Harwich Submarines in the Great War : the first submarine campaign of the Royal Navy in 1914 /Mark Harris "The Harwich Submarine Flotilla played a key role establishing British dominance in the North Sea at the beginning of the First World War. Letters, diaries, memoirs and combat reports of the participants are used to give a complete account. Much of this is in print for the first time. The foreword has been written by Rear Admiral Jonathan Westbrook CBE, former Royal Navy Submariner. Written in collaboration with the Friends of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, profits from royalties are contributing towards the work of the Museum. Both official and personal archive material is used to tell the story, sourced from British, German and French archives. The text is illustrated by charts and plans prepared using the patrol reports, war diaries and logs of the submarines and warships that took part. The war experience of the participants is brought to life, giving a real insight into what it was like to fight in these early submarines, whilst also relating what really happened and the true significance of the events. The Flotilla had to battle not just the enemy, but also the hazards of mines, human frailties, mechanical failure and the weather. The story of eery patrol in the 1914 campaign is told. This campaign saw the first torpedo fired in action by Royal Navy submarine, the first ship to be sunk and the first submarine to be lost in action. The commanders of the submarines were true pioneers, working out for the first time how to wage war with the latest technology of their age. Their patrol took submarine crews and commanders constantly onto the front line of the naval war to face a multitude of hazards. Many paid the ultimate price, with the names of figures like Roger Keyes and Max Horton to prominence. The early story of the Flotilla is also the story of a pivotal point in their journey to become key figures of the Royal Navy in the twentieth century. For others, even those who would go on to great fame as submariners, suhc as Martin Nasmith, it would be a challenging start to their wartime careers."--Provided by the publisher. 2021. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.451341

Dominic Serres RA 1719-1793: war artist to the navy / Alan Russett. "This book is a biography of the dominant British marine painter of his period, chronicling the naval history of epic years in print and painting. Born in France, travelling the world as a young man, brought to England as a prisoner-of-war, Dominic Serres became the dominant British marine painter of his period. Working initially with the print publishers who were recording the actions of the Seven Years' War, Serres soon attracted the patronage of the leading naval commanders of his day which was to occupy him for the rest of his life. His prolific output showed a similar evolution in content from early landscapes to the predominantly maritime subjects his distinguished patrons prescribed. He remained a landscapist at heart and included these features whenever he could. A founder member of the Royal Academy and Marine Painter to King George III, he played his part in a crucial period of development in British painting and of growing national awareness through colonial wars in the Americas."--Provided by the publisher. 2001. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 92SERRES, DOMINIC

Moss : the life and letters of a Royal Navy surgeon, Edward Lawton Moss MD, RN, 1843-1880 /Paul C. A biography of Edward Lawton Moss, a Royal Navy surgeon, who was born in Ireland in 1843 and went on to serve in the Caribbean, the Arctic, on Canada's Pacific coast and in the Balkans. His first posting, in 1864, to the ship HMS Bulldog, based in the West Indies, was followed by a posting to HMS Simoom in which he served for four years. A shore based appointment at Portland Sick Quarters was followed by an appointment to Esquimalt Naval Base, British Columbia. In 1875-76 he served on HMS Alert under Captain George Strong Nares as part of the British Arctic Expedition to reach the North Pole. Moss died in 1880 following the loss of his ship, HMS Atlanta, in severe weather after leaving Bermuda. The book is illustrated with colour plates of Moss's paintings and photographs. The author has based much of the text on Moss's own letters and provides contextual detail of the conditions in the Navy and the medical challenges facing a surgeon at the time. The work is supported by a bibliography and detailed notes. 2008. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 92MOSS:359.61(711)
