    1 [ E:RESEARCH] 2002 SHIPS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME TECHNOLOGY IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. Parkin,D. and Barnes,R. (eds.) RoutledgeCurzon, London, 2002. ISBN 0-7007-1235-6 (Papers read at the second conference in the series The Indian Ocean: Transregional creation of societies and cultures organized by the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford, and held at St.Anthony’s College, in May 1998) Chapter 5 PRE - MODERN SRI LANKAN SHIPS Somasiri Devendra Introduction There are many references to Sri Lankan ships in the historical records of Sri Lanka, as well as other countries. Yet, we have little idea of the appearance or structural characteristics of the early vessels. This paper, which tries to find an answer to these questions, is presented in two parts. Part 1 states the hypothesis and the path followed to test it. Part 2 describes the traditional ships that survived into this century. The inland watercraft, which are important 2 for a fuller appreciation of this subject, is not dealt with here as I have dealt with them at length elsewhere. (Devendra 1995: 211-238) PART I Hypothesis All Sri Lankan ships and watercraft developed from two basic forms that evolved out of the interaction between the inshore maritime environment and the biological resources of the island. Shared cultural links with, and technological forms prevalent in, south India were the other parameters. When Sri Lankan vessels eventually ventured farther out into the ocean, these basic forms underwent further and greater modification to fit the new environment. Contacts with foreign ships calling at Sri Lanka and experiences gained by sailing in foreign waters, exposed Sri Lankan mariners to types of craft and technologies that had originated in different parts of the Indian Ocean (and beyond).

HORTON RYLEY Member of the Hnkhiyt Society LONDON T. FISHER UNWIN PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1899 reserved.'} PREFACE much has been written of recent years of the SOhistory of what is generally known as the East India Company, and so much interesting matter has of late been brought to light from its earliest records, that it seems strange that the first successful English expedition to discover the Indian trade should have been, comparatively speaking, overlooked. Before the first East India Company was formed the Levant Com- pany lived and flourished, largely through the efforts of two London citizens. Sir Edward Osborne, sometime Lord Mayor, and Master Richard Staper, merchant. To these men and their colleagues we owe the incep- tion of our great Eastern enterprise. To the fact that among them there were those who were daring enough, and intelligent enough, to carry their extra- ordinary programme into effect we owe our appear- ance as competitors in the Indian seas almost simultaneously with the Dutch. The beginning of our trade with the East Indies is generally dated from the first voyage of James Lancaster, who sailed from Plymouth in 1591. But, great as his achievement was, , **** 513241 vi PREFACE and immediately pregnant with consequences of a permanent character, he was not the first Englishman to reach India, nor even the first to return with a valuable store of commercial information.

  • So Old a Ship:Twilight of the Arab Dhow by Marion Kaplan
    So Old a Ship:Twilight of the Arab Dhow by Marion Kaplan iving and working in Kenya as a free- lance photojournalist in the 1970s, it was my good fortune to be assigned Lby National Geographic to do a story on Arab dhows. These wooden ships had with- stood change in the Indian Ocean for more than 2,000 years, but their numbers were then in rapid decline. In the early years of the 20th century, between 600 and 700 wooden dhows with their great billowing sails would arrive each year in Mombasa, Kenya, with the monsoon from Muscat and Oman, Arabia and India. In the 1930s and ’40s, their number exceeded 200, but by 1970 the dhows were being pushed off their ancient trading routes by speedy freighters and containerization. The year I embarked on my expedition, the number making the seasonal voyage had diminished to fewer than fifty. I spent five months on the venture. In Kuwait, I joined the crew of a small dhow as a passenger for a trip through the Persian Gulf; in Dubai, I transferred to a large seagoing dhow called a “boom” for a voy- age down the African coast, ultimately bound for Mombasa. My 3,500-mile jour- ney was very probably the last close look at dhow people, dhow trading, and dhow life before those lovely wooden vessels were gone forever. marion kaplan by all photos of big American cars.

  • Spell of Fate.Pdf
    SPELL OF FATE BY MAYER ALAN BRENNER PROLOGUE UNTIE LEEN! AUNTIE LEEN! Look what I found!” Auntie Leen, also known as the Keeper of the Imperial “A Archives, raised her eyes above the lenses of her reading glasses as the three-year-old figure of her nephew skidded to an uncertain halt next to her desk. In the midst of a frenetic bustle of waving arms she could see that both hands were empty, and the pockets exhibited no more than their typical bulge. “Very well,” said Leen. “I’m looking. What are you hiding, and where are you hiding it?” He was tugging insistently at her hand. “Here! Come here!” Robin had been rummaging somewhere off in the back, playing hide- and-seek with himself among the uneven aisles and coating himself with his usual cloud of grime. With her free hand, Leen slid an acid-free marker into the ancient book and closed the crumbly cover, leaving it perched on the reading stand, and picked up her lantern. Although her work area was liberally furnished with candles, thus slowing the deterioration in her eyesight, the deeper reaches of the archive had only the illumination one brought to them. How had Robin been able to see whatever he’d discovered? As Robin trotted ahead of her off into the darkness, a blue glow spread out ahead of him, lighting his way through the crates and leaning piles of scrolls and books. Leen scowled to herself.

In late 1931, with a view of owner Henry Foss to hold Foss workmen on the job as much as possible during the depression, work was begun on the only yacht listed on the Foss History web site to be built by the Foss Tug and Launch Company works at Tacoma. When other work was a bit slack, work on THEA was resumed, thus assisting the owner in keeping the company’s well organized crew employed. Her lines were drawn by G.E. Nyman of Tacoma and her construction was under the supervision of Linas Berg. Hollow Tobin bronze wing shaped rudder and stream-line designed air-driven winch as well as all outer gear were cast by Tacoma Brass Company and finished by Fred Dravis of Hicks and Bull Company, Tacoma. All are still with the boat and functioning well. MITLITE (THEA FOSS) was originally powered with a 66hp Washington full Diesel and she was also equipped with an Atlas Imperial lighting outfit with a belt driven Westinghouse 32 volt generator on the main engine.

  • Persian Gulf Sailing
    Persian Gulf Sailing Ali Parsa In 1998 a shipwreck was found near the Indonesian island of Belitung. The cargo was almost 60,000pieces of Imperial quality Chinese ceramics, some fine porcelain pieces and silver and gold artifacts. Some of the pieces had dates on them which established the date of the cargo to be 826 AD, almost 1,200 years ago. The ship was a hand-made wooden craft, better known these days as a dhow. This magnificent find shows there was maritime trade between China and the Middle East at least 1,200 years ago, and also it shows that Persian Gulf sailors sailed very long expanses of the oceans much earlier than previously thought. Even today you can see these hand-made wooden vessels used in the waters of the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, albeit without sails and using diesel engines. What is a dhow? Dhow is the English name for many kinds of traditional Middle Eastern, African and Indian wooden ships and boats. The term is not used in those areas by the native people. In the Persian Gulf the term Jahazat (which is Arabic for ‘vessels’) is used instead of dhows. There are unique names for many kinds of dhows, depending onthe hull shape and also on the locality. Some of these names are: Baghlah, Mashwah, Shouii, Badan, Kouti, Battil, Boum, Sanbouk, Parakeh, Fellukeh, Ghoncheh. Many of these names are specific to locations and some are no longer in use, as the hull itself is no longer built. Of these, the boumhas been considered by local sailors to be the best ocean-going vessel through the centuries.

  • Bresillac Souvenir Vol 3 ENG.Pdf
    MARION BRESILLAC SOUVENIRS VOL 3 LE JOURNAL D'UN MISSIONNAIRE (1849 - 1854) S.M.A. 1991 Cum permissu superiorum Patrick J. Harrington, S.M.A., Superior General, Rome, 25th June, 1991 French edition prepared by an S.M.A. team Put into present-day English by Bob Hales, S.M.A The present digital edition was prepared with the kind assistance of Dolores McCrystal and Joan Quinn. Cover design by Ann McCarthy, Ballinadee PART I – THE LAST FlVE YEARS IN INDIA 1849 – Outnumbered 1041 1850 - Fight for a Solution or just get out? 1069 1851 - Ball now in Rome’s court. Ceylon 1095 1852 - Becoming morally untenable 1159 1853 - On the way out 1179 PART II - JOURNEY TO ROME AND PARIS 1209 Guide to Chapters and Sections 1439 FOREWORD Souvenirs 1 and 2 are based on Marion Bresillac's journal or his personal diary, but they include many longish reflections and letters added in 1855 when he was preparing his Indian memoirs for publication. (They also exclude some remarks which he considered too rough to print, or maybe unfair). The editing and amplifying job stopped suddenly when he had got to the last entry for 1848... Africa beckoned. And the next thing we hear, he is busy founding a new society (S.M.A.) and preparing to go to Dahomey. (The blue Diary 1856-1859 covers that period). Obviously, he had not much time to work on his journal after that. So what we have here in Souvenirs 3 is his "raw" Missionary Journal (1849-1854) without subtraction or addition.

  • 1985 Dyer Dhow Sailing and Rowing Dink for Sale $1,200
    1985 Dyer Dhow Sailing and Rowing Dink For Sale $1,200 Enjoy the classic Dyer Dhow rowing and sailing dinghy that has attracted a devoted following. The proven "hard chine" or flat bottom Dhow design lets you carry four people and more gear with greater stability than comparable round bottom dinghies. And unlike inflatables, you can tow and row the Dhow with ease. And of course, the sailing model is the perfect junior trainer. The boat includes: Sail rig (mast, boom, rudder and centerboard – NO Main sail, Centerboard stuck in trunk, handle broken) Oars and oar locks Maximum weight 450 lbs. About Dyer Dhow The Dyer Dhow is a good-looking and versatile tender that’s easily rowed and lovely under sail….The Dhow features three seats and has a centerboard that can be lowered when sailing. The two-piece spruce mast takes just minutes to put together and step, and it’s held in place by three stays. At 106 pounds, the Dhow is a little heavy to lift on deck, though it’s certainly doable with a halyard and winch. For coastal cruising, it’s a boat that will most likely be towed if davits aren’t available. Ashore, the dinghy’s easily moved around on a dolly. In sailing mode, the boat is perfect for one adult, though two would still find it comfortable. As a tender, it can carry four, or up to 650 pounds. Kids? Pile them in and they’ll have a ball.
