A close examination of printed sources and excavation reports of seven shipwrecks demonstrates the French navy’s progressive adaptation of kentledge as ballast around 1759 to 1830. Following British use, iron pigs replaced old cannon and round shot. This change in ballasting practices greatly facilitated naval logistics. Allowing for easy stowage and tessellation in the hold of military ships, the French implementation of kentledge heralded harbour modernization at a time of growing industrialization.Key words: reused cannoniron ballasttechnology transferFrench navyharbour logisticssailing skills AcknowledgementsWe wish to express our gratitude to Dr Dana Katz for her proofreading and her suggestions.

A local business partnership operating as coal-mine proprietors and ship owners acquired its first vessel around 1900. From 1902 Gumuchdjian focused on coal importing and shipping, further vessels being acquired or managed under different flags between 1910 and 1914. In the early twentieth century the Turkish coal industry and the prevailing geopolitical situations presented both opportunities and risks. These factors were shaped by external conflicts, demands for independence within the widespread territories of the Ottoman empire, rising Turkish nationalism and the empire’s decline, resulting in the declaration of the Turkish Republic in 1923. The First World War proved eventful, with vessels requisitioned for war service and sunk by Allied naval actions. As an Armenian Christian, Gumuchdjian’s personal situation became difficult, necessitating a temporary relocation to London between 1915 and 1919 and a permanent move in 1923. His London-based shipping and trading business continued until 1932, when financial and management problems led to its closure. These events are examined in relation to the external contexts and the changing fortunes of a small shipping enterprise over more than three decades.Key words: Balkan WarsFirst World WarOttoman empireTurkeyArmeniaBlack SeaAnatolian coastRussian Black Sea FleetBosphorusDardanellesSea of MarmoraRoyal NavyConstantinopleLondonshipping AcknowledgmentsThe author is grateful to Margaret and Paul Flavell for introducing him to the Gumuchdjian story and in encouraging further research.

Despatches from Paris, vol 1, 126.4 The rade at this point offered no protection from a westerly wind.5 The forts, and their armament, remained far from complete.6 Harcourt provides Melvill (Pieter baron Melvill van Carnbee, 1743–1826) with the approximately equivalent French title of chevalier.7 Harcourt is referring to the Fourth Anglo-Dutch war of 1780–84.8 Two redundant ships, the Triton (64), 1747, and the Brillant (64), 1774, were sent to Cherbourg to demonstrate the shelter provided by the breakwater and to be used as depots and barracks as required.9 Woensel uses the plural here to denote the whole of the plateau.10 This is now known as the passe Collignon. Its use was developed as a shortcut from the stone depot at Le Becquet to the breakwater site.11 Following the visit of the comte d’Artois, the king’s youngest brother, in May1786, the fort du Hommet was renamed in his honour.12 An N cardinal buoy still marks these rocks.13 This not entirely accurate idea dates back to Vauban’s Memoire sur les fortifications de Cherbourg of 1686.14 The descent of the English for a week in 1758 was another reason to fortify the rade at Cherbourg.15 This was repeatedly confirmed during the period of the breakwater’s construction, and nearly resulted in its cancellation as early as 1784.16 This is an exaggeration. A cone required around 30,000 cubic feet of timber, a frigate some 50,000 cubic feet.17 45,360 tonnes.18 A cone sunk and filled with stone cost around 300,000 livres tournois, or 15,000 pounds sterling.19 This is corroborated by the PS of Harcourt’s letter to Castries.20 Masonry was already recommended by Belidor in his Architecture hydraulique of 1753. There was much debate about how to complete the breakwater as it became apparent the cones were unable to resist wave action.21 The fort de Querqueville was still only a project at this point.22 The Service historique de la défense is today housed in this naval barracks.23 The site had been proposed as a harbour from the beginning of the eighteenth century, see Battesti, ‘Vauban thuriferaire de Cherbourg’, 75–96.
