THROM Italian duomoes and picture-galleries William Denny passed to the workshop in his father's ship-yard in Dumbarton, under the murky atmosphere of the Vale of Leven, to serve an apprenticeship of five years to the trade of ship-building. It was to be a very real and thorough apprenticeship; for Mr. Denny, while a kind-hearted man, was at the same time a stern father, and had no idea of rearing his sons to be fine gentlemen, nominally connected with business, but spending their time and his wealth in fashionable amusements and genteel idleness. He would not even run the risk of his son falling between the two stools of ship-building and learning. Therefore he determined not to adopt the advice given by Mr. Murray in the letter quoted at the close of last chapter--to send William to the university during the winter months. It was a very natural and proper advice for him to give, and the course suggested was a very desirable one if it could be carried out compatibly with attaining the end aimed at: that of making the lad a real, not a sham, ship-builder, or indeed a ship-builder of any sort. William himself probably was in favour of Mr. Murray's plan; it is certain, at least, that not very long after his apprenticeship had commenced he expressed regret that he had not got the benefit of a university training. One can understand and sympathise with his feeling, yet without hesitation approve of the decision come to. Going to the university would have issued in an entirely different vocation: that of a literary man, or more probably that of a clergyman; for at the time William uttered the regrets above referred to his thoughts were running in the direction of the Church. These thoughts were not whimsical. They...

Download or read book Tracing Your Shipbuilding Ancestors written by Anthony Burton and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Burton's concise and informative guide to British shipbuilding will be absorbing reading for anyone who wants to learn about its history or find out about the life of a shipbuilder and his family. In a clear and accessible way he traces its development from the medieval period to its peak in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and on into the present day. He describes how, at the height of its powers, it was of immense importance. It employed tens of thousands of workers, so a large proportion of the population today has some connection with it. And this great industry was also so widespread that wherever you move around the coast of Britain, you will never be far from a former shipbuilding center.This practical handbook will be an invaluable guide for family and local historians and for readers with a more general interest in shipbuilding. It introduces the variety of national and local records that are available for genealogical research and considers the many other resources that can yield fascinating information about the industry and those who worked in it.

Download or read book The Dreadnought and the Edwardian Age written by Andrew Lambert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HMS Dreadnought (1906) is closely associated with the age of empire, the Anglo-German antagonism and the naval arms race before the First World War. Yet it was also linked with a range of other contexts - political and cultural, national and international - that were central to the Edwardian period. The chapters in this volume investigate these contexts and their intersection in this symbolically charged icon of the Edwardian age. In reassessing the most famous warship of the period, this collection not only considers the strategic and operational impact of this 'all big gun' battleship, but also explores the many meanings Dreadnought had in politics and culture, including national and imperial sentiment, gender relations and concepts of masculinity, public spectacle and images of technology, and ideas about modernity and decline. The volume brings together historians from different backgrounds, working on naval and technological history, politics and international relations, as well as culture and gender. This diverse approach to the subject ensures that the book offers a timely revision of the Dreadnought and the Edwardian Age.'
