It’s probably no surprise to anyone to learn that leaving the UK at the end of October is not a good idea! During our crossing of the Bay of Biscay we had over 40 knots of wind, but since I have a remote control autopilot we can sit below on watch and still see out all round, which in the cold and rain was great! We arrived in N Spain after a stop in S Brittany and spent a few days cruising (in the rain and to windward - of course!) round the coast to Bayonna. -

Robert Steele and Company: Shipbuilders of Greenock
ROBERT STEELE AND COMPANY: SHIPBUILDERS OF GREENOCK Mark Howard There is a long tradition of shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland. It began with the production of small fishing boats and coasters to satisfy the demand for vessels from people living in the region. The scale of production, however, was modest and might have remained so but for a number of changes taking place in the wider world. Foremost among these was the expansion of Britain's colonial empire, especially the plantations founded in the West Indies and North America.1 The efforts to establish and protect these colonies together with the trade they generated created a demand for new shipping that Scottish yards helped to satisfy. Other relevant factors were the frequent wars between 1750 and 1816 that helped keep ocean freight rates at high levels; the early stirrings of the industrial revolution; the influence of the Navigation Acts; and Britain's continuing naval dominance. The size of the United Kingdom's registered merchant fleet doubled between 1775 and 1790 following the American War of Independence, and by the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars had doubled again to 2,417,000 tons.2 Of particular importance to Scotland was the 1707 Act of Union that enabled her to share fully in Britain's economic growth, and the completion of the Clyde-Forth canal in 1790 that linked western and eastern Scotland and gave Glasgow better access to the Baltic trade. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, Scotland entered a period of rapid economic gTowth that was soon matched by a rise in trade. -
SEAFARING WOMEN: an Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships
SEAFARING WOMEN: An Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships by R. Laurel Seaborn April, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies ABSTRACT During the 19th century, women went to sea on sailing ships. Wives and family accompanied captains on their voyages from New England. They wrote journals and letters that detailed their life on board, adventures in foreign ports, and feelings of separation from family left behind. Although the women kept separate from the sailors as class and social status dictated, they contributed as nannies, nurses and navigators when required. Examination of the historical documents, ship cabin plans, and photos of those interiors, as well as looking at surviving ships, such as the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, provided evidence of the objects women brought and used on board. The investigation from a gendered perspective of the extant material culture, and shipwreck site reports laid the groundwork for finding potential archaeological diagnostics of women living on board.

Clipper Ships: the Appeal of Sail by Garry Victor Hill
1 Clipper Ships: The Appeal of Sail by Garry Victor Hill Plate 1 The Ariel. By Jack Spurling (1870-1933) Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=14917880 The painting above captures exactly the breathtaking appeal of clipper ships. The azure sky with slight traces of pure white from thin clouds and the matching white foam and white sails with a touch of pale blue contrast with the dark, but vibrant blue waves. The ship, Ariel does not seem to plough through the waves so much as conquer them through 2 sleek cuts, while her billowing sails soar like clouds. The scene gives a feeling of optimism, even exuberance: clippers often did that. They were loved by owners, passengers and crews, by those who depicted them, artists, photographers and writers, even tattooists and their customers; everybody had obvious reasons. They epitomise the age of sail, but their peak years only came to two decades, 1849 to 1869. The years of their emergence and decline came to several decades. Their essential hull design was first used in Chesapeake Bay late in the eighteenth century, but these were smaller ships, closer to schooners than the later larger great clippers of the late 1830s and after. In both their sleek hull design, their narrow cutting bow, the outlay of their sails and their size they had much in common with schooners. There were strong and obvious differences: schooners were much smaller and usually had only two masts which were not even half the height of those on clippers. Schooner sails were smaller and fewer in number, and were positioned parallel to the hull, not crossways to it, as on clippers These early clippers would take part in military operations in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, sometimes as privateers, more often as smugglers and messengers.1 In peacetime they would be involved in Chesapeake trade and transportation. -

Reversals of Fortune in the Tea Industry Part 21
UPTON TEA QUARTERLY Vol 20 No. 4 Holliston, Massachusetts Fall, 2011 Reversals of Fortune in the Tea Industry Part XXI: Cutty Sark Challenges Thermopylae in 1872 Max Millar’s Drawing of the Cutty Sark Note the tea chests neatly stowed below deck. C utty Sark was launched in November 1869, the very month that the Suez Canal was completed. When Captain Moodie sailed her to China for the arrival of the new season’s teas, he discovered what every other captain in the fleet of Te a C li p p e r s would soon discover. The era of the Great Tea Race had passed from sail to steam. The first tea to reach London that year would be transported via the Suez Canal, which was impossible for the Te a C li p p e r s to navigate. The owners and captains of these fine sailing ships retained their competitive spirit, however, even as the tea trade was transformed. Please turn to page 48. Copyright 2011 Upton Tea Imports, LLC.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy. -
