Costing £600,000 and opened on the 1st April 1969, Calais hoverport was located just north-east of the ferry terminal at Calais, France. The Dover to Calais cross channel route is the quickest way to cross the channel between two populated and easily accessible areas, at 24 miles (40 km). Dover to Calais is not the shortest distance between England and France, however, as (with the exception of the Channel Islands), the closest points to each other in England and France are the tip of the Admiralty Pier, Dover and Cap Gris-Nez respectively, just south-west of Calais, with a distance of 19.91 miles (32.04 km). However, Cap Gris-Nez is merely a headland, and therefore not accessible for traffic.]]>

The first stage of lake test will include a dry-dock test, all electrical items will be tested to ensure they are operating correctly. Once dry-dock testing is completed the boat will be moved to the water, once on the water there is a 50 point quality assurance check list that will be completed.

Every Malibu built is lake tested to ensure that the boats complete electronic and mechanical functions are operating and functioning harmoniously. All electronics are run through their paces for precision and function, the speedometer is calibrated with a radar gun, the Malibu Precision Pro Speed Control is activated and run through it’s settings, the Wedge is deployed and raised for proper functionality, the ballast system is filled and drained, electronic and mechanical systems all receive the final Malibu test to ensure every Malibu is completed and ready for shipment to your local Malibu dealer.]]>

Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.

The Department of Docks stood on Pier A, Manhattan's southmost Hudson River pier. This utilitarian brick structure was built in 1886; in 1900, a three-story front section and metal siding were added, and in 1919, a clocktower was appended as the nation's first World War I memorial. In Abbott's day, celebrities arriving in New York City were ceremoniously greeted here, and the department's guestbook, which included the signature of Charles Lindbergh, attracted tourists visiting the nearby aquarium.

Although slated for demolition during the construction of Battery Park City, the building was designated a landmark in 1975. Now vacant, it is likely to be renovated for commercial use.

Pier A was built immediately after work was finished on the Brooklyn Bridge and with the same equipment.]]>

David Byrne uses a retrofitted, antique organ as the control station for the musical instrument. Instead of using wind forced through pipes, each of the organ’s keys are connected by a multitude of tubes, pipes and wires to every conceivable facet of the building. Playing the organ causes various devices to hammer on water pipes, vibrate motors against the ceiling girders, magnetically beat against the building’s roof columns or blow air through pipes. The 99 year old previously disused space is converted into a cast-iron orchestra, conducted by Byrne or any other person who wishes to play.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/battery-maritime-building-turned-into-a-musical-instrument/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/battery-maritime-building-turned-into-a-musical-instrument/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:26:02 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/battery-maritime-building-turned-into-a-musical-instrument/ 40.70108000 -74.01152300 <![CDATA[Battery Maritime Building]]>
