BY H. SzYMANSKI. THE most important collection in Germany is that of the "Museum und Institut fiir Meereskunde," opened in 1906 in Berlin. It is rather modem and contains few pieces of historical interest. The Museum has four sections :-I. Imperial Naval Collection. 2. Historical and Political-Economical Section. 3· Oceanographical Section. 4· Biological Section. The first has models of nearly all the ships of the Prussian-German Navy, some of them beautiful pieces of model making. The oldest is that of the Royal Schooner Stralsund, built in 1816 ; there are also some models from Liibeck, Mecklenburg, etc., originally offerings to churches and a model of the Danish ship of the line, Flora von Gunde, of 1830. • The second shows the most im­ portant types of old wooden sailing ships, including an old model of the snow Johanna von Wismar, models of former and existing North Sea and Baltic fishing boats and models of German coasters. Bojer, Ever, Galeass, Galiot, Jacht, Muttschiff, Piinte, Schlup, Schnigge, Tjalk, Weser-Kahn, etc. In a separate room is a small collection of Eastern boats. The collections are supple­ mented by a small, but in some cases very valuable nautical historical library, and a series of pictures by the marine artist, L. Arenhold, who has copied on to 26 sheets a great number of old coins, seals, illuminations, etc., and thus illustrated the development of shipbuilding from the Ist century to the end of the 16th. Undoubtedly the 1inest model in Germany is that in the "Hohenzollem Museum," in Monbijou Castle, in Berlin. This Downloaded by [New York University] at 19:24 04 December 2014 splendidly made model is about IOft. long (including the bowsprit) and represents a Dutch man-of-war of the latter part of the 17th century. Its origin is uncertain, since there are no docu­ ments. At one time it was thought to have been a present from the States General or some Prince of the House of Orange to the Great Elector. On the other hand, when it was at the Amsterdam Exhibition in 1913, some Dutch experts decided (1) There seems no record of a Danish battleship of this name, which is certainly Ge1man in appearance. A 20-gun corvette, Flo'l'a, was launched in 1826.-Eo. 334 NAVAL .MUSEUMS. 335 that it must have come to Berlin as part of the estate of William III. of Orange and that it was a model of the Hollandia ; this latter conjecture seems doubtfuP. Another model in the " Hohenzollem Museum," is that of a " frigate ship " of 1768. There are other nautical collections in Berlin. For instance, in the " Verkehrs- und Baumuseum," there are models of Prus­ sian coasters ·and inland traders; in the "Museum fiir Volker­ kiinde" an(the " Reichspost-Museum," numerous models of Eastern vessels, some actual boats, and some ancient Egyptian models ; of these latter the " JEgyptische Museum " has other fine specimens. The " Reichspost-Museum " has also a fine col­ lection of engravings, of the following artists among others:­ Zeeman, Roghman, Danckers, P. Ozanne (Melanges de Vaisseaux, 36 pl.), Groenewegen, Baugean, LeComte, etc., and the beautiful and rare work, " Serie delle diverse specie di Bastimenti da Guerra e Mercantile che navigano nel Mediterraneo " containing ten plates with 33 pictures of ships, engraved about 1750. A rather numerous collection of models of ships from the 16th to the 19th century is in the "Germanisches National­ Museum" at Niiremberg. The "Museum von Meisterwerken der Technik" at Munich has a collection of models of ancient ships, produced by the well-known naval architect, Geh. Reg. Rat. C. Busley. These are all on the scale I /so. They are 16 in number, from an ancient Egyptian ship to the five-master Preussen. Certainly there are objections to some details from an archreological point of view ; still they show a very instructive attempt to give a general view of the development of the sailing ship. 3 The town of Liibeck possesses a small collection of old models, some of them rather rough. These are described in Downloaded by [New York University] at 19:24 04 December 2014 "Alte Schiffsmodelle aus dem Hause der Schiffergesellschaft in Liibeck," published at Liibeck in 1912, a series of 12 plates with text. The painting of the Adler was reproduced in THE MARINER's MIRROR in 1912. The SUi. dtische Museum " at Altona is the happy owner of a first-class collection of Schleswig-Holstein sailing vessels. This is of recent date, but of great value. Friends of the Museum collected plans and drawings of the old types and had models made from them. There are ships, brigs, (2) On this question see Mr. Crone's article in April. 1914, and Mr. 't-Hooft's in January, 1922.-Eo. (3) The book which describes these models has recently been reviewed in these columns.-Eo. NAVAL MUSEUMS. snows, schooners and in particular coasters of all kinds-Bojer, Eidergaliot, Ever (Elb-, Ui.gerdorfer-, Ostsee,- Rhin-, and Galeass­ Ever), Galeass, Galiot, Jacht, Kuff, Snehejolle, Storprahm, Schnigge. The models are supplemented by a good collection of drawings, pictures and plans. 4 The" Stadtische Museum," of Bremen, has a large collection of models and actual primitive sailing craft. The "Museum flir Kulturgeschichte" at Lubeck contains some good models, for instance, of the ship Der Liibccker Lc~wc, of 16oo, and Die Hoffnttng von Liibeck, of 1.658, with 58 guns. Some more old models are to be found in the " Museum fiir Hamburgische Geschichte" and in the " Historische Museum" of Bremen. A Hamburg convoy­ ship of the 17th century is in the " Museum flir Kunst " at Hamburg.s A very fine model of an English .18th century three-decker is .in the "Technische Hochschule," of Hanover. What ship it represents is unknown. It was made for the English Admiralty and presented in 1744 to the University of Gottingen. Perhaps some member of the S.N .R. may be able to give information about .the history of this model. The inventory of the university of June 9th, 1769, has the following entry (translation):-" A man­ of-war of 100 guns in a great glass case, a gracious gift from H.R.H. the late Prince of Wales . ." A later note states that :-" It is the model of the man-of-war The Victory that was wrecked on the coast of Normandy in 1744." The date 1744 has still later been replaced by: " 1740, crew I,ooo men." Under the two figures of horsemen which form the figure­ head are two small cartouches with a crown and the mon9gram ''G. R." On the stern are busts of the English King and Queen. The carved transom has two shields with the letters " W " and " G." Above are two squares with ." G. R." . monograms. Downloaded by [New York University] at 19:24 04 December 2014 There are draught marks on the stem and sternpost. Possibly the model represents the Royal George of 1715 (cf. "M. M." 1913, p. 56, 6o). Charnock's picture (Vol. III., p. 139) is very like this model. 6 In the possession of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg is a small (4). Cf. Lehmann, "Rhederei und Schiflbau in Schleswig-Holstein," Altona, 1920. (5) The photograph shows the astonishing combination of the spritsail topmast and the marting<>.le boom.-En. (6) It seems almost certain that it is the 1715 Royal George that is represented. Baston's print ·of that ship is so like the model as to leave very little doubt on the subject. Measurements of Gun Deck and Beam would probably confirm this.-En. MonEL IN THE HoHENZOLLERN l\'IusEuM, BERLIN.

  • Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program
    Technical Report Number 36 Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program Sponsor: Bureau of Land Management Alaska Outer Northern Gulf of Alaska Petroleum Development Scenarios Sociocultural Impacts The United States Department of the Interior was designated by the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act of 1953 to carry out the majority of the Act’s provisions for administering the mineral leasing and develop- ment of offshore areas of the United States under federal jurisdiction. Within the Department, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has the responsibility to meet requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as well as other legislation and regulations dealing with the effects of offshore development. In Alaska, unique cultural differences and climatic conditions create a need for developing addi- tional socioeconomic and environmental information to improve OCS deci- sion making at all governmental levels. In fulfillment of its federal responsibilities and with an awareness of these additional information needs, the BLM has initiated several investigative programs, one of which is the Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program (SESP). The Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program is a multi-year research effort which attempts to predict and evaluate the effects of Alaska OCS Petroleum Development upon the physical, social, and economic environ- ments within the state. The overall methodology is divided into three broad research components. The first component identifies an alterna- tive set of assumptions regarding the location, the nature, and the timing of future petroleum events and related activities. In this component, the program takes into account the particular needs of the petroleum industry and projects the human, technological, economic, and environmental offshore and onshore development requirements of the regional petroleum industry.

Frigate of the American War He left to announce the arrival of royal troops to fi ght of Independence the English occupier on the side of the insurgents. The 1779 - 1793 crossing was accomplished in the record time of 48 days. A 1/48 SCALE MONOGRAPH This performance was due to Hermione’s excellent nautical qualities. In fact, Hermione was a new-generation frigate The book includes all timbering plans built before the revolution. Started on the ways in December Jean-Claude Lemineur 1778, she benefi ted from important advances that were Patrick Villiers brought about by a new concept developed during the second half of the 18th century that translated into seagoing capabilities well beyond those of vessels built according to older designs. Like the other frigates of her generation she allied speed and fi repower, allowing her to rival those of the Royal Navy. But what did Hermione look like? Surprisingly, nothing specifi c remains concerning her, except for the information that she was constructed on the same plans as Concorde, built in 1777. As it turns out, Concorde’s lines were taken off by the Royal Navy after her capture in 1783, and the plans were kept at the NMM in Greenwich. It is fair to believe that Hermione is similar. However, the plans reveal some peculiarities specifi c to Concorde, which is and not present on Hermione. Her battery is pierced for 14 gunports to each side, not counting the chase ports.

ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the first maritime archaeology research project conducted in Ghana, specifically off the town of Elmina in the Central Region. Survey and diver investigations resulted in the discovery of a mid-seventeenth century shipwreck, which archaeological and archival research suggests may be the Dutch West India Company vessel Groeningen that sank after arriving to Elmina on a trading voyage in 1647. The site lies approximately 2.4 kilometers (1.5 miles) southeast of Elmina and is characterized by a mass of trade goods, including brass and pewter basins, brass manillas, lead rolls, trade beads, pins, cowrie shells, as well as large iron cannons. I utilize a multi-scalar approach in this research, which allows me to take the shipwreck as the basic unit of analysis (an event or événement as Braudel would place it in his three scales of history), and situate it within the broader sphere of the Atlantic World.

  • Admiral Antonio Barceló, 1716–97: a Self-Made Naval Leader Agustín Ramón Rodríguez González Real Academia De La Historia, Madrid
    CHAPTER NINE Admiral Antonio Barceló, 1716–97: A Self-Made Naval Leader Agustín Ramón Rodríguez González Real Academia de la Historia, Madrid The career of Antonio Barceló y Pont de la Terra has on many occasions attracted the attention of researchers and publishers of naval history. He was a modest mail-boat skipper, who, despite not being a nobleman and having very little academic training, managed to obtain the title of Admiral (Teniente Gen- eral de la Armada) at a time when such an achievement was nigh on impos- sible. It was solely due to his merits in action during times of war and other outstanding services.199 Much less attention has been paid to the perhaps inevitable fact, given his character and career, that despite being an outstanding leader in the Spanish Royal Navy at that time, prejudices of all kinds, professional envy and the iner- tia of the ‘establishment’ ensured that a large part of his efforts did not receive their due reward and his ideas were not applied, or at least not to the desired extent. Perhaps one of the subtlest attacks on his career and legacy has been to trivi- alise his actions, presenting them as typical of a hard, skilled ‘corsair’, within a very limited operational context, based on anecdotal evidence. This chapter aims to correct or, at least, considerably clarify this accepted opinion. How to cite this book chapter: Rodríguez González, A R. 2017.

This book offers an excellent primer to the period from the non-European perspective. The Barbary Coast stretched along the northern shores of Africa – from the Empire of Morocco in the east, through Algiers to Tunis and Tripoli in the west – a constant threat to Christian shipping in the Mediterranean. They were particularly feared because their main plunder was people – slaves to be traded in the markets of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli. The Barbary Pirates is something of a misnomer, as Angus Konstam quickly acknowledges. For the most part, they were licensed operatives – what the European seafaring nations liked to call Privateers. It’s a tricky point in general as one nation’s semi-heroic Privateers are, of course, Pirates to all those that they prey on.
