Maritime History at the University of Exeter MARITIME HISTORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EXETER A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WRITINGS SINCE 1964 Compiled by CELIA KING and ALSTON KENNERLEY University of Exeter Centre for Maritime Historical Studies 2006 © Celia King and Alston Kennerley Cover illustration: Port of Brixham 1837 (Celia King collection) MARITIME HISTORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EXETER A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WRITINGS SINCE 1964 Compiled by Celia King and Alston Kennerley Contents Introduction List of abbreviations Bibliography A General works 1 Bi Regional studies: the south-west peninsula 2 Bii Regional studies: other British 5 Biii Regional studies: overseas 5 C The slave trade 6 D Privateering and piracy 7 E Fisheries 8 F Passenger trades 9 G Exploration, cartography, navigation and marine science 10 H Colonisation and empire 11 J Shipbuilding and technology 11 K Vessels 13 Li Maritime labour: working conditions, education, welfare and health 13 Lii Maritime labour: seamanship and shiphandling 15 M Coastguard, smuggling, wreck and rescue 15 Ni Naval: general 15 Nii Naval: strategy and battles 17 Niii Naval: establishments 19 Niv Naval: personnel 20 P Recreation and tourism 21 Q Biography 22 R Sources 24 Author index 26 Subject index 30 INTRODUCTION This Bibliography has been produced in connection with the Fortieth Annual University of Exeter Maritime History Conference, held at the University 9-10 September 2006, partly as a means of illustrating Exeter’s contribution to Maritime History, but more importantly as a tool for historians. It is hoped that it will form the basis for a living bibliography to be accessible through the website of the University of Exeter Centre for Maritime Historical Studies. Covering publications from 1964, this start date has been chosen as it is the year in which the University formed the Department of Economic History and appointed as its head Professor Walter Minchinton. Following the 2004 Maritime History conference, members of the Centre first gave thought to the fortieth conference and determined that such a record, probably exceptional for Maritime History events, should be celebrated. Thus the first session of the 2006 conference will be devoted to an overview of initiatives in Maritime History associated with the University and to separate historiographical assessments of publications associated with the University in Maritime History and in Naval History. The idea of a bibliography followed naturally. The selection of entries spans the past four decades and the basis for inclusion is the association of the authors with the University as members of staff, research students, honorary fellows of the Centre for Maritime Historical Studies, contributors to seminars and conferences organised by the University if subsequently published and works published by the University of Exeter Press. Conscious that much good writing in compilations and unpublished non-doctoral dissertations fails to achieve independent listing elsewhere, the compilers have given special attention to multi-author works and theses. Both have long associations with Maritime History at the University of Exeter dating back to the 1960s, Celia King as one of the first students and the second research assistant in the Department of Economic History and Alston Kennerley as a research student in that Department and later as an honorary fellow of the Centre. Celia King has undertaken most of the literature searching and the typing. The Bibliography is presented in subject classified order, supported by an author index and subject index. For a discussion of the definition of Maritime History and of the problems of selection and classification, we would refer the user to the ‘Introduction’ in David M Williams and Andrew P White, A s elect bibliography of British and Irish university theses about maritime history, 1792-1990 (St John’s, Newfoundland: IMEHA, 1991). In undertaking the literature search we have been helped by past and present University of Exeter historians. But our principal resource has been the facilities to be found in the University Library, and amongst its staff we are particularly indebted to Stuart Macwilliam for his advice and help. We hope and anticipate that further qualifying works will be brought to our attention.

  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

  • Summary History of the Trust a Personal Recollection
    Summary History of the Trust A Personal Recollection Prepared by Peter Goodship Consultant Chief Executive June 2020 1. Introduction It is often said by historians seeking to justify their existence that "if you don't know where you have come from you cannot possibly know where you are going". The Chairman thought it might be helpful if I were to provide all current trustees with a potted history of the Trust from its inception in 1985 to assist your review of strategy. As part of my then role as Chief Executive’s Staff Officer, I was tasked by Portsmouth City Council to set up the Trust after having led the discussions with various agencies in the wake of the 1982 Defence Review. Several of you will recognise aspects of the history from your personal involvement and will no doubt have your own gloss on events and be in a position to expand on them. The views I express are my own, distilled from personal recollection and from research of our minute books, an extraordinarily valuable and precious archive. I have supplemented my own history with a copy of our last published account of our work covering the first twenty years from 1986 to 2006. This adds some colour to the narrative as well as capturing events I have not had the opportunity to cover in this summary. The document pre-dates the Trust’s acquisition of Priddy’s Hard and Explosion Museum from Gosport Borough Council and our revised proposals for the re-use of Boathouse 4. 2. The 1982 John Knott Review of Defence The Trust was born out of the Defence Review of 1982 which led to the closure of Chatham Dockyard, the privatisation of Devonport Dockyard and the slimming down of Portsmouth from a major ship building and repair facility to a Fleet Maintenance and Repair Organisation (FMRO).

  • Unravelling Devon Involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy
    Unravelling Devon involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy MacKeith ‘The early history of the United States of America owes more to Devon than to any other English county.’ Charles Owen (ed.), The Devon-American Story (1980) My task this afternoon is to unravel Devon’s involvement in slave-ownership. I have found the task overwhelming because of constantly finding new information – there are leads to follow down little branches of family trees, there are Devon’s country houses, a wealth of documents, and – of course – the internet. So this is a VERY brief introduction to unravelling Devon’s involvement with slave- ownership – much has been left out. Let’s start with Elias Ball. His story is in Slaves in the Family, written by descendant Edward Ball and published in 1998. Elias Ball by Jeremiah Theus (1716-1774). ‘Elias Ball, ...was born in 1676 in a tiny hamlet in western England called Stokeinteignhead. He inherited a plantation in Carolina at the end of the seventeenth century ...His life shows how one family entered the slave business in the birth hours of America. It is a tale composed equally of chance, choice and blood.’ The book has many Devon links – an enslaved woman called Jenny Buller reminds us of Redvers Buller’s family, a hill in one of the Ball plantations called ‘Hallidon Hill’ reminds us of Haldon Hill just outside Exeter; two family members return to England, one after the American War of Independence. This was Colonel Wambaw Elias Ball who had been involved in trading in enslaved Africans in Carolina. He was paid £12,700 sterling from the British Treasury and a lifetime pension in compensation for the slaves he had lost in the war of independence.

  • The Evolving Relationship Between Food and Tourism: a Case Study Of
    1 THE EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOD AND TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF DEVON THROUGH THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Submitted by: Paul Edward Cleave, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Studies. November 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without prior acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature............................................. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who contributed so generously and patiently of their time and expertise in the completion of this thesis, and especially to my supervisor, Professor Gareth Shaw for his guidance and inspiration. Their unfailing support and encouragement in my endeavours is greatly appreciated. Paul Cleave 3 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to examine the evolving relationship between food and tourism through the twentieth century. Devon, a county in the South West of England, and a popular tourist destination is used as the geographical focus of the case study. Previous studies have tended to focus on particular locations at a fixed point in time, not over the timescale of a century. The research presents a social and economic history of food in the context of tourism. It incorporates many food related interests reflecting the topical and evolving, embracing leisure, pleasure and social history, Burnett (2004).

  • Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality
    Rep. Trans. Devon. Ass. Advmt Sci., 148, 89−130 © The Devonshire Association, June 2016 (Figures 1–8) Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality John Clark MA, FSA, FMA Curator Emeritus, Museum of London, and Honorary Reader, University College London Institute of Archaeology Geoffrey of Monmouth’s largely fi ctional History of the Kings of Britain, written in the 1130s, set the landing place of his legendary Trojan colonists of Britain with their leader Brutus on ‘the coast of Totnes’ – or rather, on ‘the Totnesian coast’. This paper considers, in the context of Geoffrey’s own time and the local topography, what he meant by this phrase, which may refl ect the authority the Norman lords of Totnes held over the River Dart or more widely in the south of Devon. We speculate about the location of ‘Goemagot’s Leap’, the place where Brutus’s comrade Corineus hurled the giant Goemagot or Gogmagog to his death, and consider the giant fi gure ‘Gogmagog’ carved in the turf of Plymouth Hoe, the discovery of ‘giants’ bones’ in the seventeenth century, and the possible signifi cance of Salcombe’s red-stained rocks. THE TROJANS – AND OTHERS – IN DEVON Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was completed in about 1136, and quickly became, in medieval terms, a best-seller.
