Dolwick, Jim S. "The social shaping of steamboats." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.560595.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the early evolution of the steamboat in the United States and examines how three inventors-Robert Fulton, Robert R. Livingston, and Colonel John Stevens, III---constructed the first commercially successful steamboats, including the Vermont, the third passenger steamboat built in the US, the earliest surviving example in the archaeological record. Its purpose is to see how the steamboat came to be defined as a distinctive vessel type and to understand how Vermont and other steamboats fit into a historical context of development. In order to do this, it seeks to treat technological development as a social process. The problem is that, historically, the concept 'social' has been narrowly defined, restricted to only certain kinds of elements. Past attempts to understand technological development in 'social' terms have resulted in unconvincing explanations that have excluded 'nature' and reduced the objects of study to mere 'social constructions.' Consequently, the term 'social' now carries with it a number of connotations that are largely negative and unhelpful to archaeological and historical pursuits. The solution that this dissertation seeks to put into practice is to use a more nuanced definition of 'social' by drawing from the insights and sensibilities of Actor- Network Theory (ANT) and adopting its more expansive theoretical position of 'generalized symmetry.'.

335 pages
This thesis describes the river towns along the Willamette River in Oregon. River conditions, adaptation of the boats to the river, and steamboat routes shown at ten year intervals illustrate the degree of accessibility of the various towns. Reasons for success or failure in light of factors of site, situation, efforts of townsite promoters or lack thereof are evaluated. Increase in population is used as a measure of success. Orientation to the river was reflected in town plans and location of land uses as sh own in early maps and views.

The residents of Steamboat Springs, Colorado are continually faced with new propositions for accommodating population growth, but do not possess the proper tools for comparing the potential impacts of different options. In this thesis, I construct four alternative futures for Steamboat Springs, based on realistic potential growth trajectories. Using a visual survey technique and geospatial impact modeling, I then test the impacts of each scenario on five concerns that the community in Steamboat Springs identified as being most important.

Abstract:

This thesis claims that between 1928 and 1934, technological developments, along with cultural shifts in the acceptance of machines in American society, led the studio away from the abstract style of their silent films toward the naturalism that would work to create the illusion of the fantasy worlds of Disney?s full-length feature films.

Brizzolara, Jennifer L. "Characterizing Benthic Habitats Using Multibeam Sonar and Towed Underwater Video in Two Marine Protected Areas on the West Florida Shelf, USA." Scholar Commons, 2017. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6806.

Full text

Abstract:

This study investigates a way to characterize the geology and biology of the seafloor in two Marine Protected Areas on the West Florida Shelf. Characterization of benthic habitats needs to include sufficient detail to represent the complex and heterogeneous bottom types. Characterizations can be interpreted from multiple data sets and displayed as benthic habitat maps. Multibeam sonar bathymetry and backscatter provide full spatial data coverage, but interpretation of such data requires some form of ground truth (to characterize the habitat). Imagery from towed underwater video provides continuous transects of seafloor data, which provide a more efficient method than data from sediment grabs, stationary cameras, or video from slow-moving remotely-operated vehicles while a ship is on station. Two Marine Protected Areas, Steamboat Lumps and Madison-Swanson, were previously mapped by the USGS using a 95 kHz multibeam sonar system. Researchers at the University of South Florida, using a 300 kHz high-resolution multibeam sonar in 2002 and a 400 kHz high-resolution multibeam sonar in 2016, filled in the northeast triangular portion of Madison-Swanson. Bathymetry and backscatter data were compared to towed underwater-video observations. A modified version of the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS), utilizing a scale-based hierarchy, was used for habitat characterization of video images. Identifiers from the geoform and substrate components of CMECS, as well as substrate-influencing biologic components, were characterized using still images at 15-second intervals from towed underwater video collected using the Camera-Based Assessment Survey System (C-BASS). These characterizations were then georeferenced (located in three-dimensional space) for comparison with bathymetry and backscatter data. In Steamboat Lumps, eight substrate variations were identified from video, while in Madison-Swanson 27 substrate variations were identified, including many combinations of hard and soft substrate types. Four new hard-bottom textures are identified from video in Madison-Swanson: exposed high-relief, moderate-relief, and low-relief hard bottom, as well as covered low-relief hard bottom identified by the presence of attached biota. Hard- and mixed-bottom substrate types identified from video are more heterogeneous than can be resolved from 95 kHz Kongsberg EM 1002 multibeam sonar bathymetry and beam-averaged backscatter. However, in soft bottom areas, more changes are evident in beam-averaged backscatter than are visible in video, though this may be attributed to changes in sonar settings. This does not appear to be the case with high-resolution and ultra-high resolution multibeam sonars, such as the 300 kHz Kongsberg EM 3000 and the 400 kHz Reson SeaBat 7125, which can use time-series rather than beam-averaged backscatter. Analyses of the multibeam bathymetry data indicate that 94.5% of Steamboat Lumps is “flat” (slope < 5°) versus “sloping” for the remaining area (5° < slope < 30°). Only 87% of Madison-Swanson is “flat” versus “sloping”. Both marine protected areas have very low rugosity, i.e., the surface of the seafloor is nearly planar.

Abstract:

From the Louisiana Purchase (1803) to the beginning of the Civil War (1861), travel writing about journeys on the Mississippi and its tributaries contributed to spread themes, motives, symbols and characters of paramount importance for American imagination. Traveling was already a key part in American identity and the Western Rivers represented a landscape element endowed with great mythopoetic power. The present thesis analyses actual and fictional accounts of journeys on the Western Rivers in order to establish fruitful links between major works of American literature and less known texts, drawing especially from the memoirs of travelers and the sketches of Southwestern humorists.

Full text

Abstract:

The Great Lakes side-wheel steamboat Anthony Wayne was built in 1837 at Perrysburg, OH and participated in lakes shipping during a time when such vessels were experiencing their heyday. Designed as a passenger and cargo carrier, the steamer spent 13 years transporting goods and people throughout the Upper Lakes until succumbing to a boiler explosion while headed to Buffalo on 28 April 1850. The remains of Anthony Wayne were discovered in 2006 and two years later a collaborative project was begun for the purposes of documenting and assessing the present day condition of the wreck. Anthony Wayne is the oldest steamboat wreck on the Great Lakes to be studied by archaeologists and represents an important piece of maritime heritage that can aid researchers in understanding architectural and machinery specifics that are unknown to us today. This thesis presents the results of an archaeological and archival investigation of Anthony Wayne. Information pertaining to the discovery and significance of the vessel are presented, followed by descriptions of Perrysburg and its shipping industry, the steamer's owners, and how the vessel was built. The operational history of Anthony Wayne is then outlined chronologically, including ports of call, cargoes, masters, and incidents the steamer experienced. Details of the explosion and the aftermath of the sinking are then discussed, followed by a brief summary of other Great Lakes steamboat catastrophes from 1850 and why boilers explode. Focus then shifts to the two-year archaeological investigation, including project objectives, methodology, and findings. The construction specifics of the steamboat's hull, drive system, and associated artifacts are then presented, followed by post-project analysis and conclusions. A catalog of Great Lakes steam vessels, vessel enrollment documentation, the coroner's inquest following the disaster, and the initial dive report from the discoverers are furnished as appendices.

Full text

Abstract:

This study examined features of deep pool (>0.8 m mean depth) used by adult summer steelhead in Steamboat Creek (1991-1992). Steamboat Creek had a heterogenous thermal profile, with some segments exceeding preferred temperature of steelhead. Deep pools were scarce (4% of the total habitat units) and 39% of them were identified as cool pools (mean bottom water temperature [less than or equal to] 19°C). Adult summer steelhead were found primarily in deep pools, avoiding other habitats (glides, riffles) and even cold but shallow tributary junctions. Use of odds ratio showed that use of cool pools use was estimated to be 11 times greater than the odds of the use of warm pools (P <0.001). Discriminant analysis identified mean bottom pool water temperature, riparian forest at the pool bank, proportion of large boulders, maximum length and mean depth as the best subset of variables that accounted for differences between pools occupied and not occupied by adult steelhead. A total of 69% of the variation was explained by differences in used and not used groups. Classification accuracy was 89%. Canton Creek, a tributary of Steamboat Creek, were tested as validation site for the derived model, observing that the classification function performed moderately, achieving a hit-ratio of 0.7. Results of the study showed that, since bottom pool temperature was a major factor but other ecological factors were also relevant, an integrated framework would be required in determining pool used by this species. Moderate success of the predictive model suggests that managers will want to check it before applying in other basins.

Abstract:

The advent of steam contributed heavily to the economic transformation of early America, facilitating trade through the transportation of goods along the country’s lakes, rivers, and canals. Serious experimentation with steam navigation began in the last quarter of the 18th century. By the turn of the 19th century, fledgling US steamboat companies vied for control of navigation rights in the country’s northern waterways. The second steamboat to be launched on Lake Champlain, Phoenix, operated as a passenger steamer between 1815 and 1819, when she caught fire and sank in the lake. The intention of this study is to advance our knowledge of early steamboat design and use in the United States through the archaeological investigation of the country’s earliest-known steamboat wreck. As little is known about the development of these early steam vessels, the study of Phoenix offers a unique opportunity to gain new information related to steamboat design in the early 19th century as well as a glimpse into life on the lakes and rivers of North America during this era. The dissertation presents detailed information on Phoenix’s construction, operation, and sinking based on historical and archaeological analysis and interpretation. In combination with the available archival record and analytical comparisons with steamboats of similar size and age, a more comprehensive understanding of the developmental phases of steam travel and its impact on early America can be gained.
