    UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration Since

    H-Early-America UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration since C18 Discussion published by John Daniel Saillant on Monday, August 25, 2014 Aaron Mulvany Monday, August 25, 2014 H-Asia DEADLINE: 5 September 2014 The Art Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund have generously funded a series of seminars (‘Travellers’ Tails’) at the National Maritime Museum and partner museums around the UK to investigate the histories, practices and interpretation of art, science and exploration from the Enlightenment to the present day. The seminars will bring together scholars, artists, scientists, explorers, members of the public and museum professionals to examine the changing nature, impact and legacies of European exploration since the mid-18th century. The seminars will focus on today’s audiences and discuss the display and interpretation of the material culture of exploration within gallery, heritage and museum environments. Seminars will interrogate the relevance of the subject and issues surrounding its presentation in a post-imperial world. George Stubbs’ iconic paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum, will provide a starting point for wider-ranging papers and discussion within a multi-disciplinary environment. Proposals of no longer than 250 words, for presentations of 20 minutes, should be sent to [email protected] by no later than Friday, 5 September 2014. We welcome submissions for papers and less-formal presentations from academics, curators, artists and other specialists in the fields. Proposals from

  • The Cutty Sark

    The Cutty Sark

    P a g e | 1 THE CUTTY SARK The “Cutty Sark” was a British clipper ship, aptly named of course as a [clipper for its speed1], which was built in 1869 on the [river Clyde in Scotland2] by the Jock Willis Shipping Corporation.3 It was primarily used to transport tea from China to Great Britain, as well to a lesser extent later in its life, wool from Australia;4 however, with the advent of the steam engines and the creation also of the Suez Canal in 1869, its days of operation as a sailing vessel were numbered, as the steam ships were now prevailing as technologically advanced cargo carriers through the shorter route by the Suez Canal to China. In fact, within a few years of its operation, as its delegation in the tea industry was declining, it was assigned primarily the duty of transporting wool from Australia to England, but this activity was thwarted again by the steam ships, as they were enabled by their technologies to travel faster to Australia. Eventually, the “Cutty Sark” in 1895 was sold to a Portuguese company called “Ferreira and Co.”, where it continued to operate as a cargo ship until 1922, when it was purchased on that year by the retired sea captain Wilfred Dowman, who used it as a training ship in the town of Falmouth in Cornwall. After his death, the ship was conferred as a gesture of good will to the “Thames Nautical Training College” in Greenhithe in 1938, where it became an 1 “Clipper – Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper, 2013: p.1.

    "Keeping Things Shipshape", Conservation Management on HMS

    ‘Keeping Things Shipshape’ Conservation Management on HMS Belfast MA Museum Studies 2013 Amy Foulds Abstract Amy Foulds Word Count: 12, 770 ‘Keeping Things Shipshape’: Conservation Management on HMS Belfast This study aims to highlight the difficulties of conserving historic ships when they are required to function as an accessible museum as well as officially being an accessioned museum object, and how these difficulties can be successfully managed. By framing the assessment of HMS Belfast’s conservation management plan in the wider debate surrounding large object conservation and the levels of restoration rather than preservation that have been considered acceptable in the past, the key shift in attitude to a more ethical, museum-focused approach can be better appreciated. Through interviews with staff and volunteers directly involved in the conservation process, an idea of how the ship’s Conservation Policy was created and how it can be implemented to ensure the preservation of the ship’s original fabric and key historic significance can be gained. Once the contents of the policy and how they affect conservation planning in theory are understood, the impact of providing access and interpretation to visitors, limited resources and external environmental factors is considered, along with the various techniques employed in managing them utilising policy frameworks to ensure minimum destruction of historical evidence. Through contact with other museum ships, benchmarks to assess success can be established, with favourable comparisons being drawn internationally. Finally, there are suggestions for improvements and opportunities for the future, both for HMS Belfast and other historic vessels. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "#$%&'()*+),)%-.! ! Firstly I would like to show my appreciation to my Dissertation Supervisor, Dieter Hopkin, and the Museum Studies Department at the University of Leicester for all of their advice and guidance during the completion of this project.
