Abstract
"But always good bulletins": Paul Scarceriaux and the Belgian Nautical Research Association
In December 1949, fifty years ago, the very first bulletin of the Belgian Nautical Research Association (better known as the BNRA) was published. A quarter of a century later, almost 25 years ago, the unexpected death of Paul Scarceriaux was to bring the unusual success story of this remarkable association of "advanced shiplovers and scholars" to a close. For it was mainly thanks to Paul Scarceriaux that the BNRA became the most efficient international association of amateur historians ever known to the field. Without exaggeration, the contents of the 156 published volumes of the BNRA journal – The Belgian Shiplover (TBS) – may be regarded as one of the most important reference works to have appeared in the literature on warships and trading ships until the present day.
The key to the international academic success of the BNRA was the towering personality of its founder and president Paul Scarceriaux. On being appointed editor of The Belgian Shiplover in 1957, he went to great lengths of personal commitment to transform the initially Belgian-only BNRA into the international association outlined above. Indeed, thanks to Paul's integrative personality, this transformation phase was to succeed within just a few years. He also successfully oversaw the second more difficult phase, which was to motivate as many members as possible to contribute to the TBS.
One special method he made his own was as simple as it was effective. By letter and by phone he maintained continual personal contact with the active membership of the BNRA all over the world, thus giving them the feeling that they were personal friends.
At his home in Brussels, visitors were always made to feel welcome and treated with the great hospitality by Paul's wife, Yvonne. The two together – Paul and Yvonne Scarceriaux – may rightfully be regarded as the heart and soul of the BNRA, a metaphor which helps to explain why Paul's sudden death in 1974 was to signal the end of the BNRA.
What Paul and his comrades achieved in the 25 years of the BNRA's existence – in the little spare time they had and without the aid of the not-yet-ubiquitous personal computer – can, perhaps, be derived from the following facts and figures. Of the approximately 350 members of the BNRA from 24 countries, about one third of them were active authors or collaborators. In the course of 156 issues and an overall total of 10,542 pages, The Belgian Shiplover went on to publish no fewer than 748 very different ship lists from 45 different countries – mostly shipping company lists with a complete "curriculum vitae" for each ship. All these pieces of work were pioneer achievements in themselves and are still used as important source information even today ... not least by many former TBS contributors, when writing their own now numerous standard works.
