  • Conservators of the River Cam the Conservators of the Cam Was Set
    Conservators of the River Cam The Conservators of the Cam was set up by statute over 300 years ago and its activities and membership are governed by acts of parliament. It is the Navigation authority for the River Cam, and its bylaws are mostly to do with keeping the navigation open for craft, originally coming up for trade at the wharves in Cambridge. It owns the Halingway, which is the towing path beside the Cam between Cambridge and Clayhithe. It was financed for many years by a penny rate levied on Cambridge city taxpayers, but this no longer happens. Its investment opportunities are few, because although does not make a profit, it is not regarded as a charity, and it can only invest in cash or properties. Most of its income is from licence fees on craft which are based on the Cam - motor boats, rowing craft and punts, and balancing the burden on these different users is an ongoing challenge. It also owns some properties, which generate rents, as well as its own administration building at Baits Bite Lock (the former lock-keepers office) and the house and workshop at Clayhithe where the River Foreman is based. The Conservators themselves are City and County councillors and representatives of the Environment Agency, local punt operators and Cambridge University, and those other representatives of groups and individuals with an interest are invited to attend as Observers. It is in this category that the nominee from South Cambs District Council falls. The issues that have involved work with SCDC have been around replacing the willows along the Cam, many of which are coming to the end of their lives and proving dangerous; • litter collection along the Halingway, for which SCDC gives an annual stipend; • pollution from houseboats and passing craft, which can involve Environmental Health; • maintenance of the ditches beside the Cam, which for years were not dug out, leaving some areas waterlogged.

Most of the world’s biggest cities are located by large rivers. These waterways are so important that they are respected, venerated, even worshipped. While the River Ganges in India is deified as Mother Ganges, a life- giving nurturing goddess, in London the river is personified as Old Father Thames. This walk between Molesey and Kingston explores a short section of the non-tidal river to find out about its physical characteristics – its flow and floods, its islands and meanders. The walk also tells the story of the river’s many roles - as a place to live, a place to work and a place to play.

  • From John Boats to Carnival Floats
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard From John Boats to Carnival Floats Louisiana hunters and fishermen have long been acquainted with a myriad of small boats. From the very beginning, neither the bark canoe nor the pirogue answered all the needs of the early Louisiana colonists. The pirogue (first known use, 1666), French, from the Spanish piragua, which is derived from piraua in the Carib language, was a dugout fashioned (in Louisiana) from a cypress tree trunk hollowed out by the clever use of fire and shell or stone scrapers. Pirogue on the bayou Pirogues were often in excess of 30 feet in length and could transport tons of supplies and dozens of passengers. Modern pirogues are built of cypress planks, marine grade plywood, fiberglass or even sheet aluminum, and (unlike canoes) have more of a flat bottom, allowing them to navigate extremely shallow water. These low profile craft can handily approach choice fishing spots and hunting blinds, traveling with stealth where the ordinary canoe cannot go. Pirogues may be paddled or punted with a push pole in shallow water. Country legend Hank Williams referred to this in his 1952 hit Jambalaya, when he sang the words, “me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou”. Today small outboards or trolling motors often tackle that job. The cajeu was a raft quickly constructed of strong canes tightly bound together to form a light vessel capable of traversing even large waterways. Another small craft, often used in connecting ships with the shore, was known as the esquif or skiff.
