  • Ships Built by the Charlestown Navy Yard
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boston National Historical Park Charlestown Navy Yard Ships Built By The Charlestown Navy Yard Prepared by Stephen P. Carlson Division of Cultural Resources Boston National Historical Park 2005 Author’s Note This booklet is a reproduction of an appendix to a historic resource study of the Charlestown Navy Yard, which in turn was a revision of a 1995 supplement to Boston National Historical Park’s information bulletin, The Broadside. That supplement was a condensation of a larger study of the same title prepared by the author in 1992. The information has been derived not only from standard published sources such as the Naval Historical Center’s multi-volume Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships but also from the Records of the Boston Naval Shipyard and the Charlestown Navy Yard Photograph Collection in the archives of Boston National Historical Park. All of the photographs in this publication are official U.S. Navy photographs from the collections of Boston National Historical Park or the Naval Historical Center. Front Cover: One of the most famous ships built by the Charlestown Navy Yard, the screw sloop USS Hartford (IX-13) is seen under full sail in Long Island Sound on August 10, 1905. Because of her role in the Civil War as Adm.

    THE MODERNIZATION OF THE OTTOMAN NAVY DURING THE REIGN OF SULTAN ABDÜLAZİZ (1861-1876) by DİLARA DAL A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April, 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT The main focus of this study is to examine the modernization of the Ottoman navy during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, exploring naval administration, education, and technology. Giving a summary of the transformation of shipbuilding technologies and bureaucratic institutions of the Ottoman naval forces between 1808 and 1861, it analyses the structure of the Ottoman navy, its level of development in comparison to previous periods of time, and the condition of the vessels making up the naval fleet from 1861 to 1876. It also intends to evaluate the character of existing administrative structures at the outset of Abdülaziz’s reign in 1861 and the nature of subsequent changes, including structural reorganization of the Imperial Naval Arsenal, the Ministry of Marine, and the Naval Academy, as well as advancements in military training and seafaring; all within the context of the impact of these changes on the military, political, and economic condition of the Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz.

  • RECONSTRUCTING HMS PIONEER a Thesis by MARA a DECKINGA
    ARCTIC STEAM AND SAIL: RECONSTRUCTING HMS PIONEER A Thesis by MARA A DECKINGA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Kevin J Crisman Committee Members, Wayne Smith Jonathan Coopersmith Head of Department, Ted Goebel December 2016 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2016 Mara A. Deckinga ABSTRACT In mid-nineteenth century Britain, the dramatic disappearance of Sir John Franklin and his men led to a large-scale search conducted throughout the Arctic by sailing ships and steamers. One such ship was HMS Pioneer (formerly the merchant vessel Eider), which was built as a topsail schooner with oscillating steam engine and later outfitted as part of an Arctic squadron. The vessel was refit with heating apparatus, experimental rubber boats, and other contemporary developments, and serves as a valuable example of the mid-nineteenth century responses to the challenges and concerns of Arctic exploration. This research focuses on the numerous contemporary written and visual depictions of the steamer and its voyage to explore HMS Pioneer’s context and importance in the shift from sail to steam. While HMS Pioneer was presented by contemporary accounts as a ground-breaking novelty, this research shows its place in a continuum with earlier Arctic ships, and highlights the conservatism of changes in rigging, outfitting, and social life on board. ii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my mom: thank you for pushing me to ask all the questions. Study hard; hardly study. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To my committee chair: Kevin Crisman: thank you for teaching the Rigging class that generated this thesis idea, and for your advice through my time at Texas A&M.

  • Fuller-Ericsson
    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History Volume 2 Number 3 December 2004 John Ericsson, the Monitors, and Union Naval Strategy By Howard J. Fuller King’s College, London—Department of War Studies John Ericsson and the Revolution in Naval Warfare 1850-1880 Swedish National Defence College, Stockholm Symposium, 14 November 2003 The title of my paper is a ‘Trinity’ of sorts—“John Ericsson”, “the Monitors”, and “Union Naval Strategy”—and each element is part of, a consequence of, the other. It is inappropriate to discuss Ericsson in any symposium without addressing his most notable, if not crucial invention (arguably), the ironclad U.S.S. Monitor; impossible to make note of that particular warship and her follow-ons without acknowledging Ericsson’s central role in their construction; and altogether bad history to explore the naval strategy of the Union during the great American Civil War of 1861-1865 without stressing the utter reliance of the United States and its Navy upon both the monitors and Ericsson—upon its front-line fleet of ironclads, and one man. All three elements were dependent upon one another for their success, a sort of causal loop which I will briefly try to describe to you, here and today. The occasion is more than appropriate, if not also momentous: this year is Ericsson’s personal bicentennial, the revolutionary steam-powered gun turret of the Monitor has recently been raised, ready to be housed in the most ambitious ship museum in American history, the “Monitor Center”, as part of the ‘National Maritime Museum’ of A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History Volume 2 Number 3 December 2004 the United States, the Mariners’ Museum at Newport News, Virginia; and today also American naval strategy and power dominates world headlines—calling forth serious questions, and demanding insights, if not “answers”, from history.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Confederate Ironclad Steam Engines, Boilers, and Propulsion Systems by Saxon T
    Abstract “How A Vessel of This Magnitude Was Moved”: A Comparative Analysis of Confederate Ironclad Steam Engines, Boilers, and Propulsion Systems by Saxon T. Bisbee November 2012 Director: Dr. Bradley A. Rodgers Department of History The development of steam propulsion machinery in warships during the 19th century in conjunction with iron armor and shell guns resulted in a technological revolution in the world’s navies. Warships utilizing all of these technologies had been built in France and Great Britain dating back to the 1850s, but it was during the American Civil War that ironclads powered solely by steam proved themselves in large numbers. The armored warships built by the Confederate States of America especially represented a style adapted to scarce industrial resources and facilities. The development and / or procurement of propulsion machinery for these warships have received only peripheral study. Through historical and archaeological investigation, this thesis consolidates and expands on the scattered existing information on Confederate ironclad steam engines, boilers, and propulsion systems. Using a comparative analytical approach, the steam plants of 27 ironclads are assessed by source, type, and performance, among other factors. This has resulted in an analysis of steam machinery development during the Civil War and also adds to the relatively small knowledge base relating to Confederate ironclads. “How A Vessel of This Magnitude Was Moved”: A Comparative Analysis of Confederate Ironclad Steam Engines, Boilers, and Propulsion Systems A Master of Arts Thesis Presented To The Faculty of the Department of History East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Saxon T.
