Henry Dutton (pastoralist)
Henry Dutton (1844 – 25 August 1914) was a pastoralist in South Australia, known as the "Squire of Anlaby". He was the father of Henry Hampden Dutton and a grandfather of writer Geoffrey Dutton. History Henry was born in Melbourne, Victoria, a son of Hampden Dutton, (William) Hampden Dutton (1805 – 21 November 1849) and his wife Charlotte da Silva Dutton, née Cameron (1813 – 11 May 1885), a stepdaughter of John Finnis (captain), Capt. John Finnis (1802–1872). Their families were notable in South Australian history; his uncle Francis Stacker Dutton was involved in the discovery and exploitation of the copper deposits near Kapunda and was later Premier of the colony. His parents moved to South Australia in December 1838 and settled for a while in Mount Barker, South Australia, Mount Barker. Hampden persuaded his younger brother Frederick Dutton (Australian politician), Frederick, who was then in Melbourne, to move to South Australia. This he did, in 1841 with the property ...

Brighton, South Australia
Brighton is a coastal suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, situated between Seacliff and Glenelg and aside Holdfast Bay. Some notable features of the area are the Brighton-Seacliff Yacht Club, the Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club, the Brighton Jetty, and a beach. The Windsor Theatre, constructed in 1925, is a long-standing institution. History The Kaurna people inhabited the area before British colonisation of South Australia. Witu-wattingga has become the accepted Kaurna name for the area, although its origin is probably arose through confusion with Wita-wattingga, the certified Kaurna name for an area around present-day Seacliff Park, meaning "in the midst of peppermint gums". (There is, however, a Kaurna language meaning for ''witu-watti'', meaning "reeds in the middle", so could be applied to some small, intermittent swamps with reeds in the area, such as one near Young Street in Seacliff.) Brighton Post Office opened on 27 August 1849. Brighton Jetty Post Office opened on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Depth Moulded
A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline. General features There is a wide variety of hull types that are chosen for suitability for different usages, the hull shape being dependent upon the needs of the design. Shapes range from a nearly perfect box in the case of scow barges to a needle-sharp surface of revolution in the case of a racing multihull sailboat. The shape is chosen to strike a balance between cost, hydrostatic considerations (accommodation, load carrying, and stability), hydrodynamics (speed, power requirements, and motion and behavior in a seaway) and special considerations for the ship's role, such as the rounded bow of an icebreaker or the flat bottom of a landing craft.

Waterline Length
A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L)Note: originally Load Waterline Length is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the ''waterline''). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall (''length overall'' or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL. As a ship becomes more loaded, it will sit lower in the water and its ambient waterline length may change; but the registered L.W.L it is measured from a default load condition. This measure is significant in determining several of a vessel's properties, such as how much water it displaces, where the bow and stern waves occur, hull speed, amount of bottom-paint needed, etc. Traditionally, a stripe called the "boot top" is painted around the hull just above the waterline. In sailing boats, longer waterline length will usually enable a greater maximum speed, because it allows greater sail area, without increasing beam or d ...

Length Between Perpendiculars
Length between perpendiculars (often abbreviated as p/p, p.p., pp, LPP, LBP or Length BPP) is the length of a ship along the summer load line from the forward surface of the stem, or main bow perpendicular member, to the after surface of the sternpost, or main stern perpendicular member. When there is no sternpost, the centerline axis of the rudder stock is used as the aft end of the length between perpendiculars. Measuring to the stern post or rudder stock was believed to give a reasonable idea of the ship's carrying capacity, as it excluded the small, often unusable volume contained in her overhanging ends. On some types of vessels this is, for all practical purposes, a waterline measurement. In a ship with raked stems, naturally that length changes as the draught of the ship changes, therefore it is measured from a defined loaded condition. See also * Length overall __NOTOC__ Length overall (LOA, o/a, o.a. or oa) is the maximum length of a vessel's hull measured para ...

Kapunda Herald
''The Kapunda Herald'' was a newspaper published in Kapunda, South Australia from 29 October 1864 to 25 January 1951. From 1864 to 1878 the masthead was subtitled ''"and Northern Intelligencer"''. It was published weekly, except for the period February 1872 to September 1894 when it appeared bi-weekly. When closed, the newspaper was merged with the ''Barossa News'' to become the '' Barossa and Light Herald.'' History ''Northern Star'' (7 March 1860 – 26 December 1863): Around 1860 journalist George Massey Allen (c. 1828 – 15 November 1886) founded in Kapunda the ''Northern Star'', the first English-language newspaper in regional South Australia. Printed by Allen in Main Street, Kapunda, it was described as "a very creditable six-page folio newspaper". After a run of three years, the business ran into difficulties and James Elliott ( – 22 April 1883), and James Scandrett (25 July 1836 – 8 June 1903) purchased his printing press.

James Martin & Company
James Martin & Co was an Australian engineering company which progressed from making agricultural equipment to making railway locomotives. History James Martin & Co. was founded in Gawler, South Australia in around 1848 by James Martin as a blacksmith and wheelright business. It soon began to manufacture reapers. The opening of the Gawler railway line in 1857 allowed Adelaide to be accessed more easily. In 1858, Thomas Flett Loutit joined the business as a shareholder and steam power was introduced to the workshop. In 1868 Loutit retired due to ill health. In the 1870s, a new foundry was built on Calton Road.James Martin & Co Phoenix Foundry Town of Gawler During this period James Martin’s nephew, John Felix Martin (1844–1916) and Fred May joined him in partnership, ...

Auburn, South Australia
Auburn is a small town in the southern edge of the Clare Valley, in the Mid North of South Australia. It lies in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges just east of the Skilly Hills. Auburn is bisected by the Wakefield River as it makes its way to the sea at Port Wakefield. It has strong poetical themes, being named from a poem and the birthplace of a famed poet. History The first European to explore through the Auburn district, in April 1839, was John Hill, who was followed one month later by Edward John Eyre. On 10 March 1840 John Morphett selected a special survey of 4,000 acres on the Wakefield River as land agent for three English investors, Admiral George Lambert, Edward Rice M.P., and Robert Slaney M.P. Very soon after, just outside the southwest corner of this survey, a pioneering character named William Tateham squatted on the Wakefield River, living in a riverbank dugout from where he provided hospitality to travellers. The spot, which later became the site of Aubur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saddleworth, South Australia
Saddleworth is a small town in the Mid North region of South Australia. The town is situated on the Gilbert River and along with neighbouring towns of Riverton, Rhynie and Tarlee the local area is known as the Gilbert Valley. The town is bisected by the Barrier Highway. At the , Saddleworth had a population of 470. Saddleworth was originally established as one of many settlements on the road to Burra, and was named after ''Saddleworth Lodge'' pastoral station, a local landholding which itself was named after a civil parish on the edges of the Pennines in Yorkshire, England, part of which is in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham near Greater Manchester, England. Joseph Dunn applied for a Publican's Licence to open a new Saddleworth Lodge in March 1846, and it was granted on the 14th of March 1846. The Burra railway line passed through the town from 1870 until the early 2000s. An old store on the Barrier Highway has been converted into a museum which focuses on the history ...

John Melrose
George Melrose (22 December 1806 – 8 April 1894) was a Scottish pioneer of South Australia, whose descendants were prominent in pastoral and professional circles. History George Melrose (22 December 1806 – 8 April 1894), the last surviving son of John Melrose of Balerno, Scotland, left his homeland on the ''Palmyra'', arriving in 1839. He gained experience as a sheep farmer; first on the Bremer River, then at Macclesfield with (later Sir) Walter W. Hughes; next at Mount Barker with Robert Lawson of Padthaway; then took up land on the South Rhine (now Marne River), the foundation of what would become "Rosebank", his Mount Pleasant property. All the neighboring country having been taken up, he embarked on a number of exploratory expeditions, mostly east of the Murray, and in 1846 started to invest in the Lake Victoria region, and moved there with his new wife in 1847. After squatting there for seven years negotiations with the New South Wales government broke down, and the l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
