    The Royal Canadian Navy and Operation Torch, 1942-19431

    "A USEFUL LOT, THESE CANADIAN SHIPS:" THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY AND OPERATION TORCH, 1942-19431 Shawn Cafferky Like other amphibious animals we must come occasionally on shore: but the water is more properly our element, and in it...as we find our greatest security, so exert our greatest force. Bolingbroke, Idea of a Patriot King (1749) The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) corvettes that supported the Allied landings in North Africa beginning in November 1942 achieved substantial success. This little-known story is important, for the Canadian warships gave outstanding service at a time when the fortunes of the main RCN escort forces in the north Atlantic had dropped to their nadir. Problems resulting from overexpansion and overcommitment had, as has been fully documented in recent literature, raised grave doubts about the efficiency of Canadian escorts.2 What has yet to be properly acknowledged was that the operations of RCN ships in the Mediterranean and adjacent eastern Atlantic areas during these same months of crisis demonstrated that given an opportunity Canadian escorts could match the best. On 25 July 1942, after months of high-level discussions concerning the strategic direction of the war, Allied leaders agreed to invade North Africa in a campaign named Operation Torch, rather than immediately opening a second front in Europe. On 27 August 1942 the First Sea Lord signalled Vice-Admiral P.W. Nelles, Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), "that Admiral Cunningham's [Naval Commander Expeditionary Force] Chief of Staff, Commodore R.M. Dick, would be visiting him in Ottawa with some information."3 The material proved to be an outline of Operation Torch, along with a request that the RCN provide escorts for the operation.

  • Home Ports and Fast Sailing Ships: Maritime Settlement and Seaborne Mobility in Forming the Comparative Wests William M

    Home Ports and Fast Sailing Ships: Maritime Settlement and Seaborne Mobility in Forming the Comparative Wests William M

    Home Ports and Fast Sailing Ships: Maritime Settlement and Seaborne Mobility in Forming the Comparative Wests William M. Taylor ABSTRACT: The contribution of the sea and seafaring to the construction of modernity has recently been reappraised. Opposing narratives of the geographical (particularly terrestrial) and temporal co- ordinates of modernity’s progress, the fluidity of “ocean-space,” and “maritime criticism” have been proposed to challenge conventional readings of established archives and question consensual under- standings of the fundamental territoriality, geographic enlargement, and progressive development of nation-states. This essay questions how this reappraisal of the sea may be relevant to the study of the “comparative Wests.” Specifically, it considers how aesthetic and ethical possibilities for maritime crit- icism may reveal gaps or omissions in the historiography of the neo-European settlement and nine- teenth-century territorial expansion of the United States and Australia. My primary focus is Lewis Mumford’s writing on American culture, architecture, and design. I question how Mumford’s appropriation of nineteenth-century aesthetic criticism, particularly writing extolling the virtues of colonial American ships and seafaring, may be indicative of tensions at work between opposing organic and globalized, geographically closed and unbounded, moral and econom- ic perspectives on a nation’s progress, development, and growth—between a critical emphasis on “roots” of culture and “routes” of seaborne exchange. If it is true, as Philip Fisher asserts, that the story of American society is largely a history of the nation’s transport, then what stories do the systems and technology of seaborne mobility tell us? SAILING SHIPS (ALONG WITH SEAFARING AND NAVIGATIONAL PRACTICES) were one princi- pal means whereby neo-European settlement was established in the multiple “Wests” imagined and occupied by colonialists and, as such, were engaged in the negotiation of difference.

    Marine Steam Engine - Wikipedia Page 1 of 14

    Marine steam engine - Wikipedia Page 1 of 14 Marine steam engine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A marine steam engine is a steam engine that is used to power a ship or boat. This article deals mainly with marine steam engines of the reciprocating type, which were in use from the inception of the steamboat in the early 19th century to their last years of large-scale manufacture during World War II. Reciprocating steam engines were progressively replaced in marine applications during the 20th century by steam turbines and marine diesel engines.

The steam engine improvements brought forth by James Watt in the later half of the 18th century greatly improved steam engine efficiency and allowed more compact engine arrangements. Successful adaptation of the steam engine to marine applications in England would have to wait until almost a century later after Newcomen, when Scottish engineer William Symington built the world's "first practical steamboat", the Charlotte Dundas, in 1802.[1] In 1807, the American Robert Fulton built the world's first commercially successful steamboat, simply known as the North River Steamboat, and powered by a Watt engine.
