Download or read book The Channel Islands in Anglo-French Relations, 1689-1918 written by Colin Partridge and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how the Channel Islands have been crucial to Britain's successful maritime superiority in the English Channel. The Channel Islands have played a key role in both naval warfare and Anglo-French diplomacy, but this has not always been highlighted sufficiently even though Britain and France were at war for most of the period 1689-1815. This book considers a wide range of maritime subjects where the role of the Channel Islands has been significant, such as intelligence gathering, piracy and privateering, and naval strategy and control of the Channel. It also examines topics in relation to the Channel Islands specifically, such as surveying and hydrography, fortifications, trade and Channel Islands societies. It charts changes over time, including the impact of technological changes, from the wars of Louis XIV and William III, through the many Anglo-French wars of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and includes planning for wars which were anticipated but avoided. Throughout the issues are discussed from the perspectives of Britain, France and the Channel Islands themselves, equal weight being given to all three perspectives. Andrew Lambert is Professor of War Studies at King's College, London and one of Britain's foremost maritime and naval historians. Colin Partridge is a former consultant to the States of Guernsey's 'Fortress Guernsey' programme for the restoration and interpretation of Guernsey's fortifications. Jean de Préneuf is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lille and Head of the Research, Teaching and Studies Unit at the Historical Branch of the French Ministry of Defence at Vincennes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1903, racing for the America’s Cup was no longer a gentleman’s game – it had become a race entangled with political tension and awesome, dangerous stakes. In this pivotal year, the two great rivals Britain and America raced head to head, with Britain determined to win with their privately funded Shamrock III, and America’s bravado backed up by Reliance. Reliance was a yacht like no other – a work of beauty carrying more sail than any single-masted boat before. Some believed that the boat towering 190 feet above the water was simply too dangerous, but the race called for such staggering risk. Pastore brings life to this strikingly astounding vessel from conception, to construction, to the hair-raising trials at sea. It is simply one of the most exciting sea tales ever told.

Download or read book The Low Black Schooner written by John Rousmaniere and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 1986 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of that world-renowned racing yacht, the 1851 schooner America, written by yachting journalist and historian John Rousmaniere, is illustrated with paintings, photographs and drawings from sources here and in Europe. America's great achievement was the victory in 1851 that brought what came to be called the America's Cup to these shores, and The Low Black Schooner devotes its first pages to that dramatic story. But John Rousmaniere gives equal attention to her subsequent history, some of it obscure, from cruises and campaigns under English ownership, to Confederate States service, to an up-and-down career as a U.S. Navy vessel, and finally to her scrapping at the Trumpy yacht yard in Annapolis, where her remains yielded $990.90 worth of lead and salvageable wood. The illustrations in this book, many in color, include some great paintings, along with lines plan, rigging plan and sailplan drawings from the 1850s.
