Index to the Captains Register of Lloyds of London Index to the Captains Registers of Lloyd’s of London: Y (CLC/B/148/B/019/ MS18567) London Metropolitan Archives Introduction This document contains an alphabetical index to the Lloyds of London Captains registers which are held at London Metropolitan Archives (LMA). The Registers give details of the careers as captain and/or mate, on those vessels whose voyage details were transmitted to Lloyd's of London, of merchant sea captains who held British or British colonial master's certificates. By no means were all Captains British citizens. For further details please see LMA information leaflet 'Lloyd's of London "Captains Registers" and related sources', available from the LMA website. These indexes are for the series CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567, covering the years 1869 (retrospective to 1851 for those masters and mates still sailing in 1869)-1911; captains still active after that date will be found in later series held at LMA which are not covered by these indexes. The indexes may also be consulted in LMA's Information Area. The indexes list captains by name, noting variants given, followed by date and place of birth, also noting variants. The certificate number, and its place and date of award, if known, are listed, with a note of changes in the number and the volume in which this first occurs. Not all this information is found in every volume: in some entries a captain may be known only by his initials, or his birthplace may be listed in a partial form. If information of this kind, such as date of birth, is not given in the indexes, it is not to be found in the original. Cross-references in the text of the indexes indicate names spelt in more than one way in different volumes, but this is not exhaustive, and all possible spelling variants should be checked. Where two entries are recorded in the same volume for a particular individual, both should be checked, as they often contain information about different voyages. Additional qualifications are given (such as "Steam", which entitled the holder also to captain steam vessels, or "Steamships", whose holders could captain only such vessels), followed by the date of award if known. The indexes also list the volume numbers within the series CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567 in which the captain appears, with a note of the years for which voyage details are given. Dates of death, 2 suspensions, and cancellations of certificates are sometimes given in the original Registers, but have not been included in these indexes.

  • The Earliest Locomotives and Railways
    The Earl i est Rai l ways The first railroads in Britain were in the 18th century coal mines, where horses pulled mine carts from the pits to the factories along wooden tracks. Later, in 1807, the first railway to carry passengers was opened. It was called the Oystermouth Railway and horses pulled carriages along tracks from Swansea to Oystermouth in South Wales. The Earl i est Rai l ways Thomas Saver y Thomas Savery (1650 – 1715) invented and made one of the f irst ever st eam engines in 1698. This engine was used to pump water out of the coal mines, but unfortunately it had a number of problems and did not work as well as everyone hoped. However, t his early st eam engine design helped other engineers and inventors to develop more successful engines in the future. The Earl i est Rai l ways James Watt James Watt (1736 – 1819) was a Scottish engineer who worked to improve the earliest steam engines like that of Thomas Savery. Watt’s desi gns and i deas were ver y successf ul . Af t er Wat t ret ired in 1800, many ot her engineers and inventors continued to work on and improve on this early steam engine design. The power of the steam engine was soon about to completely change travel and transport in the United Kingdom and around the world. Did you K now ? The unit of enery ‘the watt’ was named after James Wat t and he invent ed t he t erm ‘horsepower ’. The Fi rst St eam Engi ne Locomotives locomotive Soon engineers were creating train steam engine locomotives using new steam engine technologies which were quickly developing.

He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history.

    A CENTURY OF STEAM RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT SIR HENRY THORNTON ALTHOUGH the year 1925 is generally accepted as marking the hundredth anniversary of steam railways, and September 27th is the date actually observed, railroads and the use of steam as a means of locomotion came into being over twenty years before 1825. In fact, it is recorded that as early as the year 1530 crude rails were used for the convenience of the trams in which ore was hauled in the mines of the Tyrol. Ask the average person who invented the steam locomotive, and the immediate answer will be "Stephenson." Ask him whether it was George or Robert, and an element of doubt will at once arise in his mind. Mention the name of Trevithick, and unless he has made a thorough study of railroads and their development he will tell you he never heard of the name. Yet Richard Trevithick and his cousin Andrew Vivian built the first locomotive which successfully hauled a train, and they put it into operation in February, 1804. Even ask many railroad men the name of the first railroad, and the answer will be the Stockton & Darlington, the hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of whose service was September 27th of this year. But even this is incorrect. The Stockton & Darlington Railway's distinction lies in the fact that it was the first railway to carry both passengers arid freight, and for that reason modern steam railroading is dated from the opening of this company's service between Stockton and Darlington. The operation of Trevithick's locomotive between Merthyr Tydvil and the Aberdare Canal at Abercynon, nearly twenty-one years before, had been exclusively for hauling freight and mine products, while other steam railways previous to the opening of the Stockton & Darlington were used for similar purposes.

  • The Railway Revolution
    Transactions – October 2019 North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers Founded 1852 Royal Charter 1876 The Railway Revolution Les Turnbull BA MEd MNEIMME A joint lecture between NEIMME and the Stephenson Locomotive Society Les Turnbull is a modern historian who has worked as a schoolmaster, university lecturer and senior educational advisor. He has served as a volunteer and trustee at the Institute over the last two decades and is the author of several books on mining history. His latest book ‘The Railway Revolution’[1] has made a study of the transfer from road to rail transport in the seventeenth century which was the first railway revolution. Drawing primarily upon sources from the archives of the Institute and those of the Duke of Northumberland, he argues for a new interpretation of railway history and demonstrates that the first railway revolution occurred many years before the George and Robert Stephenson came on the scene; thereby revaluating what is usually regarded as the railway revolution of early Victorian times as in fact the second revolution. Copies of the book can be obtained from the Institute bookshop at: mininginstitute.org.uk The opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, followed by the building of the first inter-city railways between Liverpool and Manchester and London and Birmingham, earned George Stephenson the title of ‘father of the railways’. These events formed the basis of the traditional view that the railway revolution occurred in the mid nineteenth century which is embodied in the national curriculum of our schools and the national psyche of the country at large.

  • Names in Multi-Lingual
    Richard Coates, England 209 A Natural History of Proper Naming in the Context of Emerging Mass Production: The Case of British Railway Locomotives before 1846 Richard Coates England Abstract The early history of railway locomotives in Britain is marked by two striking facts. The first is that many were given proper names, even where there was no objective need to distinguish them in such a way. The second is that those names tended strongly to suggest essential attributes of the machines themselves, sometimes real as in the case of Puffing Billy, or metaphorical or mythologized as in the cases of Rocket and Vulcan. However when, before long, locomotives came to be produced to standard types, namegiving remained the norm for at least some types but the names themselves tended to be typed, and naturally in a less constrained way than earlier ones. The later onymic types veered sharply away from being literally or metaphorically descriptive. The sources of these second-order onymic types are of some interest, both culturally and anthropologically, and some types tended to be of very long currency in Britain. This paper explores the early history of namegiving in an underexplored area, and proposes a general model for the evolution of name-bestowal practices. *** In this paper, I offer an analysis of the names given to steam railway locomotives in Britain between the creation of the first such machine in 1803–4 and the year 1846, chosen semi- arbitrarily as the cut-off date because of the introduction in 1845–6 of the innovative engines designed by Thomas Crampton.

    ROBERT STEPHENSON A GREAT 19 TH CENTURY ENGINEER EARLY YEARS Robert Stephenson was born in a small cottage in Willington Quay, a few miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne, on October 16th 1803. His father was the now famous George Stephenson. At this time George was a brakesman at Ballast Hills Colliery, Willington Quay working on low-pressure stationary engines. In 1804 Richard Trevithick, the Cornish inventor of the high-pressure steam engine visited the area and called on the Stephensons in their small house. In that same year the Stephensons moved to a cottage in Paradise Row, West Moor near Killingworth because George had accepted work as a brakesman at the West Moor colliery which was owned by the Grand Allies (an alliance of powerful coal-owning families formed in 1726). Richard Trevithick continued to visit the Stephensons and in 1805 he demonstrated one of his new locomotives at Whinfi eld’s Pipewellgate works in Gateshead. Unfortunately in the same year Robert’s sister died and in 1806 his mother died. George was so upset he moved to Montrose and took up work there but he left Robert with Ann Snaith, George’s housekeeper. In 1808 Ann Snaith married Robert’s uncle also named Robert. George returned to Killingworth and set up a business to repair low pressure stationary engines and also went back to work as a brakesman. Robert Stephenson • History Cottage at Willington Quay, North Tyneside SCHOOL DAYS Robert was sent to school at Longbenton in 1810 because his father wanted him to be a “viewer” (mining engineer) in the mines and he was determined that Robert would have a proper education.

  • George Stephenson
    George Stephenson Early Life. On the 9th June 1781 in a small stone labourer’s cottage in Wylam, a few miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne, George Stephenson was born. The cottage was called High Street House, its location being on the old road between Wylam and Newburn. Although it had four rooms the Stephenson family occupied a single ground floor room. The colliery waggonway ran past the front of the house so it must have been a noisy location. George was the second son and he was followed by a further two brothers and a sister, all born within a few years of each other. Their father Robert was a Scotsman and he was employed as engine fireman at the nearby Wylam Colliery. He earned 12 shillings (60p) a week so the family were not exactly well-off. His mother Mabel was born into a family who came from the nearby village of Ovingham where her father George Carr was a dyer. In his younger years George would be familiar with the comings and goings along the nearby waggonway and it is likely that he came to recognise the men and horses which pulled the coal chaldrons (wagons). He would also have visited the colliery on a number of occasions even if it was only to take his father’s lunch bait (sandwiches). On the way to the colliery he would have passed another small cottage, the home of the Hackworth family, near to the colliery workshops. It was here that John Hackworth the foreman colliery blacksmith worked. It was in this small cottage that his son Timothy was born in December 1786 and it is remarkable how the lives of both George and Timothy would in later years become intertwined in the construction of locomotives.
