Download or read book Pleasure Boating on the Thames written by Simon Wenham and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE RIVER THAMES above London underwent a dramatic transformation during the Victorian period, from a great commercial highway into a vast conduit of pleasure. Pleasure Boating on the Thames traces these changes through the history of the firm that did more than any other on the waterway to popularise recreational boating. Salter Bros began as a small boat-building enterprise in Oxford and went on to gain worldwide fame, not only as the leading racing boat constructor, but also as one of the largest rental craft and passenger boat operators in the country.Simon Wenham’s illustrated history sheds light on over 150 years of social change, how leisure developed on the waterway (including the rise of camping), as well as how a family firm coped with the changes brought about by industrialisation – a business that, today, still carries thousands of passengers a year.

Download or read book Thames and Medway Pleasure Steamers From 1935 written by Andrew Gladwell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period from the 1920s could be considered the Golden Age of pleasure steamers on the Thames and Medway. After the rigours of war, the fleets of the Belle Steamers, General Steam Navigation Co. and the New Medway Steam Packet Co. were once again busy with trade. Some of the ships had failed to return from war duties and new builds saw the fleets updated. Motor ships had begun to take over from the venerable paddlers which had sailed the rivers for decades. Golden Eagle, Crested Eagle, Royal Daffodil and the Medway are among the ships shown in the book. The steamers took Londoners away on their holidays and on day trips to the resorts of Southend, Clacton, Ramsgate and Margate as well as further afield to France and along the South Coast. After a resurgence at the end of the Second World War, by the late 1960s traffic had dwindled and many ships were sold or scrapped. Andrew Gladwell brings together a superb selection of images of the Thames and Medway pleasure steamers, with many illustrations of the ships and the piers they served.

Download or read book The Bofors Gun written by Terry Gander and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 40mm Bofors Gun, first produced in the 1930s, has become one of the most famous artillery pieces of all time. It shows no sign of fading from the defence scene even though, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, it performs in many roles that were not contemplated by its original designers. It has also proved to be so versatile that it is now allied to electronic and other technological marvels that were mere pipe dreams only a few years ago. When the Bofors entered the international defence market, its primary quarry, the military aircraft, was still a slow and fragile machine that could be terminally damaged by a single hit from a 40mm projectile. Terry Gander describes this early period in the gun's development and he shows how, despite recent?increases in target speed and other performance parameters, it can still inflict a one-hit kill on almost any aircraft, helicopter?or guided missile. Perhaps the most astonishing aspect of the story is that the fundamentals of today's Bofors guns remain virtually unchanged from the very first examples to come off the Karlskoga production line in Sweden. In all its forms, the Bofors continues to be a sound, reliable and lethal piece of military hardware that has given good service to gunners all over the world.?Terry Gander's comprehensive account of the history of this remarkable weapon over the course of almost eighty years is fascinating?reading and an invaluable work of reference for military historians and artillery specialists alike. It is the definitive work in the field.??As featured on BBC Radio Guernsey.
