Easterly/westerly, английский
[1] coming from the east or west (wind, for example). [2] situated or moving toward the east or west (e.g., side, course, voyage, or current). even sailors can be confused by these contradictory conventions which call movement from east to west “easterly” if referring to a current, but “west- 105 easterly/westerly erly” if speaking of wind or the movement of a ship. it is therefore preferable to avoid ambiguity by using the suffix “-ward” for currents, since an eastward current moves toward the east, as does an easterly wind.
East india company, английский
The honourable east india company, often colloquially referred to as “john company,” was one of the earliest joint-stock companies. a royal charter, issued by elizabeth i on 31st december 1600, gave the company a monopoly on all trade in the east indies, which gradually evolved from a commercial venture to one that virtually ruled india, with a large bureaucracy, an army, and a navy known as the bombay marine. it was dissolved following the indian rebellion of 1857.
