Christopher Corker's The Business and Technology of the Sheffield Armaments Industry, 1900-1930 (U of York, 2016) focuses on four in-depth case studies of John Brown, Cammell-Laird, Thomas Firth and Hadfields to examine the business and technology of the industry. It builds on the work of Tweedale and Trebilcock on Sheffield and armaments, and advances the argument that during the period of study from 1900 to 1930, the city was one of the most important centres for armaments research and production anywhere in the world. The business of the armaments industry is explored through an examination of the evolving links the industry had with the Government against the backdrop of an uncertain trading environment, and the managerial connections established between the state and private industry. Also explored are the collaborative, collusive and independent defensive measures enacted by the industry to counter uncertainty in the industry, through collaborative business arrangements and various approaches to entering international markets for armaments. An examination of the business of the armaments industry also highlights the value of the technological investment made by the industry. At the centre of exploring the technology of the armaments industry, a reconstruction of its technological history is undertaken using patent and archival records, highlighting the nuances and research dead-ends of development in the industry. Of central importance is the notion of spin-off and the interactions between armaments and metallurgical developments in the creation of a pool of knowledge to be utilised for future research into alloy steels, and the notion of path-dependent technological research. Also advanced is the concept of an innovation system centred on Sheffield, and an exploration of the important national and international links advanced by the industry This title is available open access here.  Chris is a business historian, and Lecturer in Management at the School for Business and Society at the University of York, where he is a former Director of Undergraduate Programmes. He completed his PhD in 2016, and won the 2017 Coleman Prize from the Association of Business Historians for excellence in new business history research, and an Emerald Literati Prize in 2019. His current research is on innovation and knowledge in industrial clusters, in particular the business and intellectual history of Stainless Steel, which has been supported by a small grant from the Business Archives Council.

I know it is the only mainstream cruise line that has an Untied States flag ship. I have read two different stories how it got to be flag in the United States 1. That part of the ship was built in the United States and than the rest of it was took to Germany to be finished. 2. That the governor of Hawaii want tourism so he got the ship flag in the United States. So, which is true or are they both true? When was it built 2000 or 1999?Cruise NewsFred. Olsen Cruise Lines' Borealis completes multimillion-pound refurbishment at Cammell Laird shipyard near LiverpoolFred. Olsen Cruise Lines' Borealis has completed a multimillion-pound refurbishment programme at Cammell Laird shipyard, Birkenhead, becoming the first cruise liner to undergo work at the site for over 25 years.Borealis arrived on 28th October, for a 14-day refurbishment, including steel repairs, an overhaul of the shafts and propellers as well a new application of underwater paint, supported by more than 150 members of Cammell Laird's workforce.The ship sailed out of Cammell Laird's Birkenhead site at lunchtime on Saturday, ready to welcome guests back on board for a cruise in search of the Northern Lights, which left the city on Sunday.Peter Deer, Managing Director of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said: “As a family-run cruise line, we know how important it is to support local communities and we hope to continue to build these relationships in and around Liverpool for many years to come.”Borealis joined the Fred. Olsen fleet in 2020, and has called Liverpool its homeport since sailing resumed in 2021, offering more than 50 sailings from the city. A report to the local authority's culture and visitor economy committee earlier this year found Borealis had contributed more than £2.25m to the local economy by using Liverpool as her homeport.Her upcoming sailings from the city include the chance to visit both Northern and Western Europe, including a special two-week Christmas sailing to the Canary Islands – before setting sail on an exciting ‘Around the World in 80 Days' cruise in February – the first time Fred. Olsen has offered the chance to join a World Cruise from Liverpool.David McGinley, Chief Executive of Cammell Laird, said: “Cammell Laird was delighted to welcome Borealis and her crew to our facility, and be given the opportunity to showcase Cammell Laird's ship repair capabilities.“It took over 150 members of the Cammell Laird workforce, including apprentices, to complete the programme of works – which injected well in excess of a million pounds into the local economy.AIDA Cruises: makes a sustainable move ashore For many years, AIDA Cruises has been investing in a future-oriented and sustainable cruise market as part of its Green Cruising strategy. As part of its comprehensive commitment, the company is continuously advancing climate and resource protection with many small and large initiatives.For sustainable shore excursions, AIDA Cruises will use bicycles made of bamboo on all ships in its fleet in the future. To this effect, the cruise company AIDA Cruises and the manufacturer of bamboo bicycles, my Boo GmbH from Kiel, have concluded an agreement. By purchasing a total of 1,155 e-bikes and bicycles for its twelve ships, AIDA Cruises is supporting an innovative product as well as concrete social commitment and sustainable economic action.The first of these extraordinary bikes came on board in 2019.What makes these bikes so special is the unusual material from which the frame is made. Bamboo is a renewable resource that is as strong as steel and as light as aluminium. Its springy properties make for a particularly pleasant cycling experience for AIDA guests. In addition to the classic mountain bike version, there is also a choice of e-bikes, which are equipped with an electric auxiliary motor.Viking takes delivery of newest ocean ship`Viking today announced it has taken delivery of the company's newest ocean ship, the Viking Neptune®. The delivery ceremony took place this morning (11 Nov) when the ship was presented at Fincantieri's shipyard in Ancona, Italy. While identical to Viking's other ocean ships, the Viking Neptune is equipped with a small hydrogen fuel system, making it the cruise industry's first ship to test the use of hydrogen power for on board operations. Viking is using the small system as a test to determine how hydrogen fuel could be used at a larger scale in future newbuilds.The Viking Neptune will spend her inaugural season sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean before embarking on the company's 2022-2023 Viking World Cruise, a journey from Fort Lauderdale to London that spans 138-days, 28 countries and 57 ports, with overnight stays in 11 cities.The delivery of the Viking Neptune comes as Viking continues to mark its 25th anniversary this year. Viking Expeditions launched in January with the purpose-built Viking Octantis; her sister ship, the Viking Polaris, debuted in September. Earlier in the year, the company also welcomed eight new Viking Longships® on the rivers of Europe, new purpose-built vessels for the Nile, Mekong and Mississippi Rivers, as well as another new ocean ship, the Viking Mars.The Viking Neptune is the newest ship in Viking's award-winning ocean fleet of identical sister ships. Classified by Cruise Critic as “small ships,” Viking's ocean vessels have a gross tonnage of 47,800 tons, with 465 staterooms that can host 930 guests; the ships feature all veranda staterooms, Scandinavian design, light-filled public spaces and abundant al fresco dining options.Delays for Queen AnnCunard has been forced to delay the delivery of new ship Queen Anne due to supply chain issues.The sold out maiden cruise, a seven-night sailing from Southampton to Lisbon, on January 4, 2024 has been put back until May.Passengers have been automatically transferred to a new seven-night maiden voyage by the 3,000-passenger ship from Southampton on May 3, 2024, visiting La Coruna and Lisbon.A Cunard spokesperson said: “Due in part to unforeseen events that have occurred in recent years, the shipbuilding industry, like other industries, has faced numerous challenges including energy shortages and global supply chain constraints.“As a result, our new ship Queen Anne will be arriving slightly later than expected.”The ship's new maiden season will include cruises from Southampton to the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Canary Islands and Norwegian fjords.The cruises go on sale on December 6 for Cunard World Club loyalty scheme members and on general sale the following day.Cunard sister brand P&O Cruises has also pushed back the maiden voyage of new ship Arvia from December 9 to 23 due to external issues.P&O Cruises Australia Reopens Cruising Adventures to Vanuatu's Mystery Island And LuganvilleTwo more iconic cruise destinations in Vanuatu — Mystery Island and Luganville — are reopening with P&O Cruises Australia's Sydney-based Pacific Adventure on its current 10-night cruise to the South Pacific.Amid a festival atmosphere, Pacific Adventure and its 2000 guests were today welcomed back to Mystery Island by the community of nearby Aneityum for whom cruising is the key economic driver.A similar welcome is anticipated on Sunday when Pacific Adventure visits Luganville on the island of Espiritu Santo with a call to the Vanuatu capital Port Vila in between.

Audio version of the pamphlet. More here: https://workersliberty.org/laird-occupation In 1984 workers at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead occupied their workplace in defence of jobs. The occupation and the strike which preceded it lasted just over three months, and then on 3 October the occupiers were arrested. 37 of them were found guilty of contempt of court and jailed. There is a campaign to lift the convictions. Workers' Liberty has published this pamphlet so that we can remember those who took risks to fight to save not just their jobs but the jobs of future generations.

Where we're going, we don't need roads . . . In 2003, Wirral born Alex Hay achieved every football fan's childhood dream, to score for your team, in front of the home end. Alex grew up in the shadow of Prenton Park, the home of Tranmere Rovers. He turned down offers from Tranmere's looming premier league neighbors, Everton and Liverpool to join his beloved Rovers.  Making his way through the academy, and into the first-team picture, playing alongside the likes of Liam O'Brien, John Achterberg, Jonny Morrissey, Jason Koumas, Clint Hill and Iain Hume, Alex would go on to make 54 appearances for Tranmere before being released by Brian Little ahead of the 2004/2005 season.  Alex was heartbroken and moved down south to Rushden and Diamonds, who had just been relegated into Division 3. Alex struggled for form and confidence, isolating himself from his teammates. After an unsuccessful season, Alex moved back North, signing for Bangor City in the Welsh Premier League. A handful more seasons in the Welsh and Non-League, saw Alex's playing career culminate at local side Cammell Laird in 2010.  At that point, Alex dropped out of the professional game and embarked on a difficult transition into civilian life. We spoke to Alex about his struggles with anxiety and confidence, his time at Tranmere, and how he coped with the idea of no longer being a professional footballer once his career had finished.

Episode Six: Isolation, personality, and keeping up appearances. In 2003, Wirral born Alex Hay achieved every football fan's childhood dream, to score for your team, in front of the home end.
