On This Day in History - July 14, 1941
July 14, 1941 #OTD World War II: The British troopship MV Georgic (Pictured) was bombed in the Gulf of Suez with the loss of 26 lives and beached. After being refloated and extensively rebuilt, she returned to service as a troopship in 1944, and continued in service for both for military and civilian uses until 1956, when she was withdrawn from service and scrapped. The MV Georgic was the last ship built for the White Star Line before its merger with Cunard Line. Built at Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, she was the running mate of MV Britannic. Like Britannic, Georgic was a motorship, and not a steamer, fitted with a diesel powerplant. At the time of her launch in 1931, she was the largest British motorship.

Last Voices from World War I Episode 1: Call to Arms It's a symphony of lost lives and burnt spirits sung by the young men of 1900s. Feel the taste of an ode to guns and roses.

The first usage of the Arabic numerals in Europe!
In this manuscript from 1202 you can see the very first time the Arabic numerals were used in Europe, in a work by Fibonacci. A century later, they had almost completely replaced the roman ones, and 800 years later we still use them every day! #culture #numbers #history #classics #knowledge (edited)
