boats

In the 19th century, did state governments own boats

Yes, I saw it in my book, "Encyclopedia of Ships."

You know when you are on vacation in the Caribbean and different companies offer snorkeling trips? What types of boats are generally used to take people out on these trips? Are there public companies that run these businesses or are they small private companies that own just one boat?

They vary in size from Yacht size to small 18 footers,or Catamarans which are very fairly new in terms of boating luxury even though the techno,has been a round for some time,many of these operations are base in PR Virgin islands and a few other place were tours are offered like Cayman islands and Belize,all because of the abundance of reefs and its natural aquatic environ.
Many of these { boating } businesses are privately owned and operated if not by one person are a group of individuals in in the tourist trade through third parties who act behalf of a particular hotel chain.
None to my knowledge are indeed publicly owned either by stock exchange are Gov.
Even Cruise ships offer tours as for them am not sure if they are owned by share holder { which is highly possible}.

Just to give you an example take a look at these sites and see the variety of excursions,and also you'll notice that there boat varies.

Could a boats radio communicate with a small aircraft like a Cessna 172, and also vice versa. Could an aircraft radio communicate with a boat if tuned to the correct frequency. The example boat would be something like a Fairline Targa 47.

The normal aviation radio frequencies used for two-way voice communication are in the VHF range from 108 to 136 MHz. In the USA, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designates the following frequencies for communication between aircraft and ships... These frequencies are not normally available on a standard aircraft radio, so you would need a specially made radio to legally communicate between airplanes and ships.

156.300 MHz Aircraft-to-Ship - Safety
156.400 MHz Aircraft-to-Ship - Commercial
156.425 MHz Aircraft-to-Ship - Non-Commercial
156.450 MHz Aircraft-to-Ship - Commercial
156.625 MHz Aircraft-to-Ship - Non-Commercial
156.690 MHz Aircraft-to-Ship - Commercial

I have a Nikko America Wave Buster boat. I want to race with my neighbor. We both have the same frequencies on our boats so racing is impossible.

Look for where the may be place or slot for the crystal that determines frequency. You should be able to pull it out and add a new one. There may be also a switch that can help you change frequencies. Look aat your remote as well.

I tried the Nikko website but it's down.

You may have bad luck and the frequency is fixed. But not really likely since most of these R/C toys are meant to raced with a group.

I have really no experience in playing guitar, but I want to play the song Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk for my school talent show. I want to know how long it'll take to learn, and if it'll be hard.
