The accuracy is only as losses in one place. It realises that there will be gaps and would gratefully receive good as these sources which have been thoroughly transcribed and cross-checked. any comments. Equally if researchers have details on any RN ships that are not There will be inevitable transcription errors. The LL includes minimal detail on the listed, or further information to add to the list on any already listed, please contact loss (ie. manner of loss except on the rare occasion that a specific position is known; MAST at [email protected]. MAST also asks that if this resource is used in any also noted is manner of loss, if known ie. if burnt, scuttled, foundered etc.). In most publication and public talk, that it is acknowledged. cases it is unclear from the sources whether the ship was lost in the territorial waters of the country in question, in the EEZ or in international waters. In many cases ships Donations are lost in channels between two countries, eg. the River Plate with Argentina and Uruguay on opposite sides, or for example in the ambiguity of the Dover Straits or the MAST would be very grateful for any financial contribution you might be able to make English Channel. towards this research. Thank you in advance. Therefore this work has taken the ‘best guess’ approach where the location of the wreck is relatively clear. In some cases the location can not be guessed and so the wreck is characterised as ‘location unknown’. Wrecks are in international waters when it is not possible to assign a state without doubt. In the case of the English Channel, wrecks have been position in the UK EEZ. The EEZ of non UK countries are not included. Any site which is known to have undergone any kind of physical investigation is noted to highlight to researchers that publications are available.

    Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 an Application to Register a Footpath on the Definitive Map, Dorothea Quarry, Community of Llanllyfni

    ITEM MEETING PLANNING COMMITTEE DATE 9th July, 2012. TITLE Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 An application to register a footpath on the Definitive Map, Dorothea Quarry, Community of Llanllyfni. PURPOSE To consider whether the Authority should make a Modification Order RECOMMENDATION That Gwynedd Council should make a Modification Order under Section 53(3)(c)(i), Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to register the claimed path on the Definitive Map of Public Rights of Way. If the Committee should decide to make the Order, it is recommended that no liability for maintenance of this path be accepted. AUTHOR Aled Davies Head of Regulatory Department 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 This report refers to an application to register a public footpath at Dorothea Quarry, in the Community of Llanllyfni. 1.2 The application is made on the basis that the public have walked this path unhindered, continuously and as of right (that is without the landowner’s permission) over a period of more than twenty years. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 In May 2005, an application was received from Mrs Shakespeare on behalf of Talysarn and Nantlle Environmental Group, under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, to register on the Definitive Map a public footpath from Talysarn to Nantlle via Dorothea Quarry. 2.2 The claimed path starts from the existing gate near the roundabout at the eastern end of Talysarn and proceeds in a general easterly direction through an area of reclaimed slate tips, circling around the southern side of Dorothea Quarry and connecting to the unclassified road that leads into the village of Nantlle at the north eastern edge of the quarry hole.

    Iona II Dive trail History & Shipbuilding Booklet For a vessel with such a short history, the Iona II provides numerous stories about the development of the mass leisure industry and the glory days of shipbuilding on the Clyde. It also demonstrates the connections between the UK and the American Civil War. The Iona II ended its colourful life with a crew mutiny on the vessel’s final voyage. www.landmarktrust.org.uk/lundyisland/iona-ii-dive-trail navigating the wreck Parts of this Information Booklet correspond with the Shipbuilding Underwater Guide. The letters on the plan below are also on the Shipbuilding Underwater Guide and correspond to areas of interest around the wreck which are explored further in this booklet. The Iona II wreck site is on the east coast of Lundy Island. The seabed around the Iona II wreck is generally flat, with a slight slope east of the amidships area. The seabed is coarse, firm, level mud and fine silt with some areas of fine sand within the wreck and some gravel patches around the boilers. The wreck lies at 22 to 28 metres depending upon the state of the tide. Visibility can vary from 1 to 15 metres. The best time to dive is at slack water, which is two hours either side of low water. N F G A B E Ro D ber t C 0 10m Access to the Iona II Dive Trail is via the Robert wreck buoy. From the Robert’s rudder, head 35m on a bearing of 245 degrees or WSW to reach the Iona II.

    Newport, Isle of Wight. APTAIN BUTT-THOMPSON Is Doing Fine Historical C Service

    Newport, Isle of Wight. APTAIN BUTT-THOMPSON is doing fine historical C service. His essays on William Vidler and the Battle church were in early numbers of our Transactions. He has written two books about the early church at Sierra Leone, founded bynegroes from the Carolinas and Nova Scotia-a most romantic st<;>ry. Now that he is in the Isle of Wight, he has compiled the story of early Baptist effort there. While he is gathering fresh material in South Africa, he places at our disposal his results, with leave to edit them. Thomas Collier, the evangelist of the West Country from 1644 onwards, won converts on the Hampshire and Dorset coasts. From Hurst Castle a family of these, the Angels, crossed and settled in the Isle of Wight, when the plague threatened from Southampton in 1665. At Newport, Robert Tutchin had been ejected three years earlier from the parish church. He had many friends, and .some of these subscribed so that he continued to preach, though. the Five Mile Act obliged him to transfer to a house on the outer verge of the Carls Brook hamlet. Among his supporters were Cookes, Clarkes and Hopkins. Another rivulet of Dissent was Quaker. In 1670 widow Martha Jefferey came to lodge in Newport, and five years later . she bought a cottage on Pyle street where she set apart a room for the reverent. worship of Jehovah God. When she left the island in 1681, she sold the cottage to Alice Hopkins, and laid hands on Mary Hall as her successor, being moved by God to consider other fields white to harvest.
  • Nantlle Vale Is One of the Three Great Slate Quarrying Areas of North

    Nantlle Vale Is One of the Three Great Slate Quarrying Areas of North

    23) Nantlle vale (Dyffryn Nantlle) Nantlle vale is one of the three great slate quarrying areas of North Wales, the others being the Bethesda - Llanberis area in the north, and that of Ffestiniog further south. Each of these areas used different techniques to extract the slate (although producing a more or less standard product) which has resulted in markedly different topographical characteristics in each area. The reason for these differences is the varying formation of the slate beds in the surrounding rocks. As has already been seen at Penrhyn and Dinorwic, the slate strata of Cambrian rock outcrops directly on the side of the mountain there, and can be extracted by simply quarrying into the hillside. At Nantlle however these same beds have a much steeper, near-vertical dip and outcrop on the valley floor. In order to quarry this slate, pits have to be dug down into the strata and the slate blocks hauled out. This form of quarrying and the vertical dip of the beds have led to the characteristic landscape of deep, vertically sided pits (twllau), now frequently flooded, and overlooked by the slate rubbish tips. Quarrying at Nantlle goes back many hundreds of years. The first slate quarry in Wales was probably that at Cilgwyn, which produced roofing slate for local use on a small scale in the mediaeval period. Very little in the way of systematic working of the slate was attempted until the roads to the nearest point of shipment (Caernarfon) had been sufficiently improved to justify expenditure on development. This situation had come about by c.1800, whereupon the Crown common land began to be leased to local gentlemen and merchants who started to capitalise and enlarge the existing quarries and open new ones.
