Thank you in advance. Therefore this work has taken the ‘best guess’ approach where the location of the wreck is relatively clear. In some cases the location can not be guessed and so the wreck is characterised as ‘location unknown’. Wrecks are in international waters when it is not possible to assign a state without doubt.

  • United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Contrasting Patterns of Population Structure and Gene Flow Facilitate
    OPEN Heredity (2017) 119, 35–48 Official journal of the Genetics Society www.nature.com/hdy ORIGINAL ARTICLE Contrasting patterns of population structure and gene flow facilitate exploration of connectivity in two widely distributed temperate octocorals LP Holland1, TL Jenkins1 and JR Stevens Connectivity is an important component of metapopulation dynamics in marine systems and can influence population persistence, migration rates and conservation decisions associated with Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). In this study, we compared the genetic diversity, gene flow and population structure of two octocoral species, Eunicella verrucosa and Alcyonium digitatum, in the northeast Atlantic (ranging from the northwest of Ireland and the southern North Sea, to southern Portugal), using two panels of 13 and 8 microsatellite loci, respectively. Our results identified regional genetic structure in E. verrucosa partitioned between populations from southern Portugal, northwest Ireland and Britain/France; subsequent hierarchical analysis of population structure also indicated reduced gene flow between southwest Britain and northwest France. However, over a similar geographical area, A. digitatum showed little evidence of population structure, suggesting high gene flow and/or a large effective population size; indeed, the only significant genetic differentiation detected in A. digitatum occurred between North Sea samples and those from the English Channel/northeast Atlantic. In both species the vast majority of gene flow originated from sample sites within regions, with populations in southwest Britain being the predominant source of contemporary exogenous genetic variants for the populations studied. Overall, historical patterns of gene flow appeared more complex, though again southwest Britain appeared to be an important source of genetic variation for both species.

  • Newport, Isle of Wight. APTAIN BUTT-THOMPSON Is Doing Fine Historical C Service
    Newport, Isle of Wight. APTAIN BUTT-THOMPSON is doing fine historical C service. His essays on William Vidler and the Battle church were in early numbers of our Transactions. He has written two books about the early church at Sierra Leone, founded bynegroes from the Carolinas and Nova Scotia-a most romantic st<;>ry. Now that he is in the Isle of Wight, he has compiled the story of early Baptist effort there. While he is gathering fresh material in South Africa, he places at our disposal his results, with leave to edit them. Thomas Collier, the evangelist of the West Country from 1644 onwards, won converts on the Hampshire and Dorset coasts. From Hurst Castle a family of these, the Angels, crossed and settled in the Isle of Wight, when the plague threatened from Southampton in 1665. At Newport, Robert Tutchin had been ejected three years earlier from the parish church. He had many friends, and .some of these subscribed so that he continued to preach, though. the Five Mile Act obliged him to transfer to a house on the outer verge of the Carls Brook hamlet. Among his supporters were Cookes, Clarkes and Hopkins. Another rivulet of Dissent was Quaker. In 1670 widow Martha Jefferey came to lodge in Newport, and five years later . she bought a cottage on Pyle street where she set apart a room for the reverent. worship of Jehovah God. When she left the island in 1681, she sold the cottage to Alice Hopkins, and laid hands on Mary Hall as her successor, being moved by God to consider other fields white to harvest.
