The former editor of the ASMA news Richard J. Connor, Sr. Wes Siegrist suggested that we run color in the newsletter. I honestly thought 80 Densmore Rd. 322 Domar Drive Chelsea, VT 05038-9020 Townsend, TH 37882 he would be picked up and bodily carried out the door. How times have changed. Of course, 15 years ago, things were much more David G. Heath 6641 Horseshoe Bend Rd. CHANGE OF ADDRESS difficult and very expensive if 4-color was being utilized.

One of the comments I had made at the New Bedford Board Meeting when we finally decided we could support color, was, “OK, but I need a bit of time”. I was able to ease into it with the NB Color insert pages in October, but there was no sense in using the same old designs that we used for B&W, when we now had the opportunity to greatly improve the design of the entire newsletter with full color.

  • Grain Race 1939
    Länspumpen - Sjöfartshistorisk tidskrift sid 1(7) Den sista stora vetekappseglingen 1939 Bo Jershed Exporten av vete från Spencer Gulf i Sydaustralien till Europa kom igång så smått i slutet av 1870-talet och växte därefter snabbt. I tidens anda blev det naturligt att jämföra de hemvändande segelfartygens överfartstider och så småningom utvecklade sig detta till en inofficiell kappsegling. Den första större vetekappseglingen, ”Grain Race”, ägde rum säsongen 1920/1921 då ett trettiotal ”windjammers” deltog. Vetekappseglingarna blev en informell tävling där det gällde att vara snabbast från Spencer Gulf i Australien till orderhamnarna Falmouth i England eller Queenstown, numera Cobh, på Irland. Avfärden skedde från Australien normalt februari-maj och efter ca 100 dagar var man framme vid orderhamnen och fick besked vart man sedan skulle gå och lossa lasten. Dessa årliga kappseglingar fortsatte ända fram till krigsutbrottet 1939 och detta års kappsegling med elva ”windjammers” blev den sista stora kappseglingen. Efter kriget skedde även kappseglingar 1948 och 1949 men i dessa deltog endast ett fåtal fartyg. Bakgrund I takt med ångfartygens och motorfartygens frammarsch samt öppnandet av Suez- och Panamakanalen 1869 resp. 1914 trängdes de stora segelfartygen ut från sina historiska trader och efter första världskriget återstod för dessa fartyg egentligen bara salpeterlaster från Chile och vetelaster från södra Australien. Salpetertraden stagnerade under 30-talet i samband med att chilesalpeter kom mer och mer att ersättas av industriellt framställd konstgödsel. Vetetraden med segelfartyg fortsatte däremot fram till andra världskriget och även några år efter. För driftiga redare var det fortfarande möjligt att på denna trad få en lönsamhet med avskrivna eller billigt inköpta segelfartyg under förutsättning att driftskostnaderna hölls nere.

  • The Never Ending Story of Training Ships Poland She Became ‘Dar Pomorza’, Training Ship for Gdynia Naval Academy
    MARITIME HERITAGE The Never Ending Story of Marijan Žuvić Training Ships Marijan Žuvić TEACHING ON THE WAVES: THE GERMAN SAILS The history of training ships in the world of navigation, The Never Ending Story of both merchant and naval, is a never ending story. From the age Training Ships of sails, through the days of steam and motor propulsion to the most sophisticated vessels of 21st century there were so many ships of all sizes and shapes used as schools on the waves. To make a choice and declare ‘the most famous training ships’ is the mission impossible and so this author doesn’t dare to do such a selection. Training ships are not only the essential part of world-wide shipping but also one of the most interesting. The conclusion of a search through the author’s huge personnel archives the author is that the major role in the entire history of training on the high seas belongs to Germans. As this fact is not widely accepted and German importance and influence is not recognized even in the maritime community it is worth to be presented in ToMS. It is generally accepted that the first training vessel in the world was the British ship ‘Marine Society’. She was former merchantman ‘Beatty’ purchased in 1786 by London-based Marine Society. There is no doubt that Society, founded in 1756 by Jonas Hanway, was the world pioneer in training boys for seafaring duties, but the ship ‘Marine Society’ never sailed and spent her entire career moored between Deptford and Herzogin Cecilie.
