Conclusion: God speed the barge 303 Appendix 1 315 Appendix 2 322 Bibliography 323 ii Abstract For Britons in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, “the Atlantic” was not a field of study -- it was an ocean. In this dissertation I argue for an environmentally minded Atlantic history, one that is conscious of the ocean as both a cultural and a physical presence. The ocean shaped an early modern Atlantic vernacular that was at its essence maritime, godly, anxious and sociable. The ocean was a conduit to empire, so anything Britons imagined about the oceans, they imagined about their empire as well. Britons could never fully master their empire because they could never master the ocean; it was source of anxiety for even the wealthiest merchants. The fear of extremity – of wreck and ruin – kept those who crossed the ocean focused on the three most valuable Atlantic commodities: a sound reputation, accurate information, and the mercy of God.

  • Mapping Topographies in the Anglo and German Narratives of Joseph Conrad, Anna Seghers, James Joyce, and Uwe Johnson
    MAPPING TOPOGRAPHIES IN THE ANGLO AND GERMAN NARRATIVES OF JOSEPH CONRAD, ANNA SEGHERS, JAMES JOYCE, AND UWE JOHNSON DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristy Rickards Boney, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Helen Fehervary, Advisor Professor John Davidson Professor Jessica Prinz Advisor Graduate Program in Professor Alexander Stephan Germanic Languages and Literatures Copyright by Kristy Rickards Boney 2006 ABSTRACT While the “space” of modernism is traditionally associated with the metropolis, this approach leaves unaddressed a significant body of work that stresses non-urban settings. Rather than simply assuming these spaces to be the opposite of the modern city, my project rejects the empty term space and instead examines topographies, literally meaning the writing of place. Less an examination of passive settings, the study of topography in modernism explores the action of creating spaces—either real or fictional which intersect with a variety of cultural, social, historical, and often political reverberations. The combination of charged elements coalesce and form a strong visual, corporeal, and sensory-filled topography that becomes integral to understanding not only the text and its importance beyond literary studies. My study pairs four modernists—two writing in German and two in English: Joseph Conrad and Anna Seghers and James Joyce and Uwe Johnson. All writers, having experienced displacement through exile, used topographies in their narratives to illustrate not only their understanding of history and humanity, but they also wrote narratives which concerned a larger global ii community.

  • Merganser in the Hebrides 2018
    Merganser in the Hebrides 2018 Not counting the voyage from Tollesbury to Ardrossan on the back of a truck we travelled 1200 miles through the inner and Outer Hebrides in May, June, July and August 2018. ‘We’ comprised my wife Liz and I, the true boat-dog Jester and a series of friends for a week here and there. Merganser, a Haines 340 offshore motorboat proved the perfect boat for the trip. A displacement cruiser capable of 18 knots but giving us 400+ range at 8 knots, she had spent her previous few years as a flat in St Katharine’s Dock, hence the family nickname ‘The Sitting Duck’! With two Yanmar diesel engines, generator, 2 double cabins, two bathrooms, 2 large holding tanks, heater, sheltered steering position in a Bimini upstairs and panoramic views from inside the saloon she could hardly have been more perfect for a meander around the Scottish NW. All this and only 1.2m draft allowing access to all the most sheltered nooks and crannies. We chased the truck up the A1 on May 14th and finally caught up the next day just as Merganser was kissing the water in Ardrossan marina at the mouth of the Clyde. After a day of the usual preparation and making sure we had enough stores to be independent out in the islands we set off to Arran. Almost as we left Ardrossan the wind dropped away and the sun came out...it was the start of the amazing weather and, with hindsight, we could not have been luckier with the timing of our ‘sabbatical’! Before going further, it is probably worth setting the scene a little more.

  • Transcur Forestay in This Issue
    East Coast Old Gaffers Association Newsletter Aug ‘09 August 2009 Issue 80 Transcur Many readers will have heard that Transcur, area president Peter Thomas’s lovely smack, sank at her moorings on the Orwell sometime over the weekend 11th/12th July. Transcur was built in Brightlingsea in 889 and was comprehensively rebuilt by Peter over a number of years. The good news is that Transcur was quickly raised by a professional salvage team, then taken ashore at Pin Mill where a vast band of helpers, including many Dutch visitors, set to and stripped out and cleaned the interior. Miraculously, the engine restarted, but there is still an enormous amount of work to be done. However, Peter is confident she will be performing as usual in the August Classics Cruise. Transcur is probably most famous for her appearance in Frank Mulville’s book ‘Terschelling Sands’, where she was very nearly lost off the Dutch coast as a result of a navigational error. It is ironic that after 20 active years, she should succumb to something as mundane as a defective skin fitting. Forestay The sailing events so far this year have been well supported, with a number of new boats making their appearance. New faces are always welcome, but the arrival of new boats can sometimes Transcur make your committee scratch its collective head and spend time exploring the very ethos of the Old Gaffer movement. In this Issue Let me explain; the OGA was formed to ‘encourage interest in traditional gaff rig’ and to organise races for gaff rigged boats.
