Book excerpt: The story of the clipper ship Clontarf: In her short career the Clontarf made only two journeys to New Zealand between 1858-1860; introducing just under 800 emigrants to Canterbury. But before she slipped beneath the North Atlantic ocean she carried with her the unfortunate infamy of accumulating the worst human fatality from illness alone in a single voyage. Using shipboard diaries, official documentation, shipping lists and the combined information from the descendants of Clontarf passengers themselves, this is an informative and in-depth record of the ship and her journeys.

While attending Catholic school in the 1950s, she aspires to write and figure out lifes mysteries without much guidance. Experiencing a frightening existence, she escapes by writing a book with the help of a ghost. Polly is visited by a spirit as she begins to pen a tale about the Irish Potato Famine. The apparition helps her to create by relating her own Famine story, and offers some advice. Dailearie ODonovan, the visitation, tells of her adventures during the Famine in Ireland. By pirating and taking grain to county Mayo where their relatives previously died, she and her brothers hope to be the hand of Gods bounty. This narrative describes coming of age before the era of information and the Internet, and the horrors of An Gorta Mr, The Great Hunger. It recounts the real difficulties that are often experienced by children and adults alike that have lived with someone suffering from alcoholism. Both the spirit and the very young author eventually find solutions to the devastating problems they both encounter

Book Synopsis Many Voyages in Strange Crafts by : Captain William Rodick
Download or read book Many Voyages in Strange Crafts written by Captain William Rodick and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-09-25 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young William Rodick was determined to go to sea, like his sea captain father. Even though his father warned him against it, William apprenticed with a merchant marine and boarded his first ship in Liverpool, England, at the age of fourteen. This began a life spent working at sea, travelling around the world and having seafaring adventures, until William’s retirement at the age of eighty in 1931. His voyages were often perilous, with storms, near-drownings, illness, physical violence, and encounters with many eccentric and interesting seamen and passengers. Many Voyages in Strange Crafts is Captain William Rodick’s firsthand account of life at sea at the turn of the twentieth century. He shares the struggles of a young apprentice in a harsh world, where boys were expected to quickly become men, and a view of the world in a time now past. He includes a wealth of information about marine history, the Scottish shipbuilding industry, and the dredging and creation of the Australian harbours. Captain Rodick also served in the Great War, and for his difficult and hazardous wartime duties, he received the Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire medal. In his own words, Captain Rodick had “many voyages in strange crafts.”
Book Synopsis The English New England Voyages, 1602–1608 by : David B. Quinn
Download or read book The English New England Voyages, 1602–1608 written by David B. Quinn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of the narrative accounts of the voyages of Gisnold (1602) and Waymouth (1605) opened up for English readers what was then known as Norumbega, the later New England; They are the first documents of exploration of that region to have been published since that of Verrazzano's voyage (1524) in 1556. To the accounts of these voyages by John Brereton and James Rosier there was added by Purchas in 1625 the material of Martin Pring's voyage of 1603 and some scraps of information on the attempted colony by the Virginia Company of Plymouth at Sagadahoc on the Kennebec River in 1607-1608. The narrative of the voyage of the Mary and John, discovered in the 19th century, and now attributed to Robert Davies, remains our main authority for the 1607 voyage. Many ancillary documents are added to these essential sources. Most of these narratives have been edited in the distant past but they are now furnished with full information on fauna, flora, and above all, ethnography. The material which has become available on Indians of both northern and southern New England has enabled a full account to be given of them, while expert advice has been obtained in the edition of the Eastern Abenaki vocabulary of 1605. Considerable attention has been paid to topographical problems, to which new solutions are offered in a number of cases (though conflicting views are discussed in an appendix). The volume thus makes up a collection which is basic for the understanding of how Englishmen began to explore New England (and how its inhabitants learnt something of the English) and on how that important territory first came to light in detail. The narratives are of great interest in themselves and the biographical information which it has been possible to assemble in the introduction about a number of the authors and actors in the voyages and the colonising attempt of 1607 is valuable in enabling the reader to understand what they wrote and what they omitted. Professor and Mrs Quinn have worked on this volume for a number of years and their introduction and notes constitute an important addition to our knowledge.

Book Synopsis A Woman of Good Character by : Charlotte Macdonald
Download or read book A Woman of Good Character written by Charlotte Macdonald and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the 1840s and 1880s, thousands of young single women came to New Zealand as assisted migrants from Britain and Ireland. In this detailed study of forgotten lives, Charlotte Macdonald highlights the experiences and identities of a vitally important migrant group, one previously overshadowed by the stories of gold diggers, pastoralists, soldiers, adventurers and agricultural labourers. Macdonald, a pioneer of research into women’s history, brings a new perspective on New Zealand’s European settlement. Her compelling study will appeal to anyone seeking to investigate the origins of contemporary New Zealand identity.
