<p>The Wheeler No. 1 Oil Well was the first well drilled in the Drumright-Cushing Oil Field of northeast Oklahoma, near Drumright. The success of the well, drilled in 1911 by Thomas Baker Slick, Sr., led to the development of the Cushing field and gave impetus to the early development of Oklahoma oilfields. The Drumright-Cushing field would go on to produce 310,000 barrels of oil a day at its peak in May 1917. The well made Slick&#39;s name as "King of the Wildcatters".</p><br>
<p>The well was financed by Charles B. Shaffer of Chicago, who hired Slick to drill wells at the Frank Wheeler farm using cable tool drilling techniques, which could not prevent gushers or blowouts. Three unsuccessful wells preceded the strike, which initially produced 400 barrels of high-grade oil a day from a depth of between 2,319 ft and 2,347 ft. Because no mechanism existed to control the flow, the oil was diverted into pits for collection and storage. The source of the oil was a sand zone in the Drumright Dome, a syncline. but eventually revealed the well&#39;s success in April 1912. A dugout built for the guards remains on the site, together with a commemorative plaque.</p><br>
<p>In time, the well&#39;s pressure subsided, requiring that the oil be pumped out of the well. The first pump was a two-cylinder gasoline-powered pump, later replaced by an electric drive. With the reduction in pressure the well was modified for secondary recovery, using an early form of hydraulic fracturing called "sand fracturing." As of 1980 it produced about a barrel a day, pumping four hours a day. Oil came from three layers: the Layton layer at 170 ft, the Wheeler layer at 2,300 ft, and the Bartlesville layer at 2,700 ft. A 2 in pipeline connects the well to an oil-water separating unit about 2,500 ft away, then to storage tanks. The well is located in a small clearing about 1,000 ft west of Drumright. The well was still producing in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Wheeler No. 1 well was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Barnett No. 11 Oil Well was the most productive oil well in the Cushing Oil Field of northeastern Oklahoma, to the south of Drumright. The well was drilled in 1916 in the Shamrock Dome section of the Cushing field by the Gypsy Oil Company, striking oil on February 17. The well was on the land of Jackson Barnett, a Creek landowner who subsequently became known as the "world&#39;s richest Indian."</p><br>
<p>Barnett owned 160 acre in trust Creek County, which began producing oil in 1912. Jacksons 12.5 percent royalty on the oil from his land earned him between $3 million and $4 million during his lifetime, but only received a few hundred dollars per year at first. Until 1920 his fortune was managed as a trust by Creek County courts and the Department of the Interior, on the pretext that Jackson was illiterate and legally incompetent due to a head injury. Barnetts money became the subject of extensive litigation and eventual Congressional hearings. In 1920 he was pursued by Anna Laura Lowe, whom he married after one meeting. When a court gave part of the trust&#39;s money to Anna to administer, the couple moved to Los Angeles and bought a mansion.</p><br>
<p>The well was drilled into the Tucker sand layer at a depth between 2,800 ft and 3,000 ftProduction on the well&#39;s first day was 4,000 barrels, rising to 10,000 barrels a day and peaking at 18,000 barrels per day. Average production was 10,000 barrels a day for most of its life. It was the first well in the Cushing field to produce 1 million barrels of oil and established the Oklahoma record for production from a single well. The well was capped in the mid-1960s. The site includes concrete foundations, the capped well casing, and a sign. In 1980 eight neighboring wells continued to produce oil.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Barnett well was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Furö is an island located in the Baltic Sea five nautical miles  off the east coast of Oskarshamn in Sweden.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Historically the island has been used as base for fishing (mainly cod, herring and flounder). Today there are no permanent fishermen on the island. The whole island is a nature reserve and forms part of the EU-wide Natura 2000-network.</p><br>
<h2>Pilot and lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>In 1874, the Swedish authorities located a lighthouse and a pilot station to Furö. The lighthouse was built at the north-western end of the island. The building was also used as accommodation for the pilots. In 1921 a new, more modern, lighthouse was raised at the reef Finnrevet just south-east off Furö. Today there are no pilots left on Furö, but their latest red wooden building from 1933 still exists, and is now used as a summer cottage. The island is today mainly used for recreation.</p><br>
<h2>Shipwrecks</h2><br>
<p>The waters around Furö are quite shallow. Many ships have run aground near the island. On the night of November 28, 1949 the British steamer Britkon ran aground at Furö during a heavy gale. The fully loaded ship was stranded on the reef Finnrevet just off the island. Eleven men and women reached the shore by lifeboat. The remaining 27 of the crew was rescued by the pilots on Furö. The Britkon was hard stranded and broke in half two days later. Today nothing is visible above the surface since the wreck has been partly broken up and salvaged.</p><br>
<p>The Mann Ranges are a mountain range in central Australia. It is located in the far northwest of South Australia, with a small section running over the border into the Northern Territory. It is part of the geological region known as the Musgrave Block, which also includes the Petermann and Musgrave Ranges. Mountains in this region were formed in the Petermann Orogeny .</p><br>
<p>This area is part of the traditional country of the Pitjantjatjara nation. They associate it with the Dreaming of Wati Ngiṉṯaka, a major creation spirit. He is said to have created the landforms while travelling through the area in the Dreamtime, and his route forms a network of songlines that are spiritually important to native people. The largest communities in the area are Kaṉpi and Nyapaṟi.</p><br>
<p>The first European person to visit the area was William Gosse in 1873. With the help of local Aboriginal people, Gosse and his team explored the Mann Ranges after seeing the range from the top of Uluṟu. From the Mann Ranges, he went west to the Tomkinson Ranges, but turned back rather than trying to cross the Great Victoria Desert. He came back to the Mann Ranges and then went eastward to the Musgrave Ranges.</p><br>
<p>Brandywine Manufacturers Sunday School, also known as Sunday School and Hagley Office, is a historic Sunday school building located near Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1817, and is a one-story, rectangular stone building. It measures 31 feet by 65 feet and features an Ionic order columned portico and school bell tower. Also on the property is a contributing spring house. It was built for workers, old and young, to learn the basics of reading, writing, and "ciphering," and remained in use as a school until 1851. From 1902 to 1921, it was the Hagley Yard office of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company. It was then converted to a private dwelling.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Goodman Library is a historic library located at 1219 1st St. in Napa, California. Built in 1901, the library was paid for by George E. Goodman and built on land donated by Goodman. Architect Luther M. Turton designed the building in the Richardson Romanesque style, which can be seen in its use of rusticated stone, round arch windows, and massive scale. The design represented a shift in Napa architecture, which was mainly Victorian prior to the library&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Goodman Library is the longest-operating library in California, partially due to a clause in Goodmans donation of the building. Goodman stipulated that the building would remain in the citys possession as long as it served as a library but would otherwise revert to his heirs.</p><br>
<p>When Napa moved its city library to a different building in the 1970s, the Napa County Historical Society acquired the building for its research library so it would still satisfy its original purpose. The library now houses both the historical society and Napa County Landmarks.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The building was damaged by the 2014 South Napa earthquake. A $1.75M contract to repair damage to the building including bracing and a new roof was awarded in January 2017. The work began in April 2017 and is expected is expected to be completed in early 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Sam Kee Laundry Building, also known as the Pfeiffer Building, is a historic building located at 1245 Main St. in Napa, California. Built in 1875, the building is the oldest stone building and commercial building in Napa. The building has a generally simple design topped by a decorative Italianate cornice. As of 1880, the building was part of a brewery, which may have been the first brewery in Napa; it has since housed a boarding house, a saloon, and a laundry. The building currently houses the Vintner&#39;s Collective, a wine tasting bar.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The building was damaged by the 2014 South Napa earthquake. It was reopened in January 2015, and as of August 2015 continued to undergo restoration of its exterior.</p><br>

<p>There is a small lake named Mossø in the forest of Rold Skov in Himmerland.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<p>Both ospreys and white-tailed eagle is regularly observed at Mossø and the later have recently established here as a breeding bird, which is rare in Denmark.</p><br>
<p>Mossø is part of the 4,470 ha Natura 2000 protection area, designated as number 52. The lake is also designated as an international bird protection area, with number F35.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Branch Library is a former Carnegie library in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The branch began operation in 1892, opening in the historic building in 1917. The building served as a library until 1990, and has been owned by the Duluth Art Institute since 1992. The structure was built of brick and limestone in the Late Gothic Revival style. The Lincoln Branch Library was the third and last Carnegie library built in Duluth.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1891, a committee of neighborhood citizens met with the Duluth Library Board to establish a library in Duluth&#39;s West End (known as Lincoln Park since 1996). The West End Branch Library, as it was initially called, opened in 1892 in a room of the Irwin-Sloan Block. It operated until 1893, when economic depression and funding cuts forced its closure. It reopened in 1895, but again faced closure in 1896. A Duluth resident made a gift to the library which helped for a time, but the library again closed around the end of 1900. The library opened again in January 1908 and, over the next several years, occupied a number of locations but it remained in operation.</p><br>
<p>An appropriation of $4,300 was made in April 1915 to purchase two lots in the West End, which were acquired in May. A request for $30,000 for a permanent library was made of and subsequently granted by Andrew Carnegie. Abraham Holstead and William J. Sullivan were chosen as the architects and Jos. Hanson served as contractor. Designs and blueprints for the library were completed by April 1916. The library was named for its proximity to Lincoln Park, located in the West End. Construction lasted through 1917. The library held its grand opening on August 30, 1917, with 500 people in attendance for a gala ceremony. The library publicly opened on September 1. The Lincoln Branch Library was the third and last Carnegie library built in Duluth, following the Duluth Public Library and the West Duluth Branch Library.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, a garage was built on the library&#39;s northeast face to house two bookmobiles. The building operated as a library until October 1990, when a new library assumed service for western Duluth. The building was bought by the Duluth Art Institute in November 1992. According to the institute, it was purchased to acquire more space and to "reach under-served communities." In 1997, the garage addition was renovated, including the replacement of the garage doors with windows.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 14, 2013. The property was nominated under Criterion A for its relation to the construction of Carnegie libraries across the United States. The building has undergone a number of renovations over its life, but most were performed to comply with building codes and did not significantly impact the library&#39;s historic integrity.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Lincoln Branch Library is a rectangular, single-story building in Late Gothic Revival style. The original structure measures 69 by, with a 32 by addition. The exterior facade is brown and dark red brickwork, arranged in Flemish bond, contrasted with limestone trim.</p><br>
<p>The southeast face of the building is symmetrical and features the library&#39;s main entrance. Leading to the entrance is a concrete stairway with a brick and limestone railing on each side. The entrance consists of a pair of wooden, glass-paned doors framed by limestone. The eave line is interrupted by a pediment carved with an acanthus leaf design. In the middle of the pediment a shield motif bears the initials "DPL", standing for Duluth Public Library. Immediately above the doorway is carved "Lincoln Branch Library". The entrance is flanked by original, square lanterns. The ground level features two series of five 10/15 double-hung windows. The first level has two bands of seven windows flanking the entrance just below the eave. The ground and first floor are separated by a beveled limestone belt course, above which are symmetrically arranged carved stone shields. The stairway was rebuilt in 1996 using the original limestone.</p><br>
<p>The southwest face features a large gable end with a three-tiered, Gothic window framed in limestone. The window is flanked by two stone shields, and above it is a limestone band near the gables peak in the shape of an "ɪ". The ground level 10/15 windows continue, along with the belt course separating the first and ground levels. There is a ground-level entrance to the west under a flat roof portion, consisting of a pair of wooden doors with arched glass panels. The entrance is topped by a pediment inscribed with "Club Room". A set of steps leads to the entrance, flanked by brick and limestone railings. The entrance sits on a two-story, pentagonal bay with windows wrapping around it on the first level. At the window head is another limestone course which wraps around the buildings west side.</p><br>
<p>Along the northwest face is where the garage addition was built, obstructing the original facade. According to original blueprints, the addition forced the removal of windows and possibly an entrance. At ground level, four window openings appear to have been bricked over. There are two rows of three windows on the first level on the exposed area of the northwest gable end. Near the peak of the gable are three narrow, vertical windows.</p><br>
<p>The northeast face is similar to the southwest; the gable has the same window, stone shields, and "I"-shaped band. The belt course continues around the facade, and six 10/15 windows are arrayed at ground level. At the building&#39;s north corner is a rectangular brick chimney, capped by stone with a quoin at each corner. The corner also features five windows with a limestone course at the window head.</p><br>
<p>The property is minimally landscaped. A large conifer stands at the southern corner of the building, and there is a deciduous tree east of the main entrance. There is garden space next to the building along the southeast and southwest facades. The building is surrounded by a cultivated lawn.</p><br>
<p>The Riverdale–Spuyten Duyvil–Kingsbridge Memorial Bell Tower or Riverdale Monument is a memorial tower in Bell Tower Park located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. It was completed on September 17, 1930 to commemorate World War I veterans from the neighborhoods of Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil, and Kingsbridge. In 1936, it was moved 700 feet south to make room for the Henry Hudson Parkway which it now stands next to. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 50 ft tall and 17.5 ft wide monument is located on West 239th street between Riverdale Avenue and the Henry Hudson Parkway. It was designed by Dwight James Baum for the Riverdale American Legion Post. It is made of fieldstone and Indiana limestone and is estimated to weigh 500 tons. In the tower is a 1762 Spanish bell which had been made for a Mexican monastery. General Winfield Scott captured this bell during the Mexican War and brought it back to New York City where it resided in the Jefferson Market and a Riverdale firehouse before it was installed in the newly constructed tower.</p><br>
<p>The Admiral David Glasgow Farragut Gravesite is the final resting place of David Glasgow Farragut , the first rear admiral, vice admiral, and four-star admiral of the United States Navy. He was most well known for his order to "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." The granite and marble monument resembling a mast marks not only his burial site, but that of his wife and children. It was listed as a National Historic Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 2012. It is located in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, itself a National Historic Landmark. It is the only surviving place of high quality with a direct association to Farragut&#39;s life.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Farragut grave site is located in Woodlawn Cemeterys northeastern Aurora Hill section. It is set in a circular plot that is part of a larger lozenge-shaped section bounded on the east by East Boundary Drive, and the west by Daisy and Ravine Drives. The plot is ringed by a paved walkway, and the main monument is set on a local high point. From the ground level up, the monument consists of a granite foundation block, a marble pedestal, and a marble column. The column is intricately carved with depictions of events in Farraguts life, and is designed to resemble a part of a wooden ship mast. The top of the column consists of a carved representation of a draped American flag. At the base of the column are carved representations of naval-themed objects, as well as representations of Farraguts Civil War flagship the USS Hartford, and Forts Jackson and Philips, whose guns he famously ran past during the Capture of New Orleans. The pedestal is basically square, with carved words describing Farraguts deeds. The memorial was carved by the firm of Casoni & Isola, based on New York but owning marble quarries in Italy.</p><br>
<p>Wilmington Club, also known as the John Merrick House, is a historic clubhouse located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was designed by noted architect Edmund George Lind and built in 1864, as a three-story, five bay "T"-plan brownstone dwelling in the Italianate style. Although oral history suggests that Edmund Lind was the architect of record, numerous newspaper reports from 1863 suggest that the architect was actually Thomas A. Dixon. The March 13, 1863 issue of The Daily Gazette, as well as the March 10, 1863 issue of the The Delaware State Journal and the March 12, 1863 issue of The Delaware Republican ran the following news article: "IMPROVEMENT. H.F. Dure has contracted with John Merrick, Esq., to erect a beautiful mansion for him, on his lot located on Market street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, for about $21,000. This house when finished, will be one of the most convenient and substantial residences in this city. It will have all of the modern improvements, and will be built in the best style. Mr. Thomas Dixon, formerly of this city, now of Baltimore, is the Architect. Perkins & Weldie, have contracted with Mr. Dure to do the Brick work: Murdick & Duff the Painting, and Robert Haddock the Plastering. The lot has been staked out and the digging of the cellars will be commenced immediately. The mansion is to be completed by the 25th of December next."</p><br>
<p>The Wilmington Club purchased the building in 1900, and expanded it between 1936 and 1950 and in 1966. The Club incorporated in 1877.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Oklahoma City Discovery Well was the first successful oil well to be drilled in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The December 4, 1928 discovery opened the Oklahoma City Oil Field to extensive exploitation, creating an oil boom that sustained the area through the Great Depression. Because much of the oil was under the existing city, the Oklahoma City field pioneered the use of directional drilling to allow lateral displacement of well bores to reach deposits under developed areas.</p><br>
<p>The well is located at the present-day intersection of SE 59th Street and Bryant Boulevard. It was drilled by the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Company (ITIO). Beginning on June 12, 1928, the drilling crew drilled more than 6,000 ft. In early December they broke through the Arbuckle Limestone layer, noting that the bottom of the formation was saturated with oil and was under gas pressure. Since they were drilling with a cable tool rig, the flow of gas and oil could not be controlled, and on December 4 the gas blew the tools out of the well. The well produced 110,000 barrels of oil during its first 27 days. However, the well began to produce water by the end of 1928 and was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The discovery well was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1977. The present site preserves the concrete drilling derrick foundations and the capped well head.</p><br>
<p>Akhnoor Fort  is on the right bank of Chenab River . Construction was started by Mian Tej Singh in 1762 AD and completed by his successor Raja Alum Singh in 1802.</p><br>
<p>The fort has high fortification walls with bastions at regular intervals and is crowned with battlements. There are two-storeyed watch-towers at the corners, which are crowned by battlements and merlons. The fort has two parts which are bifurcated by a wall with a gate leading to the palace on the southern side. The palace is two-storeyed, and the walls facing the courtyard have decorated arches, some of which contain mural paintings.</p><br>
<p>Access to Akhnoor Fort is obtained through both the river sides and the northern side. Formerly, a large part of the fort was in ruins; conservation work is in progress.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Akhnoor Fort was perched upon an ancient site, locally known as Manda, which has been subjected to a limited excavation, which in turn has exposed a threefold sequence of culture.</p><br>
<p>Period I is represented by Harappan red and grey pottery consisting of jars, dish-on-stand beakers and goblets, along with other objects, including copper pins, bone arrowheads, terracotta cakes and sherds with Harappan graffiti.</p><br>
<p>Period II is marked by the presence of early historic pottery.</p><br>
<p>Period III is represented by Kushana objects and impressive walls of rubble diaper masonry flanked on both sides by a 3-metre-wide street.</p><br>
<p>Nellie Johnstone No. 1 was the first commercially productive oil well in Oklahoma . Completed on April 15, 1897, the well was drilled in the Bartlesville Sand near Bartlesville, opening an era of oil exploration and development in Oklahoma. It was abandoned as a well in 1964. The site was donated to the city of Bartlesville and is now a park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, featuring a restored drilling rig.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The well was backed by George B. Keeler and William Johnstone, Keeler had been adopted into the Osage Nation and Johnstone had been adopted into the Delaware Nation after marrying Native American women. Keeler and Johnstone left Bartles to open their own store near the Osage Indian Agency on the Caney River, and was named for Johnstone&#39;s daughter. Keeler and Johnstone, together with partner Frank Overlees and their Native American wives, leased 200,000 acres from the Cherokee Nation on an area of oil seep and enagaged the Cudahy Oil Company to finance the actual drilling operation.</p><br>
<h2>Organizing and drilling</h2><br>
<p>The firm of McBride and Bloom, headquartered in Independence, Kansas, had already been drilling in the Red Fork field. The original drilling rig had been used at a dry hole near Sapulpa. It took two weeks to move it by oxcart 70 miles overland to the Bartlesville site.</p><br>
<p>The well went to 1,320 ft, and was completed using a then-usual technique of placing a "torpedo" (containing a liquid nitroglycerine charge) into the well to fracture the bore and release the oil. Keeler&#39;s stepdaughter, Jennie Cass, dropped the "go devil" charge, causing the explosive to detonate on impact, in front of fifty spectators. The ensuing gusher produced between 50 and 75 barrels a day, and had to be capped for two years until means could be found to move the oil to a more distant market.</p><br>
<p>According to Kenny Franks&#39; article in the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History & Culture, the Nellie Johnstone well had not been properly sealed before it was capped. Oil continued seeping into the sump while the well was blocked, eventually overflowing into the nearby Caney River. During the unusually cold winter that followed, a group of children ice skating on the frozen river, built a bonfire to keep themselves warm. Somehow the fire spread close to the oil seep, igniting it. The fire then spread to the Nellie Johnstone, causing major damage to the facility.</p><br>
<p>The well was uncapped in 1900, after the Kansas, Oklahoma Central and Southwestern Railway, later acquired by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, came to Bartlesville, stimulating the development of the Bartlesville field by offering to transport crude to market in Neodesha, Kansas. Nellie Johnstone Cannon, who was six years old at the time the well was drilled and named for her, was granted the land on which the well was drilled by allotment through her Native American ancestry. She sold the land to Bartlesville in 1917. The area is now Johnstone Park.</p><br>
<h2>Creation of Johnstone Park</h2><br>
<p>A replica drilling rig was built over the well in 1948, while the rig was still producing. After the Johnstone No. 1 well was abandoned in 1963, and interest in maintaining the site as a historical monument had begun to grow, the rig scene was reconstructed, using redwood timbers for the derrick. The derrick was rebuilt in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The well site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Lanyu storage site  is a facility to store all of the nuclear waste produced by three nuclear power plants in the Republic of China in Lanyu Island, Taitung County. It is owned and operated by Taipower.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 1970s, the Atomic Energy Council formed a task group to search for sites as a temporary storage facility for mid and low-level nuclear waste. The decision to choose Long Men area of Lanyu Island as the storage site was made in 1974. The construction of the facility commenced by building a harbor in 1978 and later the storage in 1980. First shipment carrying nuclear waste arrived in May 1982. Aborigines living on the island have been protesting on the facility.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The facility was built at the South Eastern tip of Lanyu Island, It faces the Pacific Ocean in one direction, and the other three directions face hills behind it, thus separating the facility from the residence by natural barriers.</p><br>
<h2>Functions</h2><br>
<p>The facility receives low-level radioactive solid waste from nuclear power plants, medical, agriculture, industrial, education and research sectors about 45,000 barrels annually, which is being shipped by boat from Taiwan Island every week.</p><br>
<h2>Safety</h2><br>
<p>Taipower claims that several safety measures are taken to ensure the safety of the facility. Wastes are tested and examined before being stored at the facility, transportation and storage are done under strict control, thorough investigation and examination are done to the environment surrounding the facility, and changes in the radioactivity level are strictly monitored.</p><br>
<p>Jebel Azao or Adrar Afao is the highest peak in the Tassili n&#39;Ajjer range in southeastern Algeria, at 2,158 m. The range forms the northwest border of the Chad Basin.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Jebel Azao is a peak in the Adrar massif of the Tassili N&#39;Ajjer, a sandstone plateau to the northeast of the Hoggar Mountains</p><br>
<p>The mountain forms a ridge on the plateau, roughly parallel to the escarpment.</p><br>
<p>The massif is mainly made of sandstone, which has resulted in the formation of many natural rock arches.</p><br>
<p>Mt. Afao is drained by various wadis, which converge on the Wadi Imirhou. This wadi runs northeast, then turns to the northwest and disappears in the Issaouane Erg sands to the west of Illizi.</p><br>
<p>The Bryan Bridge brings USA Route 20 over the Niobrara River in Cherry County, Nebraska, near Valentine. It was built in 1932 and is a pin-connected arch bridge that is designated "Most Beautiful Steel Bridge" in its year, out of bridges costing less than $250,000, by the American Institute of Steel Construction. It is named after then-sitting Nebraska governor Charles W. Bryan.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, it is significant "in the area of structural engineering on a state level as an excellent and well-preserved example of a pin-connected cantilever arch bridge. It is the only one of its kind in Nebraska." The NRHP nominator interviewed its designer, Josef Sorkin of the states Division of Bridge Design, on why he chose this type of design, and reported that he replied ""aesthetics, it blended into the surroundings and it was also an economical design for the site." Cantilever arch structures, which have been infrequently used nationwide, were constructed in the mid 1920s to mid 1930s. The cantilever type of truss bridge permitted longer spans and was typically used for spanning major rivers."</p><br>
<p>National Register designation was given in 1988. It is also designated as NeHBS #CE00-28.</p><br>
<p>USA Route 20 now crosses the Niobrara River about 2,000 ft to the north.</p><br>
<p>The Mountain Quarries Bridge is a railroad bridge across the North Fork American River, near Auburn, in Placer County, California. It is a concrete arch bridge that was built in 1912 to transport quarried rock.</p><br>
<h2>Names</h2><br>
<p>The Mountain Quarries Bridge has also been known as the Mountain Quarry Cement Bridge, the American River Quarry Bridge, the Pacific Portland Cement Company Railroad Bridge, the Auburn Concrete Arch Bridge, and the No Hands Bridge.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The park is a unit of Delaware&#39;s Wilmington State Parks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rockford is one of the oldest parks in the city of Wilmington. It was originally conceived by philanthropist and conservationist William Poole Bancroft, who played an instrumental role in the creation of other city, state, and federal parks in Delaware (such as First State National Historical Park). Bancroft was one of the primary sponsors behind the Delaware legislatures creation of the Board of Park Commissioners in 1883, and he served on the Board from its inception until 1922. He owned the land that houses Rockford Park today, and offered to donate it for park land at the very first meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners. At the recommendation of Frederick Law Olmsted, the Board instead focused first on establishing the nearby Brandywine Park. Once that was done, Olmsted visited Bancrofts Rockford land in 1889 and issued a positive report to the Board recommending accepting the land and establishing the park. Later in 1889, Bancroft donated 59 acres of his property to form Rockford Park, and he convinced the du Pont family to donate an additional 9 acres of land.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, a 75 foot stone building named Rockford Tower was constructed to serve two purposes, as both a water tower and an observation tower. It contains a steel cylinder water tank, surrounded by a staircase which leads to the highest level of the tower. On the highest level, large stone arches allow for a view of the park and the Brandywine River below.</p><br>
<h2>Memorials</h2><br>
<p>There are three notable memorials in Rockford Park.</p><br>
<p>The first is Canby Seat, a granite bench and memorial to botanist William M. Canby. Canby was the first President of the Board of Park Commissioners and he was responsible for allocating the funds which developed the park after Bancroft donated the land. The stone bench was constructed in 1905 and provides a scenic view of the Brandywine in a spot which was one of Canby&#39;s favorites.</p><br>
<p>The second memorial is a statue of Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont near the parks main entrance. The statue was commissioned by Congress in 1882 and sculpted by Launt Thompson in 1884. It originally stood in Washington, D.C.s Dupont Circle, which was named after the Civil War hero, but as several family members considered it an insufficient memorial for the national capital, they received permission to replace it with a new memorial which they would fund themselves. The statue was moved to Rockford Park in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The last memorial is to William Poole Bancroft. The Bancroft Memorial is a stone terrace with a semicircular stone outcropping. On the outcropping is a large stone with a cast bronze plaque commemorating Bancroft&#39;s accomplishments. The memorial was constructed in 1937 and is centrally located within the park.</p><br>
<p>The Ernest Baxter Fite House is a historic residence in Hamilton, Alabama. Designed by Weatherly Carter, who had designed what later became the Alabama Governors Mansion, the house was built in 1927–1928 for Ernest Baxter Fite, then a member of the Alabama House of Representatives and a former state senator. Ernests son, Rankin Fite, served two terms as Speaker of the state House.</p><br>
<p>The house was built of brick in a Colonial Revival style. Four doric columns frame the front portico. The main entrance is in the right third of the portico. The house contains 17 rooms split between 2 floors, including 6 bedrooms. It was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1992 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Manitou Mineral Springs are natural mineral springs in Manitou Springs, Colorado and Cheyenne Spring House is on the National Register of Historic Places. The springs are located in one of the country&#39;s largest National Historic Districts.</p><br>
<h2>Manitou Springs</h2><br>
<p>Manitou Springs, also called "Saratoga of the West", was established as a resort community, known for its mineral springs and "spectacular setting" at the edge of the Rocky Mountains and the base of Pikes Peak.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The spring water of Manitou Springs originates from two sources. "Deep-seated waters" of Rampart Range and Ute Pass provide one source of mineral water. Water below the surface is run through cavernous drainage systems called karst aquifers. Limestone in the water dissolves and resulting carbonic acid, or carbon dioxide, make the water "effervescent". The water rises to the surface naturally. This process is an artesian process where as water rises through layers of rock it picks up minerals and soda, or sodium bicarbonate. Some of the spring water also comes from "surface" waters from the watershed basins of Fountain Creek and Williams Canyon. Each spring has a different mineral content and because of that, a different taste.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town has several mineral springs, called manitou for the "breath of the Great Spirit Manitou" believed to have created the bubbles, or "effervescence", in the spring water. The springs were considered sacred grounds where Native Americans drank and soaked in the mineral water to replenish and heal themselves. Ute, Arapaho, Cheyenne and other plains tribes came to the area, spent winters there, and "share in the gifts of the waters without worry of conflict." There were 9 or 10 natural springs. As whites moved in there were "skirmishes" for access to the historical resort area until the Native Americans were removed from the area and placed on reservations.</p><br>
<p>Explorer Stephen Harriman Long made note of the water&#39;s healing properties in 1820. Recognizing the extent to which Native Americans considered the site to be sacred, Ruxton wrote: "…the basin of the spring (at Manitou) was filled with beads and wampum, and pieces of red cloth and knives, while the surrounding trees were hung with strips of deer skin, cloth and moccosons (sic)."</p><br>
<p>Forty-eight years later, a plan for a health resort was developed by Dr. William Abraham Bell and William Jackson Palmer, a general during the Civil War: "They had a vision of dreamy summer villas nestled in the mountains, with grand hotels and landscaped parks clustered around the springs." Railroad transportation brought people into the area, first called Fountain Colony and La Font. The town wasn&#39;t built at envisioned by the two men, storefronts and homes were built in the town. It became the first resort town in the state.</p><br>
<p>In 1873 Henry McAllister, a developer working for Palmer, touted the medicinal benefits of the springs and that Manitou Springs had the necessary components of a successful spa resort, including "incomparable climate and scenery".</p><br>
<p>Medical practitioners, such as Dr. Edwin Solly, promoted the health benefits of the "pure air" and sunny Rocky Mountain climate as the "worlds best suited therapeutic environment" for the treatment of tuberculosis. He also believed in the benefits of mineral spring water which drew tourists and the infirm, particularly people with tuberculosis, to the area. Some springs were enclosed as the town grew. One of the enclosures, in red sandstone and under a "conical roofed structure", is the Cheyenne Spring House. There were more than 50 drilled wells and springs after the turn of the century. Since then, more were enclosed. After a period when the towns popularity diminished, some springs were closed, capped or paved over. Then the Mineral Springs Foundation was formed in 1987 to restore some of the springs and promote the benefits of the towns spring water. Walking tours of the towns springs are called "Springabouts".</p><br>
<p>Manitou Springs water was sold "worldwide".</p><br>
<h2>Springs</h2><br>
<h3>7 Minute Spring</h3><br>
<p>The 7 Minute Spring was drilled near the former Manitou House Hotel in 1909. Every 7 minutes a geyser erupted. In 1993 a park was developed surrounding a newly drilled spring. Don Green, Maxine Green, and Bill Burgess collaborated on two fonts at the spring.</p><br>
<h3>Cheyenne Spring House</h3><br>
<p>Cheyenne Spring House, near the Navajo Spring and the Spa, was built in the 1890s of red sandstone. It is a soda spring. Like the Navajo Spring, it has a high overall mineral content, but not an high content of any specific minerals. The building was constructed by the Manitou Mineral Water company. Its sweet water comes from limestone aquifers thought to be more than 20,000 years old and located about one mile below the surface. The spring&#39;s water is available to the public in the bronze sculpture by Paul Rogers that stands a few feet from the spring house.</p><br>
<h3>Iron Spring Geyser</h3><br>
<p>The Iron Spring Geyser was drilled on Ruxton Avenue in 1910 by Joseph Hiestand to increase the availability of iron-rich mineral water, also known as a chalybeate water, in the town. The spring water also contains a high content of fluoride, silica, sodium and potassium. In the 1880s "health seekers" stopped at the spring during their daily walk.</p><br>
<h3>Navajo Geyser</h3><br>
<p>Previously, the spring would erupt every 45 minutes and shoot up to 7 feet into the air. It was located in the Navajo Geyser Pavilion. The spring which is privately owned was restored in 2006, but ceased to flow in later years. There is now no sign of the Spring in the Manitou Outpost store building where the guide&#39;s photo displayed it. The spring was plugged and a sidewalk was paved over it. The spring was later renovated into the hand pump that exists today.</p><br>
<h3>Navajo Spring</h3><br>
<p>Native Americans and early settlers came to the Navajo Spring along the Ute Trail to take the water believed to have healing powers. Its water supplied the local bathhouse and was the source of the bottled spring water sold as "Ginger Champagne" and "Manitou Table Water". In general, the water has a high mineral content, but does not have an exceeding level of any particular minerals. The spring font, designed by Chris Dysart, is located behind the Patsy&#39;s popcorn kiosk on Manitou Avenue.</p><br>
<h3>Shoshone Spring</h3><br>
<p>Shoshone Springs spring house, built in the 1890s, is located on Manitou Avenue. It has the "greatest amount of deep-seated water from the karst aquifer system and the highest mineral content of the towns springs, and particularly high content of chloride, calcium, alkalinity, lithium, manganese and zinc. Because of its high mineral content, it was considered the most "medicinal" of Manitou&#39;s springs, partly because of its sulphur content. The spring house was constructed of red sandstone from the nearby Kenmuir Quarry, which is now the Red Rock Canyon Open Space.</p><br>
<h3>Soda Spring</h3><br>
<p>Soda Spring is one of the natural springs in Manitou Springs and once in an open air pavilion, the spring is located now in the Spa building basement. There is no public access to the water of the spring.</p><br>
<h3>Stratton Spring</h3><br>
<p>Stratton Spring, named for Winfield Scott Stratton, was drilled in 1936 by the Stratton Foundation. It is located at "the loop", a circular intersection at the end of Manitou Avenue, which was the end of the avenue&#39;s railroad car line in the early 20th century. A sculpture, created by Fred Darpino, is located at the site.</p><br>
<h3>Twin Spring</h3><br>
<p>Located on Ruxton Avenue, Twin Spring combines waters from two different depths and flow from one font. The water, high in magnesium, is considered a "sweet" water, used by locals to make lemonade. Aside from the pleasing taste, it is also sought for its potassium and calcium content. The spring was drilled by William S. Crosby in the 1920s.</p><br>
<h3>Ute Chief Spring</h3><br>
<p>The spring, located at the far western end of Manitou Avenue, is a privately owned spring. A sculpture, created by Steve Titus, of a Native American man symbolizes the historic use of advertising sculptures established around town to promote bottled Ute Chief Mineral Water. The metal sculpture is a replica of the original plaster sculpture of the same design that was on the site in the first half of the twentieth century. The Ute Chief Spring no longer flows.</p><br>
<h3>Wheeler Spring</h3><br>
<p>The spring was drilled in 1920 by the son-in-law of Jerome B. Wheeler, an investor in Aspen and Manitou Springs, Colorado, creating the Manitou Mineral Water bottling plant and building the Wheeler Clock on Manitou Avenue. (He also built the Hotel Jerome in Aspen.) The spring is located near the location of his home, Windemere, which is where the United States Post Office is now located.</p><br>
<p>The Park Avenue Bridge in Clifton, Arizona brings Park Avenue over the San Francisco River and was long the one link between east and west sides of the town. It is a historic through truss bridge, built during 1917-18, and is listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places. It has also been known as Clifton Bridge and as Riley Bridge.</p><br>
<p>It is significant historically as the only pinned Parker vehicular truss in the state of Arizona. At the time of its NRHP listing, in 1988, it was in original condition including having a creosoted timber deck.</p><br>
<p>It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1988. It was also included as a contributing structure within the Clifton Townsite Historic District, a historic district listed on the NRHP in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Mann House is a historic home in Concord, Michigan. It is a Michigan State Historic Site and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been operated as a museum since 1970.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built from 1883 through 1884 by Daniel Sears Mann and his wife Ellen so that their daughters, Jessie Ellen and Mary Ida, could attend school in Concord. Jessie Ellen lived in the house until she died in 1969, when it was bequeathed to the people of Michigan. The Michigan Historical Center has operated it as a museum since 1970. The house was named a Michigan State Historic Site on June 18, 1970, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1970. The house is representative of 1880s middle-class household architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The mostly rectangular frame house was designed in the Late Victorian style. The walls are covered in clapboard siding. Above the entrance, at one corner, stands a pyramidal tower. The roof is a cross-gable with a small amount of Eastlake Style trim on the vergeboards, front door, porch and gablets. A carriage house is located behind the house. The interior houses most of the original furnishings and household implements. The ceilings are plaster and there is a marbleized slate fireplace inside.</p><br>
<p>The Miller Hotel, located at 197 W. Third St. in Long Pine, Nebraska, was built in 1895 as a single family house and was expanded into a hotel in 1914. As of 1989, when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was the only hotel building surviving in Long Pine, out of 10 known to have existed. It became the only historic site in Brown County, Nebraska to be listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "on a regional level...for its association with the commercial development of Long Pine and with the building boom of second generation hotels that occurred on a statewide basis during the first quarter of the twentieth century" and on a statewide level "as an extraordinarily well preserved relict example of the Longitudinal Block hotel". The Miller Hotel was not, however, typical of the "modern" hotels of its era, in that it was not built from brick, was created by the expansion and conversion of a single-family dwelling, and lacked modern features such as private telephones and hot and cold water in its individual rooms.</p><br>
<p>It includes Queen Anne architecture and has also been known as Luerhs Rooming House and BW04-001.</p><br>
<p>It was bought in 1984 by a local historical society, the Long Pine Heritage Society, which intended to preserve the building and open it as a local history museum.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Bowman&#39;s Folly, also known as Montpelier, is a historic home located near Accomac, Accomack County, Virginia. It was built about 1815, and has a 2 1/2-story, main block with a 1 1/2-story wing. The main block has brick ends with interior end chimneys and frame fronts on the north and south. It has a gable roof with dormers. The front facade features a Palladian window and pedimented entrance porch. Also on the property are a frame kitchen, now connected to the main house by a hyphen; frame dovecote, and frame privy.</p><br>
<p>The house has the name of Edmund Bowman; he regretted his decision to locate at the site in the 1660s (hence the suffix "Folly") after his son died of disease. Even though the house has been rebuilt, its name still recalls the pioneer incident. The present house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Bunting Place, also known as Mapp Farm and Nickawampus Farm, is a historic home and farm located at Wachapreague, Accomack County, Virginia. It was built about 1826, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick-ended frame house. It sits on a raised Flemish bond brick foundation with cellar and has a medium pitched gable roof. The house has Federal style details. Attached to the main block is a 1 1/2-story frame wing that provided original service to the house and serves presently as a modern kitchen. Attached to the wing are two additional sections extending the main block in a stepped or telescope form. Also on the property are a contributing gable-front frame barn and a rectangular frame corn house, as well as a small family cemetery with four burials.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Mason House, also known as the Hinman-Mason House, is an historic dwelling located at Guilford in Accomack County, Virginia. Trees were cut for its construction in the winter of 1729/30 and construction likely started soon thereafter. The house is a single story, single-pile, three-bay, brick structure. The mason hired to construct it laid its brickwork in an extraordinary fashion, which reflects its early date. He set glazed brick headers in large chevron patterns in recessed panels between the front windows and door. He seemed also to have raised the chimneys as exterior features, but they were demolished and rebuilt as interior stacks in the 19th century. To date no archaeological evidence for their original form have been found.</p><br>
<p>Timber work in the house is as unusual as the brickwork. The carpenter raised the roof in common rafter pairs with rafters set flat, as is typical of early work. He spiked the rafters to a tilted false plate. While one would expect these details, the setting of the false plate directly over the brick wall is unusual. The reason for this alignment of the false plate allows for kick rafters, common to late 17th and early 18th century buildings, and for a boxed cornice, the latter quite unusual for country dwellings in the Chesapeake at this date. This is the earliest recorded tilted false plate in the mid-Atlantic states that includes a boxed cornice.</p><br>
<p>The carpenter then covered the roof with weatherboards to act as sheathing for wooden shingles that were pegged (instead of nailed) in place. Dormers which survived until recently date to the late 18th century, reportedly replacing wider ones thought to have been part of the original construction.</p><br>
<p>Original mantels do not survive, but window frames, sash, door trim and the staircase do. In general, the trim is spare but distinctive. At least one door architrave used on the ground floor includes a wide plane that transitions to the adjoining plaster wall with a cyma in a manner uncharacteristic of typical Georgian-era work. Similar architraves were used at Larkins Hundred, a ca. 1740 dwelling in Anne Arundel County Maryland, and in the original 1740s wing of Myrtle Grove in Talbot County on Marylands Eastern Shore. The joiner built the stair as a closed string, with heavy, symmetrically-turned balusters set over a skirt board finished as an Ionic entablature complete with a pulvinated frieze. A large, molded newel post is reminiscent of late 17th-century work in England and its handrail, molded in the form of early Georgian work, is quite large in cross section. The rail and molded treads are made of oak.</p><br>
<p>Partitions between first-floor rooms are of frame construction. That between the passage and the "hall" was originally insulated for sound with "filling"—a clay material packed between the wall studs. The baseboard was installed and painted black (with some of the paint slopping onto the filling) before the wall was plastered. Widely-spaced riven lath was then nailed to the studs to help to bind the plaster to the walls. Such widely-spaced plaster lath, while uncommon in the period, is nevertheless frequently discovered on the Shore, most recently at Grape Valley (1742), nearby in Birdsnest.</p><br>
<p>The house is an early example of one laid out with a center passage. A parlor (or master bedchamber) and hall flank the passage on the ground floor. Two chambers flank the passage in the attic. A frame wing was added in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Researchers at Colonial Williamsburg discovered a handmade paint brush used during original construction as a wedge to prop the front wall plate in position. Masons then sealed it when they plastered the interior wall, attesting to its date of insertion. Paint analysis by Susan Buck demonstrates that despite its crudity it had been used to coat something with a paint that included hand-ground Prussian blue pigments, making it the earliest recorded use in America.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Chapel Cleeve Manor in Chapel Cleeve, Somerset, England started life in the 1450s as a pilgrims&#39; hostel. It was enlarged in the 19th and 20th centuries when it was a private house and then a hotel. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The oldest part of the house was built as an inn for pilgrims attending the chapel of St Mary which was built by the monks of Cleeve Abbey in the mid-15th century. The chapel was built to replace one which had fallen into the sea, however the later version no longer exists.</p><br>
<p>Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the house was leased by Henry VIII to Anthony Busted however this was revoked and the estate given to Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex for his services to the king. In the early 17th century the property was owned by the Stewkley family who used it as a family home until 1723. It was then purchased by Sir James Langham, 7th Baronet. In the early 19th century woods were planted on the estate, when the house was extended following designs by Richard Carver.</p><br>
<p>In World War I the house was occupied by the Lysaght family who added the current main entrance and a ballroom, which is now used as the dining room.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>In 1998 the house was bought for £360,000 by a couple who intended to restore it with friends. Part-restoration of some areas was completed in 2002. After having parted ways, the remaining owner, Jeannie Wilkins, unable to afford further restoration works and upkeep, placed the 17-bedroom house, with 7 acre of land, up for sale with a price of £1,695,000 however it is estimated it would take at least £500,000 to make it habitable.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, after having been on the market unsold for over a year, the manor was used in an episode of the Channel 4 television series Country House Rescue. Strategies were discussed and tested, with the house used as a location for ghost hunting tours and special excursions were run by the West Somerset Railway to the building to help raise funds to assist the current owner to continue restoration works and to reside in the manor.</p><br>
<p>In June 2015 the manor remained on the market with approximately £500,000 of renovation work needed, although some restoration has been undertaken by students from Somerset College.</p><br>
<p>Hidle or Sør-Hidle is an island in Strand municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 1.4 km&sup2; island lies at the southeastern edge of a large archipelago of islands located between the Boknafjorden and the mouth of the Høgsfjorden, just to the northeast of city of Stavanger.

<p>Åmøy is an island that is divided between Rennesøy and Stavanger municipalities in Rogaland county, Norway. The 5.3 km&sup2; island lies just north of the city of Stavanger in a group of islands. The islands of Sokn and Bru both lie to the west of Åmøy and the islands of Mosterøy and Rennesøy lie to the north, and the island of Hidle lies to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island is a long, narrow island with a very narrow isthmus in the middle. The western part of the island (Vestre Åmøy) is part of Rennesøy municipality. The eastern part (Austre Åmøy) is part of Stavanger municipality. Both halves of the island have their own chapel, Austre Åmøy Chapel and Vestre Åmøy Chapel. In 2014, there were 618 people living on the island with 328 living on the Rennesøy part and the remaining 290 people living in the Stavanger part. Austre Åmøy sorts under the burrough of Tasta.</p><br>
<p>The island was served by local boats for many years. In 1992 Åmøy was connected to the mainland via road bridge to Sokn, with further connection to the subsea Byfjord Tunnel.</p><br>
<p>There have been efforts by some residents of the eastern half of the island to have a referendum that would transfer them from Stavanger to Rennesøy, thus uniting the island under one municipal government, but efforts have not been successful with no clear majority on the island wanting to change.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Nearly 1,000 rock carvings, dated from the Bronze Age, are found at the island. Among the picture motifs are people, animals, fish, ships and tools. Ostensibly. the Meling farm, claims to have the "largest concentration of rock carvings in Rogaland." Larger petroglyph fields are signed and open to the public. It is claimed that they were the product of a "cult" that viewed "the sun an animating factor." Many varieties of ships appear, and are evidently a significant religious symbol metaphorically interpreted as symbols of holiness, power, and means of transportation to the sun and divinity. There have also been found prehistoric sites from the Stone Age and Iron Age, including burial mounds and foundations for living houses and boathouses.</p><br>
