BOAT CREW HANDBOOK – Navigation and Piloting Captain John A. Henriques BCH 16114.3 December 2017 John Ashcroft Henriques John Ashcroft Henriques was one of the most important Revenue Cutter Service officers of the 19th century. As founder and first superintendent of the Revenue Cutter Service School of Instruction, forerunner of the modern Coast Guard Academy, he was arguably the most important figure in educating Service officers in seamanship and navigation. Henriques began his career in March 1863. The next three years proved hectic ones, beginning with a tour on the James C. Dobbin, a sailing cutter that played a part in his later career and brief assignments as a junior officer on board cutters Crawford, Northerner and John Sherman. In less than five years, Henriques received promotions from third lieutenant to the rank of captain. This rapid rise testified to Henriques’ seafaring experience and command presence. Shortly after the Civil War, a journalist commented, “Captain Henriques is thoroughly posted and every inch a sailor [journalist’s italics] and a gentleman, as is well known to all who have made his acquaintance.” Captain Henriques saw a lot of sea time in the Atlantic, Pacific, rounding Cape Horn, and in Alaskan waters. In the decade following the War, he commanded four ocean-going cutters, including the Reliance. As captain of Reliance, he sailed from the East Coast around hazardous Cape Horn to San Francisco. The voyage began August 1867 and included eight brutal days of gale-force winds and heavy seas while the 110-foot topsail schooner slugged her way around “the Horn.” A few months after Reliance arrived in San Francisco, Henriques sailed for Alaska, becoming one of the first cutter captains to serve in the treacherous waters of that territory, and the first one to enforce U.S. laws in Alaskan waters. Henriques bore the greatest responsibility for planning, establishment, and oversight of the Revenue Cutter Service School of Instruction. While still in Alaska on board cutter Richard Rush, Henriques received orders to Washington, D.C., for the special duty of developing a new Revenue Cutter Service cadet program. With two fellow officers, Henriques devised a system of practical education based on the use of a sail-training ship and Congress passed legislation to establish the school in July 1876. In early December, Henriques convened a board to examine the School’s first candidates, which resulted in the Service’s first class of cadets. Early in 1877, Henriques began fitting out Dobbin to serve her new role as the School’s classroom and living quarters; and he signed on her crew of officers, enlisted men and a surgeon. He also visited the United States Naval Academy, and worked out the final plan for the curriculum, with junior and senior years, one sea term and two academic terms per year. The School of Instruction commenced on May 25th, 1877, when nine cadets boarded Dobbin and started their course of study under Henriques’ supervision. Over Henriques’ suggestion of New London, Connecticut, the Service selected New Bedford, Massachusetts, as the School’s first homeport. By 1878, the School of Instruction had enjoyed a year of successful operation. During that year, the venerable old Dobbin had served the purpose of school ship. And though the twenty-year-old wooden schooner had proven the importance of practical sailing instruction, the Service built a new purpose-built cutter for cadet training. Henriques took charge of the Salmon P. Chase in August 1878, claiming the new 106-foot bark was “one of the most gallant little sea-going vessels he has ever been in; very fast, and in heavy weather always reliable.” Chase remained the school ship through Henriques’ superintendancy, which ended in 1883. In 1900, the School of Instruction moved to Curtis Bay, Maryland; and, ten years later, it moved to its permanent home of New London. In 1902, after a career of almost forty years, Captain Henriques retired to Connecticut and died just four years later at the age of seventy-nine. As a mentor, advisor and instructor, Henriques influenced generations of revenue cutter officers and ushered in a new age of Service professionalism.

    Terminology of Yacht Parts, Fittings, Sails & Sheets Etc

    Terminology of yacht parts, fittings, sails & sheets etc. Some of the obvious, and not so obvious, parts encountered on model yachts (and full size yachts). Bowsie, flat. Small drilled ‘plate’ through which runs a line, or cord, for adjustment of that line. Pre-war bowsies were often made in ivory, some were made in a fine plywood; today hard plastic is used. Bowsie, ring . A circular version of the flat bowsie, usually for larger yachts such as the A-class. Deck eye. An eye on a horizontal plate with fixing holes, located on the deck. Normally used for accepting backstay/forestay attachment, also shroud attachment on smaller yachts. Eyebolt. An eye, at the end of a threaded spigot, or bolt. Eyelet, sail. A sail eyelet is a brass part, in the shape of a ‘funnel’ before compression, and when pressed into a hole in a sail it makes a firm metal ring. It is then used to facilitate making off a line (or on occasions a wire hawser in full size practise). Larger/stronger eyelets used on laying up covers for full size boats, were turnovers , where a brass ring was firstly sewn in place over a hole punched in the sail or sheet, the turnover (eyelet) was then hammered in place using a rawhide mallet and dies. It made an immensely strong eyelet. Ferrule (slang, crimp). A brass ferrule, or sleeve, which when made off on one end of a wire, secures/attaches it by means of a loop made in the wire to a fitting or line. Head crane.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial

    Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial

    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

Dewey, Chairperson C. Fred Blake Christine R. Yano David L. Hanlon Jonathan K. K. Osorio © Copyright 2003 by Akihiro Inoue iii ToSakae, Akinari, Eiji and Ayumi IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My deepest thanks and respect are owed to those who willingly complied with my request for an interview and gave me various inspiring talks. Some ofthem are affectionately called kahu among their congregations, others work hard as church members to contribute to their churches. Whether they are Hawaiian or not, I understand that they are leading a Christian life, which I can learn much from. All of those who shared their perspectives with me in my interviews stimulated me to probe into the problem offaith, which I must deal with personally as well as academically. I refrain from identifying them in order to maintain their anonymity, and only give most of them the general term of "Christian Hawaiians," which certainly obscures the significant diversity oftheir personality. If they are not convinced by the way their narratives were interpreted, I will have to engage in further dialogue in order to answer to them. I extend my hearty thanks to members ofmy dissertation committee. Due to personal circumstances that I had to return to Japan before completing my research, and because of my slow pace of writing, I was not able to hold the original committee.

    Depth Measuring Techniques

    EM 1110-2-1003 1 Jan 02 Chapter 9 Single Beam Acoustic Depth Measurement Techniques 9-1. General Scope and Applications Single beam acoustic depth sounding is by far the most widely used depth measurement technique in USACE for surveying river and harbor navigation projects. Acoustic depth sounding was first used in the Corps back in the 1930s but did not replace reliance on lead line depth measurement until the 1950s or 1960s. A variety of acoustic depth systems are used throughout the Corps, depending on project conditions and depths. These include single beam transducer systems, multiple transducer channel sweep systems, and multibeam sweep systems. Although multibeam systems are increasingly being used for surveys of deep-draft projects, single beam systems are still used by the vast majority of districts. This chapter covers the principles of acoustic depth measurement for traditional vertically mounted, single beam systems. Many of these principles are also applicable to multiple transducer sweep systems and multibeam systems. This chapter especially focuses on the critical calibrations required to maintain quality control in single beam echo sounding equipment. These criteria are summarized in Table 9-6 at the end of this chapter. 9-2.

  • The New York Sloop

    The New York Sloop

    The New York Sloop The most important of the sloop-rigged small-boat types used in the fisheries was the New York sloop, which had a style of hull and rig that influenced the design of both yachts and work-boats for over thirty years. The New York boats were developed sometime in the 1830's, when the centerboard had been accepted. The boats were built all about New York Bay, particularly on the Jersey shore. The model spread rapidly, and, by the end of the Civil War, the shoal centerboard sloop of the New York style had appeared all along the shores of western Long Island Sound, in northern New Jersey, and from thence southward into Delaware and Chesapeake waters. In the postwar growth of the southern fisheries, during the 1870's and 80's, this class of sloop was adopted all along the coasts of the South Atlantic states and in the Gulf of Mexico; finally, the boats appeared at San Francisco. The model did not become very popular, however, east of Cape Cod. The New York sloop was a distinctive boat—a wide, shoal centerboarder with a rather wide, square stern and a good deal of dead rise, the midsection being a wide, shallow V with a high bilge. The working sloops usually had a rather hard bilge; but in some it was very slack, and a strongly flaring side was used. Originally, the ends were plumb, and the stem often showed a slight tumble home at the cutwater. V-sterns and short overhanging counters were gradually introduced in the 1850's, particularly in the boats over 25 feet in length on deck.
