Karl Rose was a naval officer in the German Imperial Navy who served under Karl August Nerger aboard the "SMS Wolf" (auxiliary cruiser) during World War I.
 During the "Wolf's" epic 451-day sortie, Rose became Nerger's second in command after the death of kapitänleutnant Iwan Brandes.
 Rose was made prize captain of two separate ships during the voyage; the Japanese mailship "Hitachi Maru", and the coal freighter "Igotz Mendi".
 On the 7th of November, 1917, the order was given to sink The "Hitachi Maru" in order to preserve what little coal there was for the "Wolf's" engines.
 However, Rose would soon be given command of another prize ship ten days later with the capture of the "Igotz Mendi".
 Rose would command the "Igotz Mendi" for the rest of the voyage back to Germany.
 Rose's fortunes would change when he accidentally ran his ship aground on the beaches of Denmark.
 While passing through a minefield laid by the German Navy, Rose spotted mistook a lighthouse for a German patrol boat.
 Eventually several Danish warships arrived and Rose attempted to pass the vessel off as a civilian German merchant ship.
 However, the Danish sailors were not fooled and refused Rose's requests to be towed, despite his best efforts to maintain control of the situation and return to the ship back to Wilhelmshaven as a prize.
 Once aground, Rose and the entire crew were detained by the Danish military police.
 This caused a great deal of political bitterness between Denmark and Germany.
 There was speculation that Kaiser Wilhelm II would declare war on Denmark for the Danish government's refusal to turn Rose and his men over to the Reich.
 Rose was held in Danish prison for the remainder of the war.
 After leaving the Navy, became a merchant officer with the Hamburg America Line and served with them until he died.
NS "Savannah" was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship.
 Built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 million, including a $28.3 million nuclear reactor and fuel core, funded by United States government agencies, "Savannah" was a demonstration project for the potential use of nuclear energy.
 Launched on July 21, 1959, and named after  , the first steamship to cross the Atlantic ocean, she was in service between 1962 and 1972 as one of only four nuclear-powered cargo ships ever built.
 (Soviet ice-breaker "Lenin" launched on December 5, 1957, was the first nuclear-powered civil ship.)
El Nuevo Constante was a Spanish merchant ship that was run aground on the coast of Louisiana, U.S., after serious leaks had been incurred during a hurricane in September 1766.
 Much of the cargo was salvaged at the time by the Spanish working into November after burning the part of the ship that was above the water line, but then the wreck was abandoned and forgotten.
 It was rediscovered in 1979, making it the first historic shipwreck found off that state's coast.
 Excavation of the wreck and its well-preserved artifacts has revealed details of the construction of this British-made vessel, and of life aboard ship and of the cargo carried.
 These details have been augmented by considerable documentary material such as the ship's manifest and cargo list.
 The excavation of the ship was concluded in 1981.
A nuclear-powered icebreaker is a nuclear-powered ship purpose-built for use in waters covered with ice.
 The only country constructing nuclear-powered icebreakers is Russia.
 Nuclear-powered icebreakers have been constructed by the USSR and later Russia primarily to aid shipping along the Northern Sea Route in the frozen Arctic waterways north of Siberia.
 Nuclear-powered icebreakers are much more powerful than their diesel-powered counterparts, and although nuclear propulsion is expensive to install and maintain, very heavy fuel demands and limitations on range can make diesel vessels less practical and economical overall for these ice-breaking duties.
SS "Michael E" was a  GRT cargo ship that was built in 1941.
 She was the first British Catapult Aircraft Merchant ship: a merchant ship fitted with a rocket catapult to launch a single Hawker Hurricane fighter to defend a convoy against long-range German bombers.
 She was sunk on her maiden voyage by a German submarine.
Auguste was a full rigged sailing ship which sank at Aspy Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1761 while carrying exiles from the fall of New France.
 "Auguste" was a former French privateer ship which had been captured by the British and converted to a merchant ship.
 In September 1761, she was hired by the British government to transport French exiles and prisoners of war from Montreal to France.
 For the voyage, she was under the command of Joseph Knowles, an English sea captain.
 The ship was unarmed and carried 121 passengers and crew.
 Almost immediately upon clearing the mouth of the St. Lawrence on October 28, she encountered a week of contrary winds followed by a nor'west gale and heavy seas which badly damaged the ship.
 Leaking heavily with an exhausted crew and damaged rigging, the captain sought a sheltered harbour in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
 However Knowles was unable to find a safe refuge as "Auguste" carried only charts of the French coast.
 The ship struck land on the northeastern side of Cape Breton Island near an inlet known as Aspy Bay.
 Only seven of the 121 made it to shore alive.
 These included the captain, the merchant Luc de la Corne, two soldiers, two servants, and one discharged soldier.
Richard Philip Godwin (March 21, 1922 – March 3, 2005) also known as Dick, was born in Clifton, New Jersey, but raised in New Britain, Connecticut.
 Served in the United States Navy during WWII, enlisted July 1, 1943, and discharged June 21, 1946.
 Received a Bachelors degree in Engineering from Yale in 1945.
 He worked at New Britain Machine Company in grade school and went on to become chief metallurgist and machine tool designer.
 He worked for the Atomic Energy Commission and was a Nuclear Engineer and Project Director for the NS Savannah, the Worlds first Nuclear-Powered Merchant vessel.
 In 1961, Richard started his career at Bechtel, where he would serve in many positions.
 He was elected vice president of Bechtel in 1971 and director in 1976.
 Godwin left Bechtel in 1986 serve as the first Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics at The Pentagon.
 In 1988, he resigned unsatisfied with what he was capable of doing.
 In the 90’s he dabbled in Broadway, producing two successful musicals “Crazy For You” (1992) and “Kiss Me, Kate” (1999).
 He opened a Vineyard in Northern California where he retired producing award winning ‘Godwin’ wine.
SS "John W. Brown" is a Liberty ship, one of two still operational and one of three preserved as museum ships.
 As a Liberty ship, she operated as a merchant ship of the United States Merchant Marine during World War II and later was a vocational high school training ship in New York City for many years.
 Now preserved, she is a museum ship and cruise ship berthed at Clinton Street Pier 1 in Baltimore Harbor in Maryland.
Mutsu was Japan's first, and only nuclear-powered ship.
 It was built as a nuclear merchant ship, one of four such vessels ever constructed, but never carried commercial cargo.
Sevmorput (Russian: Севморпуть ; ] ) is a Russian nuclear-powered icebreaking LASH carrier and container ship.
 Named after the Northern Sea Route (Russian: Северный Морской Путь, Severny Morskoy Put ), the 1988-built ship is one of only four nuclear-powered merchant ships ever built.
 After having been laid up in Murmansk for years awaiting disposal, the vessel was extensively refitted and returned to service in 2016.
