This 'white elephant' broke only one record in her career: during the whole of her existence she remained by far the largest ship in the world. The Great Eastern was broken up on the beach at New Ferry, Birkenhead, between 1889 and 1891. OBITUARY PHILIP JOHN HOLT TEBA Y 1928-2002 In May I 996, I, as a rather apprehensive, newly-elected incumbent, had just accepted the Chairmanship of the Liverpool Nautical Research Society (L.N.R.S.), a singular honour. My first question, containing only a mild trace of panic, was: ''What do I do now?" The response came promptly from John Tebay, the well-respected Hon. Secretary of our Society: "Thank the members for their confidence. and promise to serve the Society to the best ofyour ability. " I gathered my scattered wits and did just that - with, I hope, conviction. Thereafter I never looked back, for John was always on hand to offer guidance and advice whenever doubts or problems arose. For that was the essence of John's philosophy: Pilot and guide to shipmasters vt the Mersey; friend and guide to all with whom he came in contact in other walks of .....-fe . Born in Wallasey in 1928, John Tebay completed his formal education at 'allasey Grammar School in 1944. It had always been his desire "to go down to the :><!a in ships", and not even the tragic loss of his Pilot father in the wreck of No.l Pilot Boat Charles Livingston on Ainsdale Beach in November 1939 could deflect him from his purpose. So John joined the Liverpool Pilot Service, obtaining his sea-going experience with Alfred Holt. His professional career embraced many facets. First licensed in 1952, he became a First Class Pilot in 1956. Shortly aftenvards his expertise was sought by Esso Tankers Ltd., and he became their choice Pilot, bringing deep-laden supertankers up the Mersey to berth at the Tranmere Jetties. Another prestigious appointment was as Pilot to the Royal Yacht Britannia when Her Majesty the Queen visited Liverpool in the 1980s. John's talents, however, were not confined to navigation and ship-handling, impressive though they were. A skilful administrator and negotiator, he was, for many years, Chairman of the Liverpool Pilots' Association and their representative on the Pilotage Committee. From 1974, he was Chairman of the National Pilots' Technical Sub-Committee, and was appointed United Kingdom representative on the Department of Trade's delegation to the European Maritime Pilots' Association, which visited all major European ports over a period of twelve years. For his work in this field John was awarded the E.M.P.A. Gold Medal. John applied to join the L.N.R.S. soon after his retirement in 1988. He was at once made welcome, for his reputation had forestalled his application! It so happened that the post of Secretary became vacant a year or so later and John was invited to fill the void. To the members he was the obvious choice; to John, the new boy, it was a I complete surprise, but he accepted nonetheless, and proceeded to perform his duties with diligence and distinction. One of his earliest self-imposed tasks was to create a detailed list off all Liverpool Pilots since the mid-18th Century to 1991- a sort of Pilots' 'Who's Who'. The list comprises over I ,500 names and was compiled from records held by the Pilotage Authority and the Merseyside Maritime Museum. It took several years in the making and is now a standard work of reference, a fitting memorial to John and his long-standing devotion to his colleagues. John wrote many well-researched articles for various specialised publications, including our own Bulletin, and the papers he read occasionally at our monthly meetings were always eagerly anticipated and well attended. It was no coincidence that the Society's membership doubled during his tenure. Word of the affliction which struck John down came as a shock to everybody, and our hearts went out to June, his wife, and to his children. News of his death a week or two later on 24th April 2002 simply added to our grief and to our growing sense of bewilderment. Certainly, John, and his rare brand of amiable affability, will be missed, and we shall all lament his passing. But life must continue, and (in the words of Alfred, Lord Tennyson) .... "....... the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But 0 for the touch ofa vanish 'd hand, And the sound ofa voice that is still. " But to those whose privilege it was to know and work with John, and whose delight it is to recall his memory, the pleasure and sheer satisfaction inspired by that privilege far exceeds the pain of his passing. John has gone, but his work lives on. G.C.. Mav, 2002. HOUND OF THE SEA bv John Tebav John Tebay regularly contributed to 'The Bulletin'. In this article, wrillen in 1998, he recalls his experiences as Pilot ofthe Boeing Jetfoil Cu na Mara, the Mersey's first fast craft, introduced on the Liverpool to Dublin route in I 980. 1 On 13 h February 1980 a Boeing Jetfoil, to be named Cii na Mara (Hound of the Sea), arrived in Gladstone Dock on the deck of the Antonia Johnson. Built in 2 Seattle, and intended for the B. & I. Line, she was to carry 250 passengers on a 3'1. hour passage between Liverpool and Dublin at approximately 45 knots. Foreknowledge of the B. & I.'s plans had resulted by November 1979 in meetings between representatives of the Port and Pilotage Authorities and senior B. & I. staff, when safety and practical operational aspects were discussed. Prior to the Cu na Mara coming into service, there were to be at least six weeks of working-up trials and crew training. Initially, an American bridge team of captain and engineer would instruct a small number of selected B. & I. masters and mates until they were officially qualified to operate the craft. Amongst the Port of Liverpool's requirements would be the employment of a Liverpool Pilot when navigating the River and Mersey channels. The pilots to be used would have to be current members of the Pilotage and Examination Committees and would report back on any potential problems whilst in the pilotage area. B. & I. also suggested that, before the jetfoil arrived, a small team should travel to Brighton to have a look at a similar craft then running a service to Dieppe. This team consisted of Captain G. Barry (B. & I. Line Commodore), Captain J. Devaney (Superintendent, Dublin), Captain A. Jones (8. & 1., Liverpool), and Pilots Tebay and Webber. Arriving at the Brighton Marina, I think it is fair to say tha~ considering the craft was intended to carry 250 passengers across the Irish Sea, she looked a mite small- actually 99 feet long with the foils up, and 30 feet beam - and she was moving gently in the sheltered waters. Whilst manoeuvring when sailing or berthing, the jetfoil did so in displacement mode (i.e. floating on the hull), and with a vectored jet aft and a small bow thrust forward she could turn in her own length. Displacement speed was about I 0 knots. In this trim, and once out into a slight swell, she tended to roll uncomfortably, probably due to her flattish hull and light draft. However as she swiftly accelerated past 30 knots with the foils down, she rose up and became pleasantly steady, the twin 4,500 hp gas turbines drawing in water at the leading edge of the engine pod and ejecting it with great force through the rear jets. Despite the speed of 43 knots, and with her hull clear of the water, she did not appear to make a broad or high wash, and from a passenger seat on the upper of two decks il was like being in a low flying aircraft as we skimmed the waves. This sensation was encouraged by the seating layout being similar to a wide-bodied jet, plus the use of aviation terminology such as 'take-off' or 'landing'.

    1 RAILS BY THE SEA 2 RAILS BY THE SEA In what ways was the development of the seaside miniature railway influenced by the seaside spectacle and individual endeavour from 1900 until the present day? Dr. Marcus George Rooks, BDS (U. Wales). Primary FDSRCS(Eng) MA By Research and Independent Study. University of York Department of History September 2012 3 Abstract Little academic research has been undertaken concerning Seaside Miniature Railways as they fall outside more traditional subjects such as standard gauge and narrow gauge railway history and development. This dissertation is the first academic study on the subject and draws together aspects of miniature railways, fairground and leisure culture. It examines their history from their inception within the newly developing fairground culture of the United States towards the end of the 19th. century and their subsequent establishment and development within the UK. The development of the seaside and fairground spectacular were the catalysts for the establishment of the SMR in the UK. Their development was largely due to two individuals, W. Bassett-Lowke and Henry Greenly who realized their potential and the need to ally them with a suitable site such as the seaside resort. Without their input there is no doubt that SMRs would not have developed as they did. When they withdrew from the culture subsequent development was firmly in the hands of a number of individual entrepreneurs. Although embedded in the fairground culture they were not totally reliant on it which allowed them to flourish within the seaside resort even though the traditional fairground was in decline.

    Pier Pressure: Best Practice in the Rehabilitation of British Seaside Piers

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Bournemouth University Research Online Pier pressure: Best practice in the rehabilitation of British seaside piers A. Chapman Bournemouth University, Bournemouth, UK ABSTRACT: Victorian seaside piers are icons of British national identity and a fundamental component of seaside resorts. Nevertheless, these important markers of British heritage are under threat: in the early 20th century nearly 100 piers graced the UK coastline, but almost half have now gone. Piers face an uncertain future: 20% of piers are currently deemed ‘at risk’. Seaside piers are vital to coastal communities in terms of resort identity, heritage, employment, community pride, and tourism. Research into the sustainability of these iconic structures is a matter of urgency. This paper examines best practice in pier regeneration projects that are successful and self-sustaining. The paper draws on four case studies of British seaside piers that have recently undergone, or are currently being, regenerated: Weston Super-Mare Grand pier; Hastings pier; Southport pier; and Penarth pier. This study identifies critical success factors in pier regeneration and examines the socio-economic sustainability of seaside piers. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on British seaside piers. Seaside pleasure piers are an uniquely British phenomena, being developed from the early 19th century onwards as landing jetties for the holidaymakers arriving at the resorts via paddle steamers. As seaside resorts developed, so too did their piers, transforming by the late 19th century into places for middle-class tourists to promenade, and by the 20th century as hubs of popular entertainment: the pleasure pier.
  • Role-Based Bridge Organisation

    Role-Based Bridge Organisation

    New Organisation for Safe and Effective Operation of Cruise Ships Captain Hans Hederstrom, FNI John N Ritchie Introduction Traditionally ship’s bridges have been characterised by strong hierarchical organisations. The Captain’s arrival on the bridge would almost always mean their taking over the conning of the ship. That would also mean that all important decisions on heading and speed were based upon a plan which was only inside the Captain’s head. This environment turned the other Bridge Officers into passive bystanders and a team effort into a solo operation. We have also recently experienced a number of high profile accidents where the problems inherent in this type of environment have been highlighted. In the early 1990’s the industry saw the introduction of Bridge Resource Management (BRM) as a solution to stop accidents caused by single point failures, but this has not been the case. The BRM courses focused a lot of attention on developing assertiveness, encouraging Officers to speak up when a senior Officer deviated from the plan. It is easy to discuss about assertiveness in a classroom, and train in a simulator environment, but very hard to implement in real life - unless the Captain is proactively implementing a working environment where speaking up is not only accepted but encouraged. Even with a culture of challenge well established in an operational environment, there is another problem: if a junior Officer does not know what the operational limits of a route plan or berthing plan are, it’s difficult to challenge its execution. The trigger for a challenge should be based upon a perception that the person with the Conn has deviated either from the plan, or from the agreed limits of that plan.

Furthermore, there is a disturbed work-family balance. Working hours of pilots are highly variable and not bound by regulations due to irregularities of vessel traffic.

This has been a fantastic month for AIMPA. We were at the peak of Publicity which is actually not our aim. Our new inaugural issue came out well and was appreciated all over in the shipping fraternity in India as well as abroad. People called in, appreciated the move, hoped that it would sustain and suggested topics for future editions. Gives a full feeling of satisfaction on seeing peoples' expectations from this journal. People in Ministry called to congratulate, and Someone said proudly 'this is the first journal in Indian Shipping'. Very flattering remarks for the editorial team, we were overwhelmed. AIMPA loves to be noticed by people in shipping. Who is a maritime pilot? Normally one would say he is a mariner having local knowledge and is expert in maneuvering the ships and of course is licensed to do so by a recognised authority. This might be a typical definition of a maritime pilot one may find in a textbook, but in my opinion there is something more to it.
