ABSTRACT Kimberly M. Smith. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ABSTRACT Kimberly M. Smith. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CASK MATERIAL FROM LATE SIXTEENTH THROUGH EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY SHIPWRECKS (Under the direction of Dr. Charles R. Ewen) Department of Anthropology, July 2009. This thesis examined cask material, including cask staves, heads, hoops, bungs and other components that casks consist of, recovered from 13 eighteenth century, three nineteenth century, one seventeenth, and two sixteenth century shipwrecks in an effort to discern a pattern in the types of cask material recovered within different types of vessels (e.g. pirate, merchant, and naval). Literature reviews were conducted and numerous archaeological, anthropological, and historical journals; namely, the International Journal for Nautical Archaeology, Historical Archaeology, The Australian Journal of Historical Archaeology were consulted. Published and unpublished theses and dissertations, proceedings from maritime and historical archaeological conferences for reports on shipwrecks containing cask material, and Parks Canada and National Park Service publications were also reviewed. Cask materials were studied and compared using bar graphs, histograms, and pie charts. Several potential patterns were identified, but none were definitive. This was not because they may not exist, but rather due to the inconsistent reporting methods creating a lack of available data to conduct comparative analysis. The inconsistent nature of the data obtained influenced the need to establish a standard reporting method. The final product of this research was the introduction of a standard reporting method and associated terminology and reporting forms. While the data set was too inconsistent to make conclusive statements, this type of comparative analysis should begin to establish a framework for the interpretation of cask materials from future excavations.

Please contact them directly if you wish to use their material. 1 Hello All It will not have escaped the notice of many of us that the month of July, 2009, with the deaths of three old gentlemen, saw human bonds being broken with the Great War. This is not a place for obituaries, collectively the UK’s national press has done that task more adequately (and internationally, I suspect likewise for New Zealand, the USA and the other protagonists of that War), but it is in a way sad that they have died. Harry Patch and Henry Allingham could recount events from the battles at Jutland and Passchendaele, and their recollections have, in recent years, served to educate youngsters about the horrors of war, and yet? With age, memory can play tricks, and the facts of the past can be modified to suit the beliefs of the present. For example, Harry Patch is noted as having become a pacifist, and to exemplify that, he stated that he had wounded, rather than killed, a German who was charging Harry’s machine gun crew with rifle and bayonet, by Harry firing his Colt revolver. I wonder? My personal experience in the latter years of my military career, having a Browning pistol as my issued weapon, was that the only way I could have accurately hit a barn door was by throwing the pistol at it! Given the mud and the filth, the clamour and the noise, the fear, a well aimed shot designed solely to ‘wing’ an enemy does seem remarkable.

  • Carlyle and the Tobacco Trade by Steve Kimbell
    Carlyle House December. 2008 D OCENT D ISPATCH Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority Carlyle and the Tobacco Trade by Steve Kimbell John Carlyle came to Alexandria from the northern England port town of Whitehaven to participate in the tobacco trade. There, in the late seventeenth century, Whitehaven merchant Richard Kelsick initiated the port’s tobacco trade with a series of successful trading voyages . By the time John Carlyle arrived in Virginia the merchants of Whitehaven had grown their trade in tobacco from 1,639,193 pounds in 1712 to 4,419,218 pounds by 1740. The tobacco plantation culture in Virginia arose after 1612 when John Rolfe of the Virginia Company, showed that tobacco would grow well in Virginia and could be sold at a profit in England. Cartouche of Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson's By the end of the first quarter of the 17th Century tobacco A Map of the most Inhabited parts of Virginia, London, 1768 came to dominate the economy of England’s Chesapeake Bay colonies, Colonial Virginia and Maryland. Tobacco was so profitable that small bundles of leaves constituted planter was then issued on official tobacco note stating a medium of exchange. Clergymen, lawyers, physicians, the weight and value of the tobacco he had stored in the anyone with even a small plot of land became a small- King’s warehouse. Tobacco notes could be sold on the scale planter. At Jamestown they actually planted tobacco spot to an exporter who would assume the risk of in the streets. transporting the tobacco to England or the planter could retain ownership and ship his tobacco at his own risk Soon vast swathes of land in the Tidewater regions of and expense in hopes of getting a higher price from Maryland and Virginia were cleared and planted in tobacco buyers on the London docks.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1
    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

  • HMAS Sirius Datasheet
    SHIP DATASHEET NAVY Serving Australia with Pride HMAS Sirius The Royal Australian Navy's afloat support capability is provided by the underway replenishment ships HMAS Sirius and HMAS Success (II). The Afloat Support Force provides operational support for the rest of the fleet by providing fuel, stores and ammunition, thus significantly extending the RAN's operational reach and endurance at sea. It can also provide limited support to deployed Army and Air Force units. HMAS Sirius was built as a double-hulled commercial product Commanding Commander Melanie Verho Officer tanker, MV Delos and purchased by the Commonwealth Government on 3 June 2004. Named Sirius, the ship underwent modification for underway Type Support Ship replenishment. In addition, a flight deck was fitted for helicopter operations.
