Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Navy Department: For the Year 1897 On the Pacific Coast there is but one dock Of sufficient size to dock a modern battle ship. This is on Puget Sound, 900 miles from San Fran cisco. Access to it is through a narrow channel 20 miles wide, one side of which is in possession of a foreign country. This lack of docking facilities should be remedied at the earliest possible moment. The necessity is imperative. The Department, therefore, appointed in August last a Special board to examine the matter, and the valuable report made by it will be forwarded to Con gress as soon as it meets. This board reports that timber docks, although less expensive than stone or concrete, are not durable. A plan for the location of additional Government docks, recommended by this board as a result Of its investigations, is comprehensive and should be substantially carried out. When completed, it will give the necessary facilities demanded by the extensive coast line of our country. There are seven strategic divisions of our coast: First, from the Bay Of Fundy to Cape Cod; second, from Cape Cod to Sandy Hook; third, from Sandy Hook to Cape Henry; fourth, from Cape Henry to Cape Sable; fifth, the coast line bordering on the Gulf of Mexico; sixth, the southern portion Of the Pacific coast, and seventh, the northern por tion. There should be docks and repair shops in each division, and these should be placed, as far as possible, at great commercial and industrial centers, not only because workmen and material can be Obtained more readily and more reasonably at such points, but also because such points require and will have, from their importance to the country, a strong land defense; and, as the docks also require a strong defense, one set of fortifications will cover both civil and mili tary property. In the great commercial centers also, from which ply large trans-ocean steamers, the Government will be able to derive some revenue from accommodating them in its docks.

Download or read book Hong Kong Invaded A Ninety Seven Nightmare written by Gillian Bickley and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No. It is not what you think. The year is 1897, not 1997. This is a fictional account of Hong Kong being invaded by the combined forces of France and Russia. This visionary novel by an anonymous author has been forgotten for a hundred years. Yet when published as The Back Door during the negotiations between Imperial China and Great Britain over the lease of the New Territories, the story aroused serious British fears about the possibility of defending Hong Kong against attack. Copies were then to be found on the desks of British officials in London. Matthew Nathan, who became Governor in 1904, was advised to read the book. But it was not only in 1897 that the book was accurate in its observations on military tactics. There are many intriguing parallels with the Christmas 1941 invasion by the Japanese and the role of the Hong Kong Volunteers at that time. Three strategically vulnerable locations identified in The Back Door were considered for attack in 1941. Had the Japanese read this fictional battle when plotting their manoeuvres? If so, The Back Door not only taught one way to defend Hong Kong, but also another to attack it.
