  • 'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.

  • The Smacksmen of the North Sea
    JOHN RULE THE SMACKSMEN OF THE NORTH SEA LABOUR RECRUITMENT AND EXPLOITATION IN BRITISH DEEP-SEA FISHING, 1850-90 The modern history of British deep-sea fishing begins with the railway expansion of the mid-nineteenth century. Rapid transport and the increasing use of ice as a preservative made it possible for fresh sea fish to enter the diets of the inhabitants of inland towns. Fresh sea fish was regarded as almost a luxury food before the railway age, yet by the third quarter of the nineteenth century, it had become a major protein source for the working classes of the industrial towns, and the fried-fish shop had become a working-class institution. The sea-fishing industry underwent a vast market-induced expansion. The census of 1841 enumerated only 24,000 males as being employed in fishing. By 1881 there were 58,000. If the inland consumer ever gave thought to the fishermen who supplied his table, he probably conjured up a picture of a weather-beaten village fisherman going daily to the fishing grounds to return in the evening to his waiting wife and children, bringing the silver harvest of the sea. While he had been at sea his family had busied themselves baiting lines, making and mending nets, and, in the case of the fish wives, performing their traditional function of selling the catch. Such a picture may have been broadly true of the fishing villages of Scotland, Cornwall, Northumberland or the South coast, but a feature of the second half of the nineteenth century was the creation of a new kind of fisherman who crewed the sailing trawlers of the North Sea.

  • Diesel Engines Market 2017 Global Forecasts
    Diesel Engines Market 2017 Global Forecasts Light Vehicle Diesel Engines Market Demand to Outpace Trucks & Buses Says a New Research Report Available at RnRMarketResearch.com RnRMarketResearch.com adds "World Diesel Engines to 2017" market research report to its store. Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen and 25+ other companies are profiled in this report. Worldwide diesel engine market demand will continue to be dominated by motor vehicles, particularly medium and heavy trucks and buses. These units benefit significantly from the high power output and greater fuel economy of compression- ignition engines relative to the only other viable alternative, spark-ignition engines. However, this segment will record slower market growth than light vehicles through 2017 in percentage terms, due primarily to an already high diesel penetration rate, which leaves little room for expansion. Sales of light vehicle diesel engines will advance at a faster pace due to an expected increase in the diesel penetration rate in India and the US, as well as higher overall light vehicle output in Western Europe and Thailand, areas where diesel automobiles and light trucks are already popular. Market gains will be even stronger in percentage terms for off-highway applications. As global economic growth accelerates, off-highway machinery operators will feel more confident in their revenue streams and replace the older equipment in their fleets, fueling sales and production of agricultural, construction, and mining machinery. Complete report titled World Diesel Engines to 2017 is available at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/world-diesel-engines-to-2017-market-report.html . Demand for diesel engines will rebound through 2017 in Western Europe, the second largest regional market, supported by a recovery in the area’s economy following the debt-related recessions experienced in many nations in 2012.

  • Revealing Reward: a Brixham Trawler in Saltern's Creek
    Revealing Reward: A Brixham Trawler in Saltern’s Creek Courtesy of Sue Edden INTRODUCTION “Culture” is a term commonly used today to describe different aspects of a group of people, to describe different beliefs and customs as their ‘culture’ or way of life. But underlying the culture and values of every group of people is heritage: national heritage, local heritage and family heritage. Commonly manifested as artifacts – material objects from the past that still exist today – heritage serves to remind people about their past, where they came from, and who they are. Heritage artifacts therefore contribute to the formation and understanding of identity, whether on a family, local or national level. Worldwide, people surround themselves with objects and artifacts of identity: images of deceased relatives, pictures or objects serving as a reminder of a past experience, and symbols of religion or patriotism. Such artifacts and images are deemed socially important, and may become protected and preserved by institution. How they are valued, however, may differ. Some objects will be conserved or reproduced and placed in a public location to serve as a reminder of the past and social identity, whereas others may be placed in a publicly accessible but strictly regulated location to ensure their survival for future generations. We see some of these objects and sites every time we pass a monument, a historic building, see a flag, or enter a museum. But the objects themselves are merely a tangible and symbolic reminder of heritage; they cannot speak and do not tell their story by merely existing. Rather, their history must be revealed and understood in a broader context to cultivate meaning.

Now is a very pertinent time to look at the ongoing sustainability of the UK vehicle industry. 2006 was a great year of change in the UK automotive sector. Plant closures in Coventry and model changes elsewhere affected production vol- umes. However a successful UK automotive sector is still extremely viable. A rapidly evolving, environmentally focused industry needs to deliver all the elements of sustainability to ensure long-term viability. This report demonstrates the challenges we face in the UK of achieving this and is a reflection of the pressures of adapting procedures, methods, products and disposal of vehicles.
