Influence of the Spatial Pressure Distribution of Breaking Wave

(2019), Antonini et al. (2019). Due to the peculiar bathymetries and topographies of rock pinnacles, there is no dedicated formula to properly quantify the loads induced by the breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses. Wienke’s formula (Wienke and Oumeraci (2005) was used in this study to estimate the loads, even though it was not derived for breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses, but rather for the breaking wave loading on offshore monopiles. -
'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum. -

REPRESENTING SPORT & RECREATIONAL AVIATION IN THE SOUTHWEST www.devonstrut.co.uk DEVON STRUT NEWS - OCTOBER 2007 Welcome to the Devon Strut: Co-ordinator’s Comments by Pete White Our fly-in season has drawn to a close and fortunately the weather had been kinder towards the end, enabling both Belle Vue and Watchford Farm fly-ins to enjoy a healthy selection of visitors. Although my beloved mount ‘IVOR the wings’, is still hangar bound for an engine rebuild, I have been fortunate to either hitch a lift to events with friends or use the 1941 Aeronca 65CA NC33884 that I have been ‘keeping warm’ for Phil Brewer whilst he is back home in Tucson. Although my hours will be a little down on normal this year, I have the prospects of our group enjoying a ‘new’ engine soon and catching up on my IVOR time. These jobs always take longer than you hope and, if nothing else, you learn to be patient and earn brownie points that can be used at a later date. The PFA AGM on the 1st and the NC meeting on the 15th September have helped pave the way for what will be the new, revised and reworked Association which we will all in time get used to calling the LAA. Another current issue is the return of a single rally, ideal if the finances can be nailed and a site found with lower costs. My personal preference is for the one grand meeting for all and if this is achievable within the set parameters and budget I would be ‘waving that flag’ with great enthusiasm. -

THE NEW EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE. [Minutes Of
20 DOUGLASS ON THE NEW EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE. [Minutes of 27 November, 1863. JANES BRUNLEES, F.R.S.E., President, in the Chair, (Paper No. 1960.) The New Eddystone Lighthouse.” By WILLIAM TREOARTHENI)OUGLASS, Assoc. N. Inst. C.E. INa notesubmitted to the Institution by Sir James Douglass, M. Inst. C.E., during the sessionof 1877-78, the necessity was explained for the substitution of a new lighthouse for Smeaton’s famous structure,which, haying withstood the storms of more than a centurywith incalculableadvantage to mankind, was stated tobe “in a fairstate of efficiency; but,unfortunately, the portion of the gneiss rock on which it is founded has been seriously shaken by the incessant heavy sea-strokes on the tower, and the rock is considerably undermined at its base. Unfortu- nately, the waves rise, during stormy weather, considerablyabove the summit of the lantern, thus frequentlyeclipsing the light, and altering its distinctivecharacter.”l The latter defect was of little importance for many years after the erection of Smeaton’s light- house, whenindividuality had not been givento coast-lights, and no signal-lightswere carried byshipping; but with the numerous coast- and ship-lights now visible every night on the seas surrounding this country, a reliable distinctive character for every coast-light has become a matter of absolute necessity. The Trinity House having in 1877 determined on the erection of a newlighthouse, theirEngineer-in-Chief was instructed to survey the site and submit a design for the proposed structure (Plate 2), togetherwith an estimate of the cost, including the removal of theupper portion of Smeaton’s lighthouse,namely, that above the level of the top of the solid work, such removal being necessary forthe securityof the lower portion. -

CHAPTER CHATTER July/August th Happy 4 Save the Date - NELL Fall Meeting The fall meeting will be 10th-11th September in New London Connecticut. Information to follow Don’t Forget – National Lighthouse Day – 8th August Membership summary for 2015 - 2016 We ended 2015 with 188 members. Three new members joined NELL in 2015. Two NELL members passed away in 2015: they are Marlene Grant and Pat Bandock. To date we have 176 members. We have nine new members this year. This is six more than we had last year at the same time. Three members from previous years have rejoined NELL. This includes Spring Point Ledge Light in South Portland Maine. 22 members did not join from 2015. Here are the number of members in the top six states: Connecticut - 34, Massachusetts - 32, New Jersey -19, Maine & New York -15 and Pennsylvania -13 The 2016 membership directory will be sent out by email and USPS (for those who do not have email), by end of June. Walter Mills, Membership Len Hadley Volunteerism Award The American Lighthouse Foundation’s “Len Hadley Volunteerism Award” was named after Len Hadley, one of the original volunteers of the organization in 1994. Len possessed a wonderful personality and ability to connect with others, and was a stellar volunteer for a number of ALF projects throughout the years. The vital pillar in supporting the American Lighthouse Foundation’s success in preservation, education and public access programs over the past seventeen years has undeniably been the dedication of ALF volunteers such as Len Hadley. When Len sadly passed away in October 2000 the ALF board of directors honored his uncommon dedication to volunteerism by naming an award after him that would recognize other outstanding ALF volunteers for the same passion, selflessness and commitment to lighthouse preservation for which Len stood for. -
