June 7th.--At 8 a.m. this morning Admiral Noel broke the full Admirals' flag, and the " Albion " fired a salute of 17 guns, which was replied to by the flagship. An American cruiser that was lying in the harbour also saluted him. At 9 a.m. the "Ocean" and "Centurion " broke their paying-off pendants, and as they slipped the buoy at 10.30 the signal was made "Hands cheer ship," and all the ships in the harbour each in turn gave them three hearty cheers as they steamed out, playing " Rolling Home to Merry England." It was raining heavily as they left the harbour. On Thursday, thirteen of our seamen left the ship and went to the "Vengeance," in which ship they are to proceed home prior to their leaving the Service. Other men were sent here from the "Vengeance," but we miss the old faces very much. At 6 a.m. on Friday we left the harbour for Shanghai, accompanied by four destroyers.

Book Description
This book examines how the expansion of a steam-powered Royal Navy from the second half of the nineteenth century had wider ramifications across the British Empire. In particular, it considers how steam propulsion made vessels utterly dependent on a particular resource – coal – and its distribution around the world. In doing so, it shows that the ‘coal question’ was central to imperial defence and the protection of trade, requiring the creation of infrastructures that spanned the globe. This infrastructure required careful management, and the processes involved show the development of bureaucracy and the reliance on the ‘contractor state’ to ensure this was both robust and able to allow swift mobilisation in war. The requirement to stop regularly at foreign stations also brought men of the Royal navy into contact with local coal heavers, as well as indigenous populations and landscapes. These encounters and their dissemination are crucial to our understanding of imperial relationships and imaginations at the height of the imperial age.
