    SELF-GUIDED TOUR 2 BUILDING THE LIGHT This self-guided tour focuses on the construction of the Lighthouse on Montague Island - in particular the work of the stonemasons. PERHAPS BEGIN THIS TOUR SITTING ON THE STEPS LEADING UP TO THE TOWER... LOOK... at the tower: • Observe how it “grows” from the rock... • Appreciate its proportions suggesting strength, durability and watchfulness. • Notice the courses of blocks, the windows, the overhangs, the balcony and the lantern room at the top. CONSIDER... This Lighthouse has been operating continuously since 1881 - staffed until September 1986, and then automatically since 1986. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) now maintains the tower and light, totally funded by the shipping and insurance industries.

  • Queens Quay Street Names
    QUEENS QUAY DESIGN CODES ANNEX 2: STREET NAMING 07 September 2020 anderson bell + christie Queens Quay: Design Codes 69 Queens Quay Design Codes – Annexe 2: Street Naming Strategy and Proposed Street Names This consultation document includes the Street Naming Strategy for Queens Quay and the suggested list of street names that have emerged from the Strategy, based on the heritage and stories of the site and local area. These were approved for consultation by the Planning Committee on 19th August 2020. Street Naming Strategy 1. Purpose This annexe seeks to set out the principles to be adopted by West Dunbartonshire Council in applying a clear, contextualised and scalable street naming strategy to the Queens Quay site in Clydebank. In line with established good practice, all street names will seek to reference the heritage of the site and surrounding area, layering narratives that will enable the new residents and its visitors to build an engaged and evolving relationship with the town and locality. The street naming approach actively seeks to contribute positively to an overarching sense of place and identity within Clydebank and West Dunbartonshire. 2. Heritage context Although the immediate heritage context for the Queens Quay site is the redevelopment of John Brown’s shipyard, it is notable that the very existence of the shipyard relied on the pre-existing contours of an enduring landscape. While the confluence of the Rivers Clyde and Cart made it possible to launch ships that travelled around the globe, to the north of the town the Kilpatrick Hills are a reminder in their archaeology that this land was settled for reasons of travel and trade long before the arrival of the shipyard.

  • RMS Queen Mary Preservation Plan
    I. Purpose The purpose of this Preservation Plan is establishment of a professional approach to archival and preservation activities on the RMS Queen Mary. This is intended to be a document containing policy direction and detailed recommendations regarding specific archival and preservation activities. The Preservation Plan benefits RMS Foundation, Inc., and the City of Long Beach by balancing the ship’s historic significance with economic realities. As the RMS Queen Mary enters the 21st Century, the need to protect the ship’s historic character within the context of active modem use will be an ongoing challenge. This Preservation Plan recognizes economic priorities while permitting the RMS Queen Mary to be an educational tool, community resource, living part of Long Beach and a great place to visit and have fun. II. Mission Statement The RMS Queen Mary was commissioned on May 27, 1936, as she departed Southampton, England, on her maiden voyage, and has been moored since December 1967 in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California, USA. The ship is owned by the City of Long Beach, and its preservation and restoration is managed and cared for by RMS Foundation, Inc., under a separate agreement with Queen’s Seaport Development, Inc., that holds a 66-year master lease from the City. The Queen Mary was listed in 1993 in the National Register of Historic Places, and officially designated an historic resource under Federal and state law. Though she stopped crossing the Atlantic in 1967, RMS Foundation believes that she continues to transport today’s “passenger,” through history, romance and discovery, to experience first-class service in a contemporary first-class environment.
