Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Tar in Fact and Fiction In order to illustrate the personality of the seaman as described in successive periods by his contemporaries, we have ransacked a whole literature, pursuing our re searches through many curious by-paths in order to reach new sources of information. In so doing we have both of us learned a great deal about the sea service of a kind not to be found in any ordinary History of the Navy. Indeed, it may truly be said that no one has yet produced an adequate and wholly satisfactory work on the subject which we mapped out before us. We have enjoyed many advantages, and not least of them to find our labours lightened by the volumes of the Navy Records Society, that admirable library for which we are indebted in the main to Professor Sir John Knox Laughton, r.n., to whose exertions in the field of naval literature every writer on the subject in the future, as well as those for many years past, must owe a deep debt of gratitude. When the work as originally projected had been com pleted, and the proofs read, Mr. Leyland was happily inspired to propose two introductory chapters, in which, by the light of what follows, he has described the place of the sea officer and the seaman in naval history and literature. If this volume is admitted to have any value as a serious contribution to naval history, I feel that it will be mainly because of the inclusion of those chap ters. Mr. Leyland disclaims any direct didactic purpose, but the lesson is there manifest to every one, and it is not only for the youngsters who are entering naval life, but for all who realise the importance to the British Empire of the Navy which protects its communications and guards its heart.

Download or read book The Real Jim Hawkins written by Roland Pietsch and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of readers have enjoyed the adventures of Jim Hawkins, the young protagonist and narrator in Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island, but little is known of the real Jim Hawkins and the thousands of poor boys who went to sea in the eighteenth century to man the ships of the Royal Navy. This groundbreaking new work is a study of the origins, life and culture of the boys of the Georgian navy, not of the upper-class children training to become officers, but of the orphaned, delinquent or just plain adventurous youths whose prospects on land were bleak and miserable. Many had no adult at all taking care of them; others were failed apprentices; many were troublesome youths for whom communities could not provide so that the Navy represented a form of floating workhouse. Some, with restless and roving minds, like Defoes Robinson Crusoe, saw deep sea life as one of adventure, interspersed with raucous periods ashore drinking, singing and womanizing. The author explains how they were recruited; describes the distinctive subculture of the young sailor the dress, hair, tattoos and language and their life and training as servants of captains and officers. More than 5,000 boys were recruited during the Seven Years War alone and without them the Royal Navy could not have fought its wars. This is a fascinating tribute to a forgotten band of sailors.
Download or read book Stockwin s Maritime Miscellany written by Julian Stockwin and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lt Cdr Julian Stockwin shares his love and knowledge of the sea in this entertaining collection of maritime stories and little-known trivia. Featuring nautical facts and feats, including superstitions at sea, the history of animals on the waves - until 1975 when all animals were banned from Royal Navy ships - and how the inventor of the umbrella helped man the British Navy, it is packed with informative tales. Focusing on the glory days of tall ships he explores marine myths and unearths the truth behind commonly held beliefs about the sea, such as whether Lord Nelson's body was really pickled in rum to transport it back to England after his death at Trafalgar. Interspersed throughout are salty sayings showing the modern words and phrases that originate from the mariners of old - 'cut of his jib', 'high and dry', 'the coast is clear', 'first rate' and 'slush fund'. Accompanied by nostalgic black and white line drawings Stockwin's Maritime Miscellany is a charming giftbook guaranteed to appeal to the sailing enthusiast, but also amuse and inform even the staunchest landlubber.
