Download or read book Won for the Fleet written by Fitzhugh Green and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Won for the Fleet: A Story of Annapolis Annapolis is the most remarkable institution of its kind in the world. The education it provides is essentially engineering: marine and civil, electrical and mechanical, finally naval. Also no midshipman escapes instruction, even proficiency, in less than three forms of athletics. The Naval Academy is unique in two distinct ways: By intensity of the traditional class spirit is begun that unparalleled esprit dc corps which makes our Navy the greatest in the world. By the summer cruises is provided a species of education no youth should reach manhood without. Won for the Fleet is a tale of two boys, one physically brutal, the other physically deficient. Four years at Annapolis moulds and forges, tempers and anneals, their two characters. The bully is refined; the weakling fibred. False standards of both are overthrown. From two awkward young animals are made two men - two gentlemen. From two instinctive enemies are made two fast friends. It is a tale of adventure and vicissitude, true to the middie's life, by one who has lived and loved it! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Fleet written by Former Lecturer in New Testament Studies John Ashton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fleet: Its River, Prison and Marriages This book requires none, except a mere statement of its scheme. Time has wrought such changes in this land of ours, and especially in its vast Metropolis, "The Modern Babylon," that the old land-marks are gradually being effaced - and in a few generations would almost be forgotten, were it not that some one noted them, and left their traces for future perusal. All have some little tale to tell; even this little River Fleet, which with its Prison, and its Marriages - are things utterly of the past, entirely swept away, and impossible to resuscitate, except by such a record as this book. I have endeavoured, by searching all available sources of information, to write a trustworthy history of my subject - and, at the same time, make it a pleasant book for the general reader. If I have succeeded in my aim, thanks are due, and must be given, to W. H. Overall, Esq., F.S.A., and Charles Welch, Esq., Librarians to the Corporation of the City of London, whose friendship, and kindness, have enabled me to complete my pleasant task.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the American Fleet From the Atlantic to the Pacific The voyage made by the United States Atlantic Fleet in 1907-8, as I have chronicled it in this volume, is destined to be an event which will figure prominently, not only in the history of the United States but in the history of the world. I have, therefore, exerted every energy toward securing such data as will make this volume a work to which reference may be made in years to come with the view of eliminating as far as possible the fear of conveying error to the reader. The mission of our navy; in time of peace, is one of great importance; and it has done more by its friendly visits to foreign countries to preserve international harmony than has the spilling of all the blood recorded in the pages of the world's history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whispers From the Fleet Encouraged by the indulgent attitude of my brother officers towards my late effort, in conjunction with the kind comments of the Press; I have ventured to bring out this second, and generally enlarged edition of " Whispers from the Fleet." The chief additions comprise a " Chapter Concerning Midshipmen," and an increase to the " Remarks on Steam Evolutions," and as I have been questioned, more than once, why there was but little mention of Gunnery in my first volume, there will now be found a few pages set apart for some "Hints" on that subject by Lieutenant H. Stirling Lecky of this ship, -as being no expert in that most important branch, I have not dared to plunge unsupported into an element in which I should be straightway choked by the knowledge and utterances of many competent authorities, and the shoemaker should stick to his last. Nevertheless whilst on the above topic, I can make the perhaps needless assertion, that the Navy fully recognizes that the Art of Gunnery is now far more vital to the Fleet than in former times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Our Navy Is Run: A Description of Life in the King's Fleet In these days when so much interest is taken in those who guard our shores, protect our very daily bread as it is borne over the ocean from far distant lands, and safeguard the oversea empire - India and the numerous colonies, big and small there is, I hope, little explanation necessary to justify a modest volume on "How our, Navy is Run." There are many books describing the King's, fleet, its strength, the types of ships which are ever patrolling the world's ocean highways, and of the manner in which these wonderful fighting machines are constructed. Historians have traced its story back to the birth of British sea power in the days of King Alfred, and chronicled its glorious triumphs and, less numerous far, its humiliations.

Download or read book Reminiscences of the Baltic Fleet of 1855 Classic Reprint written by William Gerard Don and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Baltic Fleet of 1855 The following reminiscences have been compiled from a Journal kept by me while serving in the Baltic Fleet, supplemented by recollections which had not, and never can fade from my memory. While mixing in other scenes, during thirty years of military service in various parts of the world, the very existence of the Journal (which was carefully preserved by my dear mother) had almost passed from my mind. Yet, in perusing it, to recast the following summary, most of the events recorded came back with surprising clearness, not merely in the main, but even in detail - proving, indeed, that youthful impressions are stamped on the memory with a permanence withheld from those of riper years. The personal incidents here given are faithfully recorded; while those more hearsay are of a most trustworthy kind. For, being in the Flagship, I always had information at first hand, through my good friend Paymaster Munday, Secretary to the Admiral; as well as access to official charts, plans, and lists, and so had the best knowledge alike of our own and the French Squadron, as of Russian ships, forts, and fortresses.
