It starts in the South Pacific nation of Samoa, which is always the first country to welcome in the New Year. Just 101 miles to the east is American Samoa, which will have to wait for an entire day to pass, before they can celebrate the New Year in…. Around the globe there are 39 different local time zones, which cause this phenomenon to take place over a period of 26 hours, before everyone on Earth enters the New Year. The year of 2018 is first celebrated at 5 a.m. on December 31, 2017, in Samoa and on Christmas Island in Kiribati. I have actually been on that small island, located in the figurative center of the largest ocean in the world. Only fifteen minutes later, the New Year arrives on Chatham Island in New Zealand. It isn’t until 8 a.m. that larger land masses are affected and then by 9 a.m., much of Australia and parts of Russia can ring in the New Year. In rapid succession North & South Korea, China and the Philippines fall to the moving clock. By noon Indonesia, Thailand and 10 more countries enter into the New Year. Having been in Malaysia and Thailand, I personally know what it’s like, hanging from your heels, on the opposite side of the Earth from where we are now. The ever moving midnight hour visits our troops in Afghanistan, at 2:30 p.m. and washes over Europe, starting at 4 p.m. It continues to flow over the continent until leaving the United Kingdom three hours later. Entering the Atlantic Ocean it does not reappear in America, until it reaches parts of Brazil at 9 p.m. Midnight finally comes to us on the east coast of North America where we celebrate the New Year with more gusto than anywhere else on Earth. In the United States and Canada we celebrate for three hours, before handing the baton over to Alaska, Hawaii and the United States owned Pacific Islands. By 7 a.m. the last of the American Islands in the Pacific Ocean can finally herald in 1918. I have heard it said that if you had the resources and time, you could fly from Sydney to Honolulu and celebrate the New Year twice. I can imagine that this little bit of fun could be quite expensive!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/captain-hank-bracker-seawater-one/for-us-on-the-east-coast-of-the-united-states-the-systematic-change/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/292/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_atlantic-ocean_for-us-on-the-east-coast-of-the-united-s_2004571.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/292/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_atlantic-ocean_for-us-on-the-east-coast-of-the-united-s_2004571.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/292/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_atlantic-ocean_for-us-on-the-east-coast-of-the-united-s_2004571.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“For us on the East Coast of the United States the systematic change in the calendar begins on December 31…” — Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Eighty years ago on July 2, 1937 Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, disappeared while attempting to circumnavigate the world in a Lockheed Model 10- Electra. Her expedition, sponsored by Purdue University, a public research university located in West Lafayette, Indiana, was brought to an end when this daring woman aviator and her navigator and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared near Howland Island in the central part of the Pacific Ocean. Since that time it was generally assumed that she had crashed at sea and simply disappeared beneath the waves of an unforgiving ocean. All the speculation ended on Sunday July 9, 2017 when Shawn Henry, a former executive assistant director for the FBI, brought world attention on the “History Channel” to a photograph that apparently shows Earhart and Noona on the dock of Jaluit Atoll, overlooking the SS Kaoshu towing a barge, with what looks like the Electra they had been flying. The intensive research and analysis that Shawn Henry and his team conducted presents compelling evidence and leaves no doubt but that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan had survived the crash. The team’s research also presents evidence that Amelia Earhart was held as a prisoner of war on the island of Saipan by the Japanese and died while in their custody.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/captain-hank-bracker-seawater-one/eighty-years-ago-on-july-2-1937-amelia-earhart-the-first-female/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/aeb/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_american-history_eighty-years-ago-on-july-2-1937-amelia-e_2786452.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/aeb/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_american-history_eighty-years-ago-on-july-2-1937-amelia-e_2786452.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/aeb/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_american-history_eighty-years-ago-on-july-2-1937-amelia-e_2786452.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Eighty years ago on July 2, 1937 Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic…” — Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/atlantic-ocean/captain-hank-bracker-seawater-one/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/atlantic-ocean/captain-hank-bracker-seawater-one/", "name": "Atlantic ocean Quotes by Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/atlantic-ocean/captain-hank-bracker-seawater-one/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/292/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_atlantic-ocean_for-us-on-the-east-coast-of-the-united-s_2004571.jpg" }, "description": "2 Atlantic ocean quotes by Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One.
