SUMMARY:The Age of the Armoured Battleship
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Presentation: Wednesday 15th September 1100 2021 \nOverview\nJust over 150 years ago there was a battle between two small warships which has been regarded by many as a turning point in warfare at sea and in warship design. That battle\, between the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia during the American Civil War\, was largely a draw but it proved to be a remarkable demonstration of the effectiveness of armour plate in protecting a warship from her enemy’s guns. This presentation traces the development of the armoured battleship from the earliest use of armour during Crimean War to the arms race of the early 20th Century and the ultimate gunships of World War II. Whilst the development of the aircraft and submarine heralded the end of the great battle fleets one important role of the battleship\, that of naval gunfire support\, has continued and the gun still has a role in naval forces today. \n  \nPresenter – John C Jeremy AM\nJohn is a graduate in naval architecture from the University of New South Wales. He spent most of his career at Cockatoo Dockyard in Sydney and held a number of positions in the planning and technical area before being appointed Technical Director of the company in 1976.  In 1978 he also took responsibility for all production activities. John was Managing Director/Chief Executive of Cockatoo Dockyard Pty Limited from 1981 to 1991. \nHe is currently editor-in-chief of The Australian Naval Architect. John is Senior Vice President of the Navy League of Australia and Vice President of the Naval Historical Society of Australia. He has written three books on the history of Cockatoo Dockyard. \nDetails\nDate and Time:          1100\, Wednesday 15th September 2021 (Sydney time) \nClick the link below to join the ZOOM meeting. \n  \nJoin the Zoom Meeting by clicking on the link below \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85679972339?pwd=eHpCSVpaVUtoYUdZRXczZHBXRy9zZz09 \n

SUMMARY:Zoom Presentation: Garden Island the birth place of Lawn Tennis in Australia
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Navy from 1788 to 1913 was the dominant naval presence in Australia. In many respects it was the originator of new ideas into the Colonies of Australia. \nThe introduction of lawn tennis is one such area where it was the originator just as it had been in other places where their presence entrenched such as the Bahamas. \nIn Sydney the Naval Depot on Garden Island was the site of the first lawn tennis ground in Australia. The year is 1874. \nThe site of the first lawn tennis was the site of the ships garden established by HMS Sirius just 17 days after the First Fleet anchored in Port Jackson. \nTennis on Garden Island and in the Royal Australian Navy has a history that will be marked by a sesquicentenary in 2024. \nThis presentation covers the origins of lawn tennis\, how it was brought to Australia and how it remains on Garden Island as part of Australia’s sporting heritage. \nPresenter – Colin Randall \nColin lived on Garden Island as a teenager and has an intimate knowledge of the Dockyard and especially the Hill where the current tennis courts are located. \nAs archivist for the Society he has assisted researchers in answering their many and varied questions regarding the history of Garden Island. \nFollowing his own questioning of the placement and origins of the tennis courts of garden Island he has been able to unearth their fascinating history and discover that they were the first lawn tennis courts in Australia. \nHis conclusions are based on the detailed mapping and recording of all that has happened on this small but vital island in Port Jackson. \nDetails \nDate and Time:          1100\, Tuesday 27 July 2021 (Sydney time) \nClick the link below to join the ZOOM meeting. \nClick to join the ZOOM meeting \nMeeting ID: 835 2572 0744\nPasscode: 614817 \nPlease join us

SUMMARY:The Sydney / Kormoran Battle and Locating the Ships
DESCRIPTION:NHSA Online zoom presentation \nby Gillian Lewis & Noel Phelan \n  \n  \nOverview\nThe 19th November was the 79th anniversary of the battle between HMAS SYDNEY II and HSK KORMORAN a German armed raider. They came within point blank range where whoever fires first accurately will inflict serious damage on the other. The element of surprise is everything here. Both ships sink with 318 survivors from the KORMORAN and no survivors from the 645 men on SYDNEY. Lots of questions were raised about what really happened. Both ships were found in 2008 and some of the questions were answered. A world class memorial was built at Geraldton to honour the 645 Australians lost. \n  \nPresenters\nGillian Lewis and Noel Phelan are volunteer speakers at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Gillian retired after a sales career at CSR and has a special interest in the loss with all hands of HMAS SYDNEY II. \nShe comes from a family with a history in the merchant and Royal Australian Navies. \nNoel started life as a science and mathematics teacher then spent 25 years at IBM in various technical and management positions. In retirement Noel has been a volunteer with both Marine Rescue and Rural Fire Service. He is currently a volunteer at NHSA organizing the speaker’s program. \nJoin the meeting via this link\, https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88546648259 \nWebinar ID: 885 4664 8259
