Trafalgar Tavern
30 juli 2023, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
The Trafalgar Tavern was built in 1837, the year Queen Victoria ascended to the throne. Prior to the Trafalgar there was a small inn, The Old George, which served local fisherman. It was a popular public house due to its prominent position on the River Thames as well as being close to Greenwich Hospital, the Woolwich Dockyard and Westminster. In 1830 the owner of The Old George planned to expand the building but, unfortunately for him, the architect he engaged saw the potential in his plan and intentionally derailed the application to the commissioner. The architect then hatched a plan to take over ownership of the site.Meer informatie

Emirates air line and Uber Boat
12 september 2022, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We decided to take an Uber boat to our next destination because, why not? Before getting on the cable cars, we had hotdogs made for us by a really nice guy. The cable cars went up high and Evan was a little bit scared maybe. On the other side of the river, we watched people water ski at a water skiing park. Then we took the cable cars back and got lost in a giant circular mall that had no exit, and had to run back to catch the Uber boat back.Meer informatie

Wir sind in Greenwich ausgestiegen und zum Observatorium hochgelaufen. Hier ist der Null-Meridian festgelegt.

„Greenwich ist ein Stadtteil im Südosten Londons. Er liegt am Südufer der Themse im Stadtbezirk Royal Borough of Greenwich. Der Stadtteil war früher das Zentrum der britischen Marine, durch seine Sternwarte verläuft der historische Nullmeridian, und die Zeitzone Greenwich Mean Time ist nach ihm benannt.

Die Stadt war nach dem Bau des Palace of Placentia im frühen 15. Jahrhundert Residenzort mehrerer englischer Könige. Nach dem Bürgerkrieg verfiel der Palast. An dessen Stelle entstand das königliche Seefahrerkrankenhaus, das sich 1873 zum Royal Naval College wandelte. Seit 1998 wird es von der University of Greenwich und vom Trinity College of Music genutzt. Weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind das Royal Greenwich Observatory, der Greenwich Park und das National Maritime Museum. Seit 1997 gehört ein Teil von Greenwich zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.“Meer informatie

Greenwich è un antico villaggio che si affaccia sulla sponda sud del Tamigi, a pochi chilometri ad est del centro di Londra. Sulla collina che domina il villaggio sorge il Royal Observatory, lo storico osservatorio astronomico da cui passa il Prime Meridian e da cui si ammira uno dei panorami più belli di Londra. Greenwich fu sede di un palazzo reale e qui nacque il famoso re Enrico VIII. Questo luogo così ricco di storia è caratterizzato dalla bellissima architettura, dalla presenza del più antico parco reale della città e da uno dei mercatini più conosciuti. Certo è che la visita di Londra sarebbe incompleta senza una sosta a Greenwich, dichiarata dall'Unesco Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Umanità.Meer informatie

Our last day of the trip was in Greenwich England. Greenwich is a suburb of London.
We started out this morning walking on our own through the city to the Queen's House and the Old Royal Naval College. We specifically went there to see the Painted Hall. Designed in the early 18th century by  Sir James Thornhill, the Painted Hall features more than 3,700 square meters of Baroque walls and ceilings. These surfaces are covered in striking images depicting 200 figures including kings, queens and mythological creatures. We has an excellent tour guide that took us through all the paintings in the hall from the zodiac around the scene on the ceiling in the main hall to each of the noble characters portrayed on the back wall. You could spend weeks in there studying the history of each painting, the contents and the historical significance of it all.
We then walked through the gardens which are a very welcome sight since they are in the city and a huge open space for everyone to enjoy. There is a college there and people all around enjoying the sunshine, blue skies, grass, trees and nature. It was a great walk and you would not think that you are in such a large city.
We then had a bite of fish and chips and pint of beer at a local pub, then more walking to the Royal Observatory where they studied the stars in ancient times. The only way that sailors could navigate back then was by the stars and understanding them. This is also the place of the prime meridian and the location of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) where all the time zones are based on.
We then walked some more and found another pub for fish and chips and a pint before heading back to the ship.
Our luggage is all packed, and ready to go for our trip home early tomorrow morning...Meer informatie

Royal Greenwich Observatory
4 februari, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Das Royal Greenwich Observatory, das als Arbeitsplatz für den Astronomer Royal, den königlichen Hofastronomen, erbaut wurde, lag ursprünglich auf einem Hügel im Greenwich Park in Greenwich, London, von wo aus man die Themse sehen kann. Das Observatorium, genaugenommen der Mittelpunkt des Teleskops im Observatorium, wurde als Bezug für die Festlegung des Nullmeridians (Meridian von Greenwich) und somit der Längengrade, wie auch die Greenwich Mean Time (mittlere Ortszeit am Greenwich-Meridian), genutzt. Er wird im Innenhof als horizontale Meridianlinie durch einen Messingstreifen markiert.

Das Observatorium wurde am 22. Juni 1675 von König Karl II. von England gegründet und der Bau wurde von John Flamsteed in Auftrag gegeben. Das Flamsteed House (1675–76), der ursprüngliche Teil des Observatoriums, wurde von Sir Christopher Wren entworfen und auf den Fundamenten einer Burg errichtet. Es ist nach dem Observatorium in Paris das zweitälteste seiner Art in Europa.

Im Jahre 1948 zog das Royal Greenwich Observatory nach Herstmonceux, nahe Hailsham in East Sussex, um klarere Nächte bei der Beobachtung zu haben. Das Isaac Newton Telescope wurde dort 1967 gebaut, wurde aber 1979 in das Roque-de-los-Muchachos-Observatorium auf La Palma, Spanien gebracht. 1990 zog das Royal Greenwich Observatory erneut um, diesmal nach Cambridge. Nach einer Entscheidung des Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council wurde es 1998 geschlossen. Das HM Nautical Almanac Office wurde nach der Schließung ins Rutherford Appleton Laboratory verlegt. Andere Forschungsarbeiten wurden ins UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh gebracht.

Seit 1995 befinden sich das internationale Studienzentrum der Queen’s University, Kingston, Kanada und das Observatory Science Centre in Herstmonceux Castle.Meer informatie

Day 25: Royal Observatory Greenwich
30 december 2023, Engeland
This was the highlight of our trip in Greenwich. We always love to learn more about Time zones and the Prime Meridian. We could step on the Prime Meridian, a geographical reference line that passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The Museums are interesting to visit. A funny story that we missed to record the red ball dropping ceremony happening every 1pm every day since 1800s. We were having lunch at the park bench inside the observatory. We saw the ball was about to drop. But Chris said that it would happen every hour. So we thought we had another chance to record it. But, obviously we missed our chance. Oh well, at least we had got a chance to see it with our eyes😅Meer informatie
