Excerpt: ...In February, 1835, the following account was also published in the magazine: --" The ' Elizabeth Rashleigh, ' of Plymouth, from Quebec for Padstow, experienced a violent gale of wind from w. s. w., on the 4th u1t., in 48 N., long. 27 w., and became water-logged. During the storm, six of the crew were washed overboard; the master, two mates and three seamen took to the long-boat, and were icked up by the ' Caroline, ' after having been nine days in that perilous state, during w ich time one of the unfortunate sufierers died insane. As the only means of saving their lives, the survivors were obliged to have recourse to the horrible expedient of drinking the blood and eating the flesh of their deceased shipmate, even to the entrails. Previously their only sustenance had been a few raw potatoes, ' which had been exhausted for some days, though only a single potato was served out to each man per diem. The captain, Rashleigh, still lies at Plymouth, in a very dangerous state." In February, 1836, an account was published respecting the " Earl Killie," Captain Hindmarsh, formerly an East-india-man, a vessel about 560 tons, left Quebec on the 15th of November, loaded Mr. G. c. S, 't;, . with deals, bound to London, with a crew of 28 men and one passenger. She was upset 4 June 1839. in a gale of wind; several men perished. When she righted, her deck-load, anchors and chain cables were gone, and the survivors lived upon rats and the dead body of the mate until taken off by the Marsden, Captain Hall Robson, of Sunderland, from Quebec, bound to Hull, The same month a statement was extracted from the New York Advertiser, respecting the Edgar, a ship Tiber, Captain Oliver, from Hamburgh, fell in with it; four...

Download or read book Maritime Capital written by Eric W. Sager and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1990-11-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sager and Panting describe in detail the growth of the shipping industry and the economic context in which the shipping merchants operated. Shipowning and shipbuilding were a central part of the mercantile economy of the Atlantic colonies of British North America. But, following a slow and incomplete transition in the region from commercial to industrial capitalism, the shipping industry collapsed: by 1900 the local fleets were a third of their size a mere two decades earlier. The shipowners of the region, Sager and Panting argue, were merchants first: they shifted their investments to landward enterprises because they believed Confederation offered new and better possibilities for commercial exchange. Canadian capital and the Canadian state acted together to build transcontinental railways but gave little support for a Canadian merchant navy. Maritimers became Canadians and turned away from their seaward past, thereby relinquishing control and management of the industrial economy that followed the age of wood, wind, and sail. Drawing upon both the data base of the Atlantic Canada Shipping Project and important secondary sources, Sager and Panting show that the merchant class, in failing to maintain a merchant marine built and owned in their region, contributed in no small way to the Maritimes' present state of underdevelopment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks to fill the 'blue hole' in Global History by studying the role of the oceans themselves in the creation, development, reproduction and adaptation of knowledge across the Atlantic world. It shows how globalisation and the growth of maritime knowledge served to reinforce one another, and demonstrates how and why maritime history should be put firmly at the heart of global history. Exploring the dynamics of globalisation, knowledge-making and European expansion, Global Ocean of Knowledge takes a transnational approach and transgresses the traditional border between the early modern and modern periods. It focuses on three main periodisations, which correspond with major transformations in the globalisation of the Atlantic World, and analyses how and to what extent globalisation forces from above and from below influenced the development and exchange of knowledge. Davids distinguishes three forms of globalising forces 'from above'; imperial, commercial and religious, alongside self-organisation, the globalising force 'from below'. Exploring how globalisation advanced and its relationship with knowledge changed over time, this book bridges global, maritime, intellectual and economic history to reflect on the role of the oceans in making the world a more connected place.

Download or read book Hurricanes written by Henry F. Diaz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricanes of the North Atlantic Ocean have left their imprint on the landscape and human cultures for thousands of years. In modern times, fewer lifes have been lost due, in part, to the development of modern communication systems, and to improved understanding of the mechanisms of storm formation and movement. However, the immense growth of human populations in coastal areas, which are at risk to hurricanes, has resulted in very large increases in the amount of property damage sustained in the last decade in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean regions. This book is of interest to climatologists and meteorologists and as source of information for policymakers and emergency management planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time in history when the sea was as important as the land for defining a country's social and cultural identity. Outrageous Seas is about that time, and about the harrowing, almost mythic, experience of shipwreck, near-shipwreck, and survival in waters off Newfoundland. Travellers from many walks of life - explorers and missionaries, traders, fishers and mariners, Native Peoples, aristocrats and immigrants - have left rare and fascinating first-hand accounts of such disasters. Their narratives span four centuries and touch many historical sub-themes such as the appeal of religion in times of crisis, gender roles, and the ocean-as-workplace. Apart from its obvious scholarly appeal, this collection evokes psychic responses to calamity and brushes with death, perhaps the most universal experience of all.

Download or read book Merchants and Mariners written by Lars U. Scholl and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents twelve essays by historian David M. Williams, in order to pay tribute to his career. The essays stretch from 1807 through to the end of the nineteenth century, and address both economic and social themes. Topics include maritime trade, deployment of merchant ships, the state regulations concerning shipping, shipwrecks and loss of life, passenger cargoes, slavery, cotton, timber and coffee trades, and the working conditions of seamen over the course of the century. The plight of the maritime labourer is at the core of this collection. The essays primarily focus on British shipping, and firmly places it within an international context. The book is introduced by Lars U. Scholl, followed by two tributes to Williams’ career, one by Peter N. Davies, the other by Lewis R. Fischer. Scholl concludes the volume with a thorough bibliography of Williams’ maritime writings: books, chapters, and articles.
