Lemon, Fullerton, CA. 92832 USA 76 is an American International America’s Cup Class yacht. It was used by the Oracle BMW Racing Officers meeting –Wed., June 3, Team in their preparations to challenge for the 2003 2015, 7 PM, Bob Beech’s house, America’s Cup held in Auckland, New Zealand. ORACLE 130 Clove Pl., Brea, CA. 92821 – would go through to the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series (714) 529-1481. final and come up against the formidable Team Alinghi from Switzerland. Alinghi, ultimately won the Cup after an impressive performance. In September 2003, ORACLE arranged for a “rematch” to be held against Alinghi in San Francisco. Both pro and owner driver 2 series’ scheduled, it was an opportunity to showcase America’s Cup sailing on the Bay, and allow the Golden Gate Yacht Club representatives a chance to regain pride after their defeat in Auckland. Again the competition was tough, especially in the windy confines of San Francisco’s city front. ORACLE and USA 76, with a little more time to prepare and local honor at stake, won both events. USA 76 is now berthed at Pier 39, and has been in charter operation since June 2011. Typical parameters of an IACC yacht were: length: 82 ft; weight: 24 tons; height of the mast: 115 ft; weight of the bulb: 19 tons; sail surface area: 389 sq. yd upwind, 900 sq. yd downwind; crew: 17+ “18th man”. Considering the model is 336” long that yields a scale of approximately 1:27. Hank’s model is Oracle BMW USA 76 is built from a Kyosho kit. It is equipped with a 2.4 GHz R/C system for control of sail trim and rudder. He noted that his experience in sailing models began early as a boy in Holland. His fist efforts included a walnut shell boat, a wooden shoe and a peapod (rather like a No. 10 mail envelope propped apart in the middle). His is interested in the Mayflower of 1620 noting that many Dutch were aboard on the initial trip and that they were initially headed for New Amsterdam, now New York. Monterey Fishing Boats – David Okamura The Monterey Clipper has long been considered part of the local fishing fleet to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Monterey Bay Area and east to the Sacramento delta. Italians introduced the original hull design into the area in the late 1860’s. The design came from Genoese lateen-rigged sailboats, known as silenas, and then later referred to as San Francisco feluccas. The Monterey clipper came into being with industrialization around 1925. The boat was improved with a small single-cylinder gasoline engine and amenities such that, it could engage in multiple types of fishing and spend several days at sea. All total, around this period, about 500 of the small fishing boats were based in San Francisco. Companies like the Beviaqua yard and the Genoa Boat Works were instrumental in adding to the fleet. By the 1930’s, the local sardine industry came alive with more canneries built in San Francisco and Monterey. The Monterey Clipper was key in the development of this industry. This continued until the early 1950’s “when the production and the exploitation of the fishery peaked.” David is working on his fleet of Monterey fishermen. When finished, the boats will be moored in a 1:48 scale harbor scene depicting a North-Central Coast of California fishing village circa 1890 to 1930. This harbor scene will be one module in a 1:48 narrow gauge railroad. David started with three resin hulls supplied by the fellow model railroader Dennis 3 Ivison. Since the hulls are all molded the same and they are all to be moored essentially together, David wanted to have them more properly represent the typical diversity of the Monterey Fisherman. So the three hulls now have cardstock mock-ups of different arrangements of deckhouses, hatches, engine exhaust stacks and fishing gear. David also brought in a vintage paper model of an unknown liner. He reports: I did a little more research after the SMA meeting, and discovered that my unidentified vintage paper model is the MS Berlin (1955-66), formerly the MS Gripsholm (launched 1924). Also found the Hapag-Lloyd website (MS Berlin was operated by Norddeutscher Lloyd prior to the 1970 merger with Hapag/Hamburg-American Line). After reviewing the history of these two competing, yet cooperating, shipping companies, I’m amazed how they both survived two World Wars and continued to this day as a single entity. It’s truly a remarkable timeline mirroring Germany’s rise, downfalls and recoveries. Schooner Carmen – Bob Fallon Bob brought in his model of Carmen, a schooner kit from Constructo in 1:80 scale. The hull is of plank on bulkhead construction and the model appears to be nearly complete. This model represents his first build and it has taken him about eight months so far. The standing rigging is on as is all the deck furniture. Both gaffs have been sent aloft and he is working on the booms. Once that is complete he will be ready to tackle the sails. From what you editor can see, it looks like a very fine model and an excellent job, very cleanly done. My Ideal House – John Simmons John has turned, temporarily we hope; from designing racing sail craft and prototype military airships along with an exhaustive collection of cutters, sandbaggers and other sailing warships. His latest prototype is the home he would like to build that includes all that he could wish for in a custom house. His name for the style of architecture he has created is “American Cotswold” and the model is scaled 1:48. Design features include over sized dormers, 4 a slate roof with copper caps and a standing seam copper roof over the family room. There are only two sizes of windows, larger on the ground floor and smaller on the upper. He has included arch detailed windows and French doors on the rear Master Bed Room balcony. The two-story house includes a basement and a three-car garage. Originally he planned for a three-story house but the final design was limited to two. Does that make the house a raze, John? Materials for the model include model railroad and architectural details such as the slate roof, windows, trees and bricks. Wood sheeting was used as the main construction material. The copper roof was handmade. John did not mention it in his presentation but we must assume that the design includes a great hall for display of the above mentioned model collection. SS Oriana – Burt Goldstein SS Oriana was the last of the Orient Steam Navigation Company’s ocean liners. She was built at Vickers-Armstrong, Barrow-in- Furness, Cambria, England and launched on 3 November 1959 by Princess Alexandra. Originally resplendent with her owners’ traditional corn colored hull, Oriana appeared as an Orient Line ship until 1966, when that company was fully absorbed into the P&O group. Faced with unprofitable around the world passenger routes, the P&O white-hulled Oriana was operated as a full-time cruise ship from 1973. Between 1981 and her retirement from service five years later, Oriana was based at Sydney, Australia, operating to Pacific Ocean and South-East Asian ports. Deemed surplus to P&O’s requirements in early 1986, the vessel was sold to become a floating hotel and tourist attraction, first in Japan and later in China. As a result of damage sustained from a severe storm whilst in the port of Dalian in 2004, SS Oriana was finally sold to local breakers in 2005. Her main characteristics were: Tonnage: 41,910 tons; Length: 804 ft; Beam: 97.1 feet; Draught: 32 feet; Installed power: 80,000 horsepower and with capacity for more than 2,000 passengers in two classes (first and tourist). Burt built the smaller of the two models of SS Oriana in 2003 from a 2002 model kit in 1:400. Recently he recopied the kit in the larger 1:200 scale, built it and added a base to the display. As a result of coping in the larger scale the colors turned out less saturated and therefore made a more realistic looking model. Next month, hopefully, we will have more models to discuss as well as a presentation of some of the ship models that our sister club, the ROPE, put on display at the recent ROPE 40th Symposium and Exhibition held in Tokyo, Japan. 5 IAAC Yacht USA 76 – Hank Tober Monterey Fishing Boats – David Okamura Schooner Carmen – Bob Fallon My Ideal House – John Simmons SS Oriana – Burt Goldstein 6 By Don Dressel Old Salts in Port: John Bakker, Steve Jones, Don Dressel, Don Leyman, Doug Tolbert.

  • To the Islands: Photographs of Tropical Colonies in the Queenslander
    QUT Digital Repository: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/ Quanchi, Max (2008) To the islands : photographs of tropical colonies in The Queenslander. In: 18th Pacific History Association Conference, December 2008, University of the South Pacific, Suva. © Copyright 2008 [please consult the author] 1 ABSTRACT Australian readers knew a great deal about the Pacific Islands in the early 20th century. This understanding came from missionary fund-raising campaigns, visiting lantern-slide lecturers, postcards, and illustrated books and encyclopaedia but most of all, after the mid-1890s, from heavily illustrated weekend newspapers. These were published in all major cities and offered a regular visual window on ‘the islands”, three of which had become Australian colonies shortly after WW1. This paper argues that Australians were well-informed about settlement, economic opportunity and the life of Island peoples, but that it was a view affected by visual tropes and romantic notions and the hegemonic posturing of those who thought the western Pacific should become an Australian or at least a British sphere of interest. 2 To the Islands; photographs of tropical colonies in The Queenslander Between 1898 and 1938, The Queenslander, a weekend, pictorial newspaper published in Brisbane, provided an intimate, continuous photographic gallery of the European colonial frontier and the peoples and cultures of the western Pacific, publishing 2000 black and white photographs of the Pacific Islands, Torres Strait and Australian South Sea Islanders (then known as kanakas).1 Readers of The Queenslander Pictorial, an eight-page section of the newspaper, were offered “Around the Coral Sea”, over nine weekends in November and December 1906, a gallery of 78 photographs of the Shortland Islands, Samarai, Woodlark Islands, Solomon Islands, Poporang Mission in New Guinea and four full-page feature photomontages on the repatriation of Kanaka labourers.

  • RCHS Chronology of Modern Transport in the British Isles 1945
    RCHS Chronology of Modern Transport in the British Isles 1945–2015 Introduction This chronology is intended to set out some of the more significant events in the recent history of transport and communication, with particular reference to public transport, in the British Isles since the end of 1944. It cannot hope to cover the closure or opening of every branch railway or canal, the sale of every bus company, nor the coming and going of every pertinent office holder. The hope is that it does contain details of the principal legislative and organisational changes affecting transport – in particular the shifts between private and public ownership which have characterised the industry within this period – together with some notable ‘firsts’, ‘lasts’ and other significant events, especially those which exhibit trends. A very few overseas events are included (in italics), either because they had a British relationship, or for comparative purposes. Conventions Dates are, where appropriate, the first or last occasion on which an ordinary member of the public could make full use of the facility: official and partial openings on different dates are in general confined to parentheses; and ‘closed with effect from’ (wef) dates are quoted only where the actual last day of service has not been certainly established. Dates assigned to statutes are those of assent unless stated otherwise. ‘First’, ‘last’ or similar qualifiers mean ‘in Britain’ unless otherwise indicated. ‘Commercial’ is used, rather loosely, as a qualifier to exclude experimental, enthusiast, heritage, leisure or similar operations. Forms of name are those in use at the date of the event.

  • • 5 NEWSLETTER April 2020
    • 5 NEWSLETTER April 2020 Hello Gents, this month’s newsletter is quite different from the usual read, primarily because there is no news! We have been on the official lockdown for nearly three weeks now, and I know some have been on their self imposed isolation for longer. I have not heard to the contrary so hope everyone is keeping well and trying to keep occupied. In a previous message I said if anyone needed anything delivering, I would be pleased to help but I am following guide lines and now not going out unnecessarily. I think people will now be aware of all the delivery services from individuals and business’s “stepping up to the mark”. It is at times like these that we can appreciate how fortunate we are living in this area. Thanks to the people who have contributed towards this publication, and Nevile for collating and sending it out. Who knows how long this situation will last, but I think it’s fair to say it will be a few months before normal service is resumed? Any contribution towards another letter in another six weeks (or so) time would be most welcome. I have never typed as much in my whole life! Hopefully this edition will give members ideas for contributions to editions of the newsletter for the future month(s). Some members felt that it was good idea to keep the newsletter going because it helps people keep in touch and hopefully keeps up morale in these unprecedented times. One idea suggested was that people discuss and provide photos of a favourite model build, interesting engineering experiences or even recommend books or magazine articles that have inspired them in their modelling.
