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.

  • The Log of Lt Cdr E C Roden
    THE LOG OF LIEUTENANT COMMANDER E C RODEN RNR HMS Caronia 3 August 1914 - 15 May 1915 Edited by E J Scaplehorn Published by kind permission of Victoria and Fred Silvester © Liverpool Nautical Research Society 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Liverpool Nautical Research Society wishes to thank Victoria and Fred Silvester for allowing us to publish Lieutenant Commander Roden’s Log, and for their encouragement and support in enabling this important memoir of the Great War at sea to reach a wider audience. We are particularly indebted to Fred Silvester for producing the first typed transcript, which made subsequent editing far less difficult than it would otherwise have been. We would also like to thank the Liverpool RNR Officers’ Club (‘Sea Urchins’) and especially Lieutenant Commander John Glover RD RNR for highlighting the existence of the Log, and for help with editing. The biographical introduction below is largely derived from a ‘Sea Urchins’ publication commemorating their centenary. We are fortunate that the transcribed deck log of HMS Caronia is available online at http://www.naval-history.net/OWShips-WW1-08-HMS_Caronia.htm. This has been invaluable in setting Lieutenant Commander Roden’s private log within its historical context. The appearance of Lieutenant Commander Roden’s initials throughout the deck log confers an immediacy which enhances both documents. We acknowledge with gratitude the contribution of Naval-History.Net in developing this article. 1 EDITOR’S NOTE The original log, in the possession of Victoria Silvester, is handwritten in a foolscap-sized notebook with board covers. It was passed down to Victoria from her mother, Mary Lloyd-Davies, daughter of Lt Cdr Roden.

  • Missionary Journal of Thomas William Innes 1906-1907 Photographed, Transcribed and Edited by Julie Cannon Markham, a Granddaughter
    Preface Missionary Journal of Thomas William Innes 1906-1907 Photographed, transcribed and edited by Julie Cannon Markham, a granddaughter 1 Thomas William Innes was born in the small town of Paris, Idaho, on March 25th, 1883. In 1905 he received a call to serve in the British Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He left Paris on January 2nd, 1906 and would return March 28th, 1908. The journal he used to record his mission was likely given to him by his parents, Charles and Mary Ann Bird Innes. Charles Innes was a Utah pioneer, the son of British converts. Tom’s mother was a granddaughter of Benjamin Freeman and Meribah Bird, New York converts whose ancestors include numerous New England immigrants from England who came with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. Elder Innes learned he would serve in Ireland upon his arrival in Liverpool and added that location to the title page (above). He wrote with a flourish throughout the journal, writing daily entries for months. Weekly entries followed. In 1907 he was making monthly entries. By this time he was working in the mission office under the direction of President Joseph Smith Fife and it appears he became too busy to finish his diary. While Elder Innes’s penmanship was excellent, he was lax in punctuation and spelling. I have quietly mad small repairs in an attempt to make this as readable as possible. My comments in this work below appear in italics. 2 Chapter 1, January 1906 January 2nd. 1906. I left my home about 3 o’clock for Montpelier with my brother and some friends.

  • Lewis Mumford's Distanced View of American Design
    Putting down “Roots” en route: Lewis Mumford’s Distanced View of American Design William M Taylor University of Western Australia In Roots of Contemporary American Architecture (1952) Lewis Mumford conceived of a functional design aesthetic by imagining a uniquely American way of making things like colonial era farmhouses, sailing ships, clocks and axes. Mumford’s particular admiration for New England-built clipper ships calls to mind Le Corbusier’s absorption with the “rational assemblies” of transatlantic ocean liners, one of which, the RMS Aquitania, appeared on the cover of his book Vers une Architecture (1923). Both texts responded to a century of rapid technological change that introduced their authors to industrialised travel among other uniquely “modern” experiences. Both texts contributed variants on functionalist design theory to the architectural canon, the received internationalism of Le Corbusier’s text contrasting the explicit nationalism of Mumford’s. Le Corbusier let his preference for mass-produced automobiles, electric dynamos, and ocean liners speak for itself though he was inspired by his own voyaging on the liners. Mumford garnered support for his theory by co-opting two nineteenth century compatriots who also led peripatetic lives, the nineteenth century American art critics Horatio Greenough and James Jackson Jarves. This paper explores representations of a functional design style by Mumford, Greenough and Jarves by means of their idealisation of American sailing ships. It contextualises their thinking by reference to biographical circumstances and , edited by Victoria Jackson Jackson Victoria by , edited : Lewis Mumford’s Distanced Distanced : Lewis Mumford’s particularities of ocean-going travel in their respective lifetimes, specifically, their voyages abroad and periods spent abroad that background their writing.
