A HALF BLOCK BUILDER'S MODEL FOR S.S. MERANNIO (LATER PARITA) BUILT FOR Gledhill & Dishart BY GRAY OF HARTLEPOOL, 1881 the laminate hull carved with black painted topsides lacquered and lined decks and superstructure, plated fittings, including deck rails, winches, companionway etc, painted wooden ventilators, cutaway mast and funnel, the superstructure with open bridge with helm, fitted boats in davits, engine room light, covered hatches, and emergency steering gear, mounted in wooden display board -- 14 x 60in. (35.5 x 152.5cm.) An otherwise unremarkable tramp steamer, in 1939, she was Greek registered, re-named Parita and became part of the 'Aliyah Bet' campaign - illegal Jewish immigration to British Mandated Palatine. Chartered by a group of some 800 Jewish refugees and departing Marseilles in the middle of June, their original intention was to dock at Symrna, Turkey but they were turned away. So began a long meandering journey where the ship, looking for any port to take them, was rebuffed time and time again. After 11 weeks at sea, dehydrated, nearing starvation and losing patience, a group wrested control of the ship and, defying a tight British blockade, ran it up the beach at Tel Aviv in front of the Ritz Hotel on the 22nd August 1939. Although locals did what they could to help, the passengers were arrested and interned by the British. A few days later on 3rd September, War was declared.

A WALKING STICK CARVED FROM TIMBER RECOVERED FROM THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER [1859] of tapering form carved with foliate devices, silver cuff hand-inscribed ROYAL CHARTER / OCT 26 1859 / WRECKED -- 34in. (86.5cm.) long The auxiliary sailing ship Royal Charter was one of the most successful early steam vessels running to Australia during the decade following the gold rush, which began in 1851. After numerous highly profitable voyages, she left Melbourne on 26th August, 1859, homeward bound and carrying 388 passengers, 112 crew and a large cargo of bullion fresh from the goldfields. Quite apart from almost 70,000 ounces of gold valued at £273,000 and £48,000 in newly minted sovereigns, she was also carrying the personal wealth of a number of passengers who had made fortunes at the diggings. Arriving at Queenstown on 24th October after a record run of only 55 days, a large number of letters were dispatched announcing their safe arrival. As she sped up the Irish Sea, Captain Taylor ran inshore a little to allow his passengers a sight of Brunel's new monster steamship Great Eastern which was lying at Holyhead after her trials. Shortly after this minor detour, the wind started to freshen considerably. Taylor's signal rocket for a pilot at around 6.30pm. remained unanswered due to the weather and by 8.00pm. it was blowing a full gale. In an effort to gain a little more searoom, he ordered a few sails to be set but to no avail. The sheer power of the sea and the wind, which by now had veered around and was hurricane strength, was blowing Royal Charter towards the shore and her puny engine could do little to stop the drift. At 1.30am. the following morning the port anchor snapped and the starboard chain went an hour later. Swung around by the straining cable before it broke, Royal Charter was now bows on to the land and heading inshore. She grounded at about 3.30am. although little could be done to evacuate the ship until daylight. Valiant efforts to get a line for a bo'sun's chair ashore eventually succeeded, but hardly had a handful of men got off the wreck than a huge wave broke the ship in two at 7.00am. With practically all the passengers in the rear saloon, their fate was sealed; Only 40 persons survived the disaster and all were men - 22 passengers and 18 crew. Every woman and child (and Captain Taylor with all his officers) perished in the violence of the storm and those bodies which were recovered revealed the awful truth; very few had drowned, most had been battered to death on the rocky shore within feet of safety. The storm - one of the greatest of the 19th-century - became known to history as the "Royal Charter Gale".
