  • Steamships at Hastings Pier
    Steamships at Hastings Pier Passengers aboard the Devonia in 1925, (HPC001.001) www.hastingspier.org.uk 1 Steamships at Hastings Pier The paddle steamer Carrick Castle was purchased second-hand in 1885 by the newly formed Hastings and St Leonards Passenger Steamship Co Ltd. She began trips from Hastings Pier in May 1885, the year this picture was painted, taking up to 360 passengers at a time. A Painting of Steamship Carrick Castle with Hastings Pier in background. By George Mears, 1885. This Painting is in Hastings Museum. Not all the ships that worked from Hastings Pier were paddle steamers. This is the Lady Brassey at the landing stage on eastern side of the Pier. She was built in 1886 in Newcastle for the Hastings and St Leonards Passenger Steamship Co, could carry 372 passengers, and had two steam driven propellers at the rear. But she didn’t last long because in 1890 she was sold on to Amazon Steamship Co Ltd in Paraguay. The Lady Brassey moored at Hastings Pier head. (HPC006.128) www.hastingspier.org.uk 2 Paddle steamers were the preferred craft because they could operate in shallow water, were highly manoeuvrable, and so were ideal for running the seaside excursions from piers which had become very popular by the 1880s. Between 1886 and 1890 the landing stages at Hastings Pier were extended twice, on the eastern and southern sides, so that up to four vessels could be moored at a time. The Lady Brassey was replaced by the Seagull, which was really a steam tug with a passenger certificate.

It was most successful. The accommodation and main centre were typical 1960s college space and served us well even INDUSTRIAL though the lecture room struggled to accommodate the numbers. The village was a delight – the ARCHAEOLOGY gardens of Cannington Court (now part of the college) were open to us and there were no less than five pubs to explore. The Conference Dinner was outside the capacity of the College so to Taunton Race NEWS 191 Course we went (regrettably not on a race night) and were served an excellent meal and at which the Winter 2019 AIA prizes were handed out (see page 19). The organization was faultless, well planned and well executed by members of the Somerset Industrial Archaeological Society led by Peter Daniel and Steve Miles. Steve established a precedent by Honorary President Prof Marilyn Palmer MBE bringing along his tribe in support – and support they did. Peter was also responsible for editing and leading the team that produced a revised version of the Somerset Gazetteer. Honorary Vice Presidents As usual John McGuiness had done a superb job as Conference Secretary and Steve Miles had Prof Angus Buchanan, Sir Neil Cossons OBE, Prof John Hume handled the bookings impeccably.

  • Museum of New Mexico. Catalog of the Borrowdale Collection
    5693 I A3 ; ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA PAPERS OF THE SCHOOL OF AMERICAN RESEARCH New SeriesNumber Three Catalog of the Borrowdale Collection NEW SERIES PAPER N<X 192 I The Borrowdale Collection By bequest of the late William M. Borrowdale of Mag- dalena, New Mexico, there came to the State Museum in Jan- uary, 1920, a large collection which the donor had gradually assembled from the time of his first arrival in New Mexico in the year 1880. The collection comprises many articles of archaeological and ethnological value, including old Indian pottery, arrow heads, beads and charms, basketry, etc., but the part of the collection in which Mr. Borrowdale took especial pride was that consisting of edged weapons and firearms. The latter show an almost complete historical series from the Revolu- tionary period down to the present, besides a number of weap- ons of even earlier periods. The Museum is especially fortunate to have had the help of Mr. P. S. Curtis, Jr., in preparing the catalog which is herewith presented. Mr. Curtis is a Yale graduate, headmas- ter of the boys' school at Los Alamos Ranch, and his expert knowledge on weapons has enabled him to make the catalog both accurate and readable. THE DIRECTOR Edged Weapons and Firearms IN The Borrowdale Collection. PART I--EDGED WEAPONS. 3147- Hand made ax, probably old Spanish. The handle is modern. 3148 Fire ax of the model used by early American volunteer firemen. 3149 -A cavalry sabre of the Empire of Napoleon I.

  • Piranha Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death by Jonathan Lawton
    Piranha Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death By Jonathan Lawton 2 FADE IN: EXT. - JUNGLE - DAY Two men, Fred and Sam, dressed in ragged explorer clothes and carrying half-full burlap bags, hack their way through a thick jungle with machetes. FRED We're lost. SAM No we're not. Look -- up there. He points ahead to a single avocado dangling from a tree. The two men furiously hack their way to the spot. Sam plucks it from the tree and carefully tucks it inside his burlap bag. FRED Let's head back, we're getting in too deep. SAM Wait! What's that sound? They both listen. We hear a waterfall cascading in the distance, and something else -- something odd -- the sound of women giggling. SAM Women. Laughing. FRED We'd better run. SAM No, don't be such a coward. Let's check it out. Sam presses onward through the jungle. Fred reluctantly follows. EXT. - WATERFALL - DAY A picturesque waterfall flows into a hidden lagoon. Playing in the waterfall, swimming nude in the lagoon, and (CONTINUED) CONTINUED: 3 sunbathing on its edge are half a dozen Extremely Beautiful, Red-haired Women With Deep Green Eyes. They are all laughing, giggling, and rubbing suntan lotion sensuously on each other. Sam and Fred, well hidden in the jungle foliage, spy on them. SAM (whispering) Look at them. They're beautiful. Aren't they the most sensuous, lovely, inviting women you've ever seen? FRED We'd better run. SAM Run?! Are you kidding? Look at them. FRED They're dangerous.

CURATOR OF THE TOWER ARMOURIES PREFACE DO not propose, in this work, to consider the history or develop- I ment of defensive armour, for this has been more or less fully discussed in works which deal with the subject from the historical side of the question. I have rather endeavoured to compile a work which will, in some measure, fill up a gap in the subject, by collecting all the records and references, especially in English documents, which relate to the actual making of armour and the regulations which con- trolled the Armourer and his Craft. At the same time it is impossible to discuss this branch of the subject without overlapping in some details the existing works on Arms and Armour, but such repetition has only been included because it bears directly on the making, selling, or wearing of armour. I have intentionally omitted all reference to the sword and other weapons of offence, for this would have unduly increased the size of the present work, and the subject is of such importance that it deserves a full consideration in a separate volume.
