If a ship is featured as the subject of an article but its name is not in the title, the name is listed separately as a cross-reference to the title of the article. The title of an article on the cover of some early issues may vary from the actual heading of the article itself - the actual article heading is used in this index. The Society’s Publications: ‘Original’ refers to one of the first fifteen papers presented to the Society. They are to be found as a single bound volume. Copies of papers No. 6 - 15 inclusive are also available as a bound volume entitled ‘LNRS Papers: 1942 - 1944’ ‘The Bulletin’ is the current regular quarterly publication of the Society ‘N.N.Q.’ (Notes, News and Queries) was the predecessor of ‘The Bulletin’ ‘Transactions’ was published in various editions up to 1971 (along with ‘N.N.Q.’ from 1951) The Society’s Special Edition Publications are: • ‘Transactions’ in a bound volume containing fourteen papers covering the years 1955 - 1961 was issued in April 1963 to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Society’s founding • ‘A Merseyside Maritime History, 1938 - 1988’ (Jubilee Edition) • ‘A Second Merseyside Maritime History’ ( Summer 1991) • ‘60 Years of The Liverpool Nautical Research Society, 1938 -1998’ (Jubilee Edition) • ‘Merseyside Maritime Research’ (70th Anniversary Edition) • Special 75th Anniversary Edition • 80th Anniversary Commemoration: 1938-2018 (in four quarterly parts: March-December, 2018 The ‘Original’ papers, the ‘Transactions’, and the ‘Special Edition’ publications of the Society will contain the fullest details of their subject articles, as will feature articles published in ‘The Bulletin’. Papers and talks presented at the Society’s meetings are reported in ‘The Bulletin’ (and were so in ‘N.N.Q’.), but the amount of detail recorded of them will be found to vary. This Index is not claimed to be exhaustive and many other small items of interest, too numerous to list, will be found in both ‘N.N.Q.’, ‘The Bulletin’, and special edition issues. Apologies are offered for any omissions, or errors contained herein. Liverpool Nautical Research Society The first five papers presented to the Society were read between May 1938 and February 1939.

  • 4 R.A.N. SHIPS OVERSEAS to JUNE 194 0 URING the First Ten Months Of
    CHAPTER 4 R.A.N. SHIPS OVERSEAS TO JUNE 194 0 URING the first ten months of the war, those Australian ships not D retained on the home station were employed in Imperial dispositions in widely separated areas . The first six months found Perth in Central American waters, mainly engaged in the dual task of protecting trade — especially the important tanker traffic in the Caribbean—and preventin g the escape of German merchant ships sheltering in neutral ports of th e islands and the Isthmus . Last of the three expansion-program cruiser s acquired from Britain, she had commissioned at Portsmouth on the 29th June 1939 as H .M.A. Ship under "Fighting Freddie " Farncomb, a studious , coolly-efficient officer whose nickname, bestowed during the war, reflected the confidence and esteem of the lower deck . Perth sailed from Portsmouth on the 26th July for Australia via th e Panama Canal, and reached New York, where she represented Australi a at the World Fair, on the 4th August. On the 21st of the month, after twelve days of American hospitality, she arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, an d was to have sailed for Panama on the 23rd, but in the early morning o f that date Farncomb received a signal sent to the Admiralty by the Com- mander-in-Chief, America and West Indies—Vice-Admiral Meyrick' — asking that Perth might remain on the station . Farncomb thereupon can- celled his sailing arrangements, thus anticipating an Admiralty signa l received later in the day directing him to "return Kingston and awai t further orders " .

  • 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.

  • Jolie Brise a Teignmouth Story
    THE JOLIE BRISE A TEIGNMOUTH STORY By Clare McComb J12433_JolieBrise_Story_DL_V10.indd 1 15/10/2015 09:22 Putting this little book together has been a pleasure because of the exciting way in which the project has unfolded and the warmth and generosity of those, in Teignmouth and beyond, who have helped to make it happen. My thanks go, first, to J D Wetherspoon for its policy of researching local history and, in particular, to Tim Martin for his sponsorship. I am indebted to Lin Watson and the Teign Heritage Museum team for their wonderful, comprehensive advice and technical assistance, as well as to Viv Wilson MBE for allowing me to use her splendidly researched material. My gratitude also goes to Sidney Briggs’ relations who could not have done more to help, searching their attics and storage boxes to reveal documents and artefacts which had been unknown beforehand outside of the family circle. Toby Marris, skipper of Jolie Brise, and Sue Stone, from Dauntsey’s School, have (as always) been constantly generous with their time, support and permission to use their beautiful images of the boat. I am grateful to Jacques Taglang, Dauntsey’s School and Rick Tomlinson, Syd Hook’s daughters Jill and Sandra, the Mystic Seaport Museum USA (Rosenfeld Collection) and the Warneford, Martin and Morgan Giles families for allowing use of their photographs in the book. My thanks go, lastly, to Jolie Brise herself. Since her launch in 1913, she has always been thought of as special and is now one of the great iconic classic boats. Her exploits helped to jump-start the sport of British Ocean Racing, and her achievement in winning the Fastnet Race three times has not yet been equalled.

  • A Short History of Oxton 1800-1900 by Ray Johnson A
    A SHORT HISTORY OF OXTON 1800-1900 BY RAY JOHNSON A Short Diversion The modern town of Birkenhead stands upon what was once the wooded headland jutting out into the River Mersey. The name Birkenhead is probably descriptive of the ancient place in that it is most likely meaning is the "headland of birch trees". Great areas of the Wirral were once heavily forested and almost its entire Mersey shoreline must then have looked something like the scene we can still see today in the area of Eastham Ferry. Here great trees sweep down to the River Mersey and balance themselves at the very edge of rocky banks. The wooded headland that is now Birkenhead would once have been just like that. The headland must have seemed like a finger of land pointing out into the River Mersey towards the Liverpool bank, for there was, on the other side of it, a large natural pool. On the south side, the Tranmere Pool ran inland for almost a mile and it is believed that this place was the Somreford (ie Some Ford) referred to in the Domesday Book, since it is known that it was possible to cross the Pool at time of lower summer tides, by stepping on stepping stones. It is also known that the stepping stones were still in use in 1790 when an embankment was built to replace them and to carry the new Chester Road across the pool. To the north of the headland lay the Wallasey Pool - 1 mile wide at its mouth and stretching so far inland that it almost cut across the Wirral completely.

  • 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.
