  • Opening Day a Yachting Tradition Sunday, 29 April, 2018
    Opening Day A Yachting Tradition Sunday, 29 April, 2018 Opening Day is the annual celebration of the arrival of spring and the boating season. It is the year’s busiest, most interesting day at the Club and all members and their families are warmly invited and encouraged to participate. Opening Day is a great opportunity to meet existing and new friends, and celebrate everything that is great about the Club. It is also a good opportunity to introduce potential members to the Club, so bring them along for the day. It is believed that the tradition of a Sailpast began at the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, England nearly 200 years ago. The actual ‘review of the fleet’ is steeped in more than 600 years of Royal Navy tradition and history. It was introduced in yacht clubs as a continuation of the naval practice whereby Admirals and Royalty reviewed the fleet on special occasions. Our Club’s tradition is similar, except the salute is received by the Commodore, who will be aboard the sailing vessel Argyle anchored in Esquimalt Harbour. Club boats deliver the salute by dipping the ensign while passing the Commodore, with all crew standing facing the Commodore (headdress should be worn). The Commodore is the only one to return the salute by hand. Traditionally, all club members should participate in the Sailpast, on their own or on another member’s vessel. If you don’t have access to a boat, and would like to participate in the Sailpast, bring your family and friends to the club and we will make our best efforts to find a boat for you.

  • The United States Customs Boat Patrol on Lake Champlain During the Prohibition Era by A
    SUMMER 1980 VOL. 48, NO. 3 History The GFROCEEDINGS of the VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY "Before we could ovenake him, he had unloaded his contraband cargo. I can still picture him swerving sharply to the starboard and heading toward ... the New York shore." The United States Customs Boat Patrol on Lake Champlain During the Prohibition Era By A. BRADLEY SOULE, M.D. The Lake Champlain Boat Patrol, an arm of the United States Customs Service set up from 1924 until 1933 to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, the "Prohibition Amendment," worked to close the lake to illegal trans­ ponation of alcoholic beverages. Among the many books and anicles pub­ lished about prohibition and measures taken to enforce it, few discuss smuggling on Lake Champlain. One exception, Allan S. Everest's "Rum Across the Border: the Prohibition Era in Northern New York ," (New York, Syracuse University Press, 1978), recounts a number of rollicking smuggling episodes including several involving the Customs Patrol Boat. But Professor Everest did not know of many of the escapades of the Patrol found in my personal recollections and those of my friends and half hidden in old clippings from the St . Albans Messenger and the Burlington Free Press. 1 Effons to enforce the Volstead Act in Vermont and on Lake Cham­ plain were the responsibility of the United States Customs Service, District #2, with headquaners in the Federal Building on lower Kingman Street in St. Albans. Initially, they largely limited their activities to the inspection of vehicles at the border stations and of passengers and their luggage on railroads operating from Canada to the United States.

  • A Study on the Changes of the Women's Uniform in England
    Journal of Fashion Business Vol. 6, No. 3. pp.15~27(2002) A Study on the Changes of the Women’s Uniform in England Kim, Kyung-Hee Full-time instructor, Dept. of Fashion and Textile Design, Seoil College Abstract A uniform is generated in the course of confirming a singular mode of dress that is adopted by a community for a specific purpose. In particular, women’s uniform has a close relations to their position in the community they belong to. And women’s uniform has closely been associated with finding ways into their communities over the centuries, and is part of women’s development process. Women’s history of using organized uniforms has not been longer than men’s. Their realm of activities began to be enlarged due to the World War, and women’s uniform has gradually settled down and moved toward diversity. The origin of many uniforms worn by today’s women can be traced back to the end of the last century, and this fact indicates that women started to find their ways into many new fields at that time. There has been a lot of changes until current women’s uniforms come out. It’s intended in this study to contribute to designing more creative and productive women’s uniform, by taking a careful look at typical early uniforms for service personnels, nannies, nurses and soldiers that are an indication of their work and working environment. Key words: domestic service, military uniform, nanny, nun, nurse uniform I. Introduction of clothes for a specific purpose, and then it eventually develops into uniform.

Dawson III The comparative experiences of the nineteenth-century British and American Army officer’s wives add a central dimension to studies of empire. Sharing their husbands’ sense of duty and mission, these women transferred, adopted, and adapted national values and customs, to fashion a new imperial sociability, influencing the course of empire by cutting across and restructuring gender, class, and racial borders. Stationed at isolated stations in British India and the American West, many officers’ wives experienced homesickness and disorientation.

  • A Study on Hat User Habits and Their Perception of the Product Form
    A study on Hat User Habits and Their Perception of the Product Form Chao-Yuan, Tseng*, Fong-Gong, Wu** * Department of Industrial Design, National Cheng Kung University, [email protected] ** Department of Industrial Design, National Cheng Kung University, [email protected] Abstract: A hat offers head protection as one of its main purposes; some hats have brims that block out sunlight. Through survey questionnaire, literature review, user behavior analysis and word recognition, this study investigates sixteen different types of consumer hat product to understand the relationship between hat form image and consumption habit perceived by consumers. This study was collected from 54 participants (32 male, 22 female), 16 primary variables (types of hat), and 20 affective-cognitive variable. The study results show that 64.8% of respondents see no need to wear hat; consumers have low requirement regarding the scheduled cleaning of hat that 83.3% of respondents either never cleans or only washes when hat gets dirty. In terms of hat type, baseball cap (50%), and flat cap (13%) have higher preference while wide brim hat, conical Asian hat, shawl hat, peaked cap, and bell shaped hat are least favored. Factor analysis is conducted on a series of adjectives describing types of hat and the results show five factors with higher significance. They are gentle/graceful, retro/understated, normal/ordinary, self-expression, and fashionable/trendy. The study extends further into the age demographics analysis that can be referred to in the design and development of different types of fashion and accessory product. Key words: Hat, Form Image, Word Recognition, Consumption Habit 1.
