PLEASURE BOATING & YACHT RACING 45 AUTHOR lNDEX 46 SUBJECT INDEX 51 VESSEL INDEX INTROOUCT ION WhenI first set out to co1lect material for a bibliography four years ago, I had hopes of producing a small volume each year. I also expected that I wou1d remain at the C. W, Blunt White Library for the foreseeable future. Almost as soon as the first vo1umewas available for sale, I left Mystic Seaport to becomeUniversity Archivist at Texas ASM. By this time, much of the material for the second volume had been assembled. Miss Pamela McNulty, Reference Librarian at the G. W. Blunt White Library graciously consented to continue the project I had star ted . I supplied information from the manyhistorical journals held by Texas AIIM, Oncethe secondvolume was out, Mystic Seaportdecided not to pro- duce any more in the series, At this point I inquired at the Center for Marine Resourcesabout their interest in the bibliography. Their re- sponse was favorable, but we decided on a biannual rather than an annual volume. The periodicals cited in this bibliography are, with one or two exceptions, all held by the Texas A8M University Library. Since Texas AINMdoes not receive someof the houseorgans and regionalmagazines that were available at Mystic Seaport, artic1es from them do not appear in this volume. Although the title limits this volume to Artic1es appearing in 1972 and 1973, perhaps half a dozen of the entries are from 1971. A few periodicals containing articles of considerable importance arrived too late to be included in the 1971 volume. I fe1t that they were too significant to leave them out of this bibliography. Since the items listed here~n are arranged by subject and most of the categories are fairly short, I have not madea detailed subject index. A few subjects did, however, warrant special attention. Also names of people, places, and vessels mentioned in the titles of arti- cles or in the annotations have been indexed, Copies of the 1 971and 1972 bibliographies can be purchasedfrom Marine Historical Associat~on Incorporated, Mystic, Connecticut 06355.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.

Emerson: War Powers Legislation War Powers Legislation J. TERRY EMERSON* I. INTRODUCTION The Ninety-Second Congress has been marked by the unusual drama of a vigorous and persistent effort by the Legislative Branch to confront the President, eyeball to eyeball, over the primary issues of war and peace. Nowhere has the contest been joined in a more fundamental way, reaching to the very core of the division of powers between the two political branches, than in the bold thrust by several senators to codify the rules governing the circumstances in which the United States may go to and remain in war.' No less than 19 senators have introduced or cosponsored one of five different bills or joint resolutions seeking to define the instances when the President may use or deploy the Armed Forces of the United States.' Taken singly or severally, these measures purport to demark the sole conditions under which the President can initiate military hostilities and to restrict his authority to continue any such hostility beyond a brief period unless and until he has obtained a new and specific authorization from Congress.4 * A.B.

  • Dupont Heritage Plan
    1 DuPont Heritage Plan Presented to the City of DuPont By the DuPont Historical Society 2014 “In a nutshell, planning is the process of figuring out where you want to go, evaluating where you are now, and identifying how you can reach your destination……. Susan L. Henry Renaud, Preservation Planning, National Park Service 2 Introduction Historic places are important to every community. In an age of change, they help provide a sense of needed continuity. Indeed, they greatly contribute to a sense of place which can unite residents. Also historic places, when properly presented, can attract tourists to a town. This would naturally benefit the local economy. The City of DuPont is blessed with many significant historic places. They include both buildings and sites. Together these places tell the amazing story of the DuPont area. This story began with the Nisqually Indian occupation of the land. It continued with the Euro-American explorers of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Then the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company in the 19th Century established a sequential series of trading posts called Fort Nisqually that changed life forever in the Southern Puget Sound region. Encounters with Native Americans, Missionaries, and American Settlers brought cooperation and conflict. The Medicine Creek Treaty and Puget Sound Indian War shifted the power to the Americans and their homesteads. Change came again in the early 20th Century when the DuPont Company bought land and set up an explosives factory. The Company employees and their families were first housed in temporary tar paper shacks, but soon the historic village of DuPont took shape.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO BERKELEY • DAVIS • IRVINE • LOS A:-.;GELES • RIVERSIDE • SAN DIEGO • SAN FRANCISCO SANTA BARBARA • SANTA CRUZ SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA 92093 SUBJECT: EXPEDITION NAMES Not long ago, as one of Scripps Institution's ships was beginning a new expedition, the name of the expedition rang a mental bell for one of the SIO scientists. He felt sure the name had been used before, and it had. The name of the expedition was changed, but the original choice has since been used again anyway, and both occurrences were the result of the lack of means to check for such duplication. It was pointed out to the staff of the Ship Scheduler's Office that there was a list of names of previous expeditions that had been compiled originally by the Curator of Geology, and revised by his staff. It was comprised primarily of expeditions and samples of direct concern to geologists. Since the person contacted for this list (though there were numerous copies scattered around as part of a geological curating manual) • had also been involved in enlarging the original, it seemed rather logical (to some) that this person should be the one to update the list insofar as possible.

  • The Rise of Scotland to a Position of Dominance in British Northern Whaling, 1802-18401
    The Rise of Scotland to a Position of Dominance in British Northern Whaling, 1802-18401 Chesley W. Sanger Introduction The transformation of Scottish Northern whaling from a limited and tentative venture into a large-scale, ongoing seasonal operation was a slow process. Nevertheless, by the beginning of the nineteenth century the trade had become a traditional mode of economic activity in parts of Scotland. Initial participa­ tion, however, was both temporary and periodic. A fairly lengthy period of cautious but continuous attachment, characterized by the ebb and flow of ports, vessels, personnel and capital, began in 1750. The Scots remained suspended between this phase of tentative involvement and commitment to a large-scale venture until the end of the French Revolutionary War. Over the next four decades, Scottish whalers not only rose to a position of complete dominance in the Northern bowhead industry but also dramatically altered its character. 2 This essay examines the general determinants underlying the cyclical nature of the trade, with emphasis on its seasonal, year-by-year development between 1802 and 1840, to explain how Scotland became the preeminent sup- I A significantly abridged version of this paper appeared as part of Chesley W.
