  • Freedom by Reaching the Wooden World: American Slaves and the British Navy During the War of 1812
    Freedom by Reaching the Wooden World: American Slaves and the British Navy during the War of 1812. Thomas Malcomson Les noirs américains qui ont échappé à l'esclavage pendant la guerre de 1812 l'ont fait en fuyant vers les navires de la marine britannique. Les historiens ont débattu de l'origine causale au sein de cette histoire, en la plaçant soit entièrement dans les mains des esclaves fugitifs ou les Britanniques. L'historiographie a mis l'accent sur l'expérience des réfugiés dans leur lieu de réinstallation définitive. Cet article réexamine la question des causes et se concentre sur la période comprise entre le premier contact des noirs américains qui ont fuit l'esclavage et la marine britannique, et le départ définitif des ex-esclaves avec les Britanniques à la fin de la guerre. L'utilisation des anciens esclaves par les Britanniques contre les Américains en tant que guides, espions, troupes armées et marins est examinée. Les variations locales en l'interaction entre les esclaves fugitifs et les Britanniques à travers le théâtre de la guerre, de la Chesapeake à la Nouvelle-Orléans, sont mises en évidence. As HMS Victorious lay at anchor in Lynnhaven Bay, off Norfolk, in the early morning hours of 10 March 1813, a boat approached from the Chesapeake shore.1 Its occupants, nine American Black men drew the attention of the sailors in the guard boat circling the 74 gun ship. The men were runaway slaves. After a cautious inspection, the guard boat’s crew towed them to the Victorious where the nine Black men climbed up the ship’s side and entered freedom.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 237 – JULY 2014 EDITORIAL Many thanks to Dave Manley and everyone else who contributed to the Naval Wargames weekend at Explosion Museum. Many different themes from ancient Rome, Battle of Trafalgar, through American Civil War, to a hypothetical Chile / Argentina clash in 1978 over The Beagle Channel. Fun was had by all but I feel numbers were down on last year. I know of two people who would have been there if their health had been a bit better. World Cup Football and the sunny weather may have had an effect on turnout? You Missed the Inshore Squadron and their impressive models – I stopped counting them when I reached 60. In addition to Rob Morgan’s Quiz – think about this one. What was HMS PALLAS doing, flying kites in 1806? I don’t know if anyone caught the TV programme, “Ross Kemp in Search of Pirates”? An interesting documentary – showing life on board HMS NORTHUMBERLAND off the coast of Somalia. Somewhere in the World, the Sun is over the Yardarm. Norman Bell VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE July 2014 Chairman: Stuart Barnes-Watson Stuart Barnes-Watson Chairman Simon Stokes Membership Secretary & Treasurer Norman Bell Editor ‘All Guns Blazing’ Dave Manley Editor ‘Battlefleet’ As promised, an update on all things naval, following my visit to NZ. Next up, Fiji. At first glance, not a likely country for naval related sites. However, Fiji was hugely important in the Allied build up in the Pacific, and as such defences were being built on the main island as early as 1940 with the purpose of protecting the main port and capital of Suva in the East, and Nadi its flying boat base and secondary port.

  • Bedhampton and Havant and the Royal Navy

National Maritime Museum, London. Steve Jones 023 9247 3326 March 2017 £6 The Ça Ira being attacked by the Agamemnon and Inconstant, 13 March 1795. Havant History Booklet No. 54 View, comment, and order all booklets at: hhbkt.com Edited by Ralph Cousins 2 Bedhampton, Havant and the Royal Navy (and the Lost Admirals of Leigh Park) Steve Jones Havant, a small coastal town in its own right, has always had close connections with the navy, and its larger neighbour Portsmouth, the home of the Senior Service. From supplying Portsmouth and the navy with cider in the 17th and early 18th centuries through to being the home of several naval establishments during the Second World War, Havant has always played its part in supporting the navy. Even today Portsmouth dockyard, though not with the volume it once was, is a leading employer to the people of the Havant area. With local hi-tec firms such as Lockheed Martin Havant still plays its part in supporting the navy. Because of its close proximity to Portsmouth it is not surprising that many a naval officer chose Havant and its neighbourhood for their homes. Men of the calibre of Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommaney of Warblington House, Emsworth Road, Admiral Sir James Stirling of Belmont Park, Bedhampton, and Vice-Admiral Charles Norcock of Sherwood, East Street, have all at one time chosen to live in Havant.

  • The Royal Navy and the Caribbean, 1756 – 1815
    Circuits of Knowledge: The Royal Navy and the Caribbean, 1756 – 1815 Aims and objectives : This project explores the ways in which officers, seamen and others connected to the Royal Navy represented and sought to make sense of the societies and places that they encountered in the course of their duty. It focuses on one particular arena of naval involvement, the British Caribbean, examining the period between the outbreak of the Seven Years War in 1756 and the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. This period was characterised by warfare and revolutionary upheaval in Europe, North America and the Caribbean. As Michael Duffy has demonstrated, during a prolonged and barely broken period of conflict between Britain and France, the Caribbean was a zone of vital strategic and economic importance for both sides, and many ships and thousands of personnel were deployed to the region as part of the struggle for global mastery (Duffy 1987). Previous studies of the Royal Navy in the Caribbean during this period have tended to focus on operational matters and naval engagements. By contrast, this project aims to shed light on the social and cultural aspects of the Royal Navy’s encounter with the Caribbean region. For a significant part of their time in the area, naval officers and seamen were observers and recorders of the societies in which they moved. Royal Navy personnel wrote about the Caribbean and they also mapped and drew it, resulting in a large number of letters, journals, books, charts, sketches, watercolours, caricatures and prints that survive from this period. In these different ways, the Royal Navy contributed significantly to an increasing body of European knowledge relating to the Caribbean, an area that was still relatively unknown to European readers at the beginning of the period of this study.

  • The Feudal Land Divisions of East Stirlingshire
    Calatria Spring 1994 No. 6 The Feudal Land Divisions of East Stirlingshire John Reid When David I returned from England to claim his crown he brought with him to Scotland a retinue of Anglo-Norman knights. He, like them, had been raised at the English court. Together, they were products of the new style of feudalism which emerged in the twelfth century. With them they brought the attitudes and expectations which were to encourage the adoption of that form of the feudal order to Scotland where, although it remained to some degree recognisably different from that in England, it evolved as essentially that which pertained throughout late mediaeval Europe. The Parishes of East Stirlingshire Falkirk Local History Society Page 1 Calatria Spring 1994 No. 6 It was a force which was to dominate Scottish society from that time until the eighteenth century when a series of revolutionary events; civil, agricultural and industrial, caused a diminuation of feudal power. It was the Jacobite risings which led to the forfeiture of many of the old families in whose hands these hereditary powers had rested, while the later upheavals of that century saw a massive movement of the people from the land with, consequently, a reduction in the authority of the land owners. Feudalism was a product of its time. It was born of the need for kings to retain their realms through military strength. They required the support of men trained in the most effective skills of warfare. These men, the king’s vassals, also required followers. It was, in effect, a power pyramid.

  • At Water's Edge: Britain, Napoleon, and the World, 1793-1815
    AT WATER’S EDGE: BRITAIN, NAPOLEON, AND THE WORLD, 1793-1815 ______________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ______________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ______________________________________________________________________________ by Christopher T. Golding May 2017 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin, Advisory Chair, Department of History Dr. Travis Glasson, Department of History Dr. Rita Krueger, Department of History Dr. Jeremy Black, External Member, University of Exeter (UK) © Copyright 2017 by Christopher T. Golding All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the influence of late eighteenth-century British imperial and global paradigms of thought on the formation of British policy and strategy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It argues that British imperial interests exerted a consistent influence on British strategic decision making through the personal advocacy of political leaders, institutional memory within the British government, and in the form of a traditional strain of a widely-embraced British imperial-maritime ideology that became more vehement as the conflict progressed. The work can be broken into two basic sections. The first section focuses on the formation of strategy within the British government of William Pitt the Younger during the French Revolutionary Wars from the declaration of war in February 1793 until early 1801. During this phase of the Anglo-French conflict, British ministers struggled to come to terms with the nature of the threat posed by revolutionary ideology in France, and lacked strategic consistency due to acute cabinet-level debates over continental versus imperial strategies. The latter half of the work assesses Britain’s response to the challenges presented by Napoleonic France.

TAYLOR, CD, RCN 1956 Revised 1961 - - 3 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION There is a wealth of fascinating lore behind many of the routine practices of our naval profession of which many serving officers and men are not aware, or at least do not appreciate. In this small volume are recorded some of the more interesting of the nautical customs and traditions - their origin, development and present form. It is hoped that this book will in some way help to check the present tendency noted in civilian circles and in the press to condemn our alleged unswerving allegiance to "the traditions of Nelson's day". A custom that has no apparent basis is quite meaningless and therefore must be reluctantly observed. If these pages should serve to enlighten, to make at least some of the naval customs and traditions meaningful, they will amply have served their purpose. In the Queen's Regulations and Admiralty Instructions is an order that "...every officer...shall... in all respects conform himself to the established customs and practices of Her Majesty's Service at Sea".
