Lively Lady: Sir Alec Rose’s yacht lives again
It is 70 years since an amateur boat builder, Sydney Cambridge, secured teak sleepers from the stock of the Bengal and Assam Railway to
help build a 36ft gaff-cutter in Calcutta.
Cambridge adapted the plans of designer Frederick Shepherd, levelling off her keel, heightening her topsides and using thicker teak planking.
TWO brothers from Trefeglwys had risen in the boom of the industrial age and become pioneer rail builders. Robert and Benjamin Piercy were born at the end of the Georgian Era and beginning of the Victorian Era in a time of peace and colonial expansion. Robert was born in 1825 and younger brother Benjamin two years later. The first railroads line were laid between London and Birmingham in 1838, giving rise to a steam powered railway boom and further fuelled the Industrial Revolution. Robert served as an engineer and constructed lines to Ruabon from Acrefair and joined his brother Benjamin in the construction of the Montgomeryshire railways and a line linking Oswestry and Newtown.
