The Bard brothers : painting America under steam and sail "Before the railroad, the great transportation innovation in American life was the steamboat, first successfully developed commercially by Robert Fulton in 1807. [...] Much of what we know about how steamboats looked between 1835 and 1900 comes from the meticulously detailed paintings of John and James Bard, twin brothers who were born in New York City in 1815, coincidentally the same year that Robert Fulton died. The Bard brothers taught themselves to paint, turning out their first joint work at the age of twelve, and they became the greatest chroniclers of the steamboat era. [...] To celebrate the Bards' achievements, The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, has produced the traveling exhibition that stimulated this book. Aiding in the museum's work has been Anthony J. Peluso, Jr., without doubt the leading authority on the work of the two brothers. [...] The narrative tells the life stories of the brothers, who grew up in modest circumstances in lower Manhattan. [...] The book also offers delightful details about the steamboats themselves, their colorful and competitive owners (including Cornelius Vanderbilt and Jay Gould), and the river and harbor traffic of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. For the Americana buff, anyone interested in United States history and technology, for the steamboat fancier and the folk art enthusiast, this volume is a must."--Provided by the publisher. 1997 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 7Bard

The transformation of British naval strategy : seapower and supply in Northern Europe, 1808-1812 /James Davey. After the Battle of Trafalgar, the Navy continued to be the major arm of British strategy. After decades of practice and refinement it was expert at executing operations - fighting battles, blockading and convoying - across the globe. And yet, as late as 1807, fleets were forced from their stations due to an ineffective provisioning system. The book is a detailed study of national policy, administrative and political reform and strategic viability. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.02(42)"1808/1812"

Opposing the slavers : the Royal Navy's campaign against the Atlantic slave trade /Peter Grindal. "Much is known about Britain s role in the Atlantic slave trade during the eighteenth century but few are aware of the sustained campaign against slaving conducted by the Royal Navy after the passing of the Slave Trade Abolition Act of 1807. Peter Grindal provides the definitive account of this little known yet important part of the British, European and American history. Drawing on original sources to provide a comprehensive and engaging narrative of the naval operations against slavers of all nations in particular Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil, he describes how illegal traders sought to evade treaty obligations, reveals the obduracy of the USA that prolonged the slave trade, and shows how, despite inadequate resources, the Royal navy s sixty year campaign forced slavers to expend ever greater sums top conduct their business and confront the losses inflicted by capture and condemnation. A work that will transform our understanding of the Royal Navy s campaign against the Atlantic slave trade."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 326.4(42)
Bell Rock lighthouse : an illustrated history /Michael A. W. Strachan "Since its completion in 1811, the Bell Rock Lighthouse has been revered as an industrial wonder of the world. The iconic tower was built on the Inchcape Rock, a submerged reef some 12 miles off the coast of Arbroath, and now stands as the oldest sea-washed tower in the world, surviving over 200 years of violent storms and crashing waves. The construction of the Bell Rock made the name of the Stevenson family, a dynasty of lighthouse engineers who dominated Scottish lighthouse engineering for 150 years. Robert Stevenson was the first man on the reef and the last man off, a personal commitment which saw the Bell Rock's actual Chief Engineer, John Rennie, almost deleted from the building's history. The Bell Rock is, however, more than just Stevenson and Rennie. Not only was it a remarkable feat of engineering, but one which played host to a remarkable way of life. The light-keepers undertook nightly vigils on the rock for 177 years, their often mundane and monotonous duties occasionally being punctuated by technological improvements and world events. The keepers are now all gone but the Bell Rock continues to show its familiar flash for the safety of all."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 627.715(413.1)
