  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.

Recent Dock Extensions at Liverpool, with a General Description of the MerseyDock Estate,the Port of Liverpool,and the RiverMersey.” By GEORGEFOSBERY LYSTER, M. Inst. C.E. THEspecial characteristics of theRiver Mersey, theimportant positionwhich Liverpool occupies among theleading trading centres of the world, and the rapid development of its commerce are, each and all, so interesting to engineers, that in submitting a Paper descriptive of the most recent dock extensions carried out in the port, the Author has been induced to touch upon each of these points, as a fitting preamble to the more formal and precise description of the special works which form the leading features of the Paper. Few, if any, localities, inthis country at all events, are so favourably situatedfor the construction of a comprehensive system of docks as that of Liverpool, not onlyby reason of its geographical position on the seaboard of the country, with its unrivalled water frontage, but also on account of its proximity to the great manu- faeturing districts, as well as to the coal and mineral fields of the North of England and Wales, with which it is linked by railways and canals, which aresuch important factors in thedevelopment and maintenance of successful trading.

  • Royal Marines Reserve and the Career Opportunities the Royal Navy You’Re Probably Available to You
    YOUR ROLE THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET THE PLACES YOU’LL GO RESERVE CAREERSMARINES R OYAL WELCOME For most people, the demands of one job are enough. However, some of you need more of a challenge, and they don’t come much bigger than joining the Royal Marines Reserve. The Royal Marines Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who give the Royal Marines extra manpower in times of peace and humanitarian crisis or war. You’ll be trained to the same standards as the regular Royal Marines, have to pass the same commando tests and, of course, wear the same coveted green beret. The obvious difference is that, as a Reservist, you combine service as a fully-trained Commando with your civilian career. It’s a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. But, the nature of commando training and service means we can’t just take anybody who fancies a challenge. We, and you, have to be absolutely sure it’s the right thing for you and that you’re physically and mentally up to the job. It’s a long, tough road to the green beret. But if you like the idea of travel, sport, adventure and, most importantly, the satisfaction of completing the world’s toughest military training and getting paid for it, this is where it begins. We wish you every success and look forward to welcoming you to the Royal Marines Reserve.

The Manor of Stebunhethe is stated in 1067. the Survey of Doomsday to have been parcel of the ancient demesnes of the Bishopric of London.

At this time, the canal terminus in Liverpool was near Old Leeds Street and consisted of a basin several metres away from and above the nearest docks which were George’s Dock and Basin. These led to the construction of the South Docks of Albert, Salthouse and others further up the river. Due to there being no direct connection between the canal and docks, transhipment of goods from docks to canal and vice versa was a laborious and inefficient task. During development on the Central Docks North down the River Mersey estuary in the mid- 1800s, a flight of four locks was constructed at Stanley Lock Flight to carry canal vessels down to the docks and entered the dock system through Stanley, Collingwood and Salisbury Docks. Here a barge lock was constructed to allow vessels to enter the river.

  • THE BLACKWALL FRIGATES Digitized by Tine Internet Archive
    BASIL LUBBO THE BLACKWALL FRIGATES Digitized by tine Internet Archive in 2008 with funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/blackwallfrigatesOOIubb THE BLACKWALL FRIGATES BY BASIL LUBBOCK Author of "The Ch\na Clippers"; "The Colonial Clippers, "Round the Horn before the Mast"; "Jack Derringer, " a Tale of Deep Water" ; and Deep Sea Warriors" WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND PLANS GLASGOW JAMES BROWN S- SON (Glasgow) Ltd., Publishers 52 TO 58 Darnley Street 1922 v/r Dedication Dedicated to the Blackwall Midshipmite. PREFACE The Blackwall frigates form a connecting link between the lordly East Indiaman of the Honourable John Company and the magnificent P. & O. and Orient liners of the present day. They were first-class ships—well-run, happy ships, and the sailor who started his sea life as a midshipman aboard a Blackwaller looked back ever afterwards to his cadet days as the happiest period of his career. If discipline was strict, it was also just. The train- ing was superb, as witness the number of Blackwall midshipmen who reached the head of their profession and distinguished themselves later in other walks of life. Indeed, as a nursery for British seamen, we shall never see the like of these gallant little frigates. The East still calls, yet its glamour was twice as alluring, its vista twice as romantic, in the days of sail; and happy indeed was the boy who first saw the shores of India from the deck of one of Green's or Smith's passenger ships. Fifty years ago, the lithographs of the celebrated Blackwall liners to India and Australia could be bought at any seaport for a few shillings.
