  • Low Water Men
    LOW WATER MEN A novel by William Gasston The British Channel Islands lie in the Bay of St Malo, just south of the Cherbourg peninsula closer to France than England. In 1940 the Germans invaded the islands and thus began five years of purgatory for the local population. 1 First published in February 2018 by William Gasston Cover, page design and overall production by William Gasston Copywright William Gasston All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without prior permission of William Gasston. Disclaimer Low Water Men is a work of fiction which has been based on historical fact. Except for some historical wartime leaders, the characters are all figments of the author's imagination . Any similarity with any living person is coincidental. Acknowledgements Many thanks must go to the Jersey Evening Post for their permission in being able to reproduce the text of the orders of the German High Command during the Occupation. I am deeply indebted to Peter and Verity Cruickshank of Jersey who have been a major source of information, their family and friends being low water fisherfolk since long before the war. Thanks also to my good friend Phil Greaves of Lambley, Nottingham, England who undertook the edit and encouraged me to push on. Website Whatever you think about the pros and cons of the internet, it is probably( up to now!) the major game changer of the twenty first century. It disseminates information and opinions faster than a speeding bullet. I have set up www.lowwatermen.com so that any reader, who has been kind enough to peruse and enjoy my story, could access information regarding the Channel Islands and the German Occupation.

  • Lighthouses on World Paper Money
    LIGHTHOUSES ON WORLD PAPER MONEY By Miguel Chirinos IBNS #5992; NC-IBNS #3; LANSA #1252, ANA; NCNA Lighthouses on World Paper Money by Miguel Chirinos for NC-IBNS INTRODUCTION For several years I have had the wonderful opportunity to visit the coast of North Carolina where there is one of the most famous landmarks in America. It is located north of Cape Hatteras Point on the Outer Banks and near the site of the 1585 “Lost Colony” of Roanoke, which mysteriously disappeared in this beautiful natural area. On the Outer Banks, the coast changes ominously. North Carolina’s treacherous shore in the Cape Hatteras region has been called the “Graveyard of the Atlantic”. Long, thin barrier reefs run out to a point at Cape Hatteras, then turn sharply southwest to Cape Lookout. Farther south the entrance to Wilmington is marked by surf crashing on the menacing rocks of Cape Fear, a place where hurricanes strikes with savage force. The need for lighthouses became more apparent during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, after the voyages made by Columbus, Magellan and others. The great distances covered by European vessels were essentially unguided as they sailed into unknown waters. I can imagine these pioneers, turning back one last time before embarking on these great voyages, then thinking of the vast expanse of ocean, the countries and peoples they were to leave behind. The consequences of these long journeys, made by water with little navigation aids was extremely dangerous work. Lighthouses were far 1 Lighthouses on World Paper Money by Miguel Chirinos for NC-IBNS apart, there were no public buoys to guide the mariner, and almost nothing had been done to improve navigation.
