  • '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.

    Thames Barge Sailing Maldon, Essex 5 days, Monday to Friday Price: £650 per person Dates for 2018: 27–31 August The Location Sailing from Maldon, we explore the beautiful ‘Essex Sunshine Coast’ afloat. The Essex coast is the longest of any English county with 350 miles of varied and beautiful coastline. Our route takes in rugged sheltered coves, vast saltmarshes that teem with wildfowl and beautiful sandy beaches. Here at Dementia Adventure we have witnessed first-hand for years how much benefit people with dementia and their carers can derive from joining a group sailing trip like this—even if they have never sailed before. When the Sea- Change Sailing Trust offered to host our groups on board back in 2013 we jumped at the chance, and have since run eight successful voyages with them. Once on board, the group become active members of the crew, and we aim to help everyone to achieve as much as they can during the voyage. The feeling of camaraderie which develops naturally on a trip like this one can be brilliant, life affirming and with long lasting benefit. Sea-Change Sailing Trust supplies all safety equipment including lifejackets and waterproofs, and the crew comprises a skipper, first mate and often a third hand who we will get to know and love! Dementia Adventure, Unit 11 Old Park Farm, Main Road, Ford End, Essex, CM3 1LN t:01245 237548 e:[email protected] www.dementiaadventure.co.uk Your Accommodation You will be eating and sleeping on-board an iconic full-sail Thames Sailing Barge, famous along this stretch of coast.

We are expert and experienced in offering a range of different experiences for our clients, with accreditation of learning where possible. Objectives We believe working on a large traditional sailing vessel, with appropriate support, provides empowerment in a secure yet challenging environment, enabling personal reassessment and lasting positive outcomes. • to place young people in a unique residential developmental and learning situation • to provide an holistic, innovative and alternative approach to education and learning, tailored to suit individual needs using objective accreditation when possible • to provide physical challenges in a safe, supportive and stimulating environment • to provide a structured regime with trusting and positive relationships in which young people can thrive and take responsibility • to provide support in transferring positive personal development into life beyond the project Our Work so far Our work has included residential voyages for young people and adults with learning difficulties, extended accreditation programmes for hard- to-reach young people, as well as courses for homeless people, students of nautical studies, sea cadets, and young people at risk of educational exclusion. One of our great advantages is our flexibility – we are able to design programmes for a very wide range of clientèle, from larger groups of troubled teenagers (about a dozen) going on a short sail to a week of activities for smaller groups (about 6-8) leading to accreditation.
