  • A Short History of Oxton 1800-1900 by Ray Johnson A
    A SHORT HISTORY OF OXTON 1800-1900 BY RAY JOHNSON A Short Diversion The modern town of Birkenhead stands upon what was once the wooded headland jutting out into the River Mersey. The name Birkenhead is probably descriptive of the ancient place in that it is most likely meaning is the "headland of birch trees". Great areas of the Wirral were once heavily forested and almost its entire Mersey shoreline must then have looked something like the scene we can still see today in the area of Eastham Ferry. Here great trees sweep down to the River Mersey and balance themselves at the very edge of rocky banks. The wooded headland that is now Birkenhead would once have been just like that. The headland must have seemed like a finger of land pointing out into the River Mersey towards the Liverpool bank, for there was, on the other side of it, a large natural pool. On the south side, the Tranmere Pool ran inland for almost a mile and it is believed that this place was the Somreford (ie Some Ford) referred to in the Domesday Book, since it is known that it was possible to cross the Pool at time of lower summer tides, by stepping on stepping stones. It is also known that the stepping stones were still in use in 1790 when an embankment was built to replace them and to carry the new Chester Road across the pool. To the north of the headland lay the Wallasey Pool - 1 mile wide at its mouth and stretching so far inland that it almost cut across the Wirral completely.

  • Ship Models That Ought to Be Built
    Ship Models that Ought to be Built Howard I. Chapelle Published by the Nautical Research Guild and Model Ship World. The following article which appeared in the Nautical Research Journal and Ship Modeler's Shop Notes is reprinted here to give guidance to builders who desire to construct accurate and representative ship models. This material is as applicable now as when it was first written. The opinions expressed here are those of the author and are not necessarily those of the Nautical Research Guild. Nautical Research Journal, Volume 4, Number 4 (April 1952), and Ship Modeler's Shop Notes. Ship Models that Ought to be Built 2 In an earlier article I expressed some opinions on ship models that ought not be built. Many readers of this journal did not agree with me and expressed their disagreements. I must say I have not been impressed by the reasons given for disagreement for I cannot yet understand why a modeler would want to build a model that he knows is not the ship it is supposed to be. On the other hand I know too well that accurate, or reasonably accurate, plans of some very interesting craft are not easily found. However, there are a huge number of plans in existence and I am sure that most will agree with me if I say that among these are certainly many possibilities for very valuable and informative models. Now, I admit I have an ulterior motive in bringing up this subject. I recently asked our long-suffering editor (Merritt Edson) to ascertain what ships interested model builders in the Guild so that some plan could be assembled for the pages of the Journal.

Ohio Sttite University Press $6.50 America, IXuaata, S>emp, anb Napoleon American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1812 BY ALFRED W. CROSBY, JR. On the twelfth of June, 1783, a ship of 500 tons sailed into the Russian harbor of Riga and dropped anchor. As the tide pivoted her around her mooring, the Russians on the waterfront could see clearly the banner that she flew — a strange device of white stars on a blue ground and horizontal red and white stripes. Russo-American trade had irrevocably begun. Merchants — Muscovite and Yankee — had met and politely sounded the depths of each other's purses. And they had agreed to do business. In the years that followed, until 1812, the young American nation became economically tied to Russia to a degree that has not, perhaps, been realized to date. The United States desperately needed Russian hemp and linen; the American sailor of the early nineteenth century — who was possibly the most important individual in the American economy — thought twice before he took any craft not equipped with Russian rigging, cables, and sails beyond the harbor mouth. To an appreciable extent, the Amer­ ican economy survived and prospered because it had access to the unending labor and rough skill of the Russian peasant. The United States found, when it emerged as a free (Continued on back flap) America, Hossia, fiemp, and Bapolcon American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1812 America, llussia, iicmp, and Bapolton American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1811 BY ALFRED W.

LONDON First Published in ipn PREFACE the arrangement and equipment of WITHlibraries this essay has little to do : the ground being already covered adequately by Dr. Clark in his admirable monograph on The Care of Books. Herein is described the making, use, and circulation of books considered as a means of literary culture. It seemed possible to throw a useful sidelight on literary history, and to introduce some human interest into the study of bibliography, if the place held by books in the life of the Middle Ages could be indicated. Such, at all events, was my aim, but I am far from sure of my success in it out and I offer this book as carrying ; merely a discursive and popular treatment of a subject which seems to me of great interest. The book has suffered from one unhappy circum- stance. It was planned in collaboration with my friend Mr. James Hutt, M.A., but unfortunately, owing to a breakdown of health, Mr. Hutt was only able to help me in the composition of the chapter on the Libraries of Oxford, which is chiefly his work.

Two conspicuous headlands strike the attention of the European voyager approaching the North Atlantic coast. Reaching out boldly seaward they serve to mark the general direction of the shore, yet between them a vast expanse of' water stretches to the north a day's sail beyond sight. These headlands are Cape Sable and Cape Cod,' whose outer lights range with each other about east-north-east anci west-south­ west, and are distant in a right line about 250 miles. Facing this line, at an average distance of 125 miles, lies the const of Maine; fronted right and left by these two capes-great salients lying out like couchant lions guarding its broad approach.
