Bahrain's History through a Digital Lens
It is of no surprise to people that the internet has changed the way we view things. Changed the way we look at things. But more importantly, it is now a place where the past is stored.
Lets face it, with Google News archive program (and more recently, with the launch of the British Newspaper Archive), the past is now being even more immortalized. Cyber space is the new dimension, it seems.
But a focus of this article I'd like to bring up is digitalizing Bahrain's modern history. Thanks to Google News archives, we can now see articles over 40 (and sometimes 70!) years old, about Bahrain's progressing history. I take an emphasis on Bahrain because it is my home country (But be sure to play around with it, with your own name!).
In this article, we shall look back at some of Bahrain's history in the 20th century. Some forgotten and some immortalized.
1. 542 Escape From Blazing Ship off Bahrain
April 8th 1961 - A British Passenger liner caught fire (an explosion was thought to have caused it) and British naval frigates were deployed to the scene. 542 people were rescued including 119 crew, and 440 passengers, most of them Indians, Pakistanis and some Britons and Americans.
The ship was en route to Bombay (now Mumbai) from the Iraqi port of Basra.
2. 28 Dead on US Frigate hit by Iraqi missile
Perhaps a day of infamy for Americans all over again. In May 17, 1987, the USS Stark (FFG-31) was struck by two Exocet missiles fired from an Iraqi Mirage F1 fighter plane.
This was the first time since the 60s,, where a US naval ship was successfully targeted and fatalities occurred. This happened a few kilometres off Bahrain's coast.
What was strange was that the frigate did not respond or fire back to the attack. This has been the centre of an ongoing controversy. Still, even nowadays, what happened to the ship is disputed. But whatever happened, it left 37 sailors dead and 21 injured.
If you'd like to know more, the Wikipedia page provides good information.
3. 92 on German Plane Hijacked to Bahrain:
Would you believe it! A hijacking and the landing spot ? Bahrain!
On October 14th, 1977: Gunmen, demanding the "release of all comrades in West German prisons" , hijacked a Lufthansa airliner with 92 passengers on it.
The plane, Lufthansa Flight 181, having refueled in Rome and Cyprus was now to venture to Bahrain. The hijacking was believed to be related to the kidnapping of the prominent West German industrialist, Hanns Martin Schleyer.
Lufthansa had said that the plane was filled with mostly West Germans returning from vacation in Mallorca. 11 Beauty queens are also believed to have been on board.
The plane would later travel to Dubai and onwards to Mogadishu where the plane's captain is killed. German special forces soon storm the plane at the airport. 3 Terrorists were killed, the hostages were secured. In retaliation, Hanns Martin was executed.
4. Bahrain declares independence, cuts ties with Britain
August 14, 1971 - A new country was born! The nation of Bahrain, with a population of 200,000 people, joined the ranks of the United Nations and the Arab League soon after.
After having trade ties and treaties with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland since the 19th century, Bahrain cut all ties with the British*
*(It was a rite of passage to cut all agreements made before independence, with the colonial power).
Bahrain decided to go it alone and not join the federation of the Trucial States (Present day United Arab Emirates), and "wanted to form a close relationship" with the much richer and influential state of Kuwait.

Then and Now: November
Every time a new month rolls around, it seems like there is no possible way that another month could have rolled around again already. But the hits just keep on coming. So now November is over and we head once again into the holly jolly Christmas time. Since we have a holiday in November, it makes you realize how much some things change while other things stay the same. Here are a few comparisons from last year to this year, then and now, November style.
The Who:
Every year Mr. Lovely’s father has a big feast at his farm. A pig is sacrificed (sorry buddy), the wine flows freely and good times are had by all. Last year, I took some photos but this year I slacked. However, I still managed to get photos of my friends at the farm each year.
2010:
Maaaah
2011:
Oink
The Where:
Before or after the November pig roast, I like to take a detour to visit the surrounding area. Last year, I had a great time in NYC, while this year, I enjoyed the harbors of Rhode Island (did you know that RI has roughly 400 miles of coastline?)
2010:
Brooklyn Bridge
2011:
Old Mills in Bristol
Last year, I also took a road trip from California to Iowa, to visit a friend of mine. I went through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Kansas. It was a beautiful drive, full of snow and gorgeous landscapes. This year, the only road trip I have taken is by foot! It’s been a few less miles, but much harder work! (You can learn more about my road trip here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5)
2010:
Driving through the Colorado Rockies
2011:
Running through the leaves in CA
The What:
Some things stay the same and here is the proof.
I always like to eat small bites of things.
2010:
Street food in Guangzhou, China
2011:
San Francisco Turkish appetizers at A La Turca
I tend to cook a lot in the fall, and I guess apples are always on the menu
2010:
French apple cake
2011:
After baking so many apple dishes, I finally discovered the joy of an apple corer
I always love fall colors!
2010:
NYC Central Park
2011:
Sierra Nevada Mountains, CA
So, it seems like November, for me, is a month where many things are pretty traditional. I may try a new apple dish or travel to a new location, but basically there are certain things I just can’t do without, every year! Perhaps it’s because a lot of activities revolve around the holiday?
What were you doing last November? What was different this year? What remains the same?
Holiday Decorating
This is the first time I have been in a home to actually decorate over the holidays. Last year, we put our house on the market and moved from California to Dallas so holiday decorating was out. I decided to keep it very simple with a garland over my fireplace mantel ($5 at Home Depot) with votive tealight holders placed throughout. There are so many great and affordable options out there when it comes to votive holders this year. Luckily, I had a gift card that allowed me to purchase 2 sets of #1.
1. Z Gallerie Votive Holders (Set of 3) $7.99
2. Anthropologie Votive Holders $8
3. Wisteria Votive Holders (Set of 6) $28
4. World Market Votive Holders (Set of 3) $8.97
5. West Elm Votive Holders $10
Unsung Sewing Patterns
Poking around on the internet, I always keep an eye open for new and interesting apron pictures or patterns. When I found Unsung Sewing Patterns I hit the jackpot! This website is all about the everyday ordinary patterns, the pajamas, nightgowns, aprons, uniforms, smocks and costumes. The patterns that often get overlooked by fashion enthusiasts. Did you catch that? She has aprons!! And very early apron patterns, at that. Here are a few favorites.
Her hair just makes me laugh! Very 1910s, a little Greek revival there. I like the window pane plaid it is made out of.
Very flowy, the back is very interesting too. I would put this at 1906ish.
I love the dusting hat with this one. Doesn't everyone need one?
Early 1920s. Bungalow apron? I haven't heard of one before. It looks like a predecessor of the 60s house dress.
