Paperback. Condizione: New. To offer security in the maritime domain, governments around the world need the capabilities to directly confront common threats like piracy, drug-trafficking, and illegal immigration. No single navy or nation can do this alone. Recognizing this new international security landscape, the former Chief o…f Naval Operations called for a collaborative international approach to maritime security, initially branded the "1,000-ship Navy." This concept envisions U.S. naval forces partnering with multinational, federal, state, local and private sector entities to ensure freedom of navigation, the flow of commerce, and the protection of ocean resources. This new book from the National Research Council examines the technical and operational implications of the "1,000-ship Navy," as they apply to four levels of cooperative efforts: * U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and merchant shipping only; * U.S. naval and maritime assets with others in treaty alliances or analogous arrangements; * U.S. naval and maritime assets with ad hoc coalitions; and * U.S. naval and maritime assets with others than above who may now be friendly but could potentially be hostile, for special purposes such as deterrence of piracy or other criminal activity.

Aggiungi al carrelloAn interesting and well-written poem, unpublished, casting light on the life of a midshipman in the Royal Navy in the year after Trafalgar. The author of this poem is frustratingly elusive (he was perhaps a member of the family of the antiquary Francis Grose, 1731-1791), but the 1787 Captain was a 74-gun third rater of some reno…wn, having been captained by Nelson at the 1797 Battle of St Vincent. In the year following this poem she would act as one of the escorts for the expedition that left Falmouth and eventually attacked Buenos Aires. She was broken up in 1813, after being wrecked off Plymouth. The present item is a holograph of an eighty-six-line poem in heroic couplets. Headed 'The Cockpit' and signed and dated at the end 'J H Grose Assistant Surgeon of his Majesty's Ship Captain - / Feby. 3rd. 1806/.' 4pp, 4to. On bifolium. In good condition, on lightly creased and worn unwatermarked gilt-edged wove paper, with several crease from folding. Tiny closed tear at leading edge of the first leaf. The poem begins: 'Within those sacred Bulwarks of the deep, / Where gallant sailors constant vigils keep, / Lies an abode obscur'd from chearful day, / Where all their sunshine is a taper's ray. Yet here Britannia boasts a youthful band / Who for the welfare of thine native land / Leaves all the blandishments of youthful ease / And quit the welcome home for boisterous seas. / Furnish'd with Fenning, Bonnycastle, Moore, [mathematical text books used in a midshipman's education] / And other books of celebrated lore, / A quadrant, pocket case of instruments complete, / A Leather Hat & uniform thats neat.' A little later there is more detail of maritime life: 'Arrived on board, his future messmates join / And ask him in the starboard birth to dine.' Naval fare is satirized: 'Oh hard salt junk - bad biscuit & thick wine.' The new midshipman's duties are described: 'When night comes on & round the Cockpit goes / The careful master, who the lights must close, / His hammock slung above the cable tier[,] / He well may ask - "can mortals sure lie here?" He has a fitful sleep, 'Till Hammocks up proclaim his time to rise / And hot Burgon his breakfast now supplies.' The sailor has 'grieved when quarter Masters yells / Assail'd the Reefer's ears, with "past eight" bells'. There follows a criticism of complaining 'Landsmen', after which comes the couplet 'But thou O Reynolds, one exception claim / From those who bear of tyranny the names / And grateful here, the Poet repays / A faint, but faithful tribute to thy praise.' It is accompanied by the following note in the margin, at top right of p.3: 'Capt. Robt Carthew Reynolds of H. M. S. Princess Royal, a Gentleman not more distinguished for his Valour than his Urbanity'. (Reynolds (1745-1811) captained the Princess Royal from to 1807, was promoted to Rear-Admiral the following year, and died on his flagship the St George in a great storm that killed two thousand sailors off Jutland in December 1811.) A little less than half the poem remains, and it continues in much the same tone, with reference to the popular maritime poet Thomas John Dibdin (1771-1841): 'Dibdin! thy Muse will cheer the Sailor's heart / Thy loyal songs their energy impart.' The poem concludes: 'And thus successive years renew their reign / Till six long twelvemonths ease the Reefer's pain. / When having pass'd the due examination / A wardroom then becomes his future station. / In such abodes immortal Nelson dwell'd / Whose matchless deeds all heroes have excell'd. / And here, exulting, may Britannia trace / The infant heroes of a future race; / By none in virtue or in arms suppass'd, / And save My Country, Heaven! shall be their last!'.

Aggiungi al carrelloSheets. Condizione: Very Good. A stunning collection of 134 black and white photographs about the Liberation of Hong Kong and of Canadian Prisoners of War (POWs), the surrender and disarmament of the Japanese Soldiers in that then British Colony by the Navy Crew of the H.M.C.S. Prince Robert (armed merchant cruiser). May to Sept…ember 1945 during WWII. Royal Canadian Navy, 1945. Sheets. Photography. Very Good. Real photographs, almost all 4" x 5", most of them in very good condition, a few with waterstains, browning and/or creasing at the corners. They have never been glued or scotched. These official Royal Canadian Navy photographs were offered to the Crew of the Prince Robert and picture orders were taken on board during the journey back from Hong Kong. In our collection, approximately 64 photos were taken directly in Hong Kong or near its shores, 21 are about the Ship and her Crew, and 49 were taken during the journey at sea. Showing the disarmanent of the Japanese army, the liberation of Hong Kong, the release of the Canadian POWs, as well as the ship journey in different places back and forth from Canada. Almost all the photographs have a description (handwritten in ink in the back of the photographs or through recent printed material about the photos), all of them with a negative number and the "Royal Canadian Naval Photograph" mention in the back. That photo collection shows many views of V-E Day, the liberation of Hong Kong (a city of 1,500,000 people), the disarmament of Japanese soldiers, the facilitating of the Japanese surrender of September 16, 1945, the signing of the Armistice (by Admiral Cecil Harcourt, and Japanese Vice Admiral Fujita and Major General Umekichi, with Captain Creery as a witness), Peace Treaty Celebrations, views of Stanley, Kowloon, Sham Shui Po POW camps and the release of prisoners, POW close-ups in groups (Winnipeg Grenadiers, Royal Rifles, Eastern townships - Québec, the Roman Catholic missionaries), the daily life and struggle for survival in the streets of Hong Kong and in the harbour in times of war, views of Hong Kong from the Ship, of the Empress of Australia and of other British ships, photos of Crew members/officers and action scenes on her board, transport of amunitions, mounted Bofors and twin Oerlikons fitted with gyro sights, burials at sea, etc. Also scenes of the journey en route to Hong Kong and return, in Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, Manila, Sydney, passing under the Lion's Gate Bridge, San Francisco and Esquimalt (British Columbia); King Neptune's Court (traditional initiation while crossing the Equator), Hawaiian entertainers and Hula Dancers at Pearl Harbour, Honolulu, boxing matches, etc. A total of 1682 Canadians were made prisoners of war by Japan, mainly after the Hong Kong battle of 1943. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the H.M.C.S. Prince Robert was sent to Hong Kong to help liberate that colony from the Japanese and recuperate the Canadian soldiers and Roman Catholic missionaries who were jailed in the camps there. Another task of the Royal Canadian Navy Crewmen was to prevent looting and keep the Chinese from killing the Japanese soldiers. The Prince Robert, under the command of Capt. W. B. Creery, sailed on July 4th 1945 for Sydney via San Francisco. At that point she became a unit of the British fleet with a formidable task force of two fleet carriers, Indomitable and Venerable, two cruisers, Swiftsure and Euryalus, 14 destroyers, minesweepers, the eighth submarine flotilla and a hospital ship was assembled by the British admiral. By that time, the atomic bombs had been dropped and the Japanese had capitulated. Hong Kong was isolated with a garrison of only about 15,000. The Prince Robert stayed in Hong Kong for just over two (2) months. This fantastic real photo collection shows the key actions undertaken by the Royal Canadian Navy and the British in relation to the Japanese surrender in Hong Kong. The Prince Robert sailed home on September 20th and arrived in Esquimalt, B.C. on October 20th. The PR. Photography.

Aggiungi al carrelloFrom around 1913 the recipient of these two documents elected to go by the name of Ralph Tindal. On the outbreak of the Great War he was appointed captain of the destroyer Electra, and in 1917 was made captain of the torpedo gunboat Circe. Thereafter he worked with paddle minesweepers, retiring with the rank of Commander in 1921…. He was the father of RAF Group Captain Nicholas Tindal-Carill-Worsley (1911-2006), one of the planners of the celebrated Great Escape from Stalag Luft III. The National Maritime Museum contains a collection of 'Documents relating to the Naval Cadetship of Charles N, and Ralph Tindal Carill-Worsley. / Examinations, correspondence and printed documents' (MSS/76/080).

Aggiungi al carrelloTSS Transylvania (the prefix stands for 'Twin Screw Steamship') was built in Glasgow for the Anchor Line and launched in 1925. She had three funnels, but two were redundant, only serving to render the ship more attractive to prospective passengers. In 1940 she requisitioned by the Royal Navy, and the following year she was torpe…doed by the Germans, sinking with the loss of 36 lives. The letter is 13pp, 12mo; with neat single-space typing, on thirteen leaves. It contains three line diagrams, and on a separate 12mo leaf is an ink drawing, with captions, titled 'As the Herrewich [sic] appeared when we last saw her'. Also present is a sepia postcard of 'T.S.S. TRANSYLVANIA'. The letter and diagram are in fair condition, aged and worn but with text clear and entire. The postcard is good, with light aging. Signed in type 'Alex.' With manuscript diagrams and salutation to 'Dear Mother and Father'. A well written missive (the use of catch-words implies a good education), beginning: 'It is surprising that now, more than five days after leaving Glasgow, we should be only about 1000 miles from home. The explanation is probably well known to you all: but although you will have had newspaper accounts of the great storm and of the wreck we stood by, I'm quite sure that some amplifications in the form of our personal experiences will be both welcome and of interest. In the first place let me hasten to assure you that none of us came to any harm. In the main, we are all well. Mary has not been able to be out of bed much so far, but, on the other hand, she has been free from sickness - which is a very remarkable thing considering our experiences.' After news of 'Anne' and 'Virginia' ('Mary' and 'Aunt Mima' are also referred to) he reports that they 'arrived at Moville about midnight on Monday and spent a great night in Lough Foyle. At 10.00 o'clock next morning the Londonderry tender came alongside and we took 350 passengers and their baggage on board - making the total passenger compliment about 1100. There are about 25 in the first class.' He finds the Transylvania 'a splendid ship for watching the sea from. The forward extension of B. deck in front of the bridge is very clear of truck, and there are no boats on it as there are on the others'. The account of the journey continues, followed by a seven-page account of the storm and rescue, beginning: 'In the evening of Tuesday it was apparent that the sea was rising higher and higher, as was the wind: and through the night it was obvious that something unusual in the way of weather was blowing up. / Now, I've thought previously that we have been in Atlantic storms before. Two years ago on the "Cameronia" was a bad time: and one day last year the "Caledonia" was thrown about considerably: but our [in pencil 'my'] farthest stretch of imagination - even my wildest fears - have never pictured anyting so [in pencil 'as'] tremendous as we awoke [in pencil 'the situation'] to on Wednesday morning.' He gives a vivid description of the ship 'riding out the storm magnificently', as he is caught by 'plants, flowerpots, chairs and so on': 'The second and third class passengers were locked in and battened down for about two days. The stern of the ship was almost completely under water, and the hatchways to the steward's quarters were stove in during the night and all the stewards woke up to find themselves invaded by a foot or two of water.' The storm subsides and she comes across the wreck of a 'large German tramp' he calls the 'Herrenwich', 'a poignant and pathetic spectacle; and more so was the view we had of the hapless crew clinging to what was left on the bare decks. We gradually got the story bit by bit, as it filtered through the bridge, where it was picked up, I suppose, by signals. A great wave had landed on the "Herrenwich", and had stove in the hatch of No. 3 hold, on the forward well deck. This hold was full of water, and the restraining bulkheads were bulging. The captain sent out his S. O. S.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Very good. Slight foxing. Wear on old fold lines. Size 11.5 x 35.25 Inches. This 1882 chromolithograph by Emrik and Binger depicts a Royal Navy first-rate ship of the line of the pre-Dreadnought era. The image appeared in the contemporaneous magazine The Boy's Own Paper ; it demonstrates advances in not only naval (a…nd printing) technology but also the development of youth literature, as well as the inculcation of patriotic and 'manly' virtues in the Victorian era. A Closer Look The sheet is dominated by a cross-sectional view of a first-rate ship of the line, perhaps meant to illustrate a potential evolution of the Sultan class of ships seen above, with three levels of guns instead of the Sultan's two. Aside from the guns and gunners, other crew members go about their duties on deck, in the magazine and storerooms, in officers' quarters, or in the ship's boiler and engine room. On the second level at right are a man and woman in a relatively spacious room, likely meant to be the captain and his wife, the only woman aboard. At top are small schematics of the designs of several classes and types of ships in Royal Navy service at the time. The main ship seen here and those at top represent a transitional stage in naval technology. Ironclad sides had become the norm with most ships, except those designed for speed, and steam power was now obligatory, even if sails were more reliable and efficient much of the time. The HMS Devastation , seen at top-left, the latest battleship at the time, was notable for eschewing sails altogether, acknowledging the supremacy of steam power, and for having revolving turrets rather than broadside guns. By the 1890s, the Royal Navy's Majestic class of battleship would become the gold standard, introducing new design elements and taking on an entirely new appearance that was closer to the HMS Dreadnought , which launched in 1906, representing a new era of naval technology. Chromolithography Chromolithography is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Oftentimes, the process would start with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors were layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired effect. Chromolithograph color could also be effectively blended for even more dramatic results. The process became extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it emerged as the dominant method of color printing. The vivid color chromolithography produced made it exceptionally effective for advertising and propaganda imagery. Publication History and Census This sheet was printed by Emrik and Binger for the November 1882 issue of the publication The Boy's Own Paper , launched only three years prior. This work is only independently cataloged with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, while partial or full runs of The Boy's Own Paper are held by some 40 institutions worldwide.
