    MARINE NEWS - Continued from Page 3 On June 20, the Shell Canada fuel dock on the St. Clair River at Corunna was struck by the C. S.L. bulker SPRUCEGLEN and damage was done to the north end of the dock. Transport Canada investigated the incident but declined to lay any charges, saying that fog had been a fac­ tor in the incident. Damage was not as severe as back in November of 2006 when the wharf was struck by JOHN G. MUNSON. Fincantieri, an Italian shipbuilder, has agreed to purchase the Manitowoc Marine Group (which includes Marinette Marine Corporation and Bay Shipbuilding Company) from The Manito­ woc Company for some $120 million, with the deal to close at the end of the year. Fincan­ tieri is looking to invest in the modernization of both Lake Michigan shipyards. Marinette Marine has just completed its first Littoral Combat Ship, U. S. S. FREEDOM, which left the yard on July 28 for trials. During May, the Erie Shipbuilding Company began construction of a 135-foot tug which will be paired with a 740-foot barge whose building commences this summer. The pair will be comple­ ted late in 2009 and will operate in lake bulk trades. It is assumed that the barge will be similar to the similar-sized GREAT LAKES TRADER, which was built in Mississippi in 2000 for the VanEnkevort interests. The exact name of the company that will own the articulated tug- barge combination has not yet been revealed. The first vessel to be owned by Great Lakes Feeder Lines ULC, of Calgary, Alberta, is the 75.

Of course in this issue I will answer some e mails from readers as well as brining in some longer stories again. There is so much on the shelfs to bring to you that once again I had to make a selection. In last issue I promised that soon an article would be published in our on line journal for media and music culture, which has been done: About Ronan O'Rahilly, the driving force behind Radio Caroline, many stories circulate. Some of those say he also was the manager of some beknown pop groups and singers. By know these tales all have been disproved. Still, as Martin van der Ven tells, O'Rahilly once may have started a band: the Caroline Showband.

    The Life and Letters of William Sharp and “Fiona Macleod” Volume 3: 1900-1905 W The Life and Letters of ILLIAM WILLIAM F. HALLORAN William Sharp and F. H F. What an achievement! It is a major work. The lett ers taken together with the excellent introductory secti ons – so balanced and judicious and informati ve – what emerges is “Fiona Macleod” an amazing picture of William Sharp the man and the writer which explores just how ALLORAN fascinati ng a fi gure he is. Clearly a major reassessment is due and this book could make it happen. Volume 3: 1900-1905 —Andrew Hook, Emeritus Bradley Professor of English and American Literature, Glasgow University William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary decep� ons of his or any � me. Sharp was a Sco� sh poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began The Life and Letters of William Sharp to write cri� cally and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlis� ng his sister to provide the handwri� ng and address, and for more than a decade “Fiona Macleod” duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman. and “Fiona Macleod” Sharp wrote “I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out”. This three-volume collec� on brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascina� ng trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of le� ers who was on in� mate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rosse� , Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod le� ers, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing “second self”.

  • Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter Van Dam Has Died
    Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter van Dam has died DATELINE 6th January 2018 Peter van Dam - described as the great godfather of Flemish pop radio, has died at the age of 65. Best remembered for his programmes on Radio Mi Amigo, Peter also worked on other offshore stations - Radio 199, Radio Caroline and Radio Atlantis. After offshore radio Peter worked on many land-based radio stations including TROS, AVRO, KRO, Radio 10 Gold, Hilversum 3, VTM, MaevaFM, Radio Contact, Radio 192 and Radio Flandria (where he was launch Programme Director). Colleague Eric Hofman paid tribute to Peter and his contribution to Flemish radio - "The first time we met was in Vilvoorde when we became colleagues. He was a great guy, with a huge personality, both in the studio and outside. A man with a phenomenal sense of humour, a lightning-fast thinker, a genius radio maker and top disc-jockey. The only Belgian who became a DJ at Hilversum 3 in prime time and the only Belgian to present the Pinkpop Festival - a whole honour. The name Peter van Dam remains inextricably linked to the golden age of radio which he presented in his inimitable, unique style. Peter is synonymous with Radio Atlantis, Caroline, Hilversum 3, but primarily Radio Mi Amigo, where he first broadcast live on board the MV Mi Amigo and later recorded programmes in Spain. Greece also became acquainted with his enormous radio talent and experience, where he helped to promote Karpathos FM from the bottom to the top of the ratings. For me Peter van Dam is the best Belgian deejay ever.
