(December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

It leaves my life still to be written, should it be deemed worth the writing. It leaves, in fact, the first thirty years after my birth almost a blank. My residence in New South Wales has extended over fifty-three years; I began, in association with others, to take an earnest interest in the affairs of the colony within two or three years after my arrival. My first acquaintances were Charles Harper, William Augustine Duncan, and Henry Halloran, the latter of whom, now a hale man of eighty-two years, is still my warm personal friend, whose high generous spirit and fine gifts of mind have contributed much to my enjoyment of life. Some years before the advent of Responsible Government I was drawn into the active politics of the country; and of all the men who laboured conspicuously in public in preparing the way for the new Era, I now stand alone.

  • The Too Vast Orb : the Admiralty and Australian Naval Defence, 1881-1913
    THE TOO VAST ORB THE ADMIRALTY AND AUSTRALIAN NAVAL DEFENCE 1881-1913 rtal lic en C5 M. Briggs B.A. Dip. Ed. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania (Hobart, 1991) "The Weary Titan staggers under the too vast orb of its fate." Joseph Chamberlain 1902 Colonial Conference This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university and, to the best of my knowledge, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. M. Briggs SUMMARY The subject of this study is the relationship between the Admiralty and the Australian colonies, and subsequently the Commonwealth of Australia, from 1881 to 1913. Of main concern is Admiralty policy; its objectives, the way in which it was determined, and the factors which shaped it. The three decades examined in this study saw fundamental changes in the relationship between the Admiralty and Australia. Federation and the growth of nationalist sentiment encouraged Australian efforts to develop a local navy. These efforts were rewarded with the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy in 1911. This period also saw major changes in Britain's strategic and economic circumstances and the decline of the Royal Navy relative to the other great navies of the world. Students of British naval policy have tended to overlook the Admiralty's relationship with colonies such as Australia, concentrating on relations with the great powers, in particular the naval race with Germany.

  • British Submarine Policy 1853-1918 Michael Wynford Dash a Thesis
    y_< I British submarine policy 1853-1918 Michael Wynford Dash A thesis submitted for the degree of Ph. D. at King's College, University of London Department of War Studies 1990 BIBL. LOND[h. .:, UNIV.. ABSTRACT O Abstract The submarine is used as a case study to examine British attitudes to developing naval technology. Study of the Royal Navy's submarine policy suggests that the Admiralty was less conservative and more able than is often supposed. The British were thoroughly conversant with all significant developments in underwater warfare from 1853. There was an early, if abstract, appreciation of the potential of submarine boats, but a distinction must be drawn between adequate technical assessments of early submarines and inadequate appreciation of the strategic consequence of developments in submarine warfare. Development of British policy was greatly influenced by restrictive agreements concerning the type of vessels to be built by the Vickers arms firm, by the character and personal beliefs of successive Inspecting Captains of Submarines, and by the Royal Navy's decision to resume partial responsibility for coast defence from the Army. British experience is put into context by a study of the submarine policies of other powers. The importance of the coastal submarine to Imperial defence is discussed, the patrol submarine's influence on the British policy of blockade is assessed, and the failure to anticipate unrestricted submarine warfare examined. In the final chapter, the performance of RN boats in the Great War is set against pre- and post-war submarine policy.
