  • '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.

    1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EAST ANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME EIGHT, NUMBER SIXTEEN FEBRUARY 2010 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] A SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS The IWA Peterborough Branch’s cruise for the Old Bedford had been planned for the weekend of Saturday 26 th September 2009. The entrance to the Old Bedford is via a tidal sluice, which can only be opened briefly when the tidal river Great Ouse is at low tide. Back in 1973, when the Old Bedford was the only open route through the Middle Level for those attending the IWA’s Ely Rally, over 40 boats were able to use the sluice on the one tide. Today, the silting of the Great Ouse below Denver has meant that it is over a year since a passage had been attempted. During the previous week the Environment Agency had brought a floating Smalley excavator and a land-based dredger, to open out the entrance into the Old Bedford, and the channel sides were re-profiled. To “test” the work on the Friday, the narrow boat cruiser OLIVE EMILY had locked out of Salter’s Lode Lock (Well Creek) just before low tide and attempted to enter the mouth of the Old Bedford, but unfortunately not enough silt had been dredged from below the waterline for the boat to enter. Not wishing to miss the “window” of opening of the tidal doors John Revell, the boater, decided to reverse in, using his propeller to carve out his own channel, and he managed to reach the Old Bedford.

The wind will blow The wind will blow On board a wherry All: We're sailing, sailing! We need the tide and the wind to blow and one more thing to make us go, 2 Our Dad will steer Our Dad will steer that's a tea-pot boiling down below. Our Mum makes tea Our Mum makes tea On board a Norfolk wherry. And we all help And we all help We're brewing, brewing! 2 Her verse I've always lived on board a boat; 3 The river flows The river flows On board a wherry The river bends The river bends I've brought me children up afloat. We work her round We work her round On board a wherry We're steering, steering! And when that's coming on to blow we send the children down below, 4 A bridge appears A bridge appears but the tea-pot's always on the go. The sail comes down The sail comes down On board a Norfolk wherry. The mast does too The mast does too We're shooting, shooting! 3 His verse Just keep your eye on the wind and sky; 5 The bridge is past The bridge is past On board a wherry The mast goes up The mast goes up there's always some-one passing by.

Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] FURTHER PROGRESS ON THE NORTH WALSHAM & DILHAM Volunteers working on clearing mud from Bacton Wood lock chamber, whilst Laurie Ashton conducts the operation from the top cill. (Pictures by Alan Bertram ) The work party on Sunday 10 June saw further progress at Bacton Wood Lock with the chamber being pumped out revealing mounds of black mire and rubbish. A temporary dam had been erected below the site of the bottom gates creating a small pool and before removing the last of the water from the chamber small fish and water snails were collected and transferred to this pool. A couple of tons of mud were then laboriously pushed out of the lock revealing the “v” shaped bottom gate stops. This enabled careful measurements to be taken – data that will be needed when the manufacture of the bottom lock gates ultimately gets under way. As shown in these pictures the replacement brickwork of the lock has now been completed and the scaffolding was removed by the volunteers on 27 May in preparation for the drain down. It represents a complete transformation from only a couple of years ago and reflects great credit on Mr & Mrs Ashton. 2 Inside Bacton Wood Lock before the chamber was finally drained down. Already there is a steep drop down from the top sill as shown on the left, whilst on the right the volunteers clear small fish from the chamber.
