Imagining the Arctic : Heroism, spectacle and polar exploration /Huw Lewis-Jones. "Imagining the Arctic explores the culture and politics of polar exploration and the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Much of exploration was in fact theatre: a series of performances to capture public attention and persuade governments to finance ambitious proposals. The achievements of explorers were promoted, celebrated, and manipulated, whilst explorers themselves became the subject of huge attention. Huw Lewis-Jones draws upon recovered texts and striking images, many reproduced for the first time since the nineteenth century, to show how exploration was projected through a series of spectacular visuals, helping us to reconstruct the ways that heroes and the wilderness were imagined. Elegantly written and richly illustrated, Imagining the Arctic offers original insights into our understanding of exploration and its pull on the public imagination."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(98/99)

Far distant ships : the blockade of Brest 1793-1815 /Quintin Barry "Throughout the long drawn out war at sea during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, it was a cardinal principle of British naval strategy to blockade the port of Brest, the largest and most important of the French naval bases that threatened the security of the British Isles. It was a strategy that had been perfected by Sir Edward Hawke during the Seven Years War of 1756 - 1763, when it culminated in the stunning victory of Quiberon Bay. The American naval historian A.T. Mahan memorably summed up the contribution of the Royal Navy to the ultimate defeat of Napoleon when he wrote: 'Those far distant, storm-beaten ships, upon which the Grand Army never looked, stood between it and the domination of the world.' There were many aspects to the blockade of Brest, but always at its centre was the need to frustrate French attempts at the invasion of Britain or Ireland. Most famous of these, of course, was Napoleon's intricate combination that led to the campaign of Trafalgar, in the course of which his invasion plans disintegrated. But there were many other offensive moves which it was the blockading fleet's duty to prevent. Inevitably, there were great sea battles when the French ventured out, though fewer than might have been expected. For many months at a time the British fleet was at sea off Brest facing the considerable dangers of wind and weather without encountering its adversary. There were many remarkable leaders who came to the fore during the long years of war; Howe, Bridport, St Vincent, Cornwallis and Keith were among those who led the Channel Fleet. Nelson described his captains as a 'band of brothers', but this was by no means a description that could be applied to the quarrelsome, self willed and argumentative group of men who held the destiny of the Royal Navy in their hands, whether at sea or around the boardroom table at the Admiralty. Drawing on the official and personal correspondence of those involved, this book traces the development of British naval strategy, as well as describing the crucial encounters between the rival fleets and the single ship actions which provided the press with a constant flow of news stories for its readers."--Provided by the publisher. 2017 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.463.3(42:44)"1793/1815"

Trafalgar 200 : Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar commemorated in coins and medallions /Thomas A. Hardy ; edited by Peter A. Clayton. "On 21 October every year, on British Naval ships and bases throughout the world, the toast 'To the Immortal Memory' has been and will continue to be given. It will be drunk in silence, and seated. Such is the tradition that keeps alive the memory of one of the England's greatest heroes, Vice-Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. Dying in his hour of victory at the battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, his name will live forever in the annals of British naval history. The outpourings of grief at his death, and seen at his State funeral and burial in St Paul's Cathedral, London, were such as had never been seen before, or since. Endless souvenirs, mementoes of all kinds, in all sorts of materials, were produced then and throughout the following years. Most lasting of them were the many commemorative medallions in gold, silver, bronze and other metals produced from 1805 onwards, especially for the centenary in 1905, and the bi-centenary of the battle in 2005. These were treated in the companion volume Remember Nelson (Spink, 2005). This book continues in recording those medallions, coins and other relevant items that were produced after 2005, and it also incorporates an Appendix that includes relevant items that have been recorded since the original publication. It also includes much interesting historical detail relating to the items and the occasion of their production."--Provided by the publisher. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 737.1/.2(23):92NELSON
