  • The Sharpie –A Personal View 2009

    The Sharpie –A Personal View 2009

    The Sharpie –A Personal View 2009 THE SHARPIE - A PERSONAL VIEW BY MIKE WALLER This article was originally published in Australian Amateur Boat Builder Magazine * * * * * To say that all flat bottomed boats are Sharpies is to say that all animals with four legs are horses. The statement simply does not hold water. It is true that most sharpies have flat bottoms, but the Sharpie is a unique design style which evolved over a specific period of history to fill a particular need, and to which certain well defined rules of design apply. The initial statement also denies the individuality of a multitude of other distinct hull ‘types’ such as the many and varied dory hull forms, skiffs, punts and hunting boats, and ‘near flat bottomed’ boats such as skipjacks, (not all Sharpies have absolutely flat bottoms, for that matter,) which developed in tandem with the Sharpie. A common misconception is that the Sharpie originated in Europe. It is true that many flat bottomed boats have existed in Europe over the years, notably the ‘Metre Sharpies’, but to say that the Sharpie evolved in Europe would make such great figures as Howard Chapelle, the well known maritime historian, turn in his grave. While there will always be differing opinions, the accepted history of the traditional Sharpie as we know it, is that it evolved on the eastern seaboard of the United States of America in the Oyster fisheries of Connecticut. It is largely down to the efforts of Howard Chapelle, who spent a lifetime documenting the development of the simple working boats of the United States, that we can credit most of our current knowledge of the rules and characteristics which define the traditional Sharpie as a distinct vessel style.

    Addendum to CORNISH-WINDSOR BRIDGE HAER No. NH-8 (Page 1)

    Addendum to CORNISH-WINDSOR BRIDGE HAER No. NH-8 (Page 1) Introduction The Cornish-Windsor Bridge, the longest surviving covered bridge in the United States and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world, is a rare example of the notched squared timber Town lattice truss design.1 Built in 1866, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the American Society of Civil Engineers designated it as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1970. One of the objectives of this study was to review and summarize the technical bibliography published about Cornish-Windsor Bridge. Since the bridge has an extraordinary span, its history includes a series of reinforcement, rehabilitation, and preservation issues that are worthy of study. The notched squared timber Town lattice truss is important as it represents a specific solution and modification to a known design to achieve a high load-bearing capacity and a high degree of stiffness, or rigidity, in a long structure. Notched squared timber Town lattice trusses, patented by Ithiel Town in 1839, represent a compromise-based solution by including fitted joints in the lattice. The most frequently cited advantage of the Town lattice trusses was that they did not need specialized carpentry work. Replacing overlapped planks and treenail joints with large-section lumber and notched joints meant that this criterion was not totally respected, though scarf (notched) joints–even if the members met at angles other than 90 degrees–were one of the simplest carpentry joints to make. The early development of wooden truss bridges and a general description of the major types, including the Town lattice truss, has been presented in detail in the history report for this bridge, and in materials listed in the bibliography, so they will not be repeated herein.2 The principal objectives of this study were: • to summarize technical information on notched squared timber Town lattice trusses generally and on Cornish-Windsor Bridge in particular.

    Boatbuilding Materials for Small-Scale Fisheries in India

    BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME BOBP/WP/9 Development of Small-Scale Fisheries (G CP/RAS/040/SWE) BOATBUILDING MATERIALS FOR BOBP/WP/9 SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES IN INDIA Executing Agency: Funding Agency: Food and Agriculture Organisation Swedish International of the United Nations Development Authority Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal Madras, India, October 1980 PREFACE This paper summaries a study on the availability and prices of materials used to construct the hulls of fishing craft for the important small-scale fisheries of the East Coast of India. The paper should be of interest to development planners, legislators and administrators. Builders of fishing craft, suppliers of materials, and owners and prospective owners of fishing craft may also find useful the information on trends in prices and availability of boatbuilding materials and the possibilities of alternative materials. The study covered the following boatbuilding materials: timber for kattumarams and boats; fibre-reinforced plastics; ferrocement; steel; and aluminium, which is used forsheathing wooden hulls and is also a construction material in its own right. The study was carried out by Matsyasagar Consultancy Services Private Limited under contract to the Programme for the Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal, GCP/ RAS/040/SWE (usually abbreviated to the Bay of Bengal Programme). The Programme is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA). The main aims of the Bay of Bengal Programme are to develop and demonstrate technologies by which the conditions of small-scale fishermen and the supply of fish from the small-scale sector may be improved, in five of the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal — Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
