Book Keeping History Afloat  A Study of the Preservation of the Museum Ship Olympia

Download or read book Keeping History Afloat A Study of the Preservation of the Museum Ship Olympia written by Patrick John Merrigan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic ships are crucial to understanding maritime and naval history. The preservation of working vessels and museum ships of historical significance is necessary to ensure their continued availability for public interaction, education, and appreciation. Olympia is one such museum ship that not only possesses an illustrious naval service record, but also provides the public with diverse opportunities to appreciate and interpret its significant contributions to maritime history. This vessel also has an extensive and unique preservation history as the oldest steel warship that remains afloat in the world. This study comparatively analyzes the many preservation strategies employed on Olympia. More specifically, it seeks to evaluate these strategies with regard to the standardization of historic vessel preservation established by the Secretary of the Interior and the National Park Service in 1990, and to show how this standardization affected and continues to affect the preservation of Olympia in comparison to past efforts. Olympia is an ideal case study for this analysis, as it received both pre-standardized and standardized preservation treatment.

Download or read book Britain s Historic Ships written by Paul Brown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Isles have a long, rich and celebrated seafaring history stretching from the earliest times through the victories of Drake and Nelson, the voyages of discovery of Cabot and Cook and the defence of the realm by vessels of all types in the present century. Much of this history is recorded in literature and in museums but reaches its most tangible form in the large number of historical ships that have been preserved and are continually restored as monuments to a proud past. This lavish book explores 20 of the most celebrated and accessible ships and offers a comprehensive history of each vessel's design, construction, active service and subsequent restoration and preservation. Presented in order of each ship's launch date, each entry is written by the acknowledged expert on a particular vessel, gives full specification details and is sumptuously illustrated with contemporary photographs, historical illustrations and a full set of scale plans. In addition to the featured entries, an appendix presents all of the necessary contact details and opening times where applicable. The appendix also lists (and provides details for) other vessels of historical importance including a small number of working replicas such as the Matthew and the recently commissioned eighteenth-century frigate The Grand Turk, featured in the recent Hornblower television series. Principal vessels include: Mary Rose, HMS Victory, HMS Trincomalee, SS Great Britain, Cutty Sark, RRS Discovery, HMS Warrior, HMS Belfast, HMY Britannia, HMS Alliance, HMS Cavalier, Gypsy Moth IV and HMS Plymouth.
