项目摘要

The Waters Brothers : Thomas James Waters (1842.1898), John Albert Robinson Waters (1846-1902), and Joseph Henry Ernest Waters (1851-1893) were Irish born engineers, who worked for Japanese government in the beginning of Meiji Era. The author conducted field survey and documentary research in New Zealand, in Colorado, US, and on the Net, to find out to where they went and what they did after they left Japan.1.Field Survey :The author visited ruins of the mines and mining facilities, in which the Waters Brothers used to work. The author also visited railroad facilities in Colorado, among which the train station in Durango was the only surviving building constructed by J.H.Ernest Waters.2.Documentary Research :The author collected materials on the Waters Brothers at archives and libraries in New Zealand and in Colorado, and also on the Net. As a result, a tremendous amount of data has been obtained.3.ConclusionThe author calls such engineers like the Waters Brothers who, traveling between newly opened colonies, worked as generalist engineers flexibly responding to various kinds of demand in the late nineteenth century, "adventure-engineers". No matter how much they contributed to the modernization, they are likely to be unknown without being evaluated properly in the history, as they didn't stay long at one place. The Waters Brothers, in fact, had been mystery men for decades until recent studies. This project was the first attempt of the extensive overseas research on them and the data obtained, including more than 200 newspaper articles and 50 magazine articles, successfully gave us a vivid image of their life in New Zealand and in Colorado. It has also suggested us a new direction of this research. The studies on the Waters Brothers, adventure-engineers, continue to be very prospective.
沃茨兄弟:托马斯詹姆斯沃茨(1842.1898),约翰阿尔伯特罗宾逊沃茨(1846-1902)和约瑟夫亨利欧内斯特沃茨(1851-1893)是爱尔兰出生的工程师,谁为日本政府在明治时代初期。笔者在新西兰、美国科罗拉多、美国等地进行了实地调查和文献研究,并通过网络了解了他们离开日本后的去向和活动。1.实地调查:笔者参观了沃茨兄弟曾经工作过的矿山和采矿设施的废墟。作者还参观了科罗拉多的铁路设施,其中杜兰戈火车站是唯一幸存的J. H.欧内斯特·沃特斯建造的建筑。2.文献研究:作者在新西兰和科罗拉多的档案馆和图书馆以及网络上收集了关于沃茨兄弟的资料。3.结论世纪后期,像沃茨兄弟这样在新开辟的殖民地之间穿梭,灵活应对各种需求的通才工程师,笔者称之为“冒险工程师”。无论他们对中国近代化作出了多大的贡献,由于他们在一个地方停留的时间不长,很可能在历史上默默无闻,得不到应有的评价。事实上,在最近的研究之前,沃茨兄弟几十年来一直是个谜。该项目是首次尝试在海外对他们进行广泛的研究,所获得的数据,包括200多篇报纸文章和50多篇杂志文章,成功地为我们提供了他们在新西兰和科罗拉多生活的生动形象。这也为今后的研究提供了一个新的方向。对冒险工程师沃茨兄弟的研究仍然很有前景。
