'Florence M. Woodman Turner April 1907'. From this name we found that this lady was born in Essex in 1885, died in 1977 and was buried in Marazion cemetery. She was the daughter of Samuel Thomas Turner and Florence Maud Dennis, the latter being the daughter of Charles Dennis and Mary Woodman who lived at The Bungalow, Perran Crossroads. (Now a Chinese restaurant.) Many of the family came down from Essex to visit Charles and Mary, and later settled here themselves. They took many photos of the countryside around the area. Also in the album are many photos of the family at home in Essex. Florence M.Woodman Turner married Charles Henry Lee, son of Henry Lee, butler for Lord St. Levan on St Michaels Mount.

Title A name given to the resource HMS Warspite Description An account of the resource HMS Warspite was one of five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships built for the Royal Navy during the early 1910s. Completed during the First World War in 1915, she was assigned to the Grand Fleet and participated in the Battle of Jutland. Other than that battle, and the inconclusive Action of 19 August, her service during the war generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea. During the interwar period the ship was deployed in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, often serving as flagship, and was thoroughly modernised in the mid-1930s. During the Second World War, Warspite was involved in the Norwegian Campaign in early 1940 and was transferred to the Mediterranean later that year where the ship participated in fleet actions against the Royal Italian Navy (Regia Marina) while also escorting convoys and bombarding Italian troops ashore. She was damaged by German aircraft during the Battle of Crete in mid-1941 and required six months of repairs in the United States. They were completed after the start of the Pacific War in December and the ship sailed across the Pacific to join the Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean in early 1942. Warspite returned home in mid-1943 to conduct naval gunfire support as part of Force H during the Italian campaign. She was badly damaged by German radio-controlled glider bombs during the landings at Salerno and spent most of the next year under repair. The ship bombarded German positions during the Normandy landings and on Walcheren Island in 1944, despite not being fully repaired. These actions earned her the most battle honours ever awarded to an individual ship in the Royal Navy. For this and other reasons, Warspite gained the nickname the "Grand Old Lady" after a comment made by Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham in 1943 while she was his flagship. When she was launched in 1913 the use of oil as fuel and untried 15-inch guns were revolutionary concepts in the naval arms race between Britain and Germany, a considerable risk for Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, and Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jackie Fisher, who had advocated the design. However, the new "fast battleships" proved to be an outstanding success during the First World War. Decommissioned in 1945, Warspite ran aground under tow to be scrapped in 1947 on rocks near Prussia Cove, Cornwall, and was eventually broken up nearby. Warspite was the sixth Royal Navy ship to bear the name. It likely originated from an archaic word for woodpecker, 'speight'; with the implication that, during the age of sail the war-speight would peck holes in her enemies' wooden hulls.

Title A name given to the resource Wreck of The SS Wilson Description An account of the resource Clive Carter´s "Cornish Shipwrecks, The North Coast" states: This wreck´s tragic story began at 2.30 am on the 22nd January 1939 when St. Just coastguard sighted a large steamer smothered by breaking seas 2 miles north of Cape Cornwall. At the time there was a WNW storm force 10 blowing with winds of over 90mph. The St. Ives lifeboat John & Sarah Eliza Stych, aided by 80 volunteers working chestdeep in freezing water, was launched from the harbour. Four hours later the lifeboat, three times capsized and six of her crew drowned, was tossed ashore broken and gutted on to Godrevy rocks, leaving only one survivor. The big steamer had come within a few hundred yards of the shore before making off seawards. She had made neither rocket or radio signals and had apparently escaped unscathed. But other bodies than those of the lifeboatmen were coming ashore, and heavy wreckage was found near Zennor. A lifebouy enscribed Fosca was picked up, but this Italian steamer was unharmed. Under Wicca Cliffs a broken lifeboat marked Becheville was found, but this 2,561 ton London steamer had already limped in to Falmouth with 6 of her crew badly injured. Further wreckage indicated a French trawler. At Tregurthen a farmer found a broken lifebuoy, one half bearing SS Wilston and the other "Glasgow". The Wilston was last positvely sighted 20 miles NNW of the Longships, however no distress signal of any kind was ever received from her.

Title A name given to the resource Print of 'The Nile' Screw Steam Ship with sails Wrecked off Godrevy Description An account of the resource Postcard of an etching of 'The Nile' . Wrecked off Godrevy Point partially responsible for a campaign to instal a lighthouse on Godrevy Source: Wikipedia The Nile, an iron-hulled screw steamer, was built at Dumbarton in 1850. She was first operated by the Moss Line of Liverpool and inaugurated the line's Mediterranean service. In 1853 her ownership passed to James Stirling of Dublin and her operations to the British and Irish Steam Packet Company Loss On her last voyage, Nile was travelling from Liverpool to London, calling at Penzance, Falmouth, Plymouth and Portsmouth en route. She was carrying a cargo of heavy merchandise and could also accommodate passengers at low rates, though due to the late time of year few people would have taken such a roundabout route.[1] She had been due to leave Liverpool on Sunday 26 November but due to bad weather had to delay her journey for two days.[3] She left Liverpool on the evening of Tuesday 28 November and was last seen about 40 miles (64 km) from the Longships Lighthouse on the evening of 30 November, making her way through rough seas and high winds.[1] The following day, a ship sailing from Hayle to Penzance spotted oil floating on the water. Later on 1 December it became apparent that an accident had overtaken the Nile when papers addressed to the captain, spars, empty casks and other debris were washed ashore at Portreath. The ship's stern was spotted a day or two later and several bodies, five of which were female, were washed ashore at Tehidy. One of them was identified as the stewardess of the Nile.[1] Cause and casualties of the disaster The cause of the disaster was not definitively established. It is likely that the captain, W.F. Moppett of Dublin, drifted off course by about 18 to 20 miles in the bad weather, resulting in the ship hitting The Stones. The Nile may have managed to back away from the rocks but foundered in 12 to 14 fathoms of water. Those aboard were either unable to escape due to the ship's rapid disintegration or were overwhelmed by the waves when they tried to launch the lifeboats.[1] The ship was thought to have struck the rocks around 2 or 3 am shortly after the flood tide, judging by the disposition of the wreckage in St Ives Bay.[3] There were about 24 crew aboard, consisting of the captain, two mates, a steward and stewardess, carpenter, boatswain, 18 engineers, stokers and sailors.[4] The number of passengers was unclear. Several missed the ship's departure due to its late exit from Liverpool. One man had a fortunate escape when he spent too long drinking ashore with a friend and missed the ship's departure. He hurried on to Bristol via another steamer and travelled overland to Hayle to catch up with the Nile so that he could be reunited with his luggage, which was still aboard, but found on arriving that he had lost his luggage but saved his life. Another man arrived at the ship just as the bridge to the deck was being removed and offered a shilling to a porter to replace it, but was refused; he thus missed the departure and unknowingly escaped the shipwreck.[3] The value of the Nile was estimated at around £40,000 to £50,000 (around £3.2 million to £4 million in 2013 prices) and was almost fully insured, but much of the cargo – mainly goods from Manchester despatched to drapers at Penzance, Truro and Falmouth – was uninsured and the consignees suffered heavy losses as a result of the sinking.[4] Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Malcolm Waters Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Morrab Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1853-11-30 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Morrab Library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Postcard Type The nature or genre of the resource Engraving Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context M.2509 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Godrevy https://photoarchive.morrablibrary.org.uk/files/original/Lamorna_Birch_Family_Photos/20298/lamornabirch.327.tif b3cbee9d0f2afe7e6e24a032c3945543 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
