Today, this service has grown beyond all recognition and has become the envy of many countries. Where once the service was responsible solely for saving lives, it now performs myriad roles from sea-rescue to customs control. Christian Herrou\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREVIVAL OF THE HEBRIDEAN SGOTH\u003cbr\u003eLast seen in the 1920s, this clinkerbuilt boat was used by the fishermen of Port of Ness on the Isle of Lewis. Whilst cruising the Outer Hebrides the skipper of the Breton longliner, Reder Mor, met John Murdo Macleod, the last builder of the double-ended sgoth, who shared with him the story of the type and of the replica recently built in Ness. Serge Le Floch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE BRIXHAM TRAWLERS\u003cbr\u003eThe large ketches of Brixham were among the last of Britain's fishing fleet to work under sail. These remarkable smacks, whose history closely parallels that of Brixham itself, survived both the advent of the engine and the coming of the railway, but were finally defeated by a changing social, educational, and economic infrastructure. Some, however, were converted into yachts and, like the well-known Provident, are sailing to this day. Tom Cunliffe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCHARLES NAPIER HEMY (1841-1917) MARINE ARTIST\u003cbr\u003eThe son of a Newcastle musician, C.N. Hemy spent two years as a deckhand before becoming a professional artist. Having decided to focus on nautical subjects in his painting, he moved to Falmouth, Cornwall, from where he sailed the coasts of southwest England, studying the fishermen and creating canvasses of outstanding, yet moving, realism. Adrian Osler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE FRENCH DAYBOAT TOFINOU\u003cbr\u003eCustom-built on Ile de RT in 1928, this modest dayboat brought unceasing pleasure to the Menuteau family for more than thirty years. In 1986, local boatbuilder Philippe Joubert, together with his brother, Michel, a successful yacht designer, restored the boat and produced a quality fiberglass reproduction. Today, more than 120 Tofinous have been built and are sailing as far away as the Pacific Northwest in America. Pierre-Henri Marin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE RETURN OF THE BALTIMORE CLIPPER\u003cbr\u003eAs privateers during the War of 1812, the Baltimore clippers became famous throughout the western world. With the return of peace, however, they struggled to find a role and disappeared from American waters for more than a century. In 1976, the first of two replicas was launched from the city of Baltimore, Maryland. When she was lost at sea in 1986, the people of Baltimore cried out for a replacement.

However, the twentieth century has witnessed a swift and almost total decline in both the catches and the subsequent processing. The Pilchard Works of Newlyn, now a working museum, is the sole survivor of a once county-wide industry. Keith Harris, Gilles Millot, Jenny Bennett\n\u003cp\u003eERIC TABARLY AND PEN DUICK : A LOVE STORY\u003cbr\u003eLaunched in Scotland in 1898, Yum celebrated her centenary as Pen Duick in Brittany in 1998. Almost as famous as her owner, Eric Tabarly who was lost at sea less than a month after the birthday gathering, Pen Duick?s story is one of survival against the odds. Here, it is followed by a brief appreciation of Eric Tabarly?s talents as a designer, and an evocation from last year?s Fife gatherings. Frantois Chevalier, Jacques Taglang, William Collier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eELISSA - A THREE-MASTED SCOTTISH BARQUE RELAUNCHED IN TEXAS\u003cbr\u003eLaunched in 1877 from the Alexander Hall \u0026amp; Co. yard in Aberdeen as a tramp cargo-carrier, the iron-hulled Elissa ended her commercial career trading contraband goods in the Mediterranean. Thanks to two American maritime specialists who recognized her and knew something of her history, and to the subsequent efforts of a historical foundation in Galveston, Texas, Elissa was saved from the scrapyard, and has been restored to sail. Patricia Bellis Bixel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE THAMES BARGES\u003cbr\u003eThe history, construction, rig, performance, trade, manoeuvring, and on-board life of the unique cargo carriers of southeast England. Flat-bottomed with a large and versatile sprit rig, and lifting leeboards, the Thames barge was perfectly adapted to its environment and trade, and through the nineteenth century was the principal provider of commercial carriage to and from London. Tom Cunliffe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHANGHAI DAYS IN SAN FRANCISCO\u003cbr\u003eBetween 1850 and 1910, the act of forcibly recruiting ocean-going crews from the city of San Francisco involved people from all walks of life, and all levels of society. This profitable, albeit illegal, trade infiltrated the very core of the community and spawned legendary stories and almost mythical personalities. Its demise was only brought about by a worldwide change in economics and technology. Bill Pickelhaupt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE KUNA AND THE ULU\u003cbr\u003eIn the San Blas islands of the Caribbean, the Kuna Indians are among the world?s few remaining indigenous tribal people. Their way of life has evolved and yet they still maintain traditions, customs, and daily structures that have formed their society for centuries. A maritime people, the Kuna spend their days in and around boats, none more important to them than their dugout sailing canoes, known locally as ulus.

Yet the lobster trade, deeply rooted in Maine's coastal culture, is under constant threat from depleting stocks and increasing legislation. The industry is two-hundred years old but faces an uncertain future - can it possibly survive another two centuries? Bill Mayer\n\u003cp\u003eDUNBRODY\u003cbr\u003eLaunched in Quebec in 1845, Dunbrody was one of many ships that carried Irish emigrants to the New World during the Great Famine (1845-1849). One hundred and fifty years later, the people of Ireland are building a replica of this famous, wooden, three-masted barque in New Ross, County Wexford. Aude Hamon-Bates and Anthony McLoughlin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTORMY WEATHER\u003cbr\u003eThe early history of the yacht that, in 1935, won both the transatlantic Newport-to-Bergen race and the Fastnet. Designed by twenty-five-year old Olin Stephens, Stormy Weather would go on to make sailing history and, together with Stephens earlier design, Dorade, heralded the beginning of modern ocean racing. Paul Adamthwaite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE WASHINGTON REPORT OF 1848\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a fatal storm that hit the northeast coast of Scotland in 1848, the British Admiralty sent Captain John Washington RN to Scotland to investigate the tragedy. From that investigation, Washington produced a detailed report that, unlike any before it, was illustrated with many examples of lines taken off fishing boats, and proposed some unprecedented recommendations for future action. His work, both masterly and humane, is frequently quoted but has never been analysed from a maritime perspective. Adrian Osler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE MODELS OF ROBIN BOARD\u003cbr\u003eRobin Board had a passion for small boats and created a unique model collection of working boats that were once found in abundance around the coasts of mainland Britain. Each exquisite model is presented in its own environment and the resulting collection is both impressive and representative. Tom Cunliffe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOSIAH SHACKFORD\u003cbr\u003eIn 1785, a \"small, heavily rigged vessel\" sailed into the port of Paramaribo, Surinam. She hailed from Lorient, France, and was crewed by a lone man: Josiah Shackford. Shackford claimed to have sailed single-handed across the Atlantic...but had he? Thus unfolds one of maritime history's mysteries - was Josiah Shackford's bold adventure fact or fiction?

Similarly, the shipbuilding yards are few and far between and struggle for work. Yet, in Macduff the shipyards are still building several new commercial fishing boats every year, and at least one or two of those are in wood. Peter Rolt\n\u003cp\u003eTHE DRONTHEIMS OF DONEGAL\u003cbr\u003eWhen they consider Ireland's traditional boats, most people think of the west coast - the Galway Hookers, the canvas-hulled currachs. Yet for centuries, the boatbuilders of the north and east of Ireland worked and built clinker-hulled boats of which the Drontheim, or Greencastle yawl, is perhaps the most remarkable. Dnal MacPolin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTAR OF INDIA\u003cbr\u003eShip-rigged and named Euterpe, she was launched from the Isle of Man in 1864, and, like so many of her contemporaries, her history was eventful but not particularly remarkable. Today, however, she is one of the best-known surviving commercial sailing ships - moored at San Diego, it is thought that the renamed Star of India is the oldest, actively sailing barque in the world. Brooks Townes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOLWAY MAID\u003cbr\u003eThe name, William Fife, is one of the most famous in the history of yachting - the designer from Fairlie produced some of the finest yachts the world has ever seen. Solway Maid was one of those yachts and, while she was neither the biggest, nor the fastest, nor the most expensive, she was undoubtedly a classic yacht of unsurpassed elegance...she was further guaranteed fame by being Fife's last masterpiece. Iain McAllister\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE WORK OF WINSLOW HOMER\u003cbr\u003eWhile his peers painted stylized scenes and considered art a noble endeavour, Winslow Homer concentrated on depictions of contemporary life in America - agriculture, city life, the social scene - and saw art as a way of making a living. When he turned his attentions to maritime subjects his talent superceded all who had gone before and, though he had no formal training and, indeed, was self-taught, he became recognized as America's foremost maritime artist. Peter H. Spectre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWINSLOW HOMER IN CULLERCOATS\u003cbr\u003eFor some twenty months, Winslow Homer lived among and painted the fishermen, their wives and daughters, in the village of Cullercoats, northeast England. The visit led to some of his most powerful yet least-known works.

Joel White's creations of timeless beauty, large and small, grace harbours all over the world, and many hundreds of amateur boatbuilders have turned dreams into reality with the guidance of his plans for boats like the Nutshell pram and the Shellback dinghy. Bill Mayher and Maynard Bray\n\u003cp\u003eTHOUGHTS ON THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN\u003cbr\u003eAn extract from an article first published in 1987 in which Joel White revealed some of the aesthetic appreciation of his chosen trade and of his own preferences. Joel White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMR GRATEHEAD'S LIFE-BOAT\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1700s a dramatic shipwreck in the Tyne estuary, Northeast England, led to the development of the first, purpose-built, shore-to-ship life-boat. Its original design and eventual production, however, were both surrounded by controversy and contradictory claims of authorship. Adrian Osler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIN SEARCH OF THE SANDEQ\u003cbr\u003eIn south Sulawesi, Indonesia, there are a number of primitive yet highly efficient working sailing craft that have developed in relative isolation, have survived the tests of time and encroaching western technologies, and are still used to the almost complete exclusion of more modern alternatives. Their days are perhaps numbered and yet their large sails and light construction offer images of rare beauty combined with impressive speeds and skilful working practices. Roger Michael Johnson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eERIK RONNBERG AND HIS SHIP MODELS\u003cbr\u003eErik Ronnberg's models of nineteenth-and early-twentieth-century New England vessels are renowned for both their accuracy and their realism. His reputation has been gained through his uncompromising scholarship that looks beyond the artefacts of the past and seeks to understand the ways of protagonists. Tom Cunliffe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBENJAMIN MENDLOWITZ, MARINE PHOTOGRAPHER\u003cbr\u003eIn the closing decades on this century, Benjamin Mendlowitz, based in Maine, USA, has gained a respected position among the world?s great photographers of classic craft. Like the subjects he chooses, his photographs are masterpieces of simple beauty; their very simplicity, however, belies the patient lengths to which the photographer will go to achieve the right image.

But, under ever more pressure for increased technology and decreased costs, the Canadian government is campaigning for a policy of modernization. Here we are given a glimpse into the self-contained lives and duties of the lightkeepers and ask, how much longer will they work Canada's lighthouses. Helene David\n\u003cp\u003eTHE MEN BEHIND THE RACERS\u003cbr\u003eThroughout this century authors have written of big-class yachting by focussing on the roles of designers, owners and the yachts themselves: few have considered in any detail or depth the part played by professional crews and captains without whom this nineteenth-and early-twentieth century sport could never have happened. The author redresses the balance and offers a particularly personal light. John Leather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAILING CRAFT OF BELIZE\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years the indigenous working boats of the world's maritime people have been in steady decline. Amidst the apparent gloom, however, there is the occasional enclave of survival, where boats not only still exist but also continue to work their traditional trades. One such area of hope is the coast of Belize where numerous lobster sloops and sand lighters still earn a living.

As an art form it emerged in the 1820s but saw its appreciation fade along with the traditional \"hand-to-flukes\" whaling of the nineteenth century.

Furthermore,as fascinating as the vessel herself is the story of her restoration - with the right combination of determined individuals, empowered decision makers, and willing helpers, an ambitious, large-scale rebuild can be achieved despite the odds.

Following his retirement from deepwater Stan became the world's leading expert on chanteys and wrote several definitive books on the daily life and culture of the Jack Tar. In his later years his memories remained as vibrant and immediate as ever and, during the course of two interviews given in 1965 and 1984, he recounted highlights of his life with all the style of the truly great story-teller.

In the UK as in France and elsewhere, this has had a disastrous effect with many a seaworthy, and sometimes historically important, vessel going under the chainsaw in order to remove it from the industry.

Offering only seasonable employment the trade experienced great highs and lows in its long history but finally came to an end in the mid 1980s. The author offers a fascinating insight into the fish, the hunting industry, and the skills and boats employed by the men who chased these gentle giants of the seas.Criustuir MacCarthaigh\n\u003cp\u003eTHE WEST COUNTRY TRADING KETCH, GARLANDSTONE\u003cbr\u003eBetween the late 1800s and early 1900s hundreds of small sailing traders plied the coasts of the British Isles. Today, the fleet has disappeared with only a very few examples surviving to be restored or preserved.

The expedition would ultimately circumnavigate and chart New Zealand, chart the East Coast of Australia and return to England with a collection of some 30,000 plants and 10,000 animals. In 1993 HM Bark Endeavour was launched in Fremantle, Western Australia. Recognized as one of the world's most accurate working replicas she now sails with professional and amateur crews offering a glimpse of eighteenth-century seafaring life. The author charts the history of the original ship, the building of her replica, and the experience of life on board. Jenny Bennett\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePOMMERN AND THE ALAND FLEET\u003cbr\u003eUnique in maritime societies the people of ?land not only survived the transition from wooden sailing-ship fleets to steam shipping but they did so by staying in sail and capitalizing on falling prices, transforming their economy from meagre subsistence levels to unimagined wealth and prosperity. Today the Aland islands are still prospering through shipping and ship management. A captivating tale of beating the odds, in which some of the major players won fame and fortune all over the world, the name of Erikson has become particularly renowned - and typical of Erikson's fleet was Pommern, today docked at Mariehamn as the world's only four-masted barque preserved in authentic original condition.

HUNLEY\u003cbr\u003eWhile experiments had been made with underwater craft for at least 200 years it was not until the American Civil War that an enemy ship was successfully sunk by a submarine. The price was high, however, and whilst the target was destroyed so, too, was the submarine. In the summer of 1995, more than a century after her sinking, her remains were discovered off Charleston, intact and undisturbed. The author tells a very human story of eccentric science, extraordinary courage, and unresolved history. Brooks Townes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE ALL-AMERICAN CATBOAT\u003cbr\u003eThe catboat is one of the most distinctive of America's small working boats. Once it was to be found all over the northeast shores of the country but, as with so many commercial sailers, when mechanical power was introduced the catboat faded into obscurity and some thought it had gone forever. Nevertheless, this humble workaday craft has proven itself to be a survivor and for the last fifty years has experienced a slow but steady increase in popularity among pleasure sailors all along the Eastern Seaboard and beyond.

Today more and more eighteenth and nineteenth artists are gaining international, though posthumous, recognition. However, as the author reveals, Samuel Walters gained such acknowledgement within his own lifetime not merely by creating fine paintings but also by adopting the latest in printing technology and mass-producing many of his works as calling cards or affordable prints to be collected.

The boats of the twenty-first century are far removed from those of the 1800s, and are fitted with efficient engines, state-of-the-art searching equipment, and saftey features once unimagined.

Less familiar, however, are the small, planked, sailing boats built and used by the Native Americans of the northern Great Lakes.
