Shearwater is a classic Newport-style schooner yacht, only recently recognized as a national landmark in 2009.  The vessel was built by Rice Brother Corporation in East Boothbay, Maine, back in a time when yachting was a rare combination of elegance and adventure; Rice Bros. were well known for building luxury pleasure yachts and produced some 4,000 hulls over a period of 64 years. The keel was laid down on January 4, 1929 and a news clip from the Boothbay Register reflects alongside a photograph "Tyler Hodgon at the old Tide Mill is getting out timbers for the schooner to be built at Rice’s. Vessel to be built of native white oak." Traditionally built from hand-hewn native white oak, she was the last boat to be constructed at that yard - likely due to the ensuing Great Depression brought on by the Stock Market Crash that occurred later that autumn.  East Boothbay was a small coastal town with shipbuilding being its only industry. About 40 workmen were employed for the construction of SHEARWATER. Her designer Theodore Donald Wells was born in Hudson Falls, N Y on October 22, 1875. He was a naval architect and marine engineer, a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and also the Institute of Naval Architects London. His education included post-graduate work at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. He began his career as a member of the firm Herreshoff and Wells, N. Y. City in 1902. Working with Herreshoff no doubt had an influence on his designs, which bear similarities to many of the famous Herreshoff designed yachts of that time. From 1903 to 1907 he worked for Wintringham and Wells and then began practicing his profession under his own name. Mr. Wells joined the Navy Department in March 1917 and became Superintending Constructor of the Baltimore District U. S. N. Notable yachts designed and constructed under his supervision are "Viking" a 272 foot steel motor yacht built for George F. Baker in 1929 by Newport News and "Karina" a three masted schooner built for Robert E. Tod in 1932 by Staten Island Shipbuilding. Mr. Tod was a well-known offshore yachtsman as was his former yacht ‘Thistle", which competed in the Emperors Cup ocean race. SHEARWATER was launched on May 4, 1929 and photographs in the Boothbay Register reflect her graceful and elegant lines. Her first Captain, Leon Esterbrook of Edgarton, MA, arrived to take charge of the fitting out. Her owner Charles E Dunlap was a member of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, Oyster Bay, NY and this became SHEARWATER’s first homeport after her completion in late September 1929. It was there in Oyster Bay that she first started to thrill those who sailed in luxury aboard her and those who were privileged to crew her on race day. Since her launching and documentation in Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts in 1929, she has had a colorful history and has been carefully maintained and restored to standards that few contemporary vessels are able to match and is truly a piece of American Maritime History. On November 7, 1942 SHEARWATER was requisitioned by the War Shipping Administration and became a member of The United States Coast Guard’s Coastal Picket Patrol during World War Two. She was painted gray and bore the numbers CG67004. Based at Little Creek, Virginia she patrolled the waters east of the Chesapeake Bay entrance and south towards Cape Hatteras. Her skipper during that period reflected on how they used their free time while out on submarine patrol to race against other yachts and in his own words "sailed in tandem with the schooner Lord Jim, racing in and out of port, up and down the east coast and winning." She was designed and built as a gaff rigged schooner but during this period was changed to a Marconi rig. She carries over 2,550 square feet while under full sail. A true veteran world cruiser, she first transited the Panama Canal in July 1946 and in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s completed a two and a half-year global circumnavigation. In December 1971 Mrs. John B. Thayer of Rosemont, wife of a former trustee and treasurer, donated SHEARWATER to the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute of Environmental Medicine. She was used by the university as a laboratory for research on physiological responses to the stresses of living and working underwater. Captained by James Shearson, she was fitted with compressors, generators, monitoring instruments and a small decompression chamber. She has participated in many Ancient Mariner and Classic yacht races in U S waters as well as racing in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand while on her circumnavigation in the early 1980’s. It is rumored she was once dismasted in the famous Newport to Bermuda race. She was last raced by the current owners in San Diego in May 1995 in the American Schooner Cup and finished second overall. She entered the yacht charter industry in 1966 whilst on the West Coast sailing to the Channel Islands and was again used to generate income to keep her shipshape while owned by the University of Pennsylvania. During the chartering industry’s infancy in the Caribbean, SHEARWATER was known as the " Queen of the Fleet". Today she continues this tradition offering the most unique sailing experience and has passed rigid Coast Guard inspections and can carry up to 49 passengers. We welcome you to join us for an excellent opportunity to experience the ambiance of a vintage sailing vessel while delighting in the splendors of The Manhattan sky-line, the Statue of Liberty or the beauty of the oceans beyond.

Zoo de Londres Territorio de los Tigres El Tiger Territory, hogar de los Tigres de Sumatra, una especie en grave peligro de extinción, está ahora abierta a los visitantes en el ZSL Zoo de Londres, donde una gran remodelación después de 186 años ha dado paso a un recinto de 2500 metros cuadrados. Quienes visiten el Tiger Territory se embarcarán en un viaje a través de su hábitat indonesio, encontrándose cara a cara con preciosos tigres a través de los ventanales de cristal ocupan . Cinco veces más grande que el antiguo hábitat de los tigres, la nueva zona ha sido diseñada con la ayuda de los cuidadores de tigres del ZSL, de los conservadores y expertos para asegurar que se adapta perfectamente a las necesidades de estos grandes felinos. Los tigres son trepadores excelentes y les gusta observar su territorio desde sitios altos, y Tiger Territory les facilita este tipo de comportamientos con grandes árboles que los tigres pueden escalar y puntos de alimentación altos para animar a que perpetúen sus instintos predadores naturales. Al contrario que a los gatos, a los tigres les encanta el agua, y los visitantes muy probablemente los podrán ver divirtiéndose en la piscina especialmente hecha para ellos. Cuando no están jugando con el agua, los tigres pueden acceder a las zonas interiores donde los visitantes podrán ver a estos grandes felinos relajándose. Un equipo de horticultores expertos del Zoo ha recreado con el máximo de esmero posible la fauna de Sumatra, recientemente investigada por uno de los cuidadores, Teague Stubbington, en su viaje al proyecto de conservación de tigres de la ZSL. La Tiger Territory también permitirá criar a Tigres de Sumatra en el Zoo de Londres para aprender más sobre ellos y poder aplicar estos conocimientos en el proyecto de conservación de la ZSL para esta especie. Tanto el Programa de Cría Europea como el Programa de Gestión Global de Especies para los Tigres de Sumatra están coordinados por el ZSL Zoo de Londres - donde los especialistas de la ZSL son responsables de asegurar una saludable y variada población de tigres en zoos de todo el mundo. El Tiger Territory informará e inspirará a las nuevas generaciones para que protejan al tigre y puedan entender su papel en la supervivencia de este bello animal. También ayudará a fundar el trabajo de conservación de los tigres de la ZSL. Aventura Animal El Zoo de Londres acaba de abrir Animal Adventure, el nuevo Zoo Infantil. Esta sección dará la oportunidad a miles de niños para sumergirse en las sensaciones, olores, sonidos y experiencias de la vida del reino animal.

Esta gran zona convierte la hora de la comida en un espectáculo aún mayor que antes. Penguin Beach Live ofrece dos veces al día la oportunidad de ver a estos simpáticos animales sumergirse para cazar su comida. Penguin Beach será una instalación para la reproducción del Pingüino de Humboldt, Macaroni, el Pingüino Africano y el Rockhopper, que se incluirán en una unidad de guardería especial. Esta incluirá un módulo de incubación de las crías y una piscina para que los miembros jóvenes puedan aprender a nadar. El Paraíso de las Mariposas El Butterfly Paradise del ZSL Zoo de Londres ofrece una gran muestra de especies de las zonas más importantes del mundo incluyendo África, el sudeste asiático y Asia central así como Sudamérica. Conozca los Monos Hace dos años, el Zoo lanzó el recorrido Meet the Monkeys. El recinto se creó como alejamiento para la cría de Monos Ardilla Bolivianos en un hábitat diseñado para recrear las Selvas de Bolivia tan fielmente como se puede hacer en el Centro de Londres. Acuario El Aquarium ha  sido parte del ZSL Zoo de Londres desde el 1853, y tiene una historia realmente interesante. Separada en tres espacios diferentes, el hogar de diferentes tipos de peces, el Aquarium está implicado en mucho y diferentes proyectos de cría y preservación. El Pavellón Blackburn Coja un vuelo hasta el nuevo espacio de pájaros tropicales en el recorrido del Blackburn Pavilion, y déjese transportar en un paraíso selvático en el centro de Londres!
