On 11 January 1910 exactly one hundred years, founded the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Promotion of Science and Research in Berlin. Their goal was, as the name says, to support science and research of any kind.
was initiated by the then German Emperor Wilhelm II and Head of State King of Prussia (01/27/1859 - 04/06/1941). He said: ". ... under my protectorate, with a company to justify that is the establishment and maintenance of research institutes to Task "
the work at the Kaiser Wilhelm Society scholars have the opportunity to freely and impartially to devote to pure research and science. Their results were directly introduced into the production.
It does not wonder if, for example, exactly this time, the invention of the first German tide calculator by the Potsdam scientists Frederick Bold (12/05/1858 - 08/01/1940) falls. Was it the exact calculation of the tides have long represented one of the challenges the maritime to science. But allows a precisely calculated in advance Tide for any coastal location of the optimal planning of freight and passenger traffic to and from overseas.
Today is forecast to calculate the tide by means of an electronic Tide clock as for example by the Danish company Delite is made. Once set on a specific location, you can see at home in the interior, how the tides will behave.
Today this is interesting for example, Skipper, who are your boat from the North Sea. You can use a Tide clock in Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Hamburg or elsewhere at any time to see how to develop the Tidenverlauf. Because nothing is worse for the skipper, as if they arrive Friday evening and the only reason why the same can not put to sea, just because the tide is out.
