Baragoola Week Ending 28Th August 2011 Baragoola Week Ending 28th August 2011 In attendance: Glen, Nick, Gary, Peter C, Peter H, Ernie, Lance, Geoff E, Geoff L, Daniel, Chris, Axel & Peter M Visitors: Two This week our income was $40 and outgoings were $0. Bit lower than last week. Don’t forget that all donations over $2 are now tax deductible. Coming up: The BPA will be at Manly Corso on Saturday the 17th of September. We’ll be at our usual spot under the fig tree opposite the news agents – thanks to Manly Council for the venue. One week after we’ll be holding another open day on board the boat; we’ve distributed the flyer to all members and have already received promises from several to put these up in local shopping centres and on community notice boards – get the message out as far and as wide as possible! A couple of historical events this week in Baragooola’s long history – 1st off, today marks the day in 1934 when Baragoola struck and killed a whale in Sydney Harbour – the event caused the then Maritime Services Board no end of trouble for some nine days as they attempted (and failed) to get rid of the carcass on multiple occasions. In the end the Harbour Trust took over the job and towed it twenty miles out to sea, finally getting rid of it. Probably the strangest thing a Manly ferry has ever hit. The 31st of this month marks the 89th anniversary of the delivery of Baragoola to the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company by Mort’s. She would enter revenue service on the 3rd of September. There are very few other vessels on Sydney Harbour that have been such an intrinsic part of the fabric of the harbour for so long. Sydney’s poor history of maritime preservation (aided and abetted in many cases by government departments that are hell bent on removing that history in favour of cluttering the scene with fibreglass abominations and endless rows of marinas) means that there are very few reminders of these important vessels left – Sydney has two representative ferries left – ours and Kanangra. Of the once huge fleet of Sydney built ferries, nothing else remains (unless you count the hull of the Lady Scott still in service but unrecognisable as the Harbour Queen. How much of our history has been lost? On to the work, and a very busy week it was with much accomplished too. Peter H turned up earlier in the week and continued with the work of the roof of the aft wheelhouse – underneath the noise and whine of the army Blackhawks (which had the very good sense to stay well away from us this time). Peter readies a new roofing section for the wheelhouse This work is progressing well; the proof in the pudding will be of course when it next rains but I have no doubt that this work will lead to a further reduction in rainwater. As part of this work Ernie also did further work on the funnel shroud and this too should not be the major source of rainwater that it has been in the past. Ernie was also busy working on the oil circulating pump for the aft gearbox propulsion unit. This is now functional and a video has been posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTwLADww-Zc This is really no surprise, despite the doomsayers and ill informed people who have in the past professed to be “experts” on Baragoola and her supposed “non working” condition, so far everything has worked, either first time or after a little bit of a cleanup. But then, in the last few years there has been an awful lot of BS spread about the supposed condition of the vessel! Remember, the experts on Baragoola are the BPA – if it doesn’t come from us it is nothing but misinformation, rumour or outright trouble making. Oil pressure going up! The pump in place, cleaned up and painted Work on the hull progressed as well with a good two metre section being completed and it looks excellent (sorry – no pic – will provide next week). Another smaller section that looked suspect was dealt with this week with compression patches being applied and thick scale being removed. Cleaned hull section Two compression patches were applied in this area and you can see the difference once the thick scale has been cleaned off- underneath that is good metal. Further work was done internally higher up in the hull as well with a poor plate in the battery compartment rectified and work begun on another (high above the waterline, but in the splash zone). Work was done by Nick, Geoff, Peter C and I. Nick, Geoff E and I put in some work on the bulwarks midships starboard – Geoff was clearly enjoying himself and did an amazing job stripping the area back to clean metal and the results are quite amazing after Nick completed the work. In the following photo you can see those results – the blue colour is the reflection of the sky in the fresh paintwork – the hull green is a very deep colour with a tinge of bronze in it and when the sunlight hits it is really quite a sight. Photos don’t do the colour justice – you really do have to see it to get the “wow” factor. As well the white stripe is very much a hallmark of these classic manly boats and the addition of it to Baragoola really starts to show the looks of the colour scheme off. Externally it has a big impact rather like the colour trim used inside marks out the interior spaces so well. Quite a good look! Super shiny bulwark and white stripe Much work progressed internally this week as well with quite a bit of paint going on in the main saloon. One wall is now completed bar a second coat of red oxide on the skirting board, as is one of the corner sections leading to the smoking saloon. Nick applied the second coat of opaline blue while I did the second coat of cream (high gloss). In the second picture above you can also see one of the doors under its first coat of high gloss cream, contrast this to the unpainted door to the right. Three doors have now been done in this main section and we are aiming at completing all of them by our open day. Note to all volunteers – don’t lean anything against these completed sections or YOU will be repainting them with Nick and I keeping a watch on you while you do it. Glen and Geoff L completed the cleaning back of the upholstered seat at the rear of the forward stairway. For one person this was a two day job for the mate on the aft staircase, but two people made the work go much faster. This little area is becoming a bit of a showcase area and we have plans to reinstall the correct lighting here soon, doing some repair work to the water damaged deckhead, painting up and reinstalling the lifejacket holders and stripping, re-caulking and (lightly) polishing the deck. This area looks much as it has done for the entire life of the boat, except that it is now closed in (1930’s0 and instead of being varnished as it was then it now carries the paint scheme that Baragoola sported in 1961 (post conversion to diesel). The staircases are very much a focal point of the vessel and fully restored they are yet another defining example of the typical Manly ferry of the time. We are very fortunate that these have survived so long without loss or damage. Much like other parts of the boat they also show changes that have occurred over the years – the handrails appear to be off a K class boat (the PJ Co. Would have had access to these when they were managing the inner harbour ferries because the government didn’t know how to (anti-privatisation people take note! – not much has changed )). They aren’t original to Goola – the original handrail was on the opposite sides of the staircase (you can still see where they used to go). Forward staircase, upper level Chris arrived on Sunday to reinstall the turbo blower for No. 1 English Electric; he had to leave earlier than expected for personal reasons, but accomplished the task before going (making off with the engine oil dipstick). Downstairs in the generator flat Daniel, Peter M and Axel applied more anti-rust white paint to the internal hull brightening it up quite a bit more. The bulkheads still remain to be cleaned back and there’s a big job in cleaning and painting the deckhead as well but it is progressing. The lower part of the hull will be painted in opaline blue and we’ll have a rather tidy area here once completed. However, not too sure that the painted over porthole quite looks right....... Gary did quite a bit of work on the lighting in this area and the battery compartment on Friday. We now have permanent lighting, controlled from above the access stairs, to both of these areas. No more plugging in lights in the dark! On Saturday he rigged up the permanent wiring and switch for the lights in the forward hold as well, the picture shows this in the same place as the original, it has since been painted up to match the colours behind the wiring. This has also resulted in an extension cord being abolished and the hatch now closing correctly.

Through the analysis of various acts of hospitality in the Waverley Novels, this thesis intends to examine how the notion of hospitality is represented as one of the most significant, ancient Scottish traditions defended and performed by people who have less power in society, but is abused by those (often the ruling class) who intend to use it as a mechanism to increase their existing power. Therefore, through the analysis of power relations between various host and guest characters, this thesis attempts to demonstrate the ways in which those groups who are under the rule of hegemonic power are constructed as the subaltern, a postcolonial term derived from the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci’s usage in the Prison Notebooks.

  • St Pauls Papanui Cemetery
    St. Paul’s Anglican Cemetery Tour Papanui Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 St. Paul’s Papanui Cemetery 2007 1 Area 1 Row A No 1 Shead Just to the left as one enters St. Paul’s cemetery there is a gravestone with the wording: ‘In loving memory of Thomas Edward Shead, beloved son of J. and A. Shead, died 11 October 1882, aged 11 years and six months. Late of Phila., Penn., U.S.A.’ Atop the monument there is a striking sculpture of a handsome vigorous boy. It would seem that Thomas died of an illness. His parents, Joseph and Annie Shead, were living in Papanui at the time of their son’s death but do not appear to have remained long. No. 15 Thomson Edinburgh-born and the son of a printer, William Thomson worked as an accountant in Glasgow. He emigrated with his family, arrived in Canterbury in 1853 on the Hampshire, a vessel of about 600 tons. Theirs had been ‘a protracted voyage of five months’. Thomson attended the ball on Queen Victoria’s birthday – on 24 May – in Highland costume. The Lyttelton Maori ‘hearing of his costume, gathered along Norwich Quay to see the Taipo coming – rather peculiar considering their style of dress’. Thomson bought a property, ‘Hemingford’, at Governors Bay. It became the famous and beautiful property of sheepfarmer, scientist and conservationist T. H. Potts and was - and is - known as ‘Ohinetahi’. To get home the family had to travel by boat or walk along a very narrow track and pass through the big and little Rapaki Maori pas.

ISBN: 186477021X. 32 pages b/w photos - isbn in book is 18647721X - The Victorian Railways T class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Victorian Railways between August 1955 and November 1968.They were the most ubiquitous class of diesel locomotives in the state. In July 1954 the Victorian Railways placed an order with Clyde Engineering for 25 (later extended to 27) diesel electric locomotives of their G8 type (based on the EMD GP-7/GP-9 general-purpose locomotive that was a massive sales success in the USA at the time) to partially dieselise country branch lines.In June 1959 the first of an additional ten entered service. Although mechanically similar to the first batch they differed by having a cab raised above the hood line.[5] A further ten entered service from December 1961. In September 1965 the first of an order for 32 was delivered. These differed by having a lower nose. A final order for 19 was delivered from April 1967. The last five were built with an extra 10 tonnes of ballast weight for improved adhesion and low speed controls for use as shunting locomotives in Melbourne. These were reclassified as the H class shortly after being delivered.In July 1969 an additional flat top unit was purchased second hand from Australian Portland Cement who had ordered it for use at its narrow gauge Fyansford Cement Works Railway, Geelong in 1956.

Michael McFadyen A Short History of the SS President Coolidge Page i Foreword For more than 15 years I have dived a considerable number of the shipwrecks of the Pacific Ocean. Apart from the shipwrecks in my home State of New South Wales, the first wreck that I dived in the Pacific was the SS President Coolidge. My interest in this ship led me to find out more about its history and how it came to be sunk. A lot of the information that was available in dive publications and on film was, I soon discovered, incorrect. After amassing a great deal of information, I decided to share my knowledge, so I wrote articles for DIVE Log Australasia about the ship. In the mid-1990s, with the expansion of the use of the World Wide Web, I set up my own Web Site (Michael McFadyen’s Scuba Diving – members.ozemail.com.au/~diving) and published the articles there. Since my first visit to dive the Coolidge in 1991, I have returned to Espiritu Santo in 1995, 1999, 2000, and 2002 and have done in excess of 60 dives there.
