The panoramic river : the Hudson and the Thames /Hudson River Museum. In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, all-encompassing bird s-eye views of the rivers and their lands that made humans seem the center of the universe. Popular planetarium visions for the 19th century audience, they are the roots of today's big screen immersive film experiences. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr., who emigrated from London to New York, exemplify the influx of English artists who influenced a shared Anglo-American panoramic vocabulary as well as the evolution of American landscape painting. Havell s work, (who also created many of the landscapes for Audubon s famous birds) includes panoramic publications and paintings of the Hudson River and the Thames like other artists in this exhibition such as Thomas Cole (Father of the Hudson River School), and noted artists Jasper Cropsey and John Kensett, who favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 7.047(282)

The River Welland, shipping & mariners of Spalding / by Keith Seaton. In its heyday Spalding was a busy commercial port, with a shipping industry that affected a large majority of the local population. But today that rich history is almost forgotten and the town is known mainly for its agricultural produce. Keith Seaton nostalgically seeks to recover that lost past, beginning with the River Welland of Roman times and traversing history up to the early twentieth century, when river traffic began to decline. The Industrial Revolution was a boom period for the waterway, and as such special attention is given to the master mariners of this important period. Using key sources such as census and shipping records, local family history records, maps and fascinating illustrations, The River Welland: Shipping & Mariners of Spalding creates a rich tapestry of the heritage of this once-thriving shipping area. KEITH SEATON was born and bred in Spalding, Lincolnshire. After joining the RAMC in 1959 for National Service that took him to Malaya, he spent a career in saw mills. He has previously written for the Chain Bridge Forge Museum on subjects relating to family history and local shipping history."--Provided by the publisher. 2013 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 656.61(425.3)

In search of Arctic wonders : Cumbria and the Arctic in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries /Rob David. "In this illustrated book, Dr Rob David explores the connections between Cumbria and the Arctic during one of the great eras of polar exploration. Many of the great names associated with the Arctic - Sir John Barrow, Sir William Edward Parry, Sir John Richardson and Sir John Ross - feature alongside less well-known explorers such as Skeffington Lutwidge. The polar adventures of the Fifth Earl of Lonsdale contrast with the Arctic exploits of Cumbrian mariners and ship builders such as Joseph Benn and George Taylor. The exciting stories of whaling vessels connected to the port of Whitehaven are vividly recounted. The book reveals that at one time curiosities acquired by travellers to the Arctic and spectacular polar entertainments were on show across the county. A useful gazetteer of surviving artefacts and locations with Arctic associations is included."--Back cover. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(428.5:98)

Medieval pirates : pirates, raiders and privateers, 1204-1453 /Jill Eddison. In the Medieval Period the English Channel was a particularly perilous stretch of water. It had two distinct (and often conflicting) functions: as a rich commercial seaway, on which the rising economy of the Western world depended; and secondly as a wide, lawless, political frontier between two belligerent monarchies, whose kings encouraged piracy as a cheap alternative to warfare, and enjoyed their own cut. Pirates prospered. They stole ships and cargoes, at sea or in port, and they carried out long-lasting vendettas against other groups. They ransomed the richest of their captives, but tipped innumerable sailors overboard. While kings were ambivalent, foreign relations were imperilled, and although it was briefly quelled by Henry V, piracy was never defeated during this turbulent epoch. Breaking new ground, on a subject that remains topical today, Jill Eddison explores medieval piracy as it waxed and waned, setting dramatic life stories against the better-known landmarks of history."--Provided by the publisher. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 341.362.1(261.2)"1204/1453"

The pre-Dreadnought revolution : developing the bulwarks of sea power /Warren Berry. "The late nineteenth century saw an unparalleled revolution in warship development as the Victorian Navy found itself grappling with intense technical change to ensure its survival in the modern theatre. From the wooden battleships of the 1800s, naval architecture underwent great change to produce a very different form of capital ship, which would have a huge impact and change naval design forever. The pre-Dreadnought was constructed of steel, wholly driven by steam power and carried its rifled ordnance in armoured turrets operated by hydraulics. Electrics, mechanical computers, mines and torpedo weapons were also utilised to create an immensely powerful fighting ship the likes of which had never been seen before. This well-illustrated and fascinating history reveals the process involved in that most rapid development, which in such a short time totally altered the naval forces of Britain and ensured that the British Navy remained the most powerful in the world."--Provided by the publisher. 2013 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.12(42)"18"
