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as a troopship in 1944, and continued in service for both for military and civilian uses until 1956, when she was withdrawn from service and scrapped.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.

"If you were to give reparations to everyone whose ancestors had been slaves, I suspect that you would have to give reparations to more than half the entire population of the globe. Slavery was not confined to one set of races." Thomas Sowell

What craftsmanship, absolutely stunning and bad ass. When people thought europeans living in the dark ages had no skill or talent.

Saladin Another great leader of his time, the 3rd crusade is one of my favourite pieces of history.
Another leader I have great respect for. Even for a man of war, he was known to show great respect to hid opposition also other religious groups and the poor. He was also a great commander and warrior. Another interesting character.
