Nelson's Right Hand Man The Life and Times of Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Fremantle. ,E. J. Hounslow A biography of Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Fremantle (1765-1819). Joining the Royal Navy as a midshipman in the Hussar at the age of 11, he progressed quickly through the ranks, being promoted to lieutenant in 1782 and was given command of the sloop Spitfire in 1790. As a post-captain, Fremantle commanded the Tartar and came to the notice of Horatio Nelson during the Siege of Bastia. Further commands included the Inconstant and the Ganges at the Battle of Copenhagen. He continued to serve alongside Nelson as his companion and junior officer, taking command of the Neptune, the third in Nelson's division at the Battle of Trafalgar. Following the Battle, Fremantle towed the Victory back to Gibraltar and then spent the next five years in England serving as Member of Parliament for Sandwich and then rear-admiral before taking command of the Adriatic Fleet. Promoted to vice admiral, he became commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet in 1818. He died from a sudden illness at home in 1819 leaving his widow Elizabeth (nee Wynne) and children. The text includes extracts of letters and diaries and is supported by photographic plates and a bibliography. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92FREMANTLE, THOMAS

"The voyage of the F.H. Moore" and other 19th century whaling accounts / Samuel Grant Williams, J. Ross Browne, Capt. Charles H. Robbins, and Francis Allyn Olmsted ; edited by Greg Bailey. "In 1873, 21-year-old Sam Williams embarked on a whaling journey on the two-masted F.H. Moore--he steered one of the smaller boats and when in range threw the harpoon. During the 16-month voyage, he kept a personal log and later reworked it into this never-before-published manuscript, now supplemented by additional research and relevant excerpts of the official logbook of the ship. Complementing this are excerpts from three other accounts of whaling voyages: 'Incidents of a Whaling Voyage' by Francis Allyn Olmstead (1841), the oldest in this collection; 'Etchings of a Whaling Cruise' by J. Ross Browne (1846), an expose of the whaling industry; and 'The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories' by Capt. Charles Henry Robbins (1899), a personal story of nearly an entire life at sea. The four accounts open the 19th century world of whaling to modern readers in a realistic and unromantic way and illuminate the current worldwide debate on whaling."-- 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 639.245.1(73)"18"
Neptune : from grand discovery to a world revealed : essays on the 200th anniversary of the birth of John Couch Adams /editor-in-chief, William Sheehan ; Trudy E. Bell, Carolyn Kennett, Robert W. Smith, editors. "The 1846 discovery of Neptune is one of the most remarkable stories in the history of astronomy. However, the events surrouding this discovery have long been mired in controversy engaging European and American astronomers alike. Who first predicted the new planet? Was the discovery a triumph of Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation, or was it just a lucky fluke? Written by an international group of experts, this path-breaking volume explores in unprecedented depth the contentious history of Neptune's discovery. Drawing on newly discovered documents and re-examining the historical record, the authors reveal new insights into kew individuals and the pressures acting on them. Moreover, using modern tools in celestial mechanics developed in the last twenty years, the book discusses Newton's ideas about gravity and re-examines the calculations that prompted the discovery of Neptune. This process also reveals why the approach that proved so potent for Neptune's discovery could not produce similar discoveries, despite several valiant attempts. The final cahpters recount how the discovery of Neptune marked the end of one quest - to explain the wayward motions of Uranus - and the beginning of another: to understand the outer Solar System, whose icy precincts Neptune, the outermost of the giant planets, bounds."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. txt
