here have been many great naval warfare ships over the history of the U.S. Navy. Many aircraft carriers went on to great distinction especially in the heroic battles that were part of World War II Naval warfare history. Names like the Lexington, the Saratoga, the Yorktown and the Enterprise fill the history books of great warships of World War 2 naval warfare. But the humble USS Langley has a long and distinguished career that included becoming the first ship to be retrofitted into an aircraft carrier that make the Langley worth of its own place in U.S. Naval history as well.
The Langley actually started out as the USS Jupiter when it was first commissioned in 1911. The Jupiter was a collier level ship and once it was put into action, it spent some time South America helping to establish a military presence during the difficult Veracruz crisis in 1914. But once that tension passed, the Jupiter got its first historic distinction of becoming the first ship to go through the Panama Canal from west to east. This was the beginning of some quiet accomplishments of this fine naval ship.
For the next decade, the Jupiter served primarily support functions mostly doing cargo duty and that was the service it provided during World War I. The Jupiter did see many ports performing support functions throughout Europe before returning to Norfolk Virgina to start a new life. On December 12, 1919, the life of “the Jupiter” came to an end when it was decommissioned. But for the vessel itself, this was only the beginning of its long and honorable career as a US naval warship.
It was in Norfolk that the former USS Jupiter underwent a transformation. Not only did it take on the name USS Langley in honor of Samuel Pierpont Langley, the ship underwent a dramatic transformation into the very first prototype of a U.S. naval aircraft carrier. The final configuration of the overhauled naval vessel was compete in 1922. Her very first commander in this new assignment was Kenneth Whiting and it was he who proudly put the Langley to work helping the navy develop the Navy’s powerful aviation warfare capabilities that would make such a huge difference in winning the war against the axis powers that lay ahead.
As the first aircraft carrier ever in what would become the backbone of the American naval aircraft infrastructure, the Langley racked up plenty of firsts. October 17, 1922, was the first time a pilot took off from the deck of a ship. Just nine days later Lieutenant Commander Godfrey de Courcelles Chevalier was the first pilot to land on an aircraft carrier deck when he set down on the deck of the Langley.
The Langley continued to be a valuable part of the US naval arsenal even after it was converted to a seaplane trader in 1936. Then on February 27th, 1942, while supporting antisubmarine maneuvers during World War II, The Langley was struck by an onslaught of nine Japanese bombers, which tragically damaged the ship critically causing it to sink in the line of duty. But it is worthwhile to take some time as we have done here today to look back on an important part of our US naval history at a ship that through many evolutions served its country honorably and ushered in the era of the US Navy aircraft carrier. And that historic ship was the USS Langley.

“Like a giant bird of prey, the whaleship moved up the western coast of South America, zigging and zagging across a living sea of oil. For that was the Pacific Ocean in 1821, a living field of warm-blooded oil deposits known as sperm whales.
Harvesting sperm whales – the largest toothed whales in existence – was no easy matter. Six men would set out from the ship in a small boat, row up to their prey, harpoon it, then attempt to stab it to death with a lance. The sixty-ton creature could destroy the whaleboat with one flick of its tail, throwing the men into the cold ocean water, often miles from the ship.
Even though it is little remembered to-day, the sinking of the Nantucket-based whaleship, ‘Essex’ by an enraged sperm whale was one of the most well-known marine disasters of the ninteenth century. Nearly every child in America read about it in school. It was the event that inspired the climatic scene of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.”
These extracts from the preface of Nathaniel Philbrick’s powerful novel sets the scene for a story of immense human suffering and man’s indomitability in the face of incredible forces of nature.
When the massive whale rammed and sunk their ship, twenty men in three small boats endured unimaginable suffering, most of them dying and the flesh of their emaciated bodies keeping their shipmates alive.
Philbrick doesn’t cut corners. From beginning to end, the novel is saturated with fascinating descriptions of whaling, Nantucket history, survival at sea, the psycology of starvation, cannibalism and a scholarly study of the complexities of human behaviour.
With this true story of unspeakable horror, brilliantly researched and beautifully written, Nathaniel Philbrick has created a classic sea book of epic stature. One of the most horrifying stories in maritime history, a vivid and inspiring tale of an incredible struggle for survival in The Heart of the Sea.

A vacation in Peru is the definitive South American holiday of mystery. For Peru is a mystery; a holiday here will bring history alive, but the more you discover, the more mysterious it becomes. Perhaps this is because of the sheer scales involved.
Peru was home to early civilisations, of which plenty of evidence is visible today, more than 13,000 years ago! It is no surprise, therefore, that the deep gulf in time which separates us from the early Peruvians creates unfathomable mysteries and legends which reach from the gods to colossal empire of man, from ritual temples to alien civilisations from the stars!
It was the Norte Chico civilisation which has left more behind for us to see today, and your holiday here will undoubtedly let you explore the ruins of this mighty civilisation, which lived around 5,000 years ago – comparable with much of Egypt’s history. However, when anyone mentions Peru, one name springs to mind; one name which draws from our childhood well of whispered secrets and the magical unknown: the Incas.
The Inca civilisation was massive, conquering a huge portion of the globe, and resulting in the largest empire to exist for thousands of years – up until the Spanish conquests. This mighty civilisation has left an abundance of fascinating relics, temples, buildings, foundations, and structures which defy full understanding even today. Your vacation in Peru will allow you to explore these, and if you are fortunate enough to be able to acquire the luxury of a good guide, they will be able to help you uncover much of the background to the awe-inspiring shadows we see today.
Your history books from school days may well have covered the Incan empire, but pictures in dry books cannot even begin to compare to the breathtaking legacy of such sites as Machu Picchu. The Incan empire fell at the hands of the Spanish just before the Columbian period of America’s history, and much of the Inca temples, buildings and settlements were destroyed, their treasures plundered.
However, because Machu Picchu was built high up in the mountains, on a ledge that was not visible from lower down, it seems to have escaped, unscathed, as the Spanish never knew it existed and never found it. For this reason, it holds a particular fascination, since it was entirely forgotten about, and only re-discovered relatively recently: in 1911 to be exact. This ancient citadel of buildings, temples, tombs and rooms offers grandeur, beauty and mystery that will certainly be a feature of your holiday which will stay with you for a very long time.
However, your mystery history holiday in South America doesn’t end there! The adventures are only beginning. A vacation in Peru will feel more like an adventure, or a series of questions, than a planned and prepared vacation to a country born in the fires of modern times. As proof, make sure that you book a flight over the plains of Nazca. Although a visit on the ground will be astonishing, it is from the air that one can fully appreciate the ingenuity, scale and passion of the early Peruvian settlements.
The Nazca carvings, drawings or geoglyphs, as they are called, are astonishing works of art – stylised artistic representations of many different animals, including birds, monkeys, lizards and fish, as well as a number of lines, channels and mathematical shapes. These are what make a South American holiday truly a vacation of mystery. The most mysterious aspect of these, and one which will certainly amaze you as you look down on to these images, is their sheer scale.
These geoglyphs in the Nazca plains are huge, the largest being 270 meters long, and the area covered by these images is more than 500 square kilometers. The question will undoubtedly rise in your mind, as it has in so many of those who have come this way before – why are they this size? Clearly, they could not be seen from the ground, and were only discovered in 1939 because they can be seen only from the air; from the air and built during an era long before man was able to fly. If that is not a mystery then what is?
Were they works of art created solely to please the gods who look down on them? Were they an early astronomical observatory? Some have suggested that they were created, or viewed, by using early methods of flight, such as a balloon filled with air. If so, this is extraordinary, preceding any other form of flight by an astonishing chunk of any history book. Still others have seen them as evidence of interaction with a race from the stars… but you will have to make up your own mind, and help unravel this mystery.
The capital city of the Incas was Cusco, a modern and vibrant city which holds its heritage very close to its heart. The Temple of the Sun, and the Temple of the Virgins of the Sun are both well worth a visit, as is the magnificent cathedral of Santo Domingo. Many of the original Inca buildings are still standing – testament to the strength, design and construction of this once mighty empire.
A vacation in Peru is truly a South American holiday of mystery. Every day will be spent brushing shoulders with history, every corner you turn reveals another mystery. You will visit Peru with many questions; you will leave with many more.
If you are seeking a luxury Peru vacation, you can’t beat the personal service offered by Ultitude with top class accommodation, food and travel. Ultitude provides you with a luxury travel experience for a fabulous Peru vacation.

From the worldwide rendered lyrics of Samba and its smooth sister Bossa Nova, to the frenetic rhythms of Maracatú and Frevo, music has to be one of Brazil’s biggest cultural exports. If you’re planning a vacation or honeymoon in Brazil, it’s likely you’ll want to take advantage of at least one live performance during your visit to this vibrant country.
However, finding up to date listings information is not as easy as you might think, especially if like many, you don’t speak Portuguese. In a country where venues fall in and out of favour as often as the soap stars change their outfits, a guidebook just won’t cut it. There may be up to date websites and listings magazines published weekly, but as yet there is nothing which caters to the international tourist, that is to say, nothing in English.
So instead of wasting hours typing ‘querida por jovens e velhos, gente simples, moderninhos, morro e asfalto, subúrbio e zona sul’ into google translator and trying to work out which of the above you are, ask luxury travel specialists Dehouche to help you organise your holiday as they provide lucky clients travelling with them in Brazil all the up to date information on whats on in each location over the dates their around – brilliant! Whether it’s a Samba show or a Baile Funk that makes you want to put on your dancing shoes, Dehouche can tell you exactly what’s on offer for the nights you’ll be in each particular destination you choose to visit.
Dehouche are based in Brazil themselves and can tell you about their personal favourite places to hear new sounds, learn new moves and soak up the atmosphere of an altogether different culture, where dancing with abandon is by no means confined to the bedroom. That said, if you’d rather leave the samba to the sambistas and prefer to find somewhere you can grab a table and a beer and simply marvel at the innate talent of these people, Dehouche also know just the place. So if you want to spend less time trawling the internet and more time enjoying the best your chosen destination has to offer, your tailor made luxury holiday or Brazil Honeymoon with Dehouche is just a phone call away.
Let Dehouche arrange your luxury boutique hotel and enjoy a whole host of insider tips on where to truly escape from it all on your honeymoon.
Everybody, at one time or another, dreams of jetting down to some destination down in the Southern Hemisphere, if only for once in their lives. With the drop in worldwide travel lately, the expense of doing so has abated, too. These conditions can make scoring cheap tickets to Colombia or South America more possible than ever.
Why fly down to South America at all? With oil dropping in price all the time, jet fuel isn’t nearly as expensive as it once was, so the price of a tickets gone down. Also, airlines are looking to fill seats wherever possible, so you can probably put together a good trip to Brazil or Argentina, for example. And then, while you’re there, stop in and see Peru or Ecuador on top of it.
Cheap tickets are all over the place. As travel demand has dropped, the chances of being able to put together a nice travel package to all those countries down in South America are greater than ever. Just take a little care to plan the trip far enough out in advance, and you should be able to wing it pretty cheaply.
Planning is the activity to pay the most attention to. Going anywhere down in South America requires a bit of sensible planning. A lot of travel agencies exist to do most of the work for you, though. And if you don’t want to search for tickets yourself, they’ll be happy to do it for you. Of course, you pay them a commission for doing it.
Make maximum use of the Internet. Before we had such a thing as the Worldwide Web, it was harder to find out which airlines had cheap tickets to sell, but no longer. Today, you can get an inside view on the price of just about any ticket at any time going any place, including for all those destinations, like Colombia, down in South America.
Limber up to be as flexible as you can. Many times, the cheapest fares are gotten by flying very early in the travel day. “Red eye” flights out of a destination can be significantly less than when you travel later in the day. Keep that in mind when you’re booking a flight.
Tuesdays through Thursdays are the days to fly. A lot of empty seats are sitting in an airline’s midweek inventory. If you can arrange to travel on those days, you’ll be able to find a cheaper price on a ticket to most any destination. Remember; an empty seat makes an airline no money at all.
Plan everything out when it comes to traveling on the cheap. Almost any destination at the moment can be cheaper to get to. Plan wisely, and that South American or Colombian or Brazilian trip won’t end up costing you an arm or a leg. Remember that you’ve got the power to see far in advance what a ticket will cost you, which will then allow you to get the best, and cheapest, price.
An essential cornerstone of an amazing Honeymoon is fabulous food, from fresh local delicacies and great street food through to the finest no holds barred dining experiences and all in between. There should be the full range on offer, after all Honeymoons are about relaxing without a care in the world not foraging for something decent to eat. South American travel experts Dehouche are based across the continent with a head office in Rio de Janeiro they comprise of a mixed team of Brits, Americans, a Swede, an Italian and a fair few Brazilians and Argentineans all of whom apart from having a love for South America also share a deep uncompromising passion for good food.
The continent of South America has some of the finest produce in the world from the freshest of fish in Cartagena, Colombia to the juiciest steak from grasslands of Argentina, or from the spicy seafood of Bahia in Brazil to the new season Uruguayan lamb ingredients are key and in South America it’s all quite simply “best in class”!
The team at Dehouche are always trying to find new local specialities or off track foodie experiences to recommend to clients. All of their clients have access to their free concierge service exclusive to people travelling with Dehouche in South America. Clients can ring up an expert whilst travelling who is not only in their time zone and describe the sort of experience they are looking for. Invariably clients desire something genuine and in keeping with the local surroundings and so if in Minas Gerais in Brazil a state (just North of Rio) famed for its cuisine, here the Dehouche concierge might call on a friend who at the weekend roasts suckling pigs on his farm for the lucky few invitees (everyone always agrees the crackling and tender white meat is the best they’ve had).
Or If in Buenos Aires where the options are endless but perhaps clients on holiday fancy trying one of the underground “Puertas Cerradas” or “closed door” restaurants which have become very popular in Buenos Aires of late. These are restaurants not open to the public that tend to be operated from the chef’s own home with just 3 or 4 tables and very limited menus in terms of choice but what they serve up is often extremely good. They only release their location when a table is booked, they are quirky and original but very often turn out inspired dishes sometimes with fantastic wine pairings. The chefs themselves tend to be interesting characters passionate about what they do and so great fun to meet which one invariably does given the size of these hidden treats of culinary invention. If you want to try one out, let the concierge know and they’ll check which is the best one for the nights you’re in town.
Of course fine dining is not just important but an outright necessity on a Honeymoon in South America and Dehouche is no slouch when it comes to organising the perfect romantic experience the concierge tends to have the ear of the maître d’ to ensure clients have the right table overlooking the chef at work. It’s so important to get these things right so Honeymooners can just relax and enjoy the best food in South America in the knowledge that everything is being well thought of to ensure the best possible experience.
Let Dehouche arrange your luxury boutique hotel and enjoy a whole host of insider tips on where to truly escape from it all on your honeymoon.
