Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

La campagne de 1872 du Franz met en avant un certain nombre de points concernant la transformation de la pêche australienne de coquilles perlières au 19ème siècle.En 1872, ses modes de fonctionnement, ses relations sociales et ses arrangements financiers étaient quasi-identiques à ceux pratiqués auparavant dans le Pacifique occidental dans la pêche à la baleine et dans les idustries du bois de santal et de la bêche de mer (trépang).Cependant, les rapports humains à bord se transformaient tant la pêche demandait un investissement accru et une main d'oeuvre plus expérimentée.Les capitaines des bateaux de pêche de coquilles perlières devaient faire face à des régimes de normalisation changeant et à des décalages des centres d'influence vers des frontières maritimes lointaines.Tout manquement de s'y adapter pouvait prouver désastreux.On 2 July 1872 the 148-ton schooner Franz, under the command of the Prussian Edwin Redlich, cleared from Sydney on a pearl-shelling cruise to Torres Strait.News of the discovery of rich pearl-shell beds in the strait had first reached Sydney late in 1869 when William Banner of the brig Pakeha returned with 50 tons of highly prized Pinctada maxima, the large silver or gold lip shell that would soon make the north Australian grounds the richest source of mother-of-pearl in the world.Banner's cargo, collected in a few weeks from shallow water adjacent to his bêche-de-mer (trepang) station at Tutu Island, fetched between £150 and £180 a ton in Sydney, and was worth at least £7,500.This represented a spectacular profit and sparked a rush of Sydney vessels to the strait.In 1871 Australasian Packet collected 20 tons of shell in just three weeks, Kate Kearney 21 tons in two months.By 1872 there were 20 vessels with 500 boat crew and divers working the Torres Strait grounds. 2 Franz however, was not among them.Although the 1 This article first appeared in The Mariner's Mirror Vol. 90 (3) August, 2004, pp.273-289, under the title "The 1872-3 Cruise of the Pearl-Shelling Schooner Franz: Reordering the Southwest Pacific Maritime Trade," and is reprinted with the kind permission of the Honorary Editor. 2

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
