As our good friends at Crewtoo keep telling us, happiness really does matter - and we are pleased to find out that Liverpool has been voted one of the best places in the UK... Liverpool is one of the happiest places to work because of what the city and its people are like: friendly, collaborative, ‘supportive,’ says Matt Kennedy, centre manager at local startup incubator, Launch22. ‘There is a cosmopolitan feel around the place. We have come a long way over the last decade, and I think there’s an excitement about what the future holds.’ So said an article in The Guardian this month - it is no surprise to us - and the Propeller Club Liverpool stands as a testament to all those things. We like to think we are a friendly bunch, and we seek to support each other...that just leaves collaboration. Leading us very nicely into one of our articles this issue. There are many, many "maritime" groups in the city and area, and we want to start the process of bringing them all together, so that we can support each others events and aims, and to also ensure that we don't water down the potential audience. So if you are part of another organisation let us know, and we will be pleased to reach out. In this issue we look back on our latest lunch - which was a great success, despite "dry January"...or was it because of it. Anyway - read more of the event and the great speech from Phil Parry on careers, life and a whole host of issues. If you missed that lunch, fear not we are in the process of confirming arrangements for our "Anniversary Charter Lunch" - and we hope you can make it. Please enjoy this latest issue - looking at the many and varied maritime aspects to our city and surrounds - please do also make sure you pass it on to your friends and colleagues. We need to begin to grow our membership, and we need your help to do it. We hope to also see you at the next First Thursdays - but in the meantime wish you a safe and successful year ahead.

To attract a World Title bout and Convention which will have an economic impact of up to £3.2m in the city economy 3. To enhance Cardiff’s reputation as an international sports capital and to generate significant global media exposure to promote the city on an international stage. Background 4. Over the last decade Cardiff has built an international reputation for the successful delivery of high profile sporting events, including; the Rugby World Cup; the FA Cup and Heineken Cup Finals, the Ashes Test and the Ryder Cup. Alongside this the city has developed a world-class sporting and visitor destination infrastructure. In recognition of this Cardiff was recently awarded the status of European Capital of Sport. 5. It is recognised that this programme of major sporting events has led to significant benefits for the city economy, including: attracting tourists and the additional consumer spend they bring into the local economy; world- wide media coverage and profile; increased civic and national pride and encouraging increased participation in sporting activities. 6.

Andy Pearson Born With a Silver Spanner in Her Hand BY ANDY PEARSON, PH.D., C.ENG., FELLOW ASHRAE I’m writing this column on the birthday of one of the most unusual and inspiring characters in engineering history. She was born in a Scottish castle near Perth into a family of the landed gentry and was named after her godmother who was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Despite her noble beginnings Victoria Drummond clearly had an aptitude for hands-on engineering. As a young girl she enjoyed making wooden toys and mod- els and is said to have won prizes for them. Aged 21 she started an apprenticeship in a garage in Perth and two years later transferred her training to the Caledon Shipbuilding yard in Dundee, where she served her time in the pattern shop for the foundry and in the fin- ishing shop. After two more years she completed her apprenticeship and spent further time as a journey- man engine builder and then in the drawing office at Caledon. When the yard hit hard times a couple of years later she was laid off, but managed to get a place with the Blue Funnel line in Liverpool and after a short trial voyage she was signed on as tenth engineer (the bottom rung of the ladder) on a passenger liner sailing between England and Australia.

  • Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: the German Initiative in the 1950S1 Alston Kennerley
    Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: The German Initiative in the 1950s1 Alston Kennerley Tout au long du 20ème siècle la pertinence de l'expérience pratique dans les navires hauturiers à voile carrée avec de futures carrières de marin dans les navires motorisés a été discutée et remise en cause. Il restent aujourd'hui des pays qui fournissent une telle expérience pour des officiers stagiaires, et il y a un soutien mondial pour donner de l'expérience de la voile aux jeunes dans le cadre du développement caractériel indépendamment du futur métier. La discussion ici se concentre sur l'initiative allemande des années 50, en recherchant des avis personnels au sujet du contexte et du but opérationnel, par le moyen de questionnaires sur l'expérience personnelle de la voile et du métier de marin qui a pu suivre. Les résultats prouvent que les répondants étaient généralement favorables à la possibilité de formation en termes de la gamme étendue des qualifications personnelles engendrées, et que le coût et l'effort sont valables. The history of merchant seafarer training is probably almost as old as deep sea seafaring itself. It can certainly be identified from medieval times, at least in Britain through the adoption of craft guild progression structures: apprenticeship, journeyman craftsman (mate), master craftsman. In British seafaring two levels of apprenticeship evolved: seaman apprenticeship and officer apprenticeship. With the opening of the oceans in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, educational dimensions, especially navigation, began to be taught ashore as well as at sea, to those destined for command. Until well into the nineteenth century, skills aspects, grouped under the term seamanship, were always learned or taught through example and experience aboard ships engaged in commercial trading.

  • Your Disability Is Your Opportunity: a Historical Study of Kurt Hahn Focusing on the Early Development of Outdoor Activities
    Your Disability is Your Opportunity: A historical study of Kurt Hahn focusing on the early development of outdoor activities. Nicholas James Veevers DISSERTATION PRESENTED IN PART FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN OUTDOOR EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH MORAY HOUSE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION (2006) This dissertation is dedicated to the most honourable man I have ever met, my father, Jim Veevers, who died after a long illness during its construction. To him I owe my love of the outdoors. “Because I had the opportunities he did not” ABSTRACT It appears that Kurt Hahn (1886 – 1974) did not produce a specific piece of work which traced, in detail, his development of outdoor activities. Research indicated that, although there have been studies examining his educational theory as a whole, there have been no detailed studies which have specifically investigated Hahn’s development of outdoor activities in an historical context. As Hahn was one of the field’s greatest advocates, a historical study, tracing his development of outdoor activities, was needed to document these events. The aim was to provide the most in-depth historical account possible (up to, and including the 1944 Education Act) and so provide a clearer version of events than existed previously. The research used an inductive approach based on primary data (documents, interviews, correspondence) which was processed using thematic analysis. These findings show that Hahn’s development of outdoor activities is much more complicated than the often quoted fact of him being one of the founders of Outward Bound in 1941. For an accurate understanding of Hahn’s contribution to the outdoor experiential education field this should be recognised.

  • Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.
