  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

  • 1 Croydon Philatelic Society Notes of the Meeting Held
    CROYDON PHILATELIC SOCIETY NOTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 24TH APRIL 2018 President Richard West opened the meeting at 19.45 hours and welcomed the 14 members present. He welcomed Brian Asquith and asked him to give his presentation on Triest/Trieste. Trieste is situated at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea and has a Venetian name meaning “trade”, “market”. It was the main commercial Mediterranean port for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and “Triest” is the Austrian/German spelling. At the end of World War 1 it became a Mediterranean port for Italy and “Trieste” is the Italian spelling. The first entire shown was from Trieste to Venice in 1505. Manuscript markings were used until 1782 when the first postmark, a Gothic “Von Triest” hand-stamp came into use and was used until 1786. During the Napoleonic Wars Triest was occupied by the French briefly in1797, then again in 1805 – 1806 and a 1805 letter was shown from a soldier in Napoleon's army writing to his mother asking for money to buy shoes and shirts. Finally the French were there for a longer period from 1809 – 1814 when the coastal region of Istria and Dalmatia, including Trieste (the French spelling) was incorporated into Napoleon's Empire as “Illyrie”. Three different “Trieste/ Illyrie” postmarks were in use at this time and this entire from Spalato to Capodystria via Trieste is the scarcest of the three. 1 DEB./TRIESTE/ILLYRIE “DEB” = Déboursé This scarce mark was to warn that postage was accounted for to Trieste and that postage for forwarding from there to the destination was due.

The task has been one of research, compilation, and abridgment, of a pleasant nature, undertaken during leisure evenings, after official hours spent in duties and undertakings of a kindred description. Numerous authorities have been consulted, and in some important instances, freely borrowed from ; amongst which, may be mentioned, former numbers of the Nautical Magazine, the Journals of the Royal Geographical Society, published accounts of voyages, personal memoirs, hydrographic works, the Naval Chronicle, Marshall, and O'Bymes Naval Biographies, &c.

(December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

From supplying Portsmouth and the navy with cider in the 17th and early 18th centuries through to being the home of several naval establishments during the Second World War, Havant has always played its part in supporting the navy. Even today Portsmouth dockyard, though not with the volume it once was, is a leading employer to the people of the Havant area. With local hi-tec firms such as Lockheed Martin Havant still plays its part in supporting the navy. Because of its close proximity to Portsmouth it is not surprising that many a naval officer chose Havant and its neighbourhood for their homes. Men of the calibre of Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommaney of Warblington House, Emsworth Road, Admiral Sir James Stirling of Belmont Park, Bedhampton, and Vice-Admiral Charles Norcock of Sherwood, East Street, have all at one time chosen to live in Havant.

  • Constructing and Rethinking Montenegrin National Identity
    Nar. umjet. 43/1, 2006, pp. 59-74, N. Čagorović and C. Carmichael, Constructing and… Review Received: 15th Jan. 2006 Accepted: 14th March 2006 UDK 39:94(=1.497.16) NEBOJŠA ČAGOROVIĆ Deputy Ambassador, Embassy of Serbia-Montenegro, Washington D.C. CATHIE CARMICHAEL School of History, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK CONSTRUCTING AND RETHINKING MONTENEGRIN NATIONAL IDENTITY This article looks at the discourse about Montenegrin "personality and culture" (Dinko Tomašić) in the period between the early nineteenth century and the loss of an independent state in 1918. After years of war which has divided Montenegrins from some of their neighbours, the authors suggest that the new Montenegro might benefit from "re- discovering" a more pluralist identity, especially given the number of minorities in the republic, including Muslims. Keywords: Montenegro, romanticism, ethnicity, masculinity In her important book Imagining the Balkans, the Bulgarian historian Maria Todorova observed that in nineteenth century descriptions "the standard Balkan male is uncivilized, primitive, crude, cruel and without exception dishevelled" (Todorova 1997:14).1 However descriptions of Montenegrin men are almost rather different. In the ethnographic writings from the period between the Napoleonic Wars and the formation of the first Yugoslavian state, descriptions of Montenegrins by visitors were often highly "positive" and perpetuated an idea of the men of Montenegro as heroic and independent. In the first decade of the twentieth century, readers of National Geographic

  • SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70 National Library of Scotland George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Thomas John Cochrane (1789-1872), who was born in Edinburgh, was the son of Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane (1758-1832) and his wife Maria. He entered the Royal Navy in 1796 as a volunteer on HMS Thetis, commanded by his father. He was made a lieutenant in 1805 and became a captain within a year. He served in the West Indies in 1807-9, taking part in the capture of the Virgin Islands and Martinique, and in North America in 1811-14. From 1820 to 1824 he commanded HMS Forte on the North America Station. In 1825 Cochrane was appointed the first governor of Newfoundland. After representative government was introduced in 1832, his relations with the colonists worsened and he was eventually recalled by the Colonial Office in 1834. He was a member of the House of Commons from 1839 to 1841. Cochrane was made a rear-admiral in 1841 and in 1842 he was appointed second in command of the East Indies Station. Based in Hong Kong, which had become a British colony following the 1839-40 Opium War, the East Indies Station extended from the Red Sea in the west to the Philippines and New Zealand in the east. When Admiral Sir William Parker returned to England in 1844, Cochrane succeeded him as commander-in-chief. At the same time, the Station was divided into two divisions, with the western (Indian Ocean) division headed by Commodore Sir Henry Blackwood and the China division headed by Cochrane.

  • Persian Gulf Shipmates
    TTHHEEYY SSEERRVVEEDD TTOOGGEETTHHEERR:: PPEERRSSIIAANN GGUULLFF SSHHIIPPMMAATTEESS James Kemp 1. INTRODUCTION Have you ever wondered if any of the men whose medals you have in your collection served with others whose medals you also hold? This is not men who received medals for service in exactly the same ship or regiment during a campaign but those whose paths crossed at some other point in their careers. There is a common theme for this display, the Naval General Service Medal with the clasp Persian Gulf 1909-1914 which was issued exactly 100 years ago this year. This campaign lasted from Oct 1909 to Aug 1914 with vessels patrolling to suppress arms trafficking in the area, primarily to prevent the weapons reaching countries like Afghanistan. In all some fifteen Royal Navy Ships, three Royal India Marine Ships and eight armed launches were deployed. Also small boats from the larger ships were used to carry out independent patrols close in shore. The arms blockade was very effective and reports in ADM 116/1675 show that in excess of 15,700 arms (mainly rifles) and 3.4 million rounds of ammunition were captured. A review of service records shows that a high proportion of the men who served in the Persian Gulf Campaign spent lengthy periods in that area, with many often being posted to other ships and continuing to serve in the same theatre. The Naval General Service Medal was one of the last naval medals issued that includes the name of the man’s ship on the rim. Normally the medals show the final ship that a man served on during the campaign and the highest rank he held.
