Mount Warspite
Mount Warspite is a mountain summit located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. The peak is visible from the Smith-Dorrien Road (742), and Alberta Highway 40 in the Kananaskis Lakes area. Mount Warspite's nearest higher peak is Mount Black Prince, to the northwest. Like so many of the mountains in Kananaskis Country, Mount Warspite received its name from the persons and ships involved in the 1916 Battle of Jutland, a major sea battle of the First World War. Mount Warspite was named in 1917 for the British battleship HMS ''Warspite'', one of the most decorated and revered ships in Royal Navy history that fought during the Battle of Jutland in World War I, and survived to also serve in World War II. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1922 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Sailing In Anguilla
Sailing in Anguilla has a long and deep history, and is one of the defining characteristics of the island. The history of Anguillian sailing is often indistinguishable from the history of the island itself. Sailing craft date back to the Taino and Arawak peoples who inhabited Anguilla before the British Colonisation. However these craft have had little influence on the unique sailing practiced in Anguilla. Instead, it originated from the fishing vessels constructed and built locally after colonization and the subsequent collapse of the local plantation system to provide food and modest income to the inhabitants. "The Battle of Anguilla" The earliest reference to sailing in Anguillian history involves what is unofficially known as "The Battle of Anguilla". In 1796, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, 400 men were dispatched from the neighboring French colony of St. Martin aboard two frigates, Le Decius and Le Valiant. This force landed on what is now known as Rendezvou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Preserved Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST Locomotives
This table details the steam locomotives of the Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST class that have been preserved on heritage railways. Of the 484 'Austerities' constructed, around 70 have survived into preservation, often referred to by enthusiasts as "Buckets". Although the Hunslet Engine Company were responsible for the design, not all of these locomotives were built by the company. In order to meet wartime demand, Hunslet subcontracted some of the construction to Andrew Barclay Sons & Co., W. G. Bagnall, Hudswell Clarke, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns and the Vulcan Foundry. Several have been painted as LNER Class J94s to represent mainline rather than industrial use. Not all have survived intact; the boiler of RSH 7135 of 1944 was used on the replica Broad gauge locomotive " Iron Duke" built in 1985. One has been turned into a Thomas the Tank Engine lookalike, and another into one of Douglas, also from ''The Railway Series''. The Scottish Railway Preservation Society have for ...
