Mike Vetterlein contributed indirectly as have Rick Cummins of Rock Addiction, Rab Anderson and Bruce Kerr. Andy Long from Lerwick, Shetland. has contributed directly with a lot of the hard information about Shetland. Thanks are also due to Margaret of the Alpine Club library for assistance in looking up old journals.

This was done in order to create a world-wide web version of the guide. Mike Caine of the Manx Fell and Rock Club then helped with route information from his Manx climbing web site. -

Boats Fact Sheets 3
Name That Boat! A boat’s name can tell a lot about its owner, for example their life philosophy, passions or who their loved ones are. They often also contain a funny pun. Here are some fun pun names of boats already out there: Boaty McBoatface (named after a public poll) Current-Sea Usain Boat (named after the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt) Knot Shore Above: After a public poll voted to have this boat The Codfather named Boaty McBoatface, the owners thought it Vitamin Sea was too silly and it has since been renamed HMS Sea Ya David Attenborough Many boat names also come from classic books, lms and television. Here are some: Sirius and The Unicorn are just two of the boats in The Adventures of Tin-Tin books by Herge that often had lots of nautical adventure. Wonkatania transports the children through the factory on an exhilarating ride in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Jolly Roger was the name of Captain Hook’s ship in the Peter Pan stories by JM Barrie. Swallow and Amazon are the names of the two sailing dinghies featured in the Swallow’s and Amazon’s adventure series by Arthur Ransome. The Mongolia and The Henrietta are just two of the steamer ships featured in Around the World in 80 days, Jules Verne classic novel where Phileas Fogg and assistant Passepartout set out to circumnavigate the globe in order to win a bet.

Response to Chris's Presentation About British Pirates
Response to Chris’s presentation about British Pirates From Stephen Gill Thank you, Chris, for your interesting and informative essay on pirates. What follows is based upon two volumes in my collection of books which seemed relevant to the subject and might be of interest. Firstly, many years ago I bought second hand a book published in 1925 by CL Kingsford entitled ‘Prejudice and Promise in Fifteenth Century England’. These were expanded lectures given as the Ford Lectures at Oxford University in 1923. One essay in the book is ‘West Country Piracy: The School of English Seamen’. (As a digression, Kingsford was an interesting character – after university he worked on the Dictionary of National Biography, as an Examiner in the nascent Education department of government, as a civil servant and as a Special Constable during WW1. He never held an academic appointment but was recognised then and since as one of the major authorities on 15th century England, writing a biography of Henry V, editing many published volumes of chronicles and state records, and books on the history of London.) The essay is based upon government and court records of attempts to enforce the statutes governing the freedom of the sea which various governments passed or renewed at intervals during the century. The records suggest that the law might have prohibited piracy and privateering but its enforcement, as Chris demonstrates in his piece re e.g., John Hawley of Dartmouth, was stymied by the connivance or active participation of local worthies in the very acts of piracy that they were mean to enforce. -
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Winter's Edge by Neil Gaiman Journal
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Winter's Edge by Neil Gaiman Journal. Why you should see WINTER'S TALE and other deep thoughts about stuff. Last night, I went to see WINTER'S TALE , Mark Helprin's remarkable novel, made into a film by writer (and now director) Akiva Goldsman. Firstly: I really, really enjoyed it. Akiva took a huge, sprawling novel that spans over a hundred years and took the elements he needed from it to tell the story he had to tell. He made it small, of necessity. It's a fantasy movie, with demons and angels and a flying horse: it contains a noble burglar, a beautiful dying pianist, an absolutely terrifying Russell Crowe, Will Smith stealing scenes as Lucifer, and New York, New York all the way. Secondly, I'd seen a trailer or two before I went to see it. And the trailer is, well it's wrong. It tells you it's going to be a specific kind of movie and it isn't that. It's not really a love story, small l about the love between two attractive people who want to do kissing, although it may be a Love story (capital L about Love, and who and what we love, and why, and what it means for those we love to die). If you like fantasy, or New York, or magical realism, you should see it. You really should. (You should also read the book. And John Crowley's novel Little, Big, which was published about the same time.) The screening audience loved it. -
