Set up, electrotyped, and published April, 1904. Norwood Press Smith Co, J. S. Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Norwood^ Mass.f U.S.A. INTRODUCTION In spite of the utilitarian tendencies of the present age, it is fortunately no longer necessary to argue in behalf of sport; even the busiest of busy Americans have at last learned the neces- sity for a certain amount of relaxation and rec- reation, and that the best way to these lies in the pursuit of some form of outdoor sport. While each has its stanch adherents, who pro- claim its superiority to all others, the sport of yachting can perhaps show as much to its credit as any. As a means to perfect physical development, one great point in all sports, it has the advantage of being followed outdoors in the bracing atmos- phere of the sea; and while it involves severe physical labor and at times actual hardships, it fits its devotees to withstand and enjoy both. In the matter of competition, the salt and savor of all sport, yachting opens a wide and varied field. In cruising there is a constant strife 219316 vi Introduction with the elements, and in racing there is the contest of brain and hand against those of equal adversaries.

  • An Investigation Into British Neutrality During the American Civil War 1861-65
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRITISH NEUTRALITY DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-65 BY REBECCA CHRISTINE ROBERTS-GAWEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MA by Research Department of History University of Birmingham November 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis sought to investigate why the British retained their policy of neutrality throughout the American Civil War, 1861-65, and whether the lack of intervention suggested British apathy towards the conflict. It discovered that British intervention was possible in a number of instances, such as the Trent Affair of 1861, but deliberately obstructed Federal diplomacy, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This thesis suggests that the British public lacked substantial and sustained support for intervention. Some studies have suggested that the Union Blockade of Southern ports may have tempted British intervention. This thesis demonstrates how the British sought and implemented replacement cotton to support the British textile industry. This study also demonstrates that, by the outbreak of the Civil War, British society lacked substantial support for foreign abolitionists’’ campaigns, thus making American slavery a poorly supported reason for intervention.

The son of a mining engineer, Ericsson showed an early interest in mechanics. By the age of ten, he had designed and constructed a miniature sawmill and by 13, he was a cadet in the Swedish navy. By the age of 17, he entered the Swedish army, joining as an ensign in the 23rd. Corps, a specialized engineering unit for the army. While serving in the army, Ericsson became interested in steam engines and developed the theory for his caloric engine, which operated on the principle that air heated to very high temperature could be used to drive engines. In 1826 Ericsson published a paper on his work to develop a caloric engine. That year he demonstrated his invention to the British Society of Civil Engineers. Although the engine failed in the demonstration, Ericsson impressed the English engineer John Braithwaite. Braithwaite was impressed with the young Swede's determination and offered him a position as a partner in his firm.

HISTORICAL SKETCH The Continental Works of Greenpoint (now Brooklyn), NY is the successor to Samuel Sneden & Company, which was owned in partnership by Sneden and his talented young engineer Thomas Fitch Rowland. In less than a year after its formation, the partnership was dissolved and Rowland acquired the plant and business. He was a native of Connecticut, born in 1831 at New Haven, and after leaving school had been employed by the New York and New Haven Railroad. Rowland had also practiced engineering and mechanics and had done drafting and designing work. When he became proprietor of the Continental Works, he built the water pipe across High Bridge in New York and did other important iron work. When, in 1861, John Ericsson won the contract from the US Navy to design a floating battery with a revolving turret, an invention that would revolutionize the art of naval warfare and demonstrate the value of armored vessels, he chose Rowland to build it. Monitor, the first such vessel ever completed, was built in the yard of the Continental Works in a little more than three months, and was launched January 30, 1862.

  • Jwilburdiary
    Julia Wilbur: Part 2 The Civil War Years in Alexandria and Washington, DC (October 1862-1865) Diaries Transcribed and Annotated by Paula T. Whitacre For Alexandria Archaeology The diaries of Julia Wilbur are part of the Quaker & Special Collections at Haverford College Library, Collection No. 1158. The photo used on the cover is part of the collection. I undertook this project for the Alexandria Archaeology Museum and Friends of Alexandria Archaeology. The Archaeology staff have been very helpful as they see the value in having these pages in one place, transcribed and searchable. I thank the Haverford Library and especially Diana Peterson and Ann Upton for helping me access the originals of the diaries, and the librarians in the Alexandria Library Local History Room for their assistance in helping me access microfilmed copies. Anna Lynch, volunteer, Alexandria Archaeology, provided a second read for most of the entries, helping to decipher some of the penmanship and editing my transcription. Jill Grinsted, another Alexandria Archaeology volunteer, transcribed November-December 1865 and proofread the whole. Laura Bonomini, Laura Hellwig, and Skyler Padia, students in Dr. Pamela Cressey’s Historical Archaeology course at George Washington University in Spring 2013, transcribed November 1864 through October 1865. Pam was the City Archaeologist who first suggested I take on this project and had helpful information throughout. The uncertainties that persist are represented with a question mark within brackets—[?]. Further comments from the transcriber are italicized. Wilbur often used an abbreviation for the word “and” that is someplace between a “&” and a “&” that we have transcribed with “&”. Also, she used this symbol, combined with “c” that we have transcribed as “&c.” based on its context.
