Reference excerpt

Grace A. Channon was a three-masted schooner built in E. Saginaw, Michigan by W.S. Ellinwood and Co. She was known as a "canaller" because she could transit the Welland Canal. She was named after the 10-year-old daughter of Henry Channon, one of the owners. Her cargo consisted usually of coal, wheat, and on occasion corn, lumber, and rod iron. On 2 August 1877, the Grace A. Channon was sailing to Chicago, Illinois when the steam barge Favorite smashed into her port side. Within 5 minutes, the Grace A. Channon sank. Co-owner Henry Graham was a passenger aboard the ship along with his two sons, nine-year-old Harry and seven-year-old Alexander. He had them by his side just before the crash. Henry and Harry threw themselves overboard and were saved by the vessel's yawl boat, but seven-year-old Alexander Graham became separated from his father and was sucked into the cabin by the rush of water before he could be rescued, and went down with the ship. Only one crewman was rescued from the water by the Favorite. The wreck of the Grace A. Channon was located in April 1985 by Kent Belrichard, William Kappelman and John Trumbo, and now sits, on an even keel, in 205 feet of water. The ships wheel, compass and port light are on display at the North Point Lighthouse in Milwaukee. The wreck is located at 42°55.77′N 087°36.12′W.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Grace A. Channon (shipwreck)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Grace A. Channon (shipwreck)

In research: Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1873 ships, Great Lakes freighters, Maritime incidents in August 1877, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Grace A. Channon (shipwreck) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
