Ian Morrison, Inspector of Ancient Monuments and Fachtna McAvoy, the Project Officer, provided guidance and support throughout, advice and help was also given by Vanessa Straker, South-West Regional Scientific Officer, Ian Oxley, Head of Maritime Archaeology, Annabel Lawrence, Archaeologist (Maritime) and Dave Hooley of the Characterisation Team. Help with the historical research was provided by various individuals and organisations, in particular: Amanda Martin and Sarnia Butcher of the Isles of Scilly Museum; Sophia Exelby, Receiver of Wreck; Sandra Gibson of Gibsons of Scilly; Adrian Webb, Research Manager, Hydrographic Data Centre, UKHO, Taunton; Ron Openshaw of the Bartlett Library, National Maritime Museum, Falmouth; Cornwall County Council’s Library Service and the Helston branch library. David Graty at the National Monument Record and June Dillon at the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office provided advice and help obtaining shipwreck information. Underwater images east of the Bristows, St Martin’s were collected by Dave Parry during a Plymouth Marine Laboratory research expedition in March 2003, funded by DEFRA through projects AE1137 and CDEP 84/5/295 for rapid assessment of marine biodiversity (RAMBLERS) External consultants for the project were: Richard Larn who provided maritime advice and expertise and Gill Arbery, Isles of Scilly Conservation Officer and English Heritage Field Monument warden who facilitated the consultation exercise and advised on conservation issues. Within the Historic Environment Service, Charles Johns was the Project Manager and also undertook the research and consultation exercises and compiled the report; Bryn Perry Tapper undertook and supervised the GIS and database method and compiled the characterisation texts; Andy Young and Emma Taylor carried out the NMP plot; Ainsley Cocks undertook database entry and advised on significance; Peter Herring advised on characterisation; Cathy Parkers advised on significance, Megan Val Baker contributed to the characterisation section of the report, mapped the HLC types and undertook database entry, Peter Rose edited the text and provided administrative support. The report owes much to the extensive work previously carried out in Scilly by Jeanette Ratcliffe. The views and recommendations expressed in this report are those of the Historic Environment Service projects team and are presented in good faith on the basis of professional judgement and on information currently available.

  • In the Western Mediterranean, 1703–1708
    international journal of military history and historiography 39 (2019) 7-33 IJMH brill.com/ijmh Britain, Austria, and the “Burden of War” in the Western Mediterranean, 1703–1708 Caleb Karges* Concordia University Irvine, California [email protected] Abstract The Austrian and British alliance in the Western Mediterranean from 1703 to 1708 is used as a case study in the problem of getting allies to cooperate at the strategic and operational levels of war. Differing grand strategies can lead to disagreements about strategic priorities and the value of possible operations. However, poor personal rela- tions can do more to wreck an alliance than differing opinions over strategy. While good personal relations can keep an alliance operating smoothly, it is often military necessity (and the threat of grand strategic failure) that forces important compro- mises. In the case of the Western Mediterranean, it was the urgent situation created by the Allied defeat at Almanza that forced the British and Austrians to create a work- able solution. Keywords War of the Spanish Succession – Coalition Warfare – Austria – Great Britain – Mediter- ranean – Spain – Strategy * Caleb Karges obtained his MLitt and PhD in Modern History from the University of St An- drews, United Kingdom in 2010 and 2015, respectively.

ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 13 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations in overseas projects and programmes of research.

  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.

  • Digital 3D Reconstruction of British 74-Gun Ship-Of-The-Line
    DIGITAL 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF BRITISH 74-GUN SHIP-OF-THE-LINE, HMS COLOSSUS, FROM ITS ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS A Thesis by MICHAEL KENNETH LEWIS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Filipe Castro Committee Members, Chris Dostal Ergun Akleman Head of Department, Darryl De Ruiter May 2021 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2021 Michael Lewis ABSTRACT Virtual reality has created a vast number of solutions for exhibitions and the transfer of knowledge. Space limitations on museum displays and the extensive costs associated with raising and conserving waterlogged archaeological material discourage the development of large projects around the story of a particular shipwreck. There is, however, a way that technology can help overcome the above-mentioned problems and allow museums to provide visitors with information about local, national, and international shipwrecks and their construction. 3D drafting can be used to create 3D models and, in combination with 3D printing, develop exciting learning environments using a shipwreck and its story. This thesis is an attempt at using an 18th century shipwreck and hint at its story and development as a ship type in a particular historical moment, from the conception and construction to its loss, excavation, recording and reconstruction. ii DEDICATION I dedicate my thesis to my family and friends. A special feeling of gratitude to my parents, Ted and Diane Lewis, and to my Aunt, Joan, for all the support that allowed me to follow this childhood dream. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr.

    BB August 2008 22/7/08 12:26 Page 418 Important Bird Areas: Breeding seabirds on the Isles of Scilly Vickie Heaney, Leigh Lock, Paul St Pierre and Andy Brown Razorbills Alca torda Ren Hathway ABSTRACT The Isles of Scilly are long famous for attracting rare migrant birds, and much-visited in spring and autumn by those in search of them, but it is much less widely appreciated that the islands also support an outstanding and internationally important assemblage of breeding seabirds.We document the present status and distribution of seabirds on the islands, set populations in their regional, national and international contexts, and review recent and historical changes in numbers. In the light of some alarming population trends, we discuss the possible roles of persecution, disturbance, predation, habitat change, waste and fisheries management, climate change and pollution in bringing about these changes. Finally, we identify a range of actions that we believe will do much to improve the fortunes of the seabirds breeding in the archipelago. 418 © British Birds 101 • August 2008 • 418–438 BB August 2008 22/7/08 12:26 Page 419 Breeding seabirds on the Isles of Scilly he Isles of Scilly are situated some 45 km seabird interest, it is not surprising that many of to the west of the southwest tip of the the older county avifaunas refer to the presence TBritish mainland.
