While good personal relations can keep an alliance operating smoothly, it is often military necessity (and the threat of grand strategic failure) that forces important compro- mises.

  • 447 the Royal Naval Hospital Cemetery at English Harbour

    447 the Royal Naval Hospital Cemetery at English Harbour

    The Royal Naval Hospital cemetery at English Harbour, Antigua: Not Just the “Grave of the Englishman” Tamara Varney Lakehead University Abstract: In his many publications, Desmond Nicholson frequently wrote about the important role that African slaves played in Antiguan history including the he King’s Negroes, slaves owned by the Navy that filled key skilled roles in the Dockyard at English Harbour. Some of these individuals are thought to be among the interred at the nearby Royal Naval Hospital cemetery (c. 1793-1822). Study of the recovered remains of 30 individuals indicates that it was a non-segregated cemetery. Individuals identified as having African ancestry based on cranio- facial features also exhibited occupational stress markers of the skeleton and had dietary signatures (based on stable isotope analysis) that are consistent with the roles that slaves occupied in the Dockyard. Their diet separated them from both the white interred individuals in the cemetery and those of slaves from plantation cemeteries on neighbouring islands emphasizing the special niche of these individuals in terms of their status. Résumé: Dans ses nombreuses publications, Desmond Nicholson a fréquemment écrit au sujet du rôle important que les esclaves Africains ont joué dans l'histoire antiguaise incluant les Nègres du Roi et les esclaves possédés par la Marine qui ont rempli des rôles habiles principaux du Chantier Naval au Port Anglais. Certains de ces individus sont pensés d’être parmi ceux qui sont enterrés au cimetière de l’hôpital de la Marine Royale avoisinant (c. 1793-1822). L'étude des restes récupérés de 30 individus indique que c'était un cimetière non-séparé.

DENNETT, PRINTER, UNION BUILDINGS, LEATHER LANE. iii PREFACE. The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.
