  • Santa Cruz Sentinel Columns by Gary Griggs, Director, Institute of Marine Sciences, UC Santa Cruz
    Our Ocean Backyard –– Santa Cruz Sentinel columns by Gary Griggs, Director, Institute of Marine Sciences, UC Santa Cruz. #73 January 29, 2011 Ships of cement The SantaCruzCement taking on a load of dry cement at the former wharf below the cliffs in Davenport opposite the cement plan. Santa Cruz County is probably one of the only places around that has had three large “cement” ships in its coastal history, none of which was made solely of cement. All of the ships dated from the early part of the last century, and each used for very different purposes. One of the natural resources of the Santa Cruz Mountains’ that was exploited early on was limestone, actually marble, a basic raw material for making cement. When the Davenport cement plant was being constructed in 1905, there wasn’t yet a railroad up the north coast, but it wasn’t long until trestles were built across the canyons and tracks were laid. A direct rail connection up the coast to San Francisco was never completed, so cement had to be transported through a longer and more indirect route, south past Watsonville, through Chittenden Pass, and then north to the bay area. An idea was hatched, which seemed like a great solution at the time; transport the cement by ship directly to Stockton where it was to be offloaded. So as only engineers can, a pier was boldly designed and constructed in the early 1930s starting from the sea cliff opposite the cement plant. A pile driver was lowered down the cliff and steel piles were driven into the seafloor.

Cover photograph: Hull of the ‘Cretetree’ as photographed on the Isle of Scalpay, near Ardinashaig, Harris, Western Isles, Scotland, by Marc Calhoun. https://marccalhoun.blogspot.co.uk This book has been published on an entirely non-profit basis, and made available to all online free of charge as a pdf. The aim of the book is to make the history of ships built by the Aberdeen Concrete Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., available to a wider audience. There is much available on the internet, especially on www.aberdeenships.com which gives much more details from many newspapers not stated in this publication. However, what’s currently available is scattered and doesn’t readily give the full picture when looking at the perspective from an individual shipbuilding company. If you have any comments regarding this book, or any further information, especially photographs or paintings of ships where I have none. It would be historically good to show at least one for each ship, and since this is an electronic edition it will be possible to update and include any new information. I can be contacted at [email protected] If printing this book, it is best printed as an A5 booklet.

  • The History of Galveston's Concrete Ships
    THE HISTORY OF GALVESTON’S CONCRETE SHIPS A Thesis by DOROTHY ANNE ROWLAND Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Kevin Crisman Committee Members, Donny L. Hamilton Zachary Grasley Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2018 Major Subject: Maritime Archaeology and Conservation Copyright 2018 Dorothy Rowland ABSTRACT Selma is one of three World War I concrete shipwrecks in the Galveston area. While the other two are not identified, one of them is likely the Durham. This research explores how and why these ships ended their service here, and looks at the different methods used for the creation of early concrete ships and the differences in their performance. Selma, one of twelve Emergency Fleet Corporation ships, had a much different design than Durham, but both of the ships were out of use quickly after launch. Selma ran aground and damaged its bow; it was subsequently taken to Galveston for repairs that never occurred. Durham proved to be a very poor sailor, but remained afloat for many more years before becoming a fishing pier in Galveston. Both of these ships have histories of re-use that last beyond their abandonment. This research focuses on the history and construction of Selma and Durham. The text discusses the developments that lead to the development of these ships and how they fared after construction. Additionally, visual survey of how the condition of Selma has changed over time is included. ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my parents.

  • Research and Applications of Concrete During World War I Vyta
    Engineering the Permanent Material: Research and Applications of Concrete During World War I Vyta Baselice, The George Washington University In 1904, the American Society for Testing Materials produced specifications for manufacturing cement. To test consistency, researchers were instructed to first create a paste by mixing cement with water, form it into a ball with their hands, and then complete the process by “tossing [the ball] six times from one hand to the other, maintained about six inches apart.”1 Resembling cooking rather than industrial manufacturing, early practices of cement testing were deeply inaccurate and unreliable. The making of concrete was similarly inconsistent, involving a haphazard pouring and mixing of various materials whose properties were virtually unknown and quantities poorly calculated. Research and application efforts of concrete during World War I radically transformed the making and testing of this “civilizing medium.” Indeed, American manufacturers reveled in the fact that while the invention of concrete could be traced to Europe, its elevation to a material of ubiquity rested in the expert hands of American researchers.2 Employing wartime scientific advances in geological research, testing, and construction, American scientists learned to engineer the material to build almost anything. This paper argues that the wartime investments that the American government, universities, and businesses made in concrete technologies cemented American dominance of the industry and shaped global knowledge of the material. By examining the work of governmental bodies and science organizations, like the Emergency Fleet Corporation and the National Research Council, alongside that of private players, like the Edison Portland Cement Company, the narrative brings to light the conflict’s transformation of the American concrete industry and its new positioning on the global stage.

  • FLEET of STONE a Hull Made of Artificial Stone Seemed Scarcely More Than an Concrete Has Been a Novel Hull Material for 150 Years
    Reinforced concrete has been a novel shipbuilding material for a very long time. Concrete strengthened by iron bars was patented in 1848 by French inventor Joseph Monier – who, it is said, was seeking to build a better flowerpot – and within a few years was on its way to acceptance as a material for small building construction. The public’s first mass exposure to concrete hull technology came in 1855 at the Universal Exposition in Paris, where visitors were greeted by a reinforced concrete rowboat built by Joseph- Louis Lambot. Though Lambot’s creation won kudos for novel use of new technology, it failed to commercialize the concrete hull. Wood was still the shipbuilding materi- al of choice, with iron only beginning to gain acceptance.

The progression of research defined the themes of wartime production and wartime service. The greater Savannah community was greatly involved in wartime production through the conversion of the Port of Savannah into a military cargo port for Lend-lease goods and the development of wartime industries manufacturing paper, asphalt, naval ships, and much more. Wartime service along the waterfront included citizen soldiers and sailors volunteering in civilian and military organizations, including the Savannah-Chatham County Defense Council and the United States Coast Guard Temporary Reserve’s Volunteer Port Security Force.
