  • '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.

First Published - March, 1924 Second Impression - September, 1924 (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED) Made and Printed in Great Britain by Southampton Times Limited, Southampton I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO ALL FRIENDS, WHITE AND BLACK WHO IN VARIOUS WAYS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE MAKING OF IT PREFACE FIRST of all I want to express my gratitude to all those whose very great kindness and sympathy helped, and indeed made possible, one of the most interesting trips I have ever undertaken. Their name is legion, and where so much gratitude is due it would be invidious to particularise, though their names and the memories of them are with me as I write. Secondly, a word to those who, if they read it, may blame the superficiality of this book, who asked me to tell people of the inner rather than of the outer aspects of their colony. The reason is a due sense of my own limitations. Naturally, travelling in the colonies of a race other than my own, I found much that was new and interesting to me in their problems, and in their manner of solving those problems. But though I found very much to admire and even to love, I do not feel qualified to generalise, to make comparisons, or to air my personal opinions in print.

All rights reserved. 89 THE TURKISH-IRANIAN HORSE HAIR FACE-VEIL1 Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood Textile Research Centre, Leiden Willem Vogelsang National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden Horse hair veils in Ottoman Turkey In the early sixteenth century, the Belgian artist and tapestry designer, Pieter Coecke van Aelst (AD 1502-1550), visited Constantinopel/Istanbul to attract work for the Brussels tapestry workshops.2 He arrived at the Turkish Ottoman capital in AD 1533. His stay in Istanbul, however, was not a success and he left the city after about a year. During his stay, he made a number of drawings that were turned into woodcuts and published posthumously by his widow, Mayken Verhulst Bessemers, and called Les Moeurs et Fachons de Faire des Turz.3 These illustrations provide a glimpse of what people were wearing in Istanbul in those days, both men and women. Of particular interest are the face veils. On one of the woodcuts, it is clear that some of the women (servants) wear what came to be called a lisam, namely a length of cloth that was wrapped around the lower half of the face (Fig. 1).4 Another type of face veil, shown in the same illustration and apparently worn by some Istanbul women in addition to the lisam, was a rectangular piece of cloth that was tied around the forehead and hung downwards, over the lisam. From this and other illustrations it seems as if this type of face veil was made of very stiff material, which would indicate the use of horse hair.
