  • 627 Harwich Vessels 1872-1900
    627 HARWICH VESSELS 1872-1900 APPROVED BY: THE THE SIDNEY BROOKS SCHOLARS HARWICH HISTORICAL SOCIETY Al: BROOKS ACADEMY MUSEUM 1998 INTRODUCTION AB OUT HARWICH Every indicator points to a rich maritime heritage for the Town of Harwich. The Official United States Census for 1850 shows that 71% of the males of Harwich, age fifteen and older, were "mariners", or, "master mariners", indicating that their work was aboard ship, at sea. The Census also shows clearly, the change in employment that took place in Harwich, as in many other coastal towns in New England, from 1850 to 1900. The development of the railroad and the steamship, made commerce under sail obsolete by the turn of the century, or shortly, thereafter. By 1900, the Census data places 24% of Harwich males in the "mariner", "master marine?' category. A dramatic change from 1850!! ABOUT THE SIDNEY BROOKS SCHOLARS In 1995, the Executive Committee of the Harwich Historical Society approved the formation of the "SIDNEY BROOKS SCHOLARS", to undertake original research at the Brooks Academy Museum. The group drew its name from the founder of Brooks Academy, and his custom of referring to all his students, male or female, as the "Scholars". The present-day "Scholars" are: Lee Robinson Chase (LC) Gale Crowell Pina (GP) John L. Roche (JLR) Estelle Holmes (EH) Kathleen Remillard (KR) Roy Terwilliger (ROYT) Sally Ann Owens (SAO) Wayne Robinson (WR) George Thurlow (GT) (A Scholar's initials after a vessel's name, in the INDEX, indicates authorship) ABOUT THE RESEARCH The following pages contain information regarding 621 vessels having some kind of Harwich connection, during the period from 1872 to 1900/01.

  • Sound and Modernity in Joseph Conrad's London Fiction
    1 Sound and Modernity in Joseph Conrad’s London Fiction A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Patricia Jane Pye Royal Holloway College University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I Patricia Jane Pye hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed ________________ Dated ________________ 3 Abstract While Conrad’s representation of London has previously been discussed, these readings have not considered his auditory impressions of the city. This thesis explores this neglected area, in the context of London’s changing ‘soundscape’ in the late-Victorian and early- Edwardian period. These changes encompassed a reconstructed topography and conflicts over public spaces, in addition to the appearance of new auditory technologies. The thesis argues for the significance of Conrad’s sound impressions in this urban context, posing the original question of whether his fictionalized city ‘sounds modern’. Alongside the rapid development of a popular press, the 1890s also witnessed a resurgence of interest in oratory, as the power of the ‘platform’ played its own part in influencing social change. Chapter 1 focuses on The Nigger of the ‘Narcissus’ and considers Conrad’s representation of London’s social agitators, together with his auditory impressions of the city’s vast crowd. More broadly, the chapter also explores the contemporary figure of the ‘workman orator’, as characterized through The Secret Agent’s Verloc. Chapter 2 focuses on the silences and noises of ‘The Return’, arguing that these express much about London’s social topographics and contemporary fears about urban disorder.
