The Douro: a transatlantic ship
The Douro was a steamship built in 1865 in Scotland. As a cargo ship of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. (RMS), it could accommodate 313 passengers and a crew of 80, but was primarily intended to carry mail and newspapers. Its hold was also often filled with goods and precious cargoes of gold and diamonds.
This ocean liner had undertaken no less than 61 voyages for 17 years. It always sailed the South Atlantic seas and served the route between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Southampton, UK. It transited through Portugal, hence its name, borrowed from the Iberian river that links Spain to Porto. It never completed its 62nd voyage, as it sank on the last leg of its journey.
1rst April 1882: the night of the tragedy
The ship left the port of Lisbon 1.5 hours late on 31rst March. To make up for the undue delay, it sailed at full speed towards England. On the evening of the 1st, on a full moon night, the Douro passed off Cape Finisterre.
The fourth officer of the ship spotted another ship about 3.7 km away. Thinking that the sailor on the bridge had also noticed him, he did not consider it necessary to inform him. What a critical error! At around 10.45 PM, the RMS Douro was hit on its starboard side by the Spanish Yrurac Bat. Within 30 minutes, the boats sank. The passengers were saved in extremis, but six members of the Douro’s crew died, including the captain and the first officer, who let themselves be carried away with their ship and the gold cargo. The survivors, rescued by the British steamer Hidalgo, were taken to La Coruña in Spain.

Zašto korisnici nadmašuju same sebe?
Kada se postavi ponuda, to je maksimalni iznos koji je korisnik spreman ponuditi za proizvod. Naš sustav će zatim automatski licitirati u ime tog korisnika, postupno povećavajući licitaciju kako bi zadržao svoju poziciju ponuditelja najviše, do navedenog maksimuma.
Kada postoji ikona koja označava "Automatsku ponudu", to znači da naš sustav aktivno daje ponude za korisnika na temelju njihove maksimalne ponude. Ovo se može činiti kao da korisnici sami sebe nadmašuju, ali to je jednostavno rezultat ažuriranja ponude sustava kako bi odražavala maksimalno ograničenje korisnika.
