Four 19th-Century Steamboats in Shelburne Shipyard, Lake Champlain, Vermont, USA
The W estern R iver S teamboat H eroine , 1832–1838, O klahoma, USA
This paper completes the description of the western river steamboat Heroine (1832–1838) (Crisman et al. 2013b; Crisman, 2014), with a detailed analysis of the steam propulsion machinery recovered. Heroine's place in the development of steam technology is analysed through historic sources and comparable finds, and the requirements of river navigation explored. Changes to the paddle flange and the short-lived use of flywheels are particularly noted…
The Western River Steamboat Heroine , 1832-1838, Oklahoma, USA
This paper describes the design and construction of the side-wheel steamer Heroine, a representative of the ‘western river steamboat’ type and the earliest example of its kind to undergo archaeological study. Heroine was built at New Albany, Indiana, in 1832 and sunk on the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas in 1838. The extensive remains of the lower hull show assembly practices in use during the developmental era of Mississippi River steamboa…
The Western River Steamboat Heroine, 1832-1838, Oklahoma, USA
This paper describes the excavation, discoveries relating to the hull, machinery, and artefacts, and the history of an early steamboat wreck discovered in the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. The wreck has been identified as the side-wheel steamer Heroine, a vessel in service on the Mississippi, Ohio, and other western rivers of North America during the 1830s. It is the earliest example of this famous type of vessel yet studied

X Marks the Spot
The French Navy and the Seven Years' War
The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) has been termed the first true world war, due to the geographical extent of the conflict (five continents were involved), the widespread participation by European states and their overseas colonies and allies, and the duration and ferocity of the fighting. Despite this, it has never captured the wholehearted attention of historians and the public. Much of the uninterest can be ascribed to a few key factors: the ba…
