Book Description
My Darling Wreck on arkeologinen mocktail ja Oulusta vuonna 2019 löydetyn Hahtiperän hylyn biofiktio. Tuhannen ja yhden männyn, luovuuden, omaelämäkerran, akateemisen kritiikin, mystisen fiktion ja oudon realismin yhdistelmä. Se on emotionaalinen ja lyyrinen tutkimusmatka akateemisen maailman steriilin horisontin taakse. Tarina vanhasta, nimettömästä hylystä. Runollinen selviytymistarina ja humoristisesti kuvitettu rakkauskirje mätänevälle muusalle - 300 vuotta vanhalle limisauma-alukselle. "19.6.2023 I went through my process diary entries. All of a sudden I noticed, that my emotions towards you followed a funny pattern. First there was a sudden burst of feelings, mixed feelings. A crush." MY DARLING WRECK is an extraordinary mocktail of archaeology. It is a biofiction of a wreck. A fusion of a thousand and one pine trees, creativity, autobiography, academic critique, mystic fiction and weird realism. It is an emotional and lyrical expedition beyond the sterile horizon of academia. It is a tale of an old, nameless wreck. A poetic survival story and a humorously illustrated love letter to a rotting muse - a 300-year old clinker built vessel discovered from Oulu, Northern Finland. It is a tar-scented testimonial of insecurity, taste of a touch and object attachment. "At the dawn of all these abstracts, articles, figures, affiliations and tables, what is left is the process. The rollercoaster of emotions, unlimited enthusiasm for that magical old wreck. I call it curiosity." This essayistic work can be regarded as fact or fiction, weird realism, autoethnography or an uncontrollable stream of consciousness. It displays creative methods, which can aid in a research process. In cultural heritage work creative verbal and pictorial output serves as a form of nonintrusive, creative conservation. The book plumbs the therapeutic value of a rotting vessel. This book asks, why don't we talk more about our feelings, aren't they the roots and must-have for curiosity and inspiration?

Cayman's 1794 Wreck of the Ten Sail
Author: Margaret E. Leshikar-Denton
Publisher: University Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817359656
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
The greatest shipwreck disaster in the history of the Cayman Islands The story has been passed through generations for more than two centuries. Details vary depending on who is doing the telling, but all refer to this momentous maritime event as the Wreck of the Ten Sail. Sometimes misunderstood as the loss of a single ship, it was in fact the wreck of ten vessels at once, comprising one of the most dramatic maritime disasters in all of Caribbean naval history. Surviving historical documents and the remains of the wrecked ships in the sea confirm that the narrative is more than folklore. It is a legend based on a historical event in which HMS Convert, formerly L’Inconstante, a recent prize from the French, and 9 of her 58-ship merchant convoy sailing from Jamaica to Britain, wrecked on the jagged eastern reefs of Grand Cayman in 1794. The incident has historical significance far beyond the boundaries of the Cayman Islands. It is tied to British and French history during the French Revolution, when these and other European nations were competing for military and commercial dominance around the globe. The Wreck of the Ten Sail attests to the worldwide distribution of European war and trade at the close of the eighteenth century. In Cayman’s 1794 Wreck of the Ten Sail: Peace, War, and Peril in the Caribbean, Margaret E. Leshikar-Denton focuses on the ships, the people, and the wreck itself to define their place in Caymanian, Caribbean, and European history. This well-researched volume weaves together rich oral folklore accounts, invaluable supporting documents found in archives in the United Kingdom, Jamaica, and France, and tangible evidence of the disaster from archaeological sites on the reefs of the East End.

Frank Leslie's Pleasant Hours
From Burma with Love
Author: Stephen W. Reiss
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449066569
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 667
Book Description
Irv and Mary Reiss (aka Dad and Mom) wrote this book as two letters per day for fifteen months from late 1943 through March 1945. Friends and relatives added more letters to bring the total to nearly 1,000. Virtually all of their letters ended with "I love you very very much" and "I miss you very very much." It's easy to empathize with their frustrations and anxieties about being separated and worried, especially with the birth and nurturing of their first child Stephen (aka me) in June 1944. This book title of From Burma With Love is an understatement. Irv Reiss served in the US Army from June 27, 1941 until September 17, 1945 for a total of 4 years, 2 months, and 20 days. Foreign service in India and Burma (Myanmar) was 1 year, 1 month, and 23 days. The foreign service in Burma was very intense and is the heart of this book -- hence the name, From Burma With Love. Irv was a labor officer along the Ledo Road from August 28, 1944 until December 11, 1944. His job was to hire and feed and pay several thousand native laborers (and a few elephants) to help build that road from Ledo, India to Mongyu, Burma. Read his letter of October 7, 1944.

The Wrecks of HM Frigates Assurance (1753) and Pomone (1811)
Author: John Bingeman
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1789256380
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
With the thought of treasure, Isle of Wight islander, Derek Williams researched ancient local wreck records. Top of his extensive wreck list was the 40-gun frigate Assurance lost in 1753 while returning from Jamaica with Governor Trelawny on board, whose story possibly inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Treasure Island. Derek’s first dive at the western point of the Isle of Wight called “The Needles” put him on top of cannons, various wreckage and Spanish-American “Pieces of Eight”, all scattered at the foot of the rock face. He reported this astonishing discovery to the authorities which resulted in the site being designated the 6th British historic protected wreck site. When the authorities decided that further professional help was needed, author and diver John Bingeman supplied his Portsmouth Royal Naval diving team, and together with David Tomalin, County Archaeologist, developed the full potential of this important site. Over the next nine years John Bingeman’s team conducted annual visits to excavate the site; they successfully recovered 3,471 artifacts including cannon weighing 1½ tons. Some of these cannon post-dated the Assurance, leading to the identification of a second 38-gun frigate, the Pomone, lost in 1811. Her Captain, Robert Barrie’s extensive correspondence was discovered by Paul Simpson to have been archived by Duke University, North Carolina. It features Pomone’s continuous actions during the French Napoleonic wars, followed by his appointment to the 74-gun Dragon when he saw action in Chesapeake Bay during the 1812-15 war with the USA. Returning to North America as Senior Naval Officer Canada, Commodore Barrie made quite a name for himself improving the political relationship between the USA and Canada; he is remembered by the Canadian City named Barrie. Previously unresearched archaeological finds are featured, including the development of rigging blocks, gunlocks, military buttons and ship’s chain pumps, all superbly illustrated, as well as the results of research into numerous other artifacts of the period. Appendices contain the transcripts of the two ship’s court martials and make fascinating reading. Captains seem to be blameless while their navigating officers are held responsible even going to prison. Perhaps not surprising when tried by fellow Captains!
