Excerpt: ...some wooded heights, in front of which there is a light-coloured mansion called Strady. U""centsl/y, 86. Llanelly Church is a square-towered stone building in the centre of the town, and surrounded by stacks of engine-housechimneys and smoke. It stands low, and is backed at the dis ' tance of half a mile by high land. It is half a mile from the lower Docks, and three-quarters of a mile from the upper Docks and the Custom House for the county and creeks of Caermarthen. Piers, The western Pier of the port of Llanelly is nearly half a mile long, and projects in a S. W. direction; 800 feet of its inner end being of masonry, and containing the Railway Dock and a series Dav/r-Y of loading-stages, alongside of which there are 14 feet water at ordinary springs, and 8 feet at the neaps: the ground is hard, but smooth. The outer part of the pier is composed of copper slag, with mooring-rings inserted along the eastern face; and and from its outer termination a ballast-bank, trending a little more southerly, has been judiciously deposited, so as to form a break-water for 2 cables' lengths farther out, and having on its extreme point a conspicuous barrel-post, which bears from the Pembrey post S. E. Q E. 3 miles, and from Whiteford barrel-post E. S. E. E. 3-, miles. This breakwater affords excellent shelter to a fine flat of mud mixed with sand, on which vessels may take the ground without any risk from the swell, and over which there are 21 feet water in ordinary springs, and 12 at the neaps; but it is un-covered between 4 hours ebb and 2 hours flood. A reservoir of ' back-water helps to scour the channel. To the eastward of the above dock there is another jetty of slag, extending about 900 feet to the westward, als

Download or read book Bristol Channel Shipping Remembered written by Chris Collard and published by Tempus Pub Limited. This book was released on 2002 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its heyday the Bristol Channel was a thriving estuary where ships of all descriptions were to be seen, ranging from elegant passenger and cargo liners to the utilitarian tugs and dredgers, each one fufilling its own essential function in pursuit of the continuing flow of commerce. The post-war years, however, brought about a slow but steady decline, which accelerated during the 1960s and has left the Channel a shadow of its former self.During this period ships themselves were changing and the variety of vessels seen in the Channel was also changing. Steam was rapidly being replaced by diesel, container vessels were slowly taking over from the general cargo ship and larger specialised vessels were rapidly coming in to service.Bristol Channel Shipping Remembered is a nostalgic tour of the Bristol Channel, from Bristol down to its westerly limits and then eastwards along the coast of South Wales to Newport, and shows us some of these once familiar scenes that have become little more than just memories of this great waterway.

Download or read book Pilot Cutters Under Sail written by Tom Cunliffe and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pilot cutters that operated around the coasts of northern Europe until the First World War were amongst the most seaworthy and beautiful craft of their size ever built, while the small number that have survived have inspired yacht designers, sailors and traditional craft enthusiasts over the last hundred years.??Even in their day they possessed a charisma unlike any other working craft; their speed and close-windedness, their strength and seaworthiness, fused together into a hull and rig of particular elegance, all to guide the mariner through the rough and tortuous waters of the European seaboard, bought them an enviable reputation.??This new book is both a tribute to and a minutely researched history of these remarkable vessels. The author, perhaps the most experienced sailor of the type, describes the ships themselves, their masters and crews, and the skills they needed for the competitive and dangerous work of pilotage. He explains the differences between the craft of disparate coasts Ð of the Scilly Isles and the Bristol Channel, of northern France, and the wild coastline of Norway Ð and weaves into the history of their development the stories of the men who sailed them.??Written to complement the recent histories of pilot schooners and open boat pilotage, edited and written by the author, this book will be an essential addition to the libraries of historians and enthusiasts of traditional boats.??As seen in the Wiltshire Times.
