  • The Club That “Went to Sleep”
    Chapter 2 THE CLUB THAT “WENT TO SLEEP” From what has been related in the first chapter it is clearly evident that the Geelong Yacht Club was at a very low ebb in 1869 and from that time until 1880 there is no evidence to show that a Yacht Club was in existence in Geelong. On the other hand there is strong evidence to suggest that the Geelong yachtsmen of the day continued to indulge in their favourite sport by participating in Geelong regattas and also taking part in manoeuvres and sailing matches conducted by the Port Phillip Yacht Club, later to be known as the Victoria Yacht Club and now known as the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria. But, as the purpose of this volume is to not only record the history of the Royal Geelong Yacht Club but also to record the history of sailing on Corio Bay it is perhaps appropriate to relate something of the aquatic events which took place during the period 1870-1880. The 1870 Geelong Regatta was obviously a very gay affair but, once again, we see a very small entry in the main event, the Yacht Race. However, in contrast to the previous year, there was a very good attendance. So it would seem that the criticism levelled by the Geelong Advertiser reporter in 1869, when the drapers refused to close their doors, had been heeded. It is also interesting to note that Captain Nicholson, the last-named Commodore of the Geelong Yacht Club, was the judge and Mr. Farrell, the G.Y.C.

  • THE 1866 FENIAN RAID on CANADA WEST: a Study Of
    ` THE 1866 FENIAN RAID ON CANADA WEST: A Study of Colonial Perceptions and Reactions Towards the Fenians in the Confederation Era by Anthony Tyler D’Angelo A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2009 Copyright © Anthony Tyler D’Angelo, 2009 Abstract This thesis examines Canada West’s colonial perceptions and reactions towards the Fenian Brotherhood in the Confederation era. Its focus is on the impact of the Fenians on the contemporary public mind, beginning in the fall of 1864 and culminating with the Fenian Raid on the Niagara frontier in June 1866. Newspapers, sermons, first-hand accounts, and popular poems and books from the time suggest the Fenians had a significant impact on the public mind by nurturing and reflecting the province’s social and defensive concerns, and the Raid on Canada West was used by contemporaries after the fact to promote Confederation and support a young Canadian identity. ii Writing a thesis is sometimes fun, often frustrating and always exacting, but its completion brings a satisfaction like no other. I am grateful to Queen’s University and the Department of History for giving me the opportunity to pursue this study; its completion took far longer than I thought, but the lessons learned were invaluable. I am forever indebted to Dr. Jane Errington, whose patience, knowledge, guidance and critiques were as integral to this thesis as the words on the pages and the sources in the bibliography. I cannot imagine steering the murky waters of historiography and historical interpretation without her help.
