  • Admiral Nelson, HMS Foudroyant and the Barnard Castle Gavels
    Admiral Lord Nelson, HMS Foudroyant, Nelson of the Nile Lodge, and the Barnard Castle Masonic Gavels The Ship and Admiral Lord Nelson The name Foudroyant is French for, broadly, “thunder and lightning” and came initially from a French battleship, captured in a single-ship action in 1758 by HMS Monmouth. This 'Foudroyant' was a large and new 80-gun French flagship of a squadron under Admiral Duquesne. On 28 February 1758 she was on her way to relieve the French Commodore, de la Clue, at Cartagena when she was intercepted by Admiral Osborn with three British ships of the line, the 'Monmouth' and 'Hampton Court', both 64 guns, and the 'Swiftsure', 70 guns. The 'Monmouth' was the first of the separated British squadron to engage the 'Foudroyant', despite the disparity in force between the ships. The action began at 8.00 pm and at about 9.30 pm, the 'Monmouth's' commander, Captain Arthur Gardiner, was hit in the forehead by a piece of grape-shot. He was carried below and Lieutenant Robert Carkett assumed command. Shortly afterwards, the 'Monmouth' lost her mizzen, followed by the 'Foudroyant', which also lost her mainmast. By midnight, the Frenchman's fire had almost ceased and, on the arrival of the 'Swiftsure', which fired one broadside into her, she struck. The 'Monmouth' was unable to take possession of the 'Foudroyant' herself, since none of her boats would float and Captain Gardiner subsequently died from his wounds. 'Foudroyant' was taken into the Royal Navy after capture and during her working life was considered to be its finest two-decker.

  • Sculptural Serenity: an Open Air Extravaganza on Blackpool’S Promenade Introduction
    SCULPTURAL SERENITY: AN OPEN AIR EXTRAVAGANZA ON BLACKPOOL’S PROMENADE INTRODUCTION When the opportunity to travel comes back into our lives in 2021, outdoor space, and the chance to explore new facets within it, are likely to be highly valued. The so-called ‘staycation’ is predicted to be the number one holiday trend this year and we may, for some time, need to do our own thing, keeping our distance from others, to keep everyone safe. If there is one thing Blackpool – and the rest of our Fylde coastline – has in abundance, it is open space. We are all said to have fallen in love with nature during lockdowns and our fabulous seafront offers every opportunity to explore its call, whether you listen to crashing waves, watch the sand change colour as the tide recedes, or pay attention to the cries of the herring gulls overhead. We reflect the colours of Blackpool within our luxury self- catering holiday apartments, using the ‘Left Coast Colour Palette’ within each one’s individual branding and interior. What we really want to do, of course, is get our visitors outdoors, exploring these for themselves and discovering new facets to Blackpool and its surrounding towns and villages. To help you do that whenever you can, whilst (for now) giving you something new to learn about Blackpool, we have put together our little guide to some stunning things, remarkable, unusual and poignant, which you can see, when you step outside our door. If you want to walk with added purpose, get carried away with your camera whilst trying to take artistic shots, or cycle and take in sea air, this guide will provide something for you to look out for, ponder, debate and discuss with the dog, perhaps, if he or she is also staying with us! We hope it will bring you some added pleasure, at a time when the outdoors and open spaces will have to continue to be our sanctuary.

She was launched on 8th October 1778. 1 The vessel was named after Alexander the Great. HMS Alexander in the Mediterranean and the Battle of Aboukir Bay: Prior to 1798, there was no British naval activity going on in the Mediterranean. However the British authorities felt that a naval presence was necessary for many reasons; The presence of an allied fleet in the Mediterranean could have shaped diplomatic relations by coaxing Austria back into the war. Subsequently the need for the Royal Navy to sail to the Mediterranean was precipitated even further when the intelligence reports were coming in that there was a strong French army and naval presence in Toulon and the North Italian ports, with the intention of sailing to Egypt. From there the French would have marched on to India; Britain’s crown jewel and major possession in East.

    Naval Documents of The American Revolution Volume 9 AMERICAN THEATRE: Jun. 1, 1777–Jul. 31, 1777 EUROPEAN THEATRE: Jun. 1, 1777–Sept. 30, 1777 AMERICAN THEATRE: Aug. 1, 1777– Sept. 30, 1777 Part 3 of 5 United States Government Printing Office Washington, 1986 Electronically published by American Naval Records Society Bolton Landing, New York 2012 AS A WORK OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THIS PUBLICATION IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 1,2777, to September 30,1777 EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 1,1777, to September 30,1777 SUMMARY A letter written from Dublin" in July noted: "Our trade with Waterford, Corke, Belfast, and Derry, is entirely at a stand, in consequence of the swarms of American privateers which infest our coast." Similar cries of alarm and pleas for convoy protection came from other port cities in Ireland, England and Scotland. While all American raiders were called privateers, a three ship Continental Navy squadron, with Captain Lambert Wickes as senior officer, was wreaking par- ticular havoc on British merchant shipping. Gustavus Conyngham was once again at sea from Dunkerque in the newly outfitted Continental Navy cutter Revenge. Silas Deane wrote to Robert Morris that Conyngham's exploits had made him "the terror of all the Eastern Coast of England & Scotland." The Royal Navy countered the serious American assault on Britain's trade by increasing the number of patrol areas and ships assigned to search, capture, or destroy missions. This stepped-up effort had its effect. Mill Prison at Plymouth, and Forton Prison, Portsmouth, received increasing numbers of rebel seamen.

  • Sicily Diary: LA MISSIONE DI JAMES MEEK in SICILIA (Ottobre 1800-Marzo 1801)
    Maria Teresa Di Paola SICILy DIARy: LA MISSIONE DI JAMES MEEK IN SICILIA (Ottobre 1800-Marzo 1801) Premessa Il presente contributo trae spunto da un breve diario in lingua inglese il cui autore per lungo tempo è rimasto ignoto, pur avendo lasciato nel testo delle tracce che potevano facilitare la sua individuazione. Scritto nel corso d’alcuni mesi a cavallo degli anni 1800-1801 da un funzionario britannico inviato in Sicilia ad acquistare rifornimenti da spedire a Malta, il diario offre una visione dell’isola da una prospettiva del tutto diversa rispetto a quella dei tanti diari e ricordi di viaggio finora pubblicati e costituisce una testimo - nianza interessante sul come funzionava a livello periferico il sistema intro - dotto dagli inglesi per rifornire le proprie navi nel Mediterraneo. Il manoscritto originale del diario 1 è conservato in Australia, a Sidney, presso l’archivio familiare di Betty Harrison, dove tempo addietro fu rinve - nuto in una cartella contenente vecchie carte ereditate dal magistrato John Milbourne Marsh (c. 1819-1891), fra le quali vi era pure un foglietto sul quale era annotato che varie cose erano pervenute dall’Inghilterra dopo la morte di Lady Mary-Ann Meek (1786-1870) 2. Nato in Jamaica dalle secon - de nozze del Postmaster General John Milbourne Marsh con Frances Elizabeth Grant, John Milbourne jr. aveva perso la madre subito dopo la nascita ed era stato cresciuto in Inghilterra dalla zia materna Mary-Ann * Contributo presentato dalla socia prof.ssa Michela D’Angelo. 1 Il documento è stato trovato trascritto come Sicily Diary in un sito web aperto nel 2000 per ricostruire la storia della famiglia Heath-Caldwell (http://www.jjhc.info, Biography of Interesting People ).
