modelled by J. Evans with carved hull plated below the waterline and planked above, lowered boarding companionway and figurehead, planked decks with fittings including deck rails, bitts, catheads, capstan, stove pipe, covered hatches, deck houses with boats secured over, bilge pump, fitted boats in racks, saloon lights, compass, helm, white masts and yards with standing and running rigging with blocks, tackle and flags, and other details, mounted in glazed case with plate. Overall measurements – 8¼ x 12 x 5in. (21 x 30.5 x 12.5cm.)Thermopylæ was built in Walter Hood's yards in Aberdeen in 1868, to the order of George Thompson & Co. of London. A splendid sea boat, she was fast in any weather and especially quick at going to windward. Launched on 19th August 1868, she sailed from Gravesend on her maiden voyage to Melbourne on 7th November the same year and anchored in Port Phillip after a record run of 60 days (pilot to pilot). Continuing to make extremely fast passages throughout the 1870s, she loaded her final tea cargo at Foochow in 1881 before being transferred to the Australian wool route. During the 1880s, she frequently raced her old tea-trade rival Cutty Sark from Sydney to London, via Cape Horn with a best passage of 76 days in 1882. In 1890 Thermopylæ was sold to Canadian owners for £5,000 and from 1892 to 1895 she was used in the trans-Pacific trade. In 1896 she was resold to the Portuguese Government, renamed Pedro Nunes, and put to work as a cadet training ship. Her condition deteriorated gradually and by 1907 her working life was over. On 13th October that year, she was towed out of the Tagus into the open sea and sunk by gunfire; it was a sad end for such a thoroughbred, but she was – and has remained – one of the legends of the age of sail.

modelled by John R. Haynes with a bespoke pre-formed dazzle-finished hull with pennant number 'K18' to bow and stern, lined and painted decks and superstructure complete with fittings and armament as appropriate, set in a moulded and painted seascape with brass detail plaque on display base with glazed wooden cover. Measurements overall - 5½ x 17¼ x 4½in. (14 x 44 x 11.5cm.)As the threat of War with Germany became ever more likely the Royal Navy urgently needed a class of escort vessels to counter the U-boats they knew would harry convoys. In the end 145 'Flower Class' corvettes were built by various Allied yards between 1939-45, displacing less than 1000 tons, each was lightly armed with a single 4in. gun (and four machine guns) and depth charges in twin racks. Campanula was built by Fleming & Fergusson Ltd, Paisley, was commissioned in May 1940, and she saved many lives from torpedoed merchantmen during the hostilities. Her most famous officer was the successful and prolific author Nicholas Monserrat R.N.V.R. (1910-79) who recalled his time aboard in his novel The Cruel Sea in which Campanula became H.M.S. Compass Rose. Campanula was broken up in 1947.

* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013), THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA - THE DEPARTUREoil on canvas, signed, further signed, titled and dated '87 verso172cm x 151cm (approx 68 x 60 inches)FramedProvenance: Ex Collection of Ruth and Jerome Siegel (USA)Note: Bellany had first read Ernest Hemmingway's "The Old Man And The Sea" when he was a student and he described it as having 'hit a nerve inside'. The story obsessed Bellany and it became seminal to many of his smaller paintings, etchings and prints. This painting was first exhibited at The Compass Gallery (Glasgow) in Bellany's THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA Exhibition (1987). This painting was also published as a signed limited edition print by Berkeley Square Gallery, London (now Osborne Samuel Gallery). THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA - THE DEPARTURE was acquired by Jerome and Ruth Siegel (1987) who owned one of the finest private collections of contemporary art in America. Their multi-million dollar collection included examples by most of the great post war American and European artists and individual paintings from the collection have sold in recent years for approaching $4,000,000. Ruth founded and led Art Latitude Gallery and the Ruth Siegel Art Gallery (New York), where she nurtured and brought to prominence major young American artists. She gave Bellany a major solo show in New York in 1988 and again in 1990. Ruth Siegel was a board member of MoMA PS1 and the Museum of Arts and Design. There is much on the internet about Jerome and Ruth Siegel their lives, the art collection and their philanthropic activities.
