How did ships in Olden Days Travel?

At some intermediate time (1800's) they used steam tugs to move them to and from docks, and sail when under way. Often, explorers would not take their big ships near shore but instead send longboats ashore or up narrow channels, which was safer and easier in uncharted waters - apart from being hard to maneuver the ship, depth soundings were by weighted line.

Should I accept 8,000 dollars before tax on this used car?

Yesterday we went into a dealership and the salesman insisted that he bought the car for 8,500. He showed us a sheet from kelly Blue book saying its WORTH is 8,500. I realized this and starting arguing with the salesman. Me being only 15, he said things such as, "Why am I arguing with a stupid 15 year old?" Then I told him to show us the invoice because he has nothing to hide since they bought it for 8,500, anyway. He said he'd go bankrupt if they showed all the customers the invoice. So we left using the walk out technique. He goes and tells the manager that we are leaving, and we saw that didn't want us walking out (we have good credit). However, he let us go. Today, though, the salesman calls and offers 8,000 for the car. That's 500 below what he "Put into it". Obviously, there is still some room to negotiate. Any thoughts?

Should I contemplate moving to California when i'm out of High School?

well to answer your last question the economy is just as bad here (in california) at about 9% unemployment total through out the state ,the university system here is jacking up tuition rates almost making it impossible to go to college here ,but the only good thing we got going out here is the weather the winters can be i guess just a little better than up there in the north west ,the summers (depending on where your at ) can get rough and into triple digits ,but if you live in the valley (like i do ) your about 2 hours from the coast and the mountains (if you like camping and skiing ) .bu other than that california is a good state.

How to deal with strict parents when you are 25?

let's say you can't get a job and are bankrupt, with education debt up the wazoo. so moving out isn't an option. and they are so strict, that they don't even let you sleep over your bf's place, they dont let him come over, and your curfew is midnight.
