16 , 1918 ) . A listing of 164th soldiers from Dufferin County can be found in the Dufferin County Museum and Archives . It includes where they enlisted , enlisted number , next of kin , date of birth , plus , if known , if they earned a medal , if they were wounded , or killed in battle . A copy of the enlistment papers is also included in the binders holding The 164th Battalion Project . These binders are available for the public to view in the archives .

Spetum A spetum was a pole weapon of Europe during the 13th century . It consisted of a long pole some 6 – 8 feet long on which was mounted a spear head with two projections at its base . Many variations of this design flourished over time ; some feel that the ranseur is a variation of the spetum . Other names include : " chauve souris " , " corseca " , " corsèsque " , " korseke " , " runka " , and " rawcon " . The spetum is usually distinguished from the ranseur and partisan by its " prongs " being single edged and used for slashing . The main blade was 12 – 14 inches long , and the side blades were only about half that length and were set at acute angles . The design of a spetum is very efficient for combat . The main blade is long enough to destroy any significant organ in the human body with one quick thrust . The blunt backs of the side blades make the spetum extremely useful for a variety of uses such as tripping and knocking aside shields , but more importantly they provide far more strength to the sharpened side and points than is possible with any dual - edged construction . The sharpened front ends are useful for piercing or chopping in situations where precision is difficult . For example , one quick thrust of a spetum can easily remove the lower foreleg , ankle , and foot of an opponent with a side blade . Trying to do this with only a single spear point is incomparably more difficult . Similarly throat - level thrusts with a spetum can miss a direct hit by a huge distance and still completely impale the victim ' s neck .

Ducking and shaving The practice of shaving new seamen and ducking them in the sea the first time they cross the Tropic of Cancer . The custom , common on 18th century British sailing vessels , involved tying a rope around the man and dunking him in the sea three times from the main yard . Sailors could pay a fine to escape the rite of passage , but most accepted it , many enthusiastically . At other times , ducking was used as a punishment similar to keelhauling . Sources .
