AUSTRALIA II 12-Meter America's Cup Winner Ship Model 1983 (80in)

AUSTRALIA II 12-Meter America's Cup Winner Ship Model 1983 (80in)


AUSTRALIA II 12-Meter America's Cup Winner Ship Model 1983 (80in) Australia II ended the longest winning streak in yacht racing by winning the America's Cup 1983. Designed by Ben Lexcen, built by Stephan Ward, owned by Alan Bond and helmed by John Bertrand, the Australia II featured an innovative winged keel design developed by Lexcen. This helped to make it very fast and maneuverable in many conditions, and was the most notable and controversial design feature of the boat. During the summer of 1983, as selection trials took place for the Cup defense that autumn, it was unclear whether the keel design was legal within the strict rules governing the 12-metre class. Questions also surrounded the Dutch involvement in the design of the keel, which under the rules had to be designed by an Australian. The keel design was eventually confirmed as legal while the keel origin controversy remains unanswered. Despite being the first 12-meter to sport the new design, Australia II was not the first boat to have a winged keel, though her success did much to make the concept popular. Also helping the Australians was new sail technology, finally equaling or exceeding that of the Americans. Further, Bertrand made sure he and his crew was trained and refined to execute at the highest levels despite the pressure of this historical match up. America's Cup: Australia II, bearing sail number KA6, represented the Royal Perth Yacht Club of Australia in its September 1983 challenge for the America's Cup. The defender, the New York Yacht Club, had held the cup since 1851, dominating challengers and sustaining the longest winning streak in sport. The Australia II, skippered by John Bertrand, faced Dennis Conner sailing the 12-meter Liberty in the ocean off Newport, Rhode Island. Australia II came from behind to prevail 4 races to 3

Images of the Pacific Rim : Australia and California, 1850-1935

Images of the Pacific Rim : Australia and California, 1850-1935


Australia and California have shared aesthetic ideas through imported popular imagery for nearly two hundred years. From gold rush photography to Spanish-style houses, Images of the Pacific Rim tells the fascinating story of aesthetic exchange between two 'cultures on the periphery'. The absorption of images into the everyday life of these 'new' Western societies, made possible by the development of mechanical processes of production, constructed distinctive cultural iconographies and helped to create a sense of place based upon a shared ocean and climate. Through photography, graphic art, architecture, and the ubiquitous eucalyptus, this book reveals the source elements of what became a 'Pacific Rim' aesthetic.Erika Esau is a native Californian who spent more than a decade teaching art history--including the history of Australian art--at the Australian National University, Canberra. Her writings on Australian art and culture include the Blue Guide Australia (with George Boeck) and E.O. Hoppé's Australia (with Graham Howe). Images of the Pacific Rim is part of the four-book series Australian Studies in Art and Art Theory and is published with the assistance of the Getty Foundation and the Nelson Meers Foundation.

Fighting Ships 1850-1950

Fighting Ships 1850-1950


Fighting Ships 1850-1950 presents a stunning collection of 150 large-scale paintings, drawings, photographs and ship plans that tell the story of naval warfare from the first iron and steam warships to the deadly U-boats and aircraft carriers of the Second World War. Over these 100 years, the most significant naval engagements are dramatically depicted in striking detail - the bombardment of Sveaborg during the Crimean war, the battles of Tsushima and Jutland, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, the evacuation of Dunkirk and the D-Day landings, as well as the Japanese surrender - revealing the glory and exhilaration of the last great age of marine warfare. Arranged chronologically, the ships illustrated include HMS Warrior, the first iron-hulled, heavily armoured warship; the mighty HMS Dreadnought; the battleship Aurora which ignited the Russian revolution; the Graf Spee, under attack on the River Plate; the formidable German battle cruiser Bismarck; the British aircraft carriers HMS Argus and Illustrious, and the Japanese Akagi, amongst many others. This remarkable collection not only showcases some of the greatest naval artists of the period, including John Wilson Carmichael, Gustave Bourgain, McClelland Barclay, Kobayashi Kiyochika, William Lionel Wyllie, and the official British war artist Richard Eurich, but also features powerful photographs, often taken by the sailors themselves. Each image is accompanied by Sam Willis's expert commentary, shedding light on the key naval conflicts of the era, the breathtaking complexity of the modern warship - as well as life and death on board ship for the ordinary sailor.

Life on a Famine Ship: A Journal of the Irish Famine 1845-1850

Life on a Famine Ship: A Journal of the Irish Famine 1845-1850


Here, in words and pictures--including imaginative pop-up illustrations--is the story of the Irish potato famine of the 1840s, and the resulting hardship that caused widespread death and eventual emigration of thousands of Irish from their homeland. Seeking a better life, those who could make the journey fled to America, Canada, England, Australia, and New Zealand. This book's imaginative use of paper engineering shows household interiors in an Irish country village, a typical sailing ship that carried Irish from their homeland, and other fascinating details that illustrate nineteenth-century Irish life. The story is told from the point of view of Michael O'Connor, a nine-year-old boy who, with his family, endures many hardships before arriving in America. This volume is designed in a form to suggest Michael's scrapbook. It's filled with facts and true-to-life details of the O'Connor family's journey on the famine ship Dunbrody. A feature at the end of the book gives brief biographical sketches of many famous Americans of Irish background. Color illustrations on every page.

Old American Houses And How To Restore Them - 1700-1850

Old American Houses And How To Restore Them - 1700-1850


by HENRY LIONEL WILLIAMS and OTTALIE K. WILLIAMS. We believe That it is quite possible to create a modern, up-to-date home in a small house belonging to another age, blending with the quiet simplicity of old time living the advantages of present-day labor-saving facilities, materials, and methods. That living in an old-time house does not necessarily connote an old fashioned way of life, with its accompaniments of drudgery and dirt. And it does offer something besides the hard impersonality of plate glass, the clinical asepsis of white enamel, the cacophony of clanging tin cupboards, and hard lines that make a fetish of function at the price of restful beauty and elevate the machine product above the manual skills of the craftsman who put something of himself in everything he made. That in this feverish age, when change is so often mistaken for progress, we would all do well to consider the advantages of a lessened tempo in our hours of relaxation. A less challenging atmosphere than that which the modernists offer is a step in the right direction. In our small towns, villages, and rural countrysides we can still find these quiet backwaters small worlds where harried human existence gives way to more natural living, and people have time to be neighbors instead of competitors in an economic race. There the quiet, unostentatious small house is the symbol and the core of a way of life that is human a far cry from the materialistic impersonality of the modern functional cage that is the dream of those who forget that senti ment is as important as reason in a full and rounded life. Preface buying of a little old house to make into a home is, for - 1L the understanding, a sentimental adventure that can bring rich rewards. But to achieve the aim of making it livable, in the twentieth century sense, without destroying its character and rubbing off the mellow bloom of age, calls for far more knowledge and determi nation than we may realize at first. More often than not, this job of intelligent remodeling is coupled with the need for removing the mistakes of others and restoring features that have been altered or eliminated by those who did not value the things that give these early houses their distinctive charm. Both of these matters require attention soon after the house is bought. The process of acquiring a house is, therefore, not the end but the beginning of a venture that may bring years of satisfaction and happiness, or disappointment and regrets. The decision lies in the manner in which the restoration and adapta tions are carried out. These are matters in which most people need help, for intelligence is no valid substitute for experience, and enthu siasm is no sure guide. The purpose of this book is to answer some of the questions which every new owner of an old house must sometime ask to reveal the skill and care which our forefathers put into the little houses that became the first American homes and to show how their character, developed and sometimes marred by time and human activity, can be preserved or revived. If you are one of those who seek, but have not yet found, one of these small houses built a century and a half or two centuries ago, there is encouragement in knowing how much can be done to re-capture the spirit of the past and make it a splendid part of life today. ..

The Political Crisis Of The 1850's By Michael Holt

The Political Crisis Of The 1850's By Michael Holt


Holt sees the Civil War as representing a breakdown in America's democratic political process, more specifically the Second Party System of Whigs and Democrats. He demonstrates this system's success, beginning in the 1820s and 1830s, in confining sectional disputes safely within the political arena. With the breakdown of vital two-party competition in the 1850s, sectional issues increasingly took on ideological dimension, causing, Americans North and South to see in them dangerous threats to cherished republican institutions. No longer manageable within the arena of politics, sectional differences had to be resolved with in the arena of battle.The Political Crisis of the 1850s offers a clearly written account of politics (state and federal), sectionalism, race, and slavery from the 1820s through to the Civil War, brilliantly combining the behavioral and ideological approaches to political history.

Ellenvale Gold


It is the time of Australia's harsh rogue-filled goldrush of the 1850s when Miss Penelope Worthington suddenly finds herself orphaned, isolated and alone. With a large sheep station to run single-handedly, she has little option but to enlist the aid of a mysterious, but sinister stranger. But who is the more treacherous? Gus-the scruffy, trespassing, ex-convict who co-incidentally shows up looking for work just when she desperately needs a farmhand or Rupert-the handsome, wealthy neighbour who would willingly marry her at the drop of a hat and solve her apparent dilemma? Repeatedly, her faith is tested as she faces the unforgiving elements, deceit, lies and uncertainty. But where and how will it all end? But...is it the end? Will vengeance return or will Penny's faith prevail? Amanda Deed is the award winning author of The Game, which was awarded the CALEB Fiction Prize in 2010.

Perils of the Atlantic: Steamship Disasters, 1850 to the Present

Perils of the Atlantic: Steamship Disasters, 1850 to the Present


"Flayhart delivers a gripping chronicle of mishap and mayhem . . . filled with danger and heroism and rich with detail."—Sea PowerA colorful and deadly history of ocean liner disasters from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Perils of the Atlantic is a chronicle of the most frightening episodes in the maritime history of the North Atlantic. From 1850 to the present day, the Atlantic has been home to hundreds of ocean liners and cruise ships, each more lavish than the last...all of them symbols of wealth and luxury. Perhaps this is why readers have always been fascinated by the lives of these ships—and their deaths. Many of us know the stories of the Titanic and the Lusitania. Both tragedies caused tremendous loss of life, even as they made the ships immortal. But there are many little-known accounts of extraordinary survivals at sea, such as the Inman and International liner City of Chicago that jammed her bow into an Irish peninsula in 1892 but stayed afloat long enough for all to be rescued, or the City of Richmond that survived a dangerous fire in 1891, and a year earlier the City of Paris, whose starboard engine exploded at full speed in the mid-Atlantic and yet miraculously still made port. Often such tales are forgotten even if the ship sank: In 1898 the Holland-America liner Veendam hit a submerged wreck and sank at sea, but all lives were saved—so this vessel's dramatic story seemed less important in maritime history than incidents involving human loss. As recently as 2000, the Sea Breeze I sank off the East Coast of the United States while on a positioning voyage, but all her crew members were rescued in a heroic effort by U.S. Coast Guard helicopters. These stories and many others are dramatic, and acclaimed maritime scholar William Flayhart has spent much of the last forty years in search of material from which to create colorful narratives. 26 illustrations
