Excerpt: ... we must consider the outdoor arrangements a model of the consummate generalship of our worthy hostess to clip the "Flyer's" wings. On Thursday morning the match began between the Squadron and the Melbourne Club, of which we give the extract of the Melbourne paper. "THE SQUADRON V. THE M.C.C. "This match, between the officers of the squadron "and a team of our best amateur cricketers, proved a "very brilliant affair. There was a large gathering of "the public on the ground, at one time not less than "3,000, and the marquee on the enclosure was well "filled with ladies, whose presence and beauty gave "additional picturesqueness to the handsome ground "the whole day. His Excellency the Governor, with "Lady Manners Sutton and family, arrived about three "o'clock in the afternoon, and stayed several hours "on the ground. Admiral Hornby, with Captain "Hopkins, of the 'Liverpool, ' and Captain Gibson, "of the 'Liffey, ' were present during nearly the "whole of the match, in which they, as well as all "the naval officers on the ground, appeared to take "considerable interest. The excellent band of the " Liffey' discoursed sweet and gentle music, which "was extremely pleasant to the ear, and a remark "able contrast to the brass bands often stationed "on the ground, whose clamour so near to the "pavilion is occasionally so loud as to compel spec"tators to wish them a little further away. The "M.C.C. captain (Mr. Handfield) waived the right "to play professionals--an act of grace on their part, "but certainly not more than the strongest club in "the Southern Hemisphere ought to have done to a "team of sailors, who could not, under the circum"stances, be otherwise than out of practice.

Book Britannia s Navy on the West Coast of North America  1812 1914

This book was released on 2016 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Gough's] research...has been thorough, his presentation is scholarly, and his case fully sustained."--The Times Literary Supplement The influence of the Royal Navy on the development of British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest was both effective and extensive. Yet all too frequently, its impact has been ignored by historians, who instead focus on the influence of explorers, fur traders, settlers, and railway builders. In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of his classic 1972 work, naval historian Barry Gough examines the contest for the Columbia country during the War of 1812, the 1844 British response to President Polk's manifest destiny and cries of "Fifty-four forty or fight," the gold-rush invasion of 30, 000 outsiders, and the jurisdictional dispute in the San Juan Islands that spawned the Pig War. The author looks at the Esquimalt-based fleet in the decade before British Columbia joined Canada and the Navy's relationship with coastal First Nation over the five decades that preceded the Great War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the transformation of the United States Navy as a fighting organization that took place on the North Atlantic Station between 1874 and 1897. At the beginning of this period, the warships assigned to this station were collectively administered by a rear-admiral, but were operationally deployed as individual units, each of whose actions were directed by their captains. By 1897 the North Atlantic, or “Home” Squadron as it was known, was a group of warships constituting a protean battle fleet – that is, an organized body moving and fighting in close-order, which meant that the actions of the captains were directed by a commanding admiral. The process of the development of an American battle fleet resulted in the construction of a new organizational identity for the North Atlantic Squadron. This process was as critical as the eventual outcome. It was not linear, but one in which progress in critical areas was modulated by conflicting demands that caused distraction. From 1874-1888, exercises in fleet tactics under steam were carried out sporadically utilizing existing wooden cruising vessels. From 1889-1894, the last wooden cruisers were decommissioned and the Squadron consisted entirely of new steel warships. Ad-hoc concentrations of vessels for purposes besides exercise and training retarded the continued development of doctrine and tactics necessary for a multi-ship fighting capability during this time. However, much work was done to develop a concept of multi-ship operations. From 1895-1897, the identity of the North Atlantic Squadron as a combat unit solidified. Tactical exercises were held that had specific offensive and defensive wartime applications. These exercises were necessary to develop a combat capability. The results of this study demonstrate that the United States government had an interest in developing an offensive naval combat capability as early as the 1870’s. Based on the record of the North Atlantic Squadron, it is argued that imperial aspirations, in the sense of possessing a capability to restrict the actions of other great powers in the Caribbean region, existed prior to the War of 1898. However, the process of change often resulted in the appearance of capability without the rigorous exercise necessary to possess it.
