Abstract

This book is a collection of sixty interviews with key figures in British shipbuilding, ship repair, and marine engine-building industries across the United Kingdom, plus government and civil service members in the sector from the 1960s to the 1980s. The aim of the project is to understand the economic, social, and political environment of the shipping industry from the perspective of those who worked in it. The interviews place the twentieth century decline of British shipbuilding into a firm context. The topics covered include international competition (a recurring, pertinent theme); labour difficulties; industry modernisation; the attitude of shipowners; the strong belief in traditional methods which kept many of those in the industry from recognising the cheaper, faster, and better quality work taking place overseas and leaving Britain behind; ship production and production control; the postwar boom; shipyard overcrowding; the decline of the domestic industry in favour of the international; marketing weaknesses; trade disputes and trade unions; and nationalisation and privatisation concerns. Opinions and viewpoints often conflict, particularly between the perspectives of those working within the industry and the civil servants working outside of it, but the interviews are presented as a unit, and the reader is encouraged to draw their own conclusion. The result is a unique historical archive that offers a multitude of firsthand perspectives on the British shipping decline, open to interpretation by historians and future researchers. It includes a preface, introduction, and select bibliography. The interviews are grouped together by location and role.

Abstract

Written by an award-winning naval architecture author and former vice-president of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), the fifth edition of Introduction to Naval Architecture has been fully updated to take in advances in the field and is ideal both for those approaching the subject for the first time and those looking to update or refresh their knowledge on areas outside of their direct expertise. This book provides a broad appreciation of the science and art of naval architecture, explaining the subject in physical rather than in mathematical terms.

Abstract

Les récentes découvertes d’épaves de barges fluviales gallo-romaines à Lyon (place Tolozan et Parc Saint-Georges) et à Arles, auxquels s’ajoutent les épaves de Chalon-sur-Saône, ont non seulement attiré l’attention sur la batellerie fluviale et lacustre gallo-romaine mais aussi porté au premier plan des recherches le bassin rhodanien et le midi de la Gaule jusque-là peu présent ou même totalement absent du débat. Or les particularités de ces épaves renouvellent fondamentalement le sujet en montrant l’existence d’une tradition régionale « Rhône-Saône » mettant en lumière des influences maritimes méditerranéennes. Dès lors, il devenait intéressant de confronter ces recherches, intéressant le bassin fluvial Rhône-Saône et le midi de la Gaule, à celles menées sur l’Europe du Nord qui avaient monopolisé le débat sur la construction navale gallo-romaine. À partir de données provenant de l’arc rhénan (Allemagne, Pays- Bas) et du lac de Neuchâtel (Suisse), ces recherches avaient jusqu’alors mis en évidence l’existence des seules groupes régionaux « Rhénan » et « Alpin ». Il est aussi apparu enrichissant d’élargir le sujet de cet ouvrage à d’autres épaves, comme l’épave lagunaire de la Conque des Salins (étang de Thau, Hérault), encore peu connue, et l’épave du chaland de la Ljubljanica (Slovénie), de découverte plus ancienne, dont les caractéristiques s’inscrivent dans le cadre de la nouvelle problématique définie autour des notions de pratiques régionales et d’influences maritimes méditerranéennes. C’est, au total, à un renouvellement complet du panorama de la construction navale et de la batellerie gallo-romaine que nous invite cet ouvrage. Ce dernier, richement illustré, comporte de nombreuses contributions de spécialistes français et étrangers qui remettent au premier plan les études sur la batellerie antique et montrent l’intérêt de ces recherches en un domaine trop souvent considéré comme mineur.
