The Myth of HMS Minden and ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’: Where did it originate
The myth that Francis Scott Key wrote ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ aboard the British 74-gun ship HMS Minden, during the battle of Baltimore on 14 September 1814, is pervasive even today.1 This is tr

Cutwaters Before Rams: An experimental investigation into the origins and development of the waterline ram
Students at Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA) investigated the reasons for an elongated projection at the bow of Mediterranean galleys. Using a 1:20 base model adapted from the Trireme Trust's Olympias fitted with: 1) an elongated projection; and 2) a control bow similar to excavated merchant ships, tow-tank tests were carried out at various speeds. Hydrodynamic resistance and power were calculated for each bow type. Above speeds…
Contested Waterlines: The Wave-Line Theory and Shipbuilding in the Nineteenth Century
Ship hydrodynamics in the nineteenth century was dominated by John Scott Russell's wave-line theory. Russell, a prominent British shipbuilder and scientist, argued that wavemaking was the primary source of resistance for ships, and that by designing ships according to trigonometric curves and proportions (the wave line) this resistance could effectively be eliminated. From the 1840s to the 1880s, shipbuilders such as John Willis Griffiths, Donald…

John K. Brown did an excellent job with his article "Design Plans, Working Drawings, National Styles: Engineering Practice in Great Britain and the United States, 1775-1945" (April 2000). By comparing design and drafting in the American and British capital equipment industry, he made an important contribution to our understanding of the development of their respective engineering cultures. He concentrates on the existence of British "design creat…
