The book of the Solent : including the Isle of Wight coastal voyage "The Solent and its mainland and Isle of Wight shorelines have a unique and varied character. The landscape and coastal waters have evolved over the last 10,000 years fulfilling a vital role as a route for shipping, trading and other activities such as fishing and recreation. The extensive development along parts of the Solent shoreline together with recreational and other demands, can cause conflict with the natural environment which is of international importance. There is a need to reconcile the often conflicting demands that exist in the Solent in order to ensure that activities such as commerce and tourism can continue to exist in harmony with the natural environment." Chapters in the book include the Solent's pre-history; the natural environment; military history; the enchanted shore of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight; yachts and yachtsmen.--Provided by the publisher. 2001 • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 556.54(261.268)

Voices from the shoreline : the ancient & ingenious traditions of coastal fishing. "For generations, coastal fishermen, working at the very fringe between land and sea, have fished salmon and herring using methods passed down from father to son. Some of these ancient traditions have been traced back as far as the days when the men from Scandinavia colonised these lands in the eighth and ninth centuries; others are simply nineteenth century in origin. Sadly, in recent years stocks have dwindled and regulations limit local fishing practices. Today, some surviving methods, such as haaf-netting, are in danger of dying out, whilst other traditional fisheries now lie abandoned. Though herring stocks have recovered from their late twentieth-century decline, the Atlantic salmon is now under immense threat and more danger of extinction than ever before. Tracing and describing his own journey from North Devon, through Wales and up to the top of Scotland, along with interviews with many fishermen, both retired and working, Mike Smylie explores the social history of these indigenous fishing traditions and communities, presenting a picture of their lives, past, present and future."-- 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 338.37274520941

The beachman's coast Suffolk : coastal communities and their boats /Robert Simper. "This book is Robert?s fortieth and is a record of the men and the boats that worked off the open beaches of Suffolk. Aldeburgh, Southwold and Lowestoft were the main beach landings but there were sixteen places where boats were once worked off a beach. Most of the boats were used for fishing but in the nineteenth century, there were also yawls operated by the Beach Companies that were the fastest work-boats in the British Isles. The golden period for beachmen was in the mid-Victorian period and there was a mini boom in inshore fishing in the 1960-70s. In 1900 there had been many hundreds of boats working from Suffolk beaches and by 2015 there were just five. By this time wooden boats had given way to high-speed fibreglass boats."--Provided by the publisher. 2015. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 656.618.2

Coastal defences of the British Empire in the Revolutionary & Napoleonic eras / Daniel MacCannell. "Far more than an architecture book, Coastal Defences of the British Empire in the Revolutionary & Napoleonic Eras is a sweeping reinterpretation of the Martello towers, Grand Redoubts, Royal Military Canal and other new defence infrastructure. Lavishly illustrated with period maps, views, portraits, cartoons and newly commissioned colour photographs, it includes not only these structures' forerunners, and plans that were never executed, but also the grand strategy that informed them. At its best, this saw Britain's position as a vast land battle, with the deadly threat of the French-held Antwerp navy yards on its own 'left wing', and Lisbon as the enemy's 'weak left' to be 'turned'. The book also takes in the astonishingly inventive, bold and bloody small-boat wars that raged from the Baltic and Channel coast to Chesapeake Bay and Lake Ontario, and provides vivid pen-sketches of the now-obscure and sometimes deeply flawed strategic visionaries, engineers, inventors, and fighting men who held the line as - even after Trafalgar - the forces of an ever more powerful French empire circled like sharks. Along the way, it traces a fundamental change in the nature of war and society: from a ponderous game of fortresses and colonies played by rulers, to murderous 'foot by foot' defence of the whole territory of the nation by 'both sexes and every social type'."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.4509171241
