Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

This note offers a summary of the relationship between the Irish state1 and the United Kingdom in those fields, and some thoughts on possible implications for Scottish independence. 1. Nationality Law 1.1 The Irish case A new nationality The nationality law of a new state must necessarily provide for two matters: an initial population of nationals on the date of independence, and the acquisition and loss of nationality on an ongoing basis. In the case of the Irish state, the initial population was defined by Article 3 of the Irish Free State Constitution of 1922. Article 3 conferred Irish Free State citizenship upon a person if they were domiciled in the “area of the jurisdiction of the Irish Free State” on the date the state was founded (6 December 1922), provided (a) they had been resident in that area for the previous seven years, or (b) they or one of their parents had been born in “Ireland”.2 A full framework of nationality law, covering all aspects of acquisition and loss of nationality, was not then adopted until the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1935.

  • Water and Marine Advisor the Department of Defence Proposes Maintenance Dredging Works at the Naval Base, Haulbowline, Co. Cork
    Water and Marine Advisor The Department of Defence proposes maintenance dredging works at the Naval Base, Haulbowline, Co. Cork. The dredging works will consist of dredging 14,000m3 from the inner basin at the naval base (Area A, Foreshore Approval Map) and 3000m3 from an approach channel (Area B, Foreshore Licence Map 1) to 5.5m below chart datum. The dredged spoil will be dumped at sea (Dump Site, Foreshore Licence Map 2). The works are required to ensure the proper and continued operation of the Naval Base and are in the public interest. The works will be completed by Trailer Suction Hopper Dredging with some subsequent bed leveling. The inner basin at Haulbowline is privately owned foreshore so approval under section 10 of the Foreshore Act is required. The approach channel and dump site are on state owned foreshore so a licence under Section 3 of the Foreshore Act is required. Dumping at Sea Permit Reg No S0005-02 has been granted by the EPA for the Loading and Dumping.

Introduction This planning approval is submitted for the approval of the Board under the provisions of 181(3) of the Planning & Development Acts 2000- 2010 for the remediation of East Tip on Haulbowline Island. The request was made by RPS consultants on behalf of Cork County Council. This proposal is also subject to a waste license application to the EPA under Section 40 the Waste Management Acts 1996-2013. Foreshore consents may also be required. An oral hearing into this proposal was heard on the 19 th March 2014 at the Clarion Hotel, Cork. 2. Site Description Photographs of the site and environs are attached in the appendix to this report. Cork Harbour Haulbowline Island is a prominent feature within the Inner Harbour of Cork. The Inner Harbour is roughly the area enclosed by the headland of Ringaskiddy to the south and Cobh to the north. The area is accessed by sea from the Outer Harbour, which is separated from the Inner harbour by Spike Island with a channel on either side – the eastern channel being the main navigable entrance. Passage to Lough Mahon and Cork Harbour is through the Inner Harbour via West Passage, a channel some 300 metres wide. The area has a long maritime history with long established historic moorings at Cobh and Haulbowline Island and modern deepwater harbours at Ringaskiddy and Whitegate.

  • Toxic Island
    TOXIC ISLAND INDUSTRIAL CONTAMINATION AT THE FORMER SITE OF THE IRISH STEEL PLANT AT HAULBOWLINE ISLAND, COUNTY CORK A Report by Friends of the Irish Environment January 2009 This Report contains sensitive information and photographs. It has been prepared solely to enable Friends of the Irish Environment and the wider public to consider collectively how best to ensure the long term protection of the environment at the industrial site at Haulbowline Island in Cork Harbour. Annotated lists of the referenced documents form a companion ‘Briefing Document’ in the FIE online library: http://www.friendsoftheirishenvironment.net/cmsfiles/files/library/haulbowline_briefing_document_30.01.09.pdf Above: Home of the first sailing club in the world in 1720, Haulbowline Island is a unique Irish example of a predominantly 19th century purpose built naval dockyard complex. It was established during 1806 – 1822; the Irish Government acquired ownership in 1923 but only took control in 1938. The East Tip made ground is at the right. Cover: Waste from many years of steel plant operations was bagged and buried in ‘cells’ on the large East Tip and in two smaller historic tips. Legislative changes in the UK during the plant’s operation led to UK landfills no longer accepting the most toxic dust cake from the dust extraction system, which was then also mixed with waste refractory materials and disposed on in the East Tip. Below: The island has an intrinsic relationship with Cobh, Spike Island, Fort Camden and Fort Carlisle. While currently unzoned, it is an Architectural Conservation Area and contains Protected Structures. It houses the Navy’s 1100 personnel and part of University College Cork’s Marine Institute.

  • British Military Recruitment in Ireland During the Crimean War, 1854-56
    British Journal for Military History, Volume 2, Issue 1, November 2015 British Military Recruitment in Ireland during the Crimean War, 1854-56 PAUL HUDDIE University of West London Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ireland has a diverse military historiography, principally within the confines of the British Army. Much has been written to date in relation to Ireland’s relationship with that service, particularly in recent years and with a focus upon the Great War. Yet significant gaps still remain in relation to the nineteenth century. By analysing the relationship between Irish society and the British Armed Forces, through the lens of recruitment, this article illustrates how and why the Crimean War years represent the positive pinnacle of Ireland’s relationship with the empire and the British Army and Royal Navy. As Tom Bartlett and Keith Jeffery highlighted in A Military History of Ireland, the island of Ireland has a diverse military historiography, yet even today substantial gaps exist which serve to limit the wider understanding of Irish society’s and Irish individuals’ interactions with the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and British Empire.1 Even though substantial focus has to date been given to the Irish interactions with the British Army, especially in the early twentieth century and principally during the Great War, comparatively little has been done in relation to the nineteenth century.2 No effort has been made to investigate the Napoleonic Wars in the same way that Bartlett and Jeffery have done for the Irish soldier in general and there is only minimal concern to place the Crimean War within its wider ‘social and political contexts’.3 Even the Boer War remains neglected with Donal McCracken’s important works being focused on nationalism.4 In Britain, and in relation to the Crimean War, Myna Trustrum, Helen Rappaport, Olive Anderson, H.J.
