'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum. -
Fishing Gear and Methods for Off-Shore Fishing in Sri Lanka
Fishing gear and methods for off-shore fishing in Sri Lanka Item Type article Authors Pajot, G.

PAJOT* P.reface This paper describes the commercially viable off-shore fishing methods for catching known commercial resources available around Sri Lanka. Also the in-shore fishing methods such ::l.S bait fishery which are related and of prime importance for carrying out certain off-shore methods are described. This paper may serve as a background material for the description of fishing methods and to discussions on their various aspects connected with the operation of those fisheries. Introduction Fishing methods to be applied are determined by known commercially exploitable resources within operating range from a base. As discussed by Dr. Sivasubramaruam on the prevwus paper the Known commercmuy exploitable 1·esomces are of pelagic nature. Deep-sea demersal resources are stili unknown and no commercial scale fishery have even been done and should not be without further experimental investigation which would determine the future commercial value of such resomce· and indicate what vessel, gear technology should be used. As a result the fishing methods to be discussed are as follows : (1) Long lining for large pelagic species such as large Tuna (YeHow:fin, Bigeye), Shark, spearfish and others ; (2) Driftnetting for small and large Tuna species (Skipjack, YeUow:fin and others), shark, spearfish, etc. ; (3) Pole and line for small deep-sea pelagic species such as Skipjaclc, YeUowfi.n, Frigate mackerel, etc.; (4) Purse seining (small scale) for small pelagic species suitable as bait fish for pole and line and longline fisheries. -

Gaelic Names of Plants
[DA 1] <eng> GAELIC NAMES OF PLANTS [DA 2] “I study to bring forth some acceptable work: not striving to shew any rare invention that passeth a man’s capacity, but to utter and receive matter of some moment known and talked of long ago, yet over long hath been buried, and, as it seemed, lain dead, for any fruit it hath shewed in the memory of man.”—Churchward, 1588. [DA 3] GAELIC NAMES OE PLANTS (SCOTTISH AND IRISH) COLLECTED AND ARRANGED IN SCIENTIFIC ORDER, WITH NOTES ON THEIR ETYMOLOGY, THEIR USES, PLANT SUPERSTITIONS, ETC., AMONG THE CELTS, WITH COPIOUS GAELIC, ENGLISH, AND SCIENTIFIC INDICES BY JOHN CAMERON SUNDERLAND “WHAT’S IN A NAME? THAT WHICH WE CALL A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET.” —Shakespeare. WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCLXXXIII All Rights reserved [DA 4] [Blank] [DA 5] TO J. BUCHANAN WHITE, M.D., F.L.S. WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO NATURAL SCIENCE, AT WHOSE SUGGESTION THIS COLLECTION OF GAELIC NAMES OF PLANTS WAS UNDERTAKEN, This Work IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. [DA 6] [Blank] [DA 7] PREFACE. THE Gaelic Names of Plants, reprinted from a series of articles in the ‘Scottish Naturalist,’ which have appeared during the last four years, are published at the request of many who wish to have them in a more convenient form. There might, perhaps, be grounds for hesitation in obtruding on the public a work of this description, which can only be of use to comparatively few; but the fact that no book exists containing a complete catalogue of Gaelic names of plants is at least some excuse for their publication in this separate form. -

Final New River Plan 2004
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District Office, 1300 Airport Lane, North Bend, OR 97459 NEW RIVER AREA OF CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN MANAGEMENT PLAN Updated May 2004 ii iii iv VISION STATEMENT New River is a dynamic, ever-changing system influenced by biological, climatological, geo-physical, and fluvial processes. The river and adjacent lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are in a special management category known as the New River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). The New River ACEC is managed to maintain biodiversity and quality habitats for native communities of plants, birds, animals, and fish. It also provides protection to cultural sites and affords educational, interpretive, and recreational opportunities to the visiting public in a manner consistent with the primary goals of protecting natural and cultural resources. BLM’s vision of the New River area includes protecting or enhancing habitats for a diversity of wildlife and plant species. Varied ecosystems such as meadows, forests, wetlands, coastal lakes, open sand dunes, and the New River estuary will continue to support this biodiversity. This includes a more stable meandering river with greater riparian vegetation. BLM also envision a visiting public that will appreciate and enjoy the varied ecosystems protected at New River in a way that will not degrade the naturalness of the setting or the quality of the visitor experience. BLM will manage the ACEC primarily for non-motorized public use that is compatible with the semi-primitive natural setting evident throughout most of the area. v vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Vision Statement . -

Oregon's Spectacular Coast
Oregon’s Spectacular Coast Oregon Coast – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster The 363-mile Oregon coast is one of the world’s spectacular parks because it is all public land, owned by the people of Oregon. Legislative action in 1913 and in 1967 set aside the coastline for “free and uninterrupted use” of the people. Billboards are controlled, making the appearance entirely unlike the Southern California coast, for example. Oswald West, the governor who defended the public coastline early in the century, tapped a progressive strain in Oregonians that remains alive today. In the past, when Oregon assumed a somewhat smug “Visit But Don’t Stay” attitude of provincial isolationism toward outsiders, the Oregon coast was one of the state amenities that citizens meant to protect. In 1973 the state’s landmark returnable-bottle bill insured that the coast, as well as the rest of Oregon, would remain relatively litter-free. This rugged coast offers unusual diversity to the traveler. If forced to select one superlative element that distinguishes it, a good choice would be the huge dunes in the 32,000-acre Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, located about two-thirds of the way down the coast. Mile after mile of monumental, shifting sand dunes remind one of Death Valley in California. Aside from the dunes, the Oregon coast offers forests, seashore, beach combing, camping, tide pools, and fishing. There are 74 state parks and recreation areas along the roadway, including some that preserve virgin vestiges of some of the greatest coniferous forest in North America. The parks beckon the traveler to leave the car and actively enjoy the beach, the trails, and the hillsides with a walk. -
