They crossed this water in skin canoes, or by swimming; but they know not how long they were in crossing, or whether the water was salt or fresh.” While the Dakotas, according to Major Lynd, who lived among them for nine years, possessed legends of “huge skiffs, in which the Dakotas of old floated for weeks, finally gaining dry land”–a reminiscence of ships and long sea-voyages.
In the mid-1930s, with support from geologists like Richard Field and William Bowie, Ewing secured ship time on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s research vessel RV Atlantis.
He outfitted the ship with echo sounders, towed hydrophones for seismic work, dredges, sediment corers, and underwater cameras.
Ewing prioritized dedicated ships for year-round operations rather than short, targeted cruises:
These ships operated relentlessly (often 300+ days/year), amassing unprecedented datasets across all oceans.
These names likely come from exploratory ships (like RV Atlantis) or conventional naming practices, with “Plato” possibly nodding to the philosopher in a light or coincidental way.
Propulsion of vehicles — airships, surface ships, and submarines — using invisible rays (through a form of induction or remote control).
The faithful (I’hins/Faithists) are saved in ships and become the seed of renewal.
Russian Folktales: The motif also independently appeared in Eastern European folklore (often involving the witch Baba Yaga), where it became known as a self-flying carpet or a magic ship.
According to Menzies’s studies, Minoan ships ranged from the Americas to India.
Menzies wrote of ingots of nearly pure copper found in a sunken Minoan ship near Thera. Because copper of this quality is found only near Lake Superior in North America, the Minoans clearly had amazing range with their fleet of ships.
And as you well know, the priest-architect of Atlantis, known to you as Noah, constructed a mighty ship that eventually carried animals and humans to the new colonies around the planet, particularly toward the area in the Middle East of today that you call the Fertile Crescent.
And so you migrated by land, by sea, and flying through the air in ships.
When Atlantis had completed its whole cycle and the time of its final destruction came, the wise teachers of Atlantis took their followers by ship and then overland to new locations all around the world.
They teleported or came in space ships and in ways that we do not yet understand.
They taught me that even if I can’t physically get into the water while on the ship, I can still harness its power.
They come by ship, both through the water and the air.
37:140-141: [He fled] to the laden ship… cast lots and was among the losers.
Is a ship, science, or a stone arch, or a machine?
Thou also hast boasted, saying: Behold our ships of war!
So also hath the man of much learning drowned his own spirit in darkness; nevertheless, the man of suis shall not neglect book learning; otherwise he is but as a clock without a regulator, a ship without a rudder.
And I know there are ships that are going down into this.
And there was … what I would call a ship, that is very odd-looking.
1. The Greek philosophy was full of pungent truth, and Jesus longed to study with the masters in the schools of Greece.2. And so he left his home in Nazareth and crossed the Carmel hills, and at the port took ship, and soon was in the Grecian capital.3. Now, the Athenians had heard of him as teacher and philosopher, and they were glad to have him come to them that they might hear his words of truth.4. Among the masters of the Greeks was one, Apollo, who was called, Defender of the Oracle, and recognised in many lands as Grecian sage.5. Apollo opened up for Jesus all the doors of Grecian lore, and in the Areopagus he heard the wisest masters speak.6. But Jesus brought to them a wisdom greater far than theirs; and so he taught.7. Once in the Amphitheatre he stood, and when Apollo bade him speak he said,8. Athenian masters, hear!
1. It was a holy day and Jesus walked upon the Athens beach.2. A storm was on and ships were being tossed about like toys upon the bosom of the sea.3. The sailors and the fishermen were going down to watery graves; the shores were strewn with bodies of the dead.4. And Jesus halted not, but with a mighty power he rescued many a helpless one, oft bringing back to life the seeming dead.5. Now, on these shores were altars sacred to the gods supposed to rule the seas.6. And men and women, heedless of the cries of drowning men were crowding all about these altars calling on their gods for help.7. At length the storm was done, and all the sea was calm, and men could think again; and Jesus said,8. You worshippers of wooden gods, how has the fury of this storm been lessened by your frantic prayers?9. Where is the strength of these poor, weather-beaten gods with painted swords and crowns?10. A god that could abide in such a little house could hardly hold a frantic fly, and who could hope that he could hold at bay the Lords of winds and waves?11. The mighty powers of worlds unseen do not give forth their help till men have done their best; they only help when men can do no more.12. And you have agonised and prayed around these shrines, and let men sink to death who might have been, by your assistance, saved.13. The God that saves dwells in your souls, and manifests by making use of your own feet, and legs, and arms, and hands.14. Strength never comes through idleness; nor through a waiting for another one to bear your loads, or do the work that you are called to do.15. But when you do your best to bear your loads, and do your work, you offer unto God a sacrifice well-pleasing in his sight.16. And then the Holy One breathes deep upon your glowing sacrificial coals, and makes them blaze aloft to fill your souls with light, and strength and helpfulness.17. The most efficient prayer that men can offer to a god of any kind is helpfulness to those in need of help; for what you do for other men the Holy One will do for you.18. And thus God helps.19. His work in Greece was done, and Jesus must go on his way to Egypt in the South.
The body had been given unto holy men who had been friends of John; they placed it in a burial case and carried it away.16. They bore it to the Jordan, which they crossed just at the ford where John first preached the word;17. And through the passes of the Judean hills they carried it.18. They reached the sacred grounds near Hebron, where the bodies of the parents of the harbinger lay in their tombs;19. And there they buried it; and then they went their way.20. Now, when the news reached Galilee that John was dead the people met to sing the sonnets of the dead.21. And Jesus and the foreign masters and the twelve took ship to cross the sea of Galilee.22. A scribe, a faithful friend of John, stood by the sea; he called to Jesus and he said, Rabboni, let me follow where you go.23. And Jesus said, You seek a safe retreat from evil men.
In Lebanon hills and vales, and in its groves he walked in silent thought.25. His earthly mission fast was drawing to a close; he sought for strength, and what he sought he found.26. Mount Hermon stood beyond, and Jesus fain would kneel beside that mountain famed in Hebrew song.27. And then he stood upon Mount Hermon's lofty peaks, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he talked with God.28. And masters of the olden times revealed themselves and long they talked about the kingdom of the Christ;29. about the mighty works that had been done; about the coming conquest of the cross; about the victory over death.30. Then Jesus journeyed on; he went to Cæsarea-Philippi, and in Susanna's home he tarried certain days.31. And then he went through all Decapolis to give encouragement to those who knew him as the Christ, and to prepare them for the day of Calvary.32. And then he went to Gadara, and many friends were there, to welcome him.33. And Chuzas steward of the house of Herod Antipas, was there, and Jesus went aboard the royal ship with him and crossed the sea, and came unto Capernaum.34. And when the people knew that Jesus was at home they came to welcome him.35. In just a little while the twelve apostles came and told the master all about their journey over Galilee.36. They said that by the sacred Word they had done many mighty works; and Jesus said to them, Well done.
The legends say that at first the people lived in their ship.
Either way they left in their ship.
Tuin said there was a small group of people there whenever the ship crashed.
So this ship that landed with Tuin's ancestors was not the only ship that ever visited the Earth.
There are mother ships surrounding this planet that are acting as literal transducers of energy.
They set sails to the wind, though as yet the seamen had poor knowledge of their use, and the ships’ keels that once were trees standing amongst high mountains, now leaped through uncharted waves.

This alignment aids extraterrestrial ship navigation and retroengineering, with Las Vegas and Los Angeles tapping into this energy at varying angles.
The I'hins (Faithists) were saved in 138 ships, carrying pairs of living creatures and food supplies.
After 150 days, the ships landed in five regions, repopulating the earth: Guatama (Americas), Jaffeth (China), Shem (India), Ham (Africa/Egypt), and Yista (Japan).
Their temples and cosmic ships reflected advanced knowledge, including use of atomic energy from minerals, plants, and metals.
Lemurians adapted by becoming seafaring and building ships.
Technology and Science: Airships propelled by vril (will-power force); sea-ships; alchemy for metals; agriculture with occult influences.
"They had knowledge of forces […] one of these forces was employed to propel both air- and water-ships; another for changing the attractive force of gravity into a repelling force, so that the raising of gigantic stones to a lofty height was a matter of the greatest ease." (p.
They based their laboratory-ship on the now-sunken continent Lemuria, attached to Africa.
Thus, the first sightings followed the direct experiences with the crew (guides aliens or older siblings) and physical entry to their ships.
The big white ship landed on the old Shamo Desert, the Gobi in Mongolia today.
They established their ship-Lab on a continent now disappeared and that was once attached to Africa, the one English zoologist P.
This experience always with the close presence of a ship of the Confederacy.
Oars are long poles with a flat blade at one end, used to propel and steer a boat or ship through water by manual rowing.
'Indeed he would.' Suppose a person to censure such meetings—he may be right, but also he may have known them only in their disorderly state, under a drunken master of the feast; and a drunken general or pilot cannot save his army or his ships.
'Certainly.' And we must remember further that we are speaking of the education, not of a trainer, or of the captain of a ship, but of a perfect citizen who knows how to rule and how to obey; and such an education aims at virtue, and not at wealth or strength or mere cleverness.
Is there timber for ship-building?
'There is no pine, nor much cypress; and very little stone-pine or plane wood for the interior of ships.' That is good.
Minos, who was a great sea-king, imposed upon the Athenians a cruel tribute, for in those days they were not a maritime power; they had no timber for ship-building, and therefore they could not 'imitate their enemies'; and better far, as I maintain, would it have been for them to have lost many times over the lives which they devoted to the tribute than to have turned soldiers into sailors.
Naval warfare is not a very praiseworthy art; men should not be taught to leap on shore, and then again to hurry back to their ships, or to find specious excuses for throwing away their arms; bad customs ought not to be gilded with fine words.
And retreat is always bad, as we are taught in Homer, when he introduces Odysseus, setting forth to Agamemnon the danger of ships being at hand when soldiers are disposed to fly.
When a ship is sailing on the sea, vigilance must not be relaxed night or day; and the vessel of state is tossing in a political sea, and therefore watch must continually succeed watch, and rulers must join hands with rulers.
'That is the argument.' But let us apply our images to the Gods—are they the pilots who are won by gifts to wreck their own ships—or the charioteers who are bribed to lose the race—or the generals, or doctors, or husbandmen, who are perverted from their duty—or the dogs who are silenced by wolves?
For the truth is that there are many causes of the dissolution of states; which, like ships or animals, have their cords, and girders, and sinews easily relaxed, and nothing tends more to their welfare and preservation than the supervision of them by examiners who are better than the magistrates; failing in this they fall to pieces, and each becomes many instead of one.
In the case of a ship, for example, the senses of the sailors are added to the intelligence of the pilot, and the two together save the ship and the men in the ship.
Any foreigner might visit Athens; her ships found a way to the most distant shores; the riches of the whole earth poured in upon her.
The islanders before the inhabitants of the continent, the maritime cities before the inland, the Corinthians and Athenians before the Spartans, were compelled to fit out ships: last of all the Spartans, by the pressure of the Peloponnesian War, were driven to establish a naval force, which, after the battle of Aegospotami, for more than a generation commanded the Aegean.
Do you not see that a drunken pilot or a drunken ruler of any sort will ruin ship, chariot, army—anything, in short, of which he has the direction?
At present, when we speak in terms of praise or blame about the bringing-up of each person, we call one man educated and another uneducated, although the uneducated man may be sometimes very well educated for the calling of a retail trader, or of a captain of a ship, and the like.
The Athenians were under the impression that the whole expedition was directed against them, in consequence of the battle of Marathon; and hearing of the bridge over the Hellespont, and the canal of Athos, and the host of ships, considering that there was no salvation for them either by land or by sea, for there was no one to help them, and remembering that in the first expedition, when the Persians destroyed Eretria, no one came to their help, or would risk the danger of an alliance with them, they thought that this would happen again, at least on land; nor, when they looked to the sea, could they descry any hope of salvation; for they were attacked by a thousand vessels and more.
ATHENIAN: Well, but let me ask, how is the country supplied with timber for ship-building?
CLEINIAS: There is no fir of any consequence, nor pine, and not much cypress; and you will find very little stone-pine or plane-wood, which shipwrights always require for the interior of ships.
I was saying that the imitation of enemies was a bad thing; and I was thinking of a case in which a maritime people are harassed by enemies, as the Athenians were by Minos (I do not speak from any desire to recall past grievances); but he, as we know, was a great naval potentate, who compelled the inhabitants of Attica to pay him a cruel tribute; and in those days they had no ships of war as they now have, nor was the country filled with ship-timber, and therefore they could not readily build them.
Better for them to have lost many times over the seven youths, than that heavy-armed and stationary troops should have been turned into sailors, and accustomed to be often leaping on shore, and again to come running back to their ships; or should have fancied that there was no disgrace in not awaiting the attack of an enemy and dying boldly; and that there were good reasons, and plenty of them, for a man throwing away his arms, and betaking himself to flight,—which is not dishonourable, as people say, at certain times.
You may learn the evil of such a practice from Homer, by whom Odysseus is introduced, rebuking Agamemnon, because he desires to draw down the ships to the sea at a time when the Achaeans are hard pressed by the Trojans,—he gets angry with him, and says:
'Who, at a time when the battle is in full cry, biddest to drag the well-benched ships into the sea, that the prayers of the Trojans may be accomplished yet more, and high ruin fall upon us.
For the Achaeans will not maintain the battle, when the ships are drawn into the sea, but they will look behind and will cease from strife; in that the counsel which you give will prove injurious.'
Moreover, naval powers which owe their safety to ships, do not give honour to that sort of warlike excellence which is most deserving of it.
But as a ship sailing on the sea has to be watched night and day, in like manner a city also is sailing on a sea of politics, and is liable to all sorts of insidious assaults; and therefore from morning to night, and from night to morning, rulers must join hands with rulers, and watchers with watchers, receiving and giving up their trust in a perpetual succession.
As the shipwright first lays down the lines of the keel, and thus, as it were, draws the ship in outline, so do I seek to distinguish the patterns of life, and lay down their keels according to the nature of different men's souls; seeking truly to consider by what means, and in what ways, we may go through the voyage of life best.
ATHENIAN: Let this, then, be deemed one of the causes which prevent states from pursuing in an efficient manner the art of war, or any other noble aim, but makes the orderly and temperate part of mankind into merchants, and captains of ships, and servants, and converts the valiant sort into thieves and burglars, and robbers of temples, and violent, tyrannical persons; many of whom are not without ability, but they are unfortunate.
Will he say that they are like pilots, who are themselves turned away from their duty by 'libations of wine and the savour of fat,' and at last overturn both ship and sailors?
For the truth is, that there are many elements of dissolution in a state, as there are also in a ship, or in an animal; they all have their cords, and girders, and sinews—one nature diffused in many places, and called by many names; and the office of examiner is a most important element in the preservation and dissolution of states.
ATHENIAN: Yes, indeed; but with what is that intellect concerned which, mingling with the senses, is the salvation of ships in storms as well as in fair weather?
In a ship, when the pilot and the sailors unite their perceptions with the piloting mind, do they not save both themselves and their craft?
Describe one of the ships of the air that was used during the highest period of mechanical development in Atlantis.
In those ancient days, large planet-ships housing many beings traveled slowly between star systems.
Regular circuits of travel took ships through the Sirian system and the local star neighborhood, including your Sun.
Whenever one of these planet-ships arrived, humanity was influenced in some way, in science, art, or philosophy.
These circuits were predictable in the ancient days, so people on Earth always knew when the next planet-ship was coming.
