Download or read book The Officer of the Watch Telescope written by Brian Buckman and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1840s to the 1950s By 1840, new midshipmen in the British Navy began substituting the rifle range telescope for the large "day and night" naval telescopes then in use. These “officer of the watch” telescopes became a badge of rank in the Royal Navy, and many of the midshipmen kept them all of their lives… Almost all telescope makers of note made them, and opticians, jewelers, and tailors catering to the naval trade branded them. Foreign navies also adopted the style. This beautifully designed and detailed book is dedicated to these antique telescopes and those who love to collect them. Complete with hundreds of photographs, it’s THE comprehensive guide for collectors—or for those with a love of history and an appreciation for vintage instruments. Whether you’re a collector or simply a lover of antiques, you’ll find that Brian Buckman brings these beautiful instruments to life.

Book Synopsis From Dartmouth to War by : Adrian Holloway
Download or read book From Dartmouth to War written by Adrian Holloway and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adrian Holloway was only seventeen when he left the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth in 1940 and joined HMS Valiant as a Midshipman, sharing a gunroom with Midshipmen Terry Lewin and HRH Prince Philip. He arrived in the Mediterranean in time to witness the darkest days of the Mediterranean Fleet – providing cover for the Fleet Air Arm’s raid on Taranto, fighting at the Battle of Matapan and taking part in the evacuation of Crete – during which time the Royal Navy’s vessels were decimated. He also witnessed the sinking of HMS Barham, and after returning from an appointment to the Australian destroyer HMAS Nizam, was back on board Valiant when Italian frogmen mined her in Alexandria Harbour in 1941.In From Dartmouth to War Adrian Holloway presents a fascinating first-hand account of the war at sea, vividly recalling what it was like to be in battle whilst still little more than a schoolboy. He describes the transition from the safety of Dartmouth to the terror and confusion of the open ocean, at a time when Britain stood alone against the Axis. Complete with personal photographs, track charts and naval signals, this book provides an invaluable insight into the wartime activities of a junior officer.

Book excerpt: Promoted to acting lieutenant at the bloody Battle of Camperdown in October 1797, Thomas Kydd must now sit an examination to confirm his rank—or face an inglorious return before the mast. But this is only the first of many obstacles for a man who was pressed into the King's service and discovered a calling for the sea. Kydd is from humble origins, yet he attains the lofty heights of the quarterdeck as an officer in His Majesty's Navy. If he is to avoid spending the rest of his career as a tarpaulin officer, he must also become a gentleman. Kydd and his enigmatic friend Nicholas Renzi set sail in HMS Tenacious for the North American station. Aboard the old 64-gun ship, Kydd comes to doubt he will ever match up to the high-born gentlemen officers.
