  • My First Ship
    My First Ship Another 'first tripper' account, or perhaps a 'first shipper' one, this time from Richard Olden and yet again with Clan Line. His ship was very similar to the CLAN ALPINE, which ended up in a paddy field near Chittagong during a cyclone. (Captain Les Morris's brother John was third engineer on her at the time and his account was published here in issues 27 & 28.) My cadetship was spent mainly in the SS “CLAN ANGUS” (ex “EMPIRE PRINCE”), a 1942 utility-built 7,030 GRT general cargo vessel. She had a triple-expansion steam engine, coal-fired boilers, and a speed of 11 knots. Her officers were British, consisting of the Master, three Deck Officers, five Engineer Officers, Radio Officer, Chief Steward, Carpenter and two Deck Cadets. And like all Clan Line ships, she had a Lascar crew. I had had pre-sea training at “Pangbourne”, and after a successful interview at Clan Line’s head office in London, I joined the “CLAN ANGUS” in Govan Dry Dock, Glasgow in October 1946. As I boarded her, a new Clan Line funnel was being fitted, and gun mountings and other war fittings were being removed. Unbeknown to me then, I would be in her for four voyages - nearly two and a half years - including a voyage of twelve months. Also, I would be sailing with the same Master, Chief Officer, Chief and Second Engineers, Radio Officer and Carpenter. The Second and Third Deck Of- ficers would also be the same for nearly two years. I had been kitted out by my parents, who paid my travel expenses to Glasgow, where my career began.

  • Union-Castle Line - 40Th
    Union-Castle Line - 40th. Anniversary of the last Mailship! In 1856, South Africa comprised four self-governing areas – Cape Colony and Natal were British and The Orange Free State and The Transvaal Republic were administered by the Boers. At that time all overseas mail delivery contracts were awarded by the Admiralty and, in 1857, they offered the Cape Mail Contract to THE UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY and their auxiliary schooner Dane inaugurated the service when she departed Southampton on September 15th. 1857. In 1876 the contract was reviewed and the Admiralty split the new contract between two companies – The UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY from Southampton and THE CASTLE MAIL PACKET COMPANY from London, with ships of each company sailing on alternate weeks – and a passage time of 26 days. This contract lasted for some 25 unhappy years with intense (and dangerous) competition exerting strong commercial pressure on the Masters of the vessels. The contract was again reviewed in 1900 and after some sensible discussion the two companies agreed a merger and – on March 8th. 1900 THE UNION-CASTLE MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY was registered to undertake the new South African Mail Contract with the ships based in SOUTHAMPTON. In 1955 a new Mail Contract was signed (effective from January 1st. 1957) but, at that time THE UNION-CASTLE LINE and THE CLAN LINE were discussing a possible merger and, with effect from 31st. January 1956 these two great companies merged to form THE BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH SHIPPING COMPANY. By 1975 five large cargo-carrying passenger vessels and two passenger-carrying cargo vessels were operating the joint service between the UK and South Africa.

  • The Legal Aspects of Seaworthiness: Current Law and Development
    The Legal Aspects of Seaworthiness: Current Law and Development Ahmad Hussam Kassem Submitted to the University of Wales in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Law Swansea University Year: 2006 The Legal Aspects of Seaworthiness Summary Current Law and Development Summary The thesis aims to analyse the current legal approach to the carrier’s obligation of seaworthiness under Carriage of Goods by Sea due to the impact of such an obligation on the stability of the shipping industry and its effect on reducing marine casualties. In addition, recent developments in the industry have had an affect on the carrier’s obligation. Therefore, it seems necessary to deal with the carrier’s obligation of seaworthiness under the current law and in the light of recent development. In order to achieve the aim of this study, a library-based research project will be conducted and most of the courts’ decisions, recent or old, will be considered in order to find out how they have dealt with this issue in the past and whether their attitude has changed to reflect the development in the shipping industry. The opinions and thoughts of scholars on this matter will also be examined in order to ascertain their opinion on the law and its development. The final chapter of this thesis will deal with the conclusions arrived at by this study. These can be summarised by the following: - The carrier’s obligation to make the vessel seaworthy should be extended to cover the whole voyage instead of just limiting it to the beginning of the voyage.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.

Donahue Mare Imperium: The Evolution of Freedom of the Seas Discourse in U.S. Foreign Policy - An Addendum to Critical Security Studies Literature Connor P. Donahue (ABSTRACT) This dissertation conducts a genealogy of freedom of the seas discourse in United States foreign policy in order to problematize the contemporary representation lying at the heart of American political-military strategy in the Western Pacific. This project aims to accomplish two goals. First, this project aims to show that freedom of the seas is not an enduring historical principle consistently championed by the United States, as is often claimed in contemporary governmental publications. Rather, it shows that the current understanding is a recent phenomenon that emerged after the Second World War. By highlighting the contingency of the contemporary understanding of freedom of the seas, this work seeks to show that such discourse is not a necessary foundation on which to place American political-military strategy. The second objective of this genealogical analysis is to show that the contemporary freedom of the seas discourse in U.S.
