American coastal rescue craft : a design history of coastal rescue craft used by the United States Life-Saving "William Wilkinson and Timothy Dring provide detailed history and technical design information on each and every type of small rescue craft ever used by the United States Life-Saving Service and United States Coast Guard, from the early 1800s to current day. By looking at these vessels, many of which featured innovative designs, they shed light on the brave men and women who served in USLSS and USCG stations, saving innumerable lives. In the book and on the accompanying CD, rare photographs and drawings of each type of boat accompany detailed design histories, specifications, and station assignments for each craft. Including motorized, wind-powered, and human-powered vessels, this work will become an important reference for maritime historians, rescue craft preservation groups, and museums, as well as members of the general public interested in these craft."--Provided by the publisher. 2009. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 627.772

From coastal sail to global shipping, 1909-2009 : the history of the Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association "Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association was established in 1909 and was originally part of the Sailing Ship Mutual Association which originated in the Southwest of England. In its early years it insured many of the well known sailing ships; the Nurse Brothers ships from Gloucester, the Ashburner fleet from Barrow and the Stephens fleet from Fowey. These were the famous ships in the foreign trade in their time but by 1909 they were confined to the coastal trade and the days of sail were numbered. By the inter war years the Club was insuring barges on the Thames and Medway rivers. Today Steamship Mutual is one of the top international Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs and insures containerships, cruise ships, tankers and many other vessels owned across the world. By looking at the people and the events that influenced its history, this book tells the story of how this small British club, insuring just a few hundred vessels, became a successful global organisation."--Dust jacket. 2009. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 368.23

The war for England's shores : S-Boats and the fight against British coastal convoys /G. H. Bennett. "The War for England's Shores examines the Kriegsmarine's S-Boat offensive along the English Channel and the North Sea from 1940 to 1945, together with British (later Allied) responses to nullify that threat. Swift, and armed with torpedoes and mines, the S-Boats posed a serious threat to Britain's very survival, yet through painful evolution the British found a way to defend and deliver safely some 30 million tons of coal and general cargo through the narrow seas. Despite the potentially devastating consequences of this campaign against Britain's coastal trade it has been largely, and surprisingly, overlooked by historians. Using an array of archival materials from Britain, Germany and the United States, The War for England's Shores examines why the Germans failed to make the most of this opportunity to disrupt the British war economy. The author analyses how the British slowly nullified the threat by embracing new technologies and developing a system of sea control to gradually force the German S-Boat arm to transition from offensive action against Britain's coastal convoys to the defensive posture of waiting for the invasion of France."--Provided by the publisher. 2023. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.545943
Painting at the edge : British coastal art colonies 1880-1930 /Alison Bevan ... "The authors bring together the story of Britain's far-flung coastal art colonies at Newlyn, St Ives, Lamorna, Walberswick, Staithes, Cullercoats, Cockburnspath and Kirkcudbright. Publication comes at a time of renewed interest in the artists who worked in these late-nineteenth-century colonies. Each colony was sited in a small community dependent on fishing or farming and far enough away from urban centres to retain much of their old customs, costumes and ways of life, yet reasonably accessible by rail and road. Many of the paintings produced at these eight colonies were concerned with rendering a 'truthful' depiction of a particular time and place, and can be seen as a celebration, almost, of various unique aspects of a British way of life that was even then fast disappearing."--Provided by the publisher. 2005. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 7.036(42)"1880/1930"
