Great Lakes Maritime Institute NOVEMBER • DECEMBER , 1977 Volume XXVI; Number 6 and Index GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 NOV/DEC, 1977 Page 146 MEMBERSHIP NOTES A few issues back we were lamenting the fact that publicity was lacking and that the museum suffered a "closed" image. Apparently the complaint got to the right places, because this has changed drastically. We have been the beneficiary of TV and newspaper coverage, not to mention radio spot an­ nouncements during the past month. Probably the most valuable bit of free advertising we received was on September 9, when the visiting governors of 45 states, in Detroit for the Annual Governors’ Conference, were at the museum for a luncheon. In all, nearly 400 persons participated in the af­ fair. As a result of all this, our attendance has taken a quantum leap and has come back to where it was before we closed. The Institute has come in for a share of the success, too. In early Sep­ tember we signed up our 1,400th member for 1977, and that’s more than a hundred higher than last year’s peak! Your editor is completing a special supplement on the Fitzgerald, to be out, hopefully, this year, but certainly early next year. This will be sent free to all Sustaining members for 1977, and will be sold to all others at a price as yet undetermined. Now, do your part to help us maintain the record. Use the form provided and renew your membership now. We wouldn’t want this to be your last issue! MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings of the Institute will be held on November 18, (early to avoid Thanksgiving) and January 27, 1978. Both are at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM. Business meetings of the Board of Directors (and all members are urged to attend these meetings) are to be held on January 6, 1978 (late to avoid the Christmas/New Year holidays), and February 24, 1978, at 8:00 PM, at Dossin Museum.

A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

    PORT ARTHUR SHIPBUILDING FONDS RECORDS GROUP 5 Please Read these two paragraphs first. This text file was originally produced as a hard copy finding aid produced some years ago for the museum staff and those making use of the Audrey Rushbrook Memorial Library and Archives. It is a long text file and was intended for on-site researchers. Many browsers have a 'find in page' feature in their browser that will permit you to search for words and phrases. Staff and others who are very familiar with this collection find the text file useful. You are of course welcome to use this text file but there is a more efficient way to search for information about specific items in the collection by using the Search the Collection tab. Specific items in the collections are given an inventory control number called an Accession Number usually in three parts, for example - 1993.0011.0001. (meaning the first item in the eleventh collections to be accessioned in 1993). Retain these numbers should you intend to visit the archives and use the material. Additional material has been added to the collection since this finding aid was produced. The most up to date information can be found online at our search engine link - archives and pictorial. Always schedule an appointment in advance should you intend to use the library/archive resources. This fonds consists of the corporate records and engineering drawings of the Port Arthur Shipbuilding Company [PASCOL], a division of Canadian Shipbuilding and Engineering. The material ranges in date from the establishment of the shipyard in 1910 to 1986 inclusive, with the bulk of the documents belonging to the early years with a gap to more modern records of the 1980's.

(The 106 Group) conducted a Phase II architectural history investigation for the Central Transit Corridor (Central Corridor) project in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, and St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. The proposed project is a multi-agency undertaking being led by the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority (RCRRA). The Phase II investigation was conducted under contract with the RCRRA. The proposed action is a Light Rail Transit (LRT) or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility for the Central Corridor, a transportation corridor that extends approximately 11 miles between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. The project will be receiving federal permitting and funding, along with state funding, and, therefore, must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and with applicable state laws.

  • Shipbuilding in Canada and the Development of an Industrial Base in the Early 20Th Century
    Shipbuilding in Canada and the Development of an Industrial Base in the early 20th Century Michael Young Introduction An essential element of any navy is the supporting engineering infrastructure necessary to keep the fleet maintained and repaired when needed. When it was first established in 1910, the branch of engineering directly applicable to the Naval Service of Canada (which became the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in 1911) was marine engineering. In its broadest sense, marine engineering deals with the design, construction, maintenance, support and technical operation of ships and their internal systems. It also embraces the parallel discipline of naval architecture. Naval engineering is a more specialised branch that deals solely with warships. Naval engineering is not confined to the Navy or to government agencies. Its practitioners include the industrial base of the infrastructure of shipyards, engine builders, mechanical and electrical engineering companies, and the myriad of companies, large and small, that supply components, parts and materiel. In 1910 there was a limited capability in naval engineering represented by the naval Dockyards in Halifax and Esquimalt. These yards performed running repairs and routine maintenance, including dry docking, on ships of the Royal Navy (RN). Both yards had been transferred from the British Admiralty to the Canadian Government in 1907 to provide support and running repair services for the ships of the Department of Fisheries and Marine, the precursor of the Naval Service, as well as to visiting ships of the Royal Navy. In addition, there was considerable engineering expertise in Canada related to steam propulsion technology. For example, the first practical compound marine steam engine was invented by the brilliant mechanical engineer Benjamin Franklin Tibbets from New Brunswick, and installed in the Saint John River steamer Reindeer in 1845.
