Featured web-links 3 - Navy Matters

I discovered 'Navy Matters' a couple of years ago when I wanted to find out more about Largs Bay and Lyme Bay being built on the Tyne (see below). I've got no connection with the Royal Navy and I don't know a great deal about ships, but I regularly find myself checking back to look at this fascinating, detailed and constantly updated site about the Navy's ship-building programme (sorry - still can't get Blogger to do live links).

Featured web-links 2 - Wonders of World Engineering

Discovered this when doing a bit of background research on the Birkenhead Tunnel. Wonders of World Engineering is a Thirties magazine/part-work which someone has taken the trouble to put on the Web in DjVu format (need to download the DjVu plug-in to read these).

As well as a great article on the Mersey Tunnel there are lots of other well researched features related to roads and cars - for example, on the design and construction of the early German Autobahns.

This is aspiring motoring journalist John Lambert's blog. John is especially keen on those fascinating but obscure old Hondas that had four-wheel steering. John has already had work published at the Pistonheads website and in the Independent.
