The Hall of American Maritime Enterprise portrays three centuries of ocean and river commerce with photographs, objects, films, and models of sailing ships and steamships. The exhibits also include dioramas and period settings representing the whaling industry, a colonial warehouse, a ship's engine room from 1930, and a modern river towboat pilothouse. The United States, like many countries, grew up around seaports. Even today, all but four of the nation's 20 largest cities have major harbors. Lining the walls of the first gallery in this hall are images of harbors and models of the types of ships that have kept harbors alive for centuries, from pilot schooners to steam tugs. The next gallery features the oldest commercial marine propeller known to have survived. It pushed and ultimately sank the ship Indiana when in 1858 one of its blades broke off, punctured the hull, and sent the vessel to the bottom of Lake Superior. Some 7 tons of the Indiana 's remains were recovered by the Smithsonian in 1979. The oldest commercial marine propeller known to have survived, from the

The Wrath of God: Disasters in America
This series examines some of the disasters, natural and man-made, that have had historical significance in America. The results of these disasters have ranged from weather warning systems to fire code regulations, but at a great price. Because of the loss of life and property these disasters caused, steps were taken to reduce and to eliminate the tragedies of similar disasters in the future. Wrath of God: Disasters in America would be useful for classes on American History, Civics, American Culture, Science and Technology, Geography and Safety. It is appropriate for middle school and high school. Torrents of Death This episode of Wrath of God: Disasters in America explores the destructive and awesome power of water. While water is necessary to sustain life, it also has the capacity to destroy life and everything in its path. When the forces of water are unleashed, humankind's barriers are washed away. Torrents of Death examines some of the most famous floods in American history, including the killer 1889 Johnstown Flood. Discussion Questions
  • Floods can be either natural disasters, or can be man-made. How can floods occur either naturally, or because of human intervention?

    The Rockies
    Majestic, inspiring, and seductive, the Rocky Mountains dominate the American mid-western landscape. These mountain ranges are America's greatest natural wonder and house many of the nation's national parks, including the first designated national park, and most famous, Yellowstone. The Rockies are home to a vast array of wildlife and provide a temporary refuge to millions of tourists who seek to hike its peaks, ski its slopes or ride its rivers. But the Rockies can be as dangerous as they are beautiful. Sudden changes in weather and conditions can quickly turn a pleasure excursion into a struggle for survival. The Rockies would be useful for classes on American History, American Culture, Natural History, Ecology, and Geography. It is appropriate for middle school and high school. War and Disaster This episode examines the role of natural and man-made disasters in the Rocky Mountains. As westward expansion escalated in the nineteenth century, confrontations between white Americans and Native Americans increased. The United States government instituted a series of Indian policies to deal with the situation and the ever-increasing desire of white Americans for Native American lands. The solutionthe Indian reservation. OBJECTIVES: Students will examine the history and cultural impact of America's greatest mountain ranges. They will explore the terrain of the ranges as well as the role of the Rocky Mountains in American history and American culture.

    CRIME
    Crime is antisocial conduct for which punishment may be imposed in the name of the state. Crimes can be classified according to their nature: violent personal crimes, such as murder and rape; property offenses, such as burglary and theft; and public welfare or moral infractions, such as gambling, intoxication, and promiscuous sexuality. Usually, those in the first group are thought to be more serious than those in the second and are therefore punished more severely. Today, in Western culture, the third group is perceived as the least serious, but two hundred years ago, moral infractions such as consensual sodomy could be punished by death. When the United States was founded, punishments for crimes ranged from public mockery, such as being fastened to a pillory, to being put to death. Dunking an offender in water as punishment for a moral offense was common. Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter confirms the use of extended social embarrassment as punishment for bad morals: Hester Prynne wore a red letter A, for adultery, embroidered on her dress.
