  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1
    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

A few years after this in 1890 the quay was improved to take passengers. The idea was that Liner passengers would land by tender and be whisked to London and get there well in advance of those that stayed onboard and alighted at Southampton. There was then competition by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) picking up from Ocean Quay with Brunel’s Great Western Railway (GWR) from Millbay.

NAVAL WARFARE ON THE GREAT LAKES, 18 12-1 8 14 ON LAKE ONTARIO T THE time of the declaration of war A in 1812, the British had on Lake Ontario five armed vessels,-the Royal George, the Prince Regent, the Duke of Gloucester, the Seneca, and the Simcoe, carrying over sixty guns; and on Lake Erie. -the Queen Charlotte, the Lady Prevost, the Hunter, the Little Belt, and the Chippewa, with an equal number of guns. But the guns of these vessels were of small size, mostly six-pounders. The ships were manned by what was known as the Pro­ vincial Marine, a body of fine sailors, who. however, were inexperienced in naval war­ fare. Commodore Earle was in charge of this force, and under his direction it did good work transporting troops and forwarding supplies. In October, Commodore Isaac Chauncey arrived at Sackett's Harbour to create an American naval force and conduct naval operations.

  • African Americans in the Battle of Lake Erie
    African Americans in the Battle of Lake As a result, the northern lakes arena witnessed the hardest and bloodiest fighting of the war. If the U.S. Navy could control the waterways comprising much of the border between the United States and British Canada, then American forces would have ready- made avenues for invasion. Conversely, the lakes and rivers could just as easily serve as invasion corridors for the enemy-vulnerable passageways allowing the British to slash through to the soft underbelly of the United States. Whoever wielded control over the lakes possessed a powerful strategic and tactical advantage. The British, unhindered by the U.S. Navy, used the lakes as transportation routes for troops and supplies during the early months of the war. But the U.S. leadership recognized that warships were needed to form a protective shield along the country's northern and northwestern border, and by late 1812 a furious shipbuilding program had been inaugurated. By the summer of 1813, through new construction and the conversion of purchased merchant vessels, U.S. naval flotillas were cruising Lakes Erie, Ontario, and Champlain and, like their counterparts on the Atlantic, warships on the lakes berthed large numbers of African-American seamen. Black seamen sailed on American warships throughout the Quasi-War with France during the late 1790's and also in the wars against the Barbary pirates during the first decade of the 19th century. In the early years of the Navy the presence of black seamen on board Navy warships was unofficial to say the least. However, Navy captains during this period were responsible for crewing their own ships and most commanders knew that black seamen were just as well trained and disciplined as white seamen; at sea the color of a man's skin counted for much less than did his skills and abilities.

  • LESSON PLAN # 1 – War of 1812 in the Western District Treasure Hunt
    LESSON PLAN # 1 – War of 1812 in the Western District Treasure Hunt TOPIC: Treasure Hunt Activity. Students will read the War of 1812 website and answer a series of twenty-five questions. The questions are designed to promote a general understanding of the historical events of the war in the Western District as well as allow the students to familiarize themselves to the website. This may be done in partners. CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS: Students will – • describe the major causes and personalities of the War of 1812; • trace the historical development of their own community. OBJECTIVES (desired student outcomes): The students will – a) Attitudes: • value the experiences of past residents (and for some students, ancestors) of Windsor- Essex, Chatham-Kent, and Lambton Counties. b) Skills: • familiarize themselves to the War of 1812 in the Western District website; • develop skills in data research. c) Knowledge: • learn historical facts about local War of 1812 events, places and important people; • understand the usefulness of the website as a resource tool for future study and research. RESOURCES: • Access to a computer lab to use the War of 1812 in the Western District website. • Copies of the Treasure Hunt Question Sheet (see below). • Teacher copy of the Treasure Hunt Answer Sheet (see below). INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITY: Begin by asking students what they think of when they hear the word ‘Tecumseh.’ To many this may bring to mind names of streets, parks, or buildings in their community.

Ask the students: “Do you know why so many places in our community have the name ‘Tecumseh’?” “Do you know who Tecumseh the man was and why he was important?” “Was Tecumseh Canadian?” Do not explain the answers to these questions at this time.

  • The Foundations of British Maritime Ascendancy
    The Foundations of British Maritime Ascendancy British power and global expansion between 1755 and 1815 have mainly been attributed to the fiscal-military state and the achievements of the Royal navy at sea. Roger Morriss here sheds new light on the broader range of developments in the infrastructure of the state needed to extend British power at sea and overseas. He demonstrates how developments in culture, experience and control in central government affected the supply of ships, manpower, food, transport and ordnance as well as the support of the army, permitting the maintenance of armed forces of unprecedented size and their projection to distant stations. He reveals how the British state, although dependent on the private sector, built a partnership with it based on trust, ethics and the law. This book argues that Britain’s military bureaucracy, traditionally regarded as inferior to the fighting services, was in fact the keystone of the nation’s maritime ascendancy. roger morriss is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History, University of Exeter, and General Editor of the Navy Records Society. His previous publications include Naval Power and British Culture, 1760– 1850: Public Trust and Government Ideology (2004).
