The Last Grain Race Free FREE THE LAST GRAIN RACE PDF Eric Newby | 352 pages | 06 Nov 2014 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007597833 | English | London, United Kingdom The last grain race | Sailing, Old sailing ships, Sailing ships The Last Grain Race is a book by Eric Newbya travel writer, about his time spent on the four-masted steel barque Moshulu during the vessel's last voyage in the Australian grain trade. In the year-old Newby shipped aboard the four-masted barque Moshulu as an apprentice. His return was around Cape Horn. The Moshulu was at the time one of the largest sailing ships still transporting grain. While was arguably the last Grain race worthy of the name, as it was followed by World War II and the consequent near-total interruption of commercial shipping, commercial sailing ships still sailed the route after the war for two more years in and Newby finds out that his advertising agency, the Wurzel Agency, has lost a lucrative cereal account and he decides to write to Gustav Erikson of Mariehamn for a place on one of his grain ships, having been inspired with The Last Grain Race of the sea by an old family friend, Mr Mountstewart. Much to his surprise, he is accepted by 'Ploddy Gustav', the owner of the largest fleet of square-rigged deep-water sailing vessels in the The Last Grain Race at that time. After fitting himself out with heavy-weather gear, Newby makes his way to Belfast where Moshulu is discharging her cargo in York Dock. He meets some of the crew and they take him The Last Grain Race on a drinking The Last Grain Race, but not before the second mate has ordered him "op the rigging". The ship has a rough passage through the Irish Sea and ten days out they are passing Gibraltar. The ship's forecastle where the crew sleeps is overrun by bugs, including their beds, so they string hammocks with practical jokers cutting the ropes they hang from. By now the crew is getting desperate for any food different from their staple menu and Newby shares his last can of peaches with another crewman, Kroner. On the 34th day, Moshulu crosses the Equator and, along with a bottle of Akvavit from the captain, the new crewmen undergo the initiation ceremony — their heads are covered in tar and red lead. It is at this stage that Newby almost kills himself by not attaching his bosun's chair correctly. He also has to undertake horrific jobs like cleaning the heads the lavatories and doing backstern—washing up for the 20 occupants of the three forecastles. Tension rises as weather conditions worsen, and Newby finally fights Hermansonn, whom Newby is able to smash after ten minutes. Moshulu finally reaches port and the ship is loaded with 60, sacks about tons of grain - "wheat" in America, "corn" elsewhere - at Port Lincoln in South Australia and all the crew go on a bender since they at last receive their measly pay. The ship sails on to Port Victoria and the crew have to offload the ballast on the outer-ballast grounds, working amidst the stench of two dead dog carcasses that the Belfast stevedores had kindly included. The ship finally leaves Australia The Last Grain Race 11 March and Newby's new job, given to him by the First Mate who dislikes him, is to muck out the pigsties of four large pigs—"dose brodders of yours". Moshulu is prepared to meet the Southern Ocean and Newby at last experiences some real storms as the sea washes over the deck and the crew have to deal with flapping sails perched high up in the The Last Grain Race. We were cold and wet, and yet too excited to sleep It was not only their height that was impressive but their length. Between the greatest of them there was a distance that could only be estimated in relation to The Last Grain Race ship, as much as four times her entire length, or nearly a The Last Grain Race of a mile. At this height, feet up, in a wind blowing 70 miles an hour, the noise was an unearthly scream. Above me was the naked topgallant yard and above that again the royal to which I presently climbed As they round Cape Hornthe crew have become bored by the desolation around them and engage in a tug-of-war competition from which Newby emerges victorious. Having passed Cape Horn and The Last Grain Race Falkland Islandsthe crew start to realize they are making a record-breaking passage. The crew are now becoming famished, having to eat 'Buffelo' boiled salt beef the whole time cooked by the The Last Grain Race. However, life becomes easier with the return of the Trades but then Moshulu becomes becalmed. They finally cross the Line and are given a huge rum ration which they find difficult to get through, and spirits are lifted when they think they have caught a shark but it The Last Grain Race the hook. The last pig, Filamon, is slaughtered and the crew eat so much pork that it wreaks havoc with their stomachs. The Last Grain Race of beating Parma's record of 83 days to Falmouth vanish as they believe the calms north of the line may have been too much for Moshulu. As she approaches Fastnet, the ship is approached by five men in a rowing boat to whom they give presents and they also receive some lobsters from a smack. On 27 June, the ship is warped with difficulty into Queen's Dock, Glasgow. Today steel, square-rigged sailing ships no longer trade the oceans of the world. Gustav Erikson of MariehamnFinland was the last man to own a great fleet of sailing ships and Newby relates that he never met any foremast hand who liked 'Ploddy Gustav'. Originally, as a boy of nine, he had gone to sea in a sailing vessel engaged in the North Sea timber trade. At the age of nineteen he got his first command in the North Sea, and after that spent six years in deep-water sail as a mate. From to he was master of a number of square-rigged vessels before becoming an owner. By the s, the grain trade from South The Last Grain Race to Europe was the last enterprise in which square- riggers could engage with any real hope of profit, and then only if the owner had a keen interest in reducing running costs. As Newby notes, Erikson had to pay his crews as little as possible and he could not afford to insure ships, but he also had The Last Grain Race maintain them at such a standard that they were rated A1 at Lloyd's. From Newby's own description he was a formidable character:. He was respected and feared as a man over whose eyes no wool could be pulled by the masters The Last Grain Race he employed to sail his ships, and the tremors they felt were passed down to the newest joined apprentice. Of such stuff discipline is made. A now out-moded word, but sailing ships do not stay afloat and make fast passages at the pleasure of a committee of seamen. The work of handling large acreages of sail was very heavy, even for men and boys with strong constitutions. Bending a complete set of fair- weather canvas was no easy job, and sail changing was always done four times on a voyage as a ship entered and left the Trade Winds.

  • Clipper Ships: the Appeal of Sail by Garry Victor Hill
    1 Clipper Ships: The Appeal of Sail by Garry Victor Hill Plate 1 The Ariel. By Jack Spurling (1870-1933) Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=14917880 The painting above captures exactly the breathtaking appeal of clipper ships. The azure sky with slight traces of pure white from thin clouds and the matching white foam and white sails with a touch of pale blue contrast with the dark, but vibrant blue waves. The ship, Ariel does not seem to plough through the waves so much as conquer them through 2 sleek cuts, while her billowing sails soar like clouds. The scene gives a feeling of optimism, even exuberance: clippers often did that. They were loved by owners, passengers and crews, by those who depicted them, artists, photographers and writers, even tattooists and their customers; everybody had obvious reasons. They epitomise the age of sail, but their peak years only came to two decades, 1849 to 1869. The years of their emergence and decline came to several decades. Their essential hull design was first used in Chesapeake Bay late in the eighteenth century, but these were smaller ships, closer to schooners than the later larger great clippers of the late 1830s and after. In both their sleek hull design, their narrow cutting bow, the outlay of their sails and their size they had much in common with schooners. There were strong and obvious differences: schooners were much smaller and usually had only two masts which were not even half the height of those on clippers. Schooner sails were smaller and fewer in number, and were positioned parallel to the hull, not crossways to it, as on clippers These early clippers would take part in military operations in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, sometimes as privateers, more often as smugglers and messengers.1 In peacetime they would be involved in Chesapeake trade and transportation.

  • TARS Library Catalogue
    TARS Library The main purpose of TARS is 'to celebrate and promote the life and woks of Arthur Ransome', and a big part of that is the Society's own Library, with over 1000 books and other material. There are books written about his life, including the time he spent in Russia, reporting about events during the Revolution, and about his early life and how he came to be a writer in the first place. Ransome was the very first winner of the Carnegie Medal awarded by the Library Association (now CILIP) for an outstanding children's book, with Pigeon Post in 1937. The Medal is still presented every year, and we have every single winning book, right up to the present: almost a unique collection. We also have many other children's books, old and new, as well as the Swallows and Amazons series in several different languages. Arthur Ransome had so many interests and he owned books on all of them, and the Library has books on all of those subjects too – sailing, of course, fishing, natural history, crime novels, books by his favourite authors, such as Robert Louis Stevenson (a complete collection of his works) the Lake District, the Norfolk Broads, and even chess! Truly something for everyone, so why not take a look at the complete list here? Then, when you have joined TARS, there are a number of ways you can borrow a book: by e-mailing or writing to the Librarian and having it posted to you – you only need pay the return postage; by visiting the wonderful Moat Brae, home of Peter Pan, in Dumfries and arranging to see the actual Library there; or by attending the no less wonderful Literary Weekends, once every 2 years (next in 2021), where there is always a wide selection of books from the Library to browse.
