Patrick VILLIERS NORMANDIE Le musée Quesnel-Morinière de Coutances a présenté, du 13 juillet au 14 octobre 2007, une exposition de documents originaux Le Capitaine Bravoure : Jean Lhermitte (1766-1826) . Maquettes de navires, tableaux de combats navals, cartes géographiques anciennes, instruments de navigation, armes, lettres autographes reconstituent la carrière de ce marin d’exception. D’abord embarqué sur un corsaire granvillais, il sillonne toutes les mers du monde pour le compte du Royaume, de la République et de l’Empire, jusqu’à sa dernière fonction de préfet maritime de Toulon. L’éventail et la qualité des pièces originales, présentées selon une excellente muséographie, en font une éloquente exposition sur l’histoire d’un demi-siècle de transformation de l’activité maritime. Un catalogue et des feuillets pédagogiques accompagnent l’exposition. BRETAGNE SERVICE HISTORIQUE DE LA DÉFENSE, DÉPARTEMENT MARINE A BREST D’après une information publiée dans la presse brestoise, le Service historique de la Marine de Brest fermerait ses portes, sur décision ministérielle. Les archives antérieures à 1945 seraient transférées à Lorient et/ou à Rochefort, la bibliothèque vraisemblablement à Paris. Les chercheurs bretons, les étudiants et les enseignants du département d'histoire de l'UBO se mobilisent pour empêcher ce transfert. Ils déplorent le départ annoncé, d’ici 3 ans, de cette importante partie du patrimoine présent à Brest depuis plus de 250 ans. MÉDITERRANÉE CARTOTHÈQUE MÉDITERRANÉENNE La cartothèque méditerranéenne est un programme de documentation cartographique développé par la Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme (MMSH, UMS du CNRS) d’Aix-en-Provence. 9 9 9 10 À travers un site web (http://cartomed.mmsh.univ-aix.fr) et la publication de DVD, ce programme propose : - un répertoire des documents publiés, - un catalogue collectif pour un réseau ouvert de partenaires, - des reproductions. Ce programme est tout d’abord consacré aux documents composés en séries, leur présentation est organisée de manière à en faciliter la recherche à travers une interface graphique et des tableaux d’assemblage. La masse documentaire est considérable et très dispersée à travers de nombreuses collections ; malgré le soutien de plusieurs établissements tels que la BNF et l’IGN, son traitement dépasse les moyens matériels et humains du programme.

  • From the Early Settlements to Reconstruction
    The Laird Rams: Warships in Transition 1862-1885 Submitted by Andrew Ramsey English, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History, April 2016. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) Andrew Ramsey English (signed electronically) 1 ABSTRACT The Laird rams, built from 1862-1865, reflected concepts of naval power in transition from the broadside of multiple guns, to the rotating turret with only a few very heavy pieces of ordnance. These two ironclads were experiments built around the two new offensive concepts for armoured warships at that time: the ram and the turret. These sister armourclads were a collection of innovative designs and compromises packed into smaller spaces. A result of the design leap forward was they suffered from too much, too soon, in too limited a hull area. The turret ships were designed and built rapidly for a Confederate Navy desperate for effective warships. As a result of this urgency, the pair of twin turreted armoured rams began as experimental warships and continued in that mode for the next thirty five years. They were armoured ships built in secrecy, then floated on the Mersey under the gaze of international scrutiny and suddenly purchased by Britain to avoid a war with the United States.

    In Peril on the Sea – Episode Eleven Chapter 3 CHRONICLE OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY 3 THE FIRST MONTHS OF WAR, 1939-1940 “Top hats being trampled:” The Volunteer Reserve mobilizes, 1939 The RCNVR mobilized well before Canada declared war on 10 September 1939 and most trained personnel were immediately sent to Halifax or Esquimalt. As recruiting began for wartime service, there were shortages of everything except men. Sub Lieutenant Jack Anderson, RCNVR, recalls the first months of the war at HMCS York, the RCNVR Division in Toronto: We had absolutely nothing, we started completely from scratch. We had no uniforms in stores, or any sort of equipment whatsoever, except for a few old Lee-Enfield rifles and the twelve-pounder gun. …… We asked about uniforms for the men and Ottawa said, “There won’t be any available until the spring of 1940.” I knew the contracts had been let to Tip Top Tailors in Toronto. So I went down and saw the general manager, whom I had known previously when I was at Eaton’s, and he made a special effort and said that when these 100 men were assembled in Toronto, send them down and he would personally kit them up with jumpers and trousers. I got a hundred pair of new black boots from Eaton’s. I got a hundred caps from Muir Cap Company, who also had received a contract to produce sailors’ caps. …… We found ourselves at the Division, completely trapped without any transportation. So, in discussion with the Captain and some of the other officers, we decided to hold a naval ball to raise funds.

  • Canadian Ships by Call Sign for Radiotelegraph
    Canadian Ships by Call Sign for Radiotelegraph There are errors in this list simply because it is impossible to make a list like this error free. If you note an error please contact me so that I can correct the error. I have no idea why one cannot make a list like this error free. This is a list of the two, three and four letter call signs Canada assigned to ships during the years radiotelegraph was in use. This is simply the list of those I have found and those I had to work with over the years. I have XJAG listed after radiotelegraph just to show that Canada is now assigning ship calls from those blocks of call signs. I have also listed the Orca, Kingston and CPF naval ships simply because I have them. They were created after radiotelegraph. Some of the Canadian naval ships were called Canadian but were actually commissioned as Royal Navy ships. I have included ships that were not registered in Canada but had Canadian crews. There are a few Canadian ships that I have been unable to identify. In other words this is a list of the ships I have found that were assigned these call signs over the years. This list is in alphabetical order. The two and three letter call signs were the first in use from 1904 until 1923. The International Telecommunication Union had assigned sufficient blocks of these call signs to Canada over the years so that Canada could have assigned a four character call sign to every vessel of every size registered in Canada.
