  • Mary Rose: the First Ship of Our Standing Navy Transcript
    Mary Rose: The first Ship of our Standing Navy Transcript Date: Wednesday, 25 February 2009 - 12:00AM MARY ROSE: THE FIRST SHIP OF OUR STANDING NAVY Rear Admiral John Lippiett It is on April 21st this year that we will be celebrating Henry VIII coming to the throne, at seventeen years old, and he changed our country radically. The first thing he did was to order to be built the Mary Rose and another ship called the Peter Pomegranate. To anticipate the question about this other ship, Peter was St Peter, Pomegranate was Catherine of Aragon's family crest, and so 'Mary Rose' is probably the Virgin Mary, although custom has it that it was his favourite sister Mary, and the rose the Tudor Rose. The Mary Rose was a revolutionary as a ship. When it was built, in 1509, with its maiden voyage in 1511, it was as scientifically advanced as the space shuttle was in the 1980's. It has a new form of construction for warships in this country. For the first time, we have got a ship that is smooth-sided, that is carvel-built with planks abutting each other to give a smooth side, as opposed to clinker-built, which is where the planks overlap. Carvel ships were built from the keep up and the planks were just laid on top of each other. For the first time, this was building a ship with frames and then putting the planks around it. It was 150 feet long and it was a mighty warship with castles at the stern and bow, the aftercastle and the forecastle (you will probably know that forecastle is now abbreviated to 'focsle' of a ship).

  • Help Us Secure the Future of the Hilton Trafalgar Flags
    Help us secure the future of the Hilton Trafalgar Flags NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM | ROYAL OBSERVATORY GREENW ICH | THE QUEEN’S HOUSE | CUTTY SARK The Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October, 1805 , Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1822-24, BHC0565 National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, Greenwich Hospital Collection HMS Victory (centre) still flying the flags of Nelson’s famous signal, ‘England Expects That Every Man Will Do His Duty’. To the left of Victory’s main mast is the Union flag, which has been loosened by the French ship Redoutable which was dismasted. The Hilton Trafalgar Flags of St. Mary’s Church, Selling The National Maritime Museum has the rare and exciting opportunity to acquire two surviving flags from the Battle of Trafalgar, October 1805. The first is a Union Flag, from HMS Minotaur and was, we know, flown at the battle. The second is an Austrian ensign and is as interesting as the Union Flag. It is believed to have come from the Neptuno , the Spanish warship jointly captured at Trafalgar by Minotaur and Spartiate . Following the high profile sale of the Union Flag from HMS Spartiate in 2009, St. Mary’s Church, Selling in Kent approached the National Maritime Museum with an offer for the museum to purchase the two flags for £175,000. The Union Flag has been valued at £150,000 and the Austrian Ensign at £25,000. The National Maritime Museum is the preferred choice for the church - recognising the museum’s unique ability to care for such rare objects, to display them appropriately and to tell their amazing stories to our visitors.

  • ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. the Influence of the War of 1812 on Great
    ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. The Influence of the War of 1812 on Great Lakes Shipbuilding. (Under the Direction of Dr. Bradley Rodgers) Department of History, January 2012. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the War of 1812 influenced ship construction techniques on the Great Lakes. During the War of 1812, much of the fighting in the North American theater of war primarily took place along the Niagara frontier and later along the St. Lawrence River. From the outset, both the Americans and British realized that gaining the upper hand in the conflict depended upon control of the Great Lakes. Critical to achieving the advantage was the development of a significant and powerful inland navy, which led to a shipbuilding race on both shores. The primary question raised surrounding Great Lakes ship construction in the early nineteenth century is whether or not this large scale event, the War of 1812, permanently influenced the way in which ships were constructed once the war was over. To answer this question, this study examines diagnostic attributes of archaeologically examined wrecks from the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain from before, during and after the War of 1812 to find similarities and difference in their design and construction The three time periods have been defined as the period before the War of 1812, from the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763), when British sailing ships first appeared on the Great Lakes, up to 1811; the period of the War of 1812 itself (1812-1814); and the period after the war leading up to the opening of the Welland Canal (1829) and the widespread use of steam engines on the Great Lakes (1830s-1840s).
