Clyde built : blockade runners, cruisers and armoured rams of the American Civil War / by Graham, Eric J.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-227) and index.The blockade -- The Clyde and the war at sea, 1861 -- The boom years, 1862-4 -- The Clyde's private runners -- The search for speed -- The search for cruisers and rams -- The legacy."The Civil War of 1861-65 was one of the defining moments in the history of America. The blockade of the US Southern ports during the war is well known. Less well known, however, is the role that Scotland played in this aspect of the conflict - almost 40 per cent of the ships were Scottish. This should not be surprising, however: at the time the fastest ships in the world were Clydebuilt, so it was natural that the Confederacy should turn to Scotland in their desperate bid to beat the tightening Northern blockade. The ideological conflict unfolding between American anti-slavery supporters and anti-abolitionists also spread to the other side of the Atlantic and forced the Scots to examine their own values, polarising opinions and forcing the individual to reassess their position concerning basic human rights. Using contemporary accounts and individual case studies, combined, "Clyde Built" presents a full account of Scotland's involvement in the American Civil War blockade, an involvement which almost certainly prolonged the conflict by several years"--Publisher.

Director of photography, Geoffrey Unsworth ; editor, Ray Lovejoy ; production designer, Ernest Archer, Harry Lange, Tony Masters.HAL 9000 voice: Douglas Rain.Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Daniel Richter, Leonard Rossiter, Margaret Tyzack, Robert Beatty, Sean Sullivan.At the Dawn of Man, a group of hominids encounters a mysterious black monolith that is alien to their surroundings. A hominid discovers the first weapon, using a bone to kill prey. The bone is tossed in the air and it's a 21st century spacecraft hovering over the Earth, skipping ahead millions of years in technological development only to imply that man hasn't advanced very far at all psychologically. U.S. scientist Dr. Heywood Floyd travels to the moon to check out the discovery of a strange object on the moon's surface: a black monolith. As the sun's rays strike the stone, however, it emits a piercing, deafening sound that fills the investigators' headphones and stops them in their path. Cutting ahead 18 months, impassive astronauts David Bowman and Frank Poole head toward Jupiter on the space ship Discovery, their only company three hibernating astronauts and the vocal, man-made HAL 9000 computer running the entire ship. When the all-too-human HAL malfunctions, however, he tries to murder the astronauts to cover his error, forcing Bowman to defend himself the only way he can. Free of HAL, and finally informed of the voyage's purpose by a recording from Floyd, Bowman journeys to "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite," through the psychedelic slit-scan star-gate to an 18th century room, and the completion of the monolith's evolutionary mission.MPAA rating: G.Blu-ray disc, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, mastered in high-definition; requires Blu-ray player.Special features: 480i/480p standard definition; stereo and mono.Academy Awards, 1969: Oscar - Best Effects, Special Visual Effects (Stanley Kubrick)
