“Joshua Burrows Hyde (1809-1887) — The American Connection and the British Hale Rocket,” Space Chronicle (British Interplanetary Society), Vol. 71, No. 3, November 2018, pp. 97-125. [Note: The fact that in 1845 Hyde was a passenger on the SS Great Britain, the first iron steamship to cross the Atlantic, and that also carried the first shipment of the British Hale war rockets to the U.S. at the time, greatly interested the SS Great Britain Trust that is responsible for maintaining, documenting, and commemorating the vessel that still exists as a museum ship, situated in Bristol Harbour, England. Consequently, this article was used by the Great Britain Trust to produce a shorter article on Hyde as one of the vessel's passengers and may be found at their web site.]
