On the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, 1700 feet under the surface, archaeologists found the wreck of the old side-wheel steamship, "Republic."  She sank in a great hurricane in October, 1865, off the coast of Georgia (US - the country of Georgia is landlocked).\n\nNewspaper reports after the ship's loss said that she went down with $400,000 of gold coin, destined for New Orleans.  And one newspaper story suggesed she also carried a separate cargo of $70,000 in coin for someone else in New Orleans.\n\nUsing robotic equipment, the archaeologists excavated the SS Republic.  They found the remnants of two wooden barrels holding gold and silver coins, 59,000 in all.  So far, they have not found the rest of the money said to have been aboard th ship.\n\nThe wreck of the SS Republic presents MANY historical mysteries.  One of the myseries is, who were the people who escaped from her that stormy day?  Some are known and their stories have been found, but most remain just names in newspaper lists of shipwreck survivors.  Another is who were the people who died after the ship sank?  Newspaper accounts suggest one or two people drowned while swimming away from the sinking ship to lifeboats, and either 14 or 16 people died while castaways on a raft that was not found until a week after the sinking.  All of these people today are forgotten, nameless victims; who were they?\n\nOf course, the archaeologists would VERY much like to know where the rest of the money can be found on the wreck.\n\nAnd finally there is THIS mystery:\n\nAt least one and maybe more of the canvas bags of coins in the barrels came from the Bank of New York.  The archaeologists found the lead seals used by the bank to close the bags.  Those bags of coins were silver half-dollars, ALL made in the New Orleans mint in 1861 - some before Louisiana seceded from the Union, some made while Louisiana was an independent state, and others made when the Confederacy ruled.  So the coins in these bags were under Confederate control after they were minted.  Most of the money in New Orleans was dispersed into the Deep South when the Union assaulted, and captured, the city in April of 1862. \n\nHOW DID THEY GET TO NEW YORK DURING THE CIVIL WAR?\n\nHow did these bags of 1861 "O" silver half-dollars end up in a New York bank vault, and then come to be put on the doomed vessel to be shipped back to New Orleans only months after the war had ended?

Get in touch with me, buong, I am, and I will be leaving in 4 days. My name here is Glalien, I come from Pleedeeze, it takes 8 hours to arrive here from our planet, via time warping. Our ships are made of nothing you have on this planet. Our propulsion is of magnetics. You will not believe me if I tell you why we are here. Look me up.

I realize this will be quite difficult, but you will have to do a little more "dirty hands" research and dig up some information such as the name of the company who owned the ship, or where it was built, etc. in order to find your info.  I have seen lots of info about ship-owning families and companies, but few ship's names (except very famous ones) actually appearing in web searches.  Good luck!

Who really knows....My guess is aborigine. I mena best guess it appears the island is in the south pacific near Autralia..makes sense to me......

I would guess at least 5 billion. How could you get a number anyways. I know there is census, but there are just way to many people to count like that, especially in places that are remote. Now I am curious lol.

I Think It's One Human For Every 18 Kangaroo's\n\n\n\n\nAustralia's refugee admissions of about 12,000 per year \nare in addition to the normal immigration program.\n \nIn recent years, the government has given priority \nto refugees from the Soviet Union, the Middle East, and Africa. \nIn recent years, refugees from Indochina, South America, \nand today, the former Yugoslavia \nhave comprised the largest single element \nin Australia's refugee program.\n\nEmigration now also plays a role \nin changing Australian demographics. \n\nThe term, Australian diaspora, \nrefers to the 850,000 Australian citizens \nwho today live outside Australia. \nThis phenomenon is relatively new in Australia's history, estimated as having occurred over the last 40 years. \nAwareness of this demographic \n(almost 5% of the Australian population) \nis growing and supported by government initiatives.\n\nAlthough Australia has scarcely more than \ntwo persons per square kilometer of total land area, \nthis raw figure is highly misleading: \nmost of the continent is desert or semi-desert \nand of limited agricultural value. \n\nIn consequence, \nAustralia is one of the world's most urbanized countries : \n91% of Australia's population lives in urban areas.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Australia#Population_growth_rate

It was a British Military-run penal colony that offered British citizens the opportunity to cultivate and settle the land. Tasmania was the "alkatraz" for the worst of AU's criminals.

When I started this project, I had no idea how big it would get. I figured that I would just use a few of my reference books on naval ships so that people on the Netnews group rec.arts.startrek.misc would ask fewer uninformed questions about naval history. I used to post it regularly to that newsgroup, until Joe Creighton offered to put it on his "Star Trek Archive" web site. (April 1995) The hit rate astonished me! People were really reading this stuff! Anyhow, people started e-mailing me with additional information, suggestions for improvements, etc. It got to be a bit overwhelming. Now I'm finding that it's not just Star Trek fans who are interested. I'm now finding links to this site on real naval history sites! I suppose I should point out to any legitimate naval historians out there that this was originally designed for fans of the various Star Trek television series, and so references to future history (23rd & 24th centuries) and an obscure incedent aboard CVN-65 in 1986 involving one Pavel Chekov are of course, fiction. I was also a bit sloppier about references than I should have been. When I started this, I was doing it for a (then) small community of Star Trek fans on the Internet, and I wasn't really planning on it being an academic work with footnotes and references. Some things got lost in the shuffle, and probably a few errors have crept in during transcription. Nevertheless, I've tried to at least list my sources, and thank those who have contributed.

I do not understand exactly what you mean, but I suspect you are asking when did large numbers of Vietnamese come to Australia. Obviously, there were probably a few people from many different countries in Australia, but this probably wouldn't require the question you ask. So, when you refer to when, I will take it you mean large numbers.\n\nAfter the Americans (and some of its allies) left Vietnam in  1975, there was no one to fight against the Communist North Vietnamese who were waging war against the South. We were fighting against the North and when we left, there was no one to help the Southerners. Eventually, financial support and training also was removed from the South, while the North was receiving all it needed from it's allies. The North was simply to strong for the South and the North won. The northerners began to kill many from the south. The Southerners took to the sea in small fragile boats to escape the bloodshed. Hundreds of thousands fled. Many of these people wound up in Australia and in the United States. \n\nThis was after 1975. Many of these people weren't automatically given citizenship, but they were still living in countries like Australia, which is just to the south of Vietnam. It took in about 300,000 Vietnamese.\n\nThis is all from my general knowledge, but here is a good site that can explain some of the events.

get a transfer to another spaceship that does not have a klingon as the captain, maybe one of the confederate vessels could help you out? You know anything about navagating through warp space? If you do you can mail me your resume at info@starshipenterprize.com I need a new nagigator.
