Armed Sloop Welcome Crew Training Manual
HMAS WELCOME ARMED SLOOP WELCOME CREW TRAINING MANUAL Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes 13268 S. West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him). -

Rigging Guide Viola 14 Lug Rig
Rigging Guide Viola 14 Lug Rig The Balanced Lug Rig The balanced lug rig is often chosen by small boat designers for having the following favourable characteristics: Traditional in appearance Cheap to rig Easy home construction of the spars involved Relatively short spars for a given sail area Powerful sail that is easy to control for the sail being self-vanging Very quickly to raise and to strike the sail (important for sail & oar use as well as emergencies). Good sail shape, also when reefed The lug rig is a very good choice for the Viola canoe if looking for a versatile rig that can easily be reefed, also on the water. It is excellent for touring or camp-sailing. The picture below shows the definitions used throughout this document for the various parts of a balanced lug rig. Making the Mast Mast sections are to be made of 6000 series T6 series aluminium tubes. The instructions for making the shoulder and bearings on the top mast section by using glass tape epoxied to the mast and a short section of aluminium tube of the same diameter as the bottom mast section for the shoulder (to ensure that the top mast section sits well in the bottom section) can be found in the Viola 14 plans. Dimensions/details bottom mast section: Length 2450mm Outside diameter 60mm Inside diameter 56mm (2mm wall thickness) Centre halyard cleat 550mm from the bottom of the mast. Bolt or rivet the halyard cleat to the mast. Optional saddle just above mast partner level for the dagger board elastic. -
Chapter Twelve Have Used the Serv-O-Matic Available at Syren Ship Model Company
Chapter Twelve have used the Serv-o-matic available at Syren Ship Model Company. It’s a simple device and you Starting the rigging process… could no doubt make one similar should you want to. Before I begin describing the rigging process, I must remind folks that it would be a great time to slip that traveler ring onto the bowsprit. I forgot to mention this in the previous chapter. Traveler rings are also available for this model at SSMC. They are made already blackened and simply need to be slid onto the bowsprit before we begin rigging. A served rope basically has a thinner line wrapped around it as shown above. It can be needed for a ropes entire length. The serving machine allows you to wrap a standard rope with a thin thread for an unlimited length. See below for a photo showing a served line …bottom…in comparison to a non-served length of rope. I will be rigging the model in a specific order that I find comfortable to work in. I am assuming that this is probably not your first model and you may have developed a different order to rig your model that has become comfortable for you. But even so, I will describe the different tasks to rig the Cheerful in the order I proceeded in. Thimbles- Whenever a thimble is needed I will show this detail. This is yet another optional detail. Before I start, let me describe a few things that you You can create a thimble very easily. I will be may not have detailed on your earlier models that I using thin wall brass tube from Albion. -

Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit. -
1 Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) Youth (1902) This Could Have Occurred
1 Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) Youth (1902) This could have occurred nowhere but in England, where men and sea interpenetrate, so to speak—the sea entering into the life of most men, and the men knowing something or everything about the sea, in the way of amusement, of travel, or of bread-winning. We were sitting round a mahogany table that reflected the bottle, the claret-glasses, and our faces as we leaned on our elbows. There was a director of companies, an accountant, a lawyer, Marlow, and myself. The director had been a Conway boy, the accountant had served four years at sea, the lawyer—a fine crusted Tory, High Churchman, the best of old fellows, the soul of honor— had been chief officer in the P. & O. service in the good old days when mail- boats were square-rigged at least on two masts, and used to come down the China Sea before a fair monsoon with stun'-sails set alow and aloft. We all began life in the merchant service. Between the five of us there was the strong bond of the sea, and also the fellowship of the craft, which no amount of enthusiasm for yachting, cruising, and so on can give, since one is only the amusement of life and the other is life itself. Marlow (at least I think that is how he spelt his name) told the story, or rather the chronicle, of a voyage: “Yes, I have seen a little of the Eastern seas; but what I remember best is my first voyage there. -

While the former provide pattern, the latter give texture. Objects that directly link people to historical events allow us to touch the past. Some are very personal connections between indi- viduals and their ancestors. Others are the touch- stones of our collective memory. Buried in the sand of Lake Superior is the USS ESSEX, an artifact of the nation’s maritime past. A mid- nineteenth-century sloop of war designed by one of America’s foremost naval architects, Donald McKay, the ESSEX traveled around the world and ultimately came to rest on Duluth’s Minnesota Point, about as far from the ocean as a vessel can get.
