Diskussion:Floreana
Anregung: Vielleicht sollte man erwähnen: Die "deutsche Besiedelung" wurde 1935 von Georges Simenon in seinem Roman "Ceux de la soif" verarbeitet (Dt. bei Diogenes: "... die da dürstet"); und zwar offenbar ziemlich authentisch. <kreuz des südens>
Dumme Anekdote[Quelltext bearbeiten]
Aus dem englischen Artikel:
When still known as Charles Island in 1819, the island was set alight by a sailor from the Nantucket whaling ship the Essex and remained a blackened wasteland for many years; "Wherever the fire raged neither trees, shrubbery, nor grass have since appeared".
und aus en:Essex (whaleship):
While hunting on Charles Island, boatstearer Thomas Chappel decided to set a fire as a prank. Being the height of the dry season, the fire soon burned out of control and quickly surrounded the hunters who were forced to run through the flames to escape. By the time the men returned to the Essex almost the entire island was burning. The crew were upset about the fire and Captain Pollard swore vengeance on whoever had set it. Fearing a whipping, it was to be some time before Chappel admitted to being the culprit. The next day saw the island still burning as the ship sailed for the offshore grounds and after a full day of sailing the fire was still visible on the horizon. Many years later Nickerson returned to Charles Island and found a black wasteland, "neither trees, shrubbery, nor grass have since appeared." It is believed the fire contributed to the extinction of the Floreana Tortoise and the Floreana Mockingbird.
Aua. Die "Essex" wurde dann von einem Wal versenkt. --84.164.101.2 00:53, 12. Apr. 2012 (CEST)
Färbermoos[Quelltext bearbeiten]
Orseille wurde gewöhnlich aus den Flechten Roccella, manchmal auch Lasallia, Lecanora und Variolaria gewonnen. Ist das wirklich der selbe Farbstoff? --Hellebore3 (Diskussion) 21:51, 31. Okt. 2021 (CET)
