Go to page 18 for a Falklands sport four page special 1 Falkland Islands Editorial by FIA Chairman David Tatham CMG Association Newsletter A record of achievement Published by the I have real pride in presenting this issue of the Falkland Islands Association News Falkland Islands Letter. Association, Falkland House, Not simply because it is an exceptionally polished production. Our editor Lisa Watson, 14 Broadway, with her colleagues at SeAled in Stanley, and the co-operation of Cindy Buxton, who London handles the British end of the operation, has produced an excellent record of Falklands SW1H OBH achievement and a mirror to the rapidly developing society of the Islands. I don’t think the Newsletter has ever looked so good. Tel 0845 260 4884 But it’s not just surface polish. There are lots of good news stories about the ISSN 0262-9399 achievements of individual Islanders: the award to Patrick Watts; the graduation of Second Lieutenant Teraaka Middleton at Sandhurst; the fi rst Queen’s Certifi cate and EDITED BY: badge of Honour to Willie Bowles; the discovery of a new Warrah skull by 13 year-old Ms Lisa Watson, SeAled PR Dale Evans on his family farm. There is a useful summary of progress in oil prospection Brandon Road by the Department of Mineral Resources and an encouraging account of progress in Stanley agriculture by the Director Mac McArthur. The retiring governor, Alan Huckle, contributes Falkland Islands a thoughtful article on the current situation in the Islands, fundamentally optimistic, but pointing to the need to live within one’s means. Tel +500 22432 One article looks back to the Falklands contribution to the Commonwealth Games in [email protected] Delhi, last October, while another looks forward to the Island Games on the Isle of Wight next June/July. There are three stories about new commercial initiatives – Mamma Sue’s EDITORIAL pizza delivery, Alex Olmedo’s boutique V&A and Julie Halliday’s Studio 52. COMMITTEE Ms Cindy Buxton (Chair) Add to this the best GCSE results for 18 years, the presentation of the national Mr David Tatham CMG Stamp collection to the Stanley Museum, and I believe this is a record of astonishing Mr D G Ainslie activity for a community of about 3,000 people. It is something to bear in mind when Major R Spafford Argentine economic pressure is being applied in an attempt to stifl e Falklands’ links with Mrs M Christie the mainland and when the argentine President is reported to be planning to step up Mr Saul Pitaluga tension on the Falklands to boost her electoral chances. The Islands are a small society but they are well defended and they have their own vitality which will not be destroyed ADVERTISING by outside pressure. Full page £250 Facts and fi gments Half page £125 Quarter page £65 The newsletter also includes another detailed factual article by Graham Pascoe and Eighth page £35 Peter Pepper on recent Argentine claims that the British and Falklands Governments Short insert £3 have acted unilaterally in their contacts with Argentina. This same subject has recently per line led to a fascinating debate in the letters column of the Buenos Aires Herald and on the excellent Mercopress website mercopress.com with the former deputy Argentine Foreign www.fi association.com Minister, Andrés Cisneros. The exchange was marked by carefully researched history on the part of Peter and Graham, but distortion and venom from the former minister. The fact is that since Peter and Graham launched their attack on Argentine historical myth-making at a lecture at the London School of Economics in 2008, there has been no considered reply from the Argentine side. It is true that the Islanders’ case relies on self-determination, not history. It is what the people living in a country want their future to be which matters. But in addition it is good to know that Argentina’s historical case, which is regularly trotted out at the Committee of 24 and other UN and Latin American bodies, simply holds no water.

Esa vinculación fue particularmente interesante en los campos de la actividad misionera, social (emigración de malvineros), comercio y comunicaciones con desarrollo a lo largo de un siglo hasta 1950, conformando así un caso singular –único en la historia chilena– de relación ultraterritorial, con vigencia hasta el presente y favorables recíprocas consecuencias. Palabras claves: Magallanes, Falkland, relaciones, comercio. RELATIONS AND TRADE BETWEEN MAGELLAN TERRITORY AND FALKLAND ISLANDS (1845-1950) ABSTRACT The geographic vicinity between the Magellan strait region, South American continent, and the South Atlantic archipelago of the Falkland Island originated an early relation between both territories.

  • Swan/Weddell Island
    WEDDELL ISLAND VERSION: 5 March 2019 SWAN/WEDDELL ISLAND The Weddell Island group with a total acreage of approximately 54,000 acres are located to the west of West Falkland between Port Stephens to the east and Beaver Island and New Island to the west. Included in the group are six islands: Penn, Barclay, Fox, Quaker, Low and Hill Islands along with a number of other small islets such as Bald, Carthors, Harbour and Circum. HMS Jason, a frigate of 32 guns, HMS Carcass a sloop, and the storeship HMS Experiment left England in September 1765 and, sailing via Madeira and the Cape Verde Islands, arrived in Port Egmont 8 January 1766. The expedition under Captain John McBRIDE had all the provisions and necessaries, including a ready framed wooden blockhouse, to establish a permanent settlement on Saunders Island. Captain McBride undertook the first hydrographic survey of the Falkland Islands and the unnamed Weddell Island appears on McBride’s “A chart of Hawkins Maidenland”. During the 18th and early 19th centuries Weddell Island was called Swan Island and was still referred to as Swan Island in an 1841 map by John ARROWSMITH. The name was later changed to Weddell Island after Captain James WEDDELL RN. The islands and their surrounding waters were a popular haunt of American whalers and sealers. Barclay Island was named after the Nantucket or New Bedford ship Barclay. A number of these men were Quakers and Penn Island was named after William Penn of the Society of Friends or Quakers; Fox Island after George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends and Quaker Island after their faith.
