AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING 10«IN. RADIUS WHALING OCTANT, PROBABLY BY D.W. LAIRD, LEITH, CIRCA 1847, unsigned, the ivory scale divided to 100§ and stamped ~WH~ by 50§, brass index arm inscribed James Clark / First Mate Whaling Barque |North of Scotland| / of Peterhead; died at NORTH GREENLAND, / 26th July, 1847., pinhole sights, three shades, mirrors and feet (lacking some minor components) -- 13in. (33cm.) high, The North of Scotland was a 297 ton whaling barque built at Sunderland in 1845. After a modest season where 4 whales and 36 seals produced 53 tuns of oil, 1847 yielded 2 whales and 5635 seals, producing 80 tuns. It seems James Clark died en route from Iceland on the 26th July 1847 aged 46 and was buried in Scotland - his widow erecting a headstone. She was buried with him in 1909 aged 90 with their three sons and wives also joining them in due course. It seems likely this octant, which has little sign of use, was presented to the widow by the owners, at present it is unknown who the scale divider ~WH~ is, and to date only one other (similar) example has been recorded and is held by the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, ref. T.1980.182 the maker~s label for David White Laird of Leith (w.1834-51).

A FINELY DETAILED 1:200 SCALE WATERLINE MODEL FOR THE HEAVY CRUISER H.M.S. EXETER AS IN FITTED IN 1942, modelled by John R. Haynes with bespoke pre-formed hull with lined decks and minutely observed fittings as appropriate and including main and secondary armament, anti-aircraft guns, fully fitted bridge with binnacles, voice tubes, range finder, communications mast with radio aerials and lanyard, signal flag racks, fitted boats on launches, Supermarine Walrus seaplane, and much other fine detailing, set on a light green-blue base with plate, glazed wooden cover, overall measurements -- 10« x 39 x 8óin. (26 x 99 x 22cm.), Exeter first came into prominence at the battle of the River Plate which ended in the destruction of the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee, in December 1939. Having sustained the full weight of the enemy~s heavy guns until her consorts, Ajax and Achillies, arrived, Exeter scraped through with four of her six 8in. guns out of action and her steering gear smashed. After a lengthy refit, early in 1942 she was in Far Eastern waters under Capt. O.L. Gordon, M.V.O., and, on February 27th she formed one of a force of cruisers and destroyers led by Rear-Admiral K. Doorman of the Royal Netherlands Navy engaged in repelling a Japanese landing in the Dutch East Indies. The Allied forces comprised, beside Exeter, the Dutch cruisers De Ruyter, (flagship) and Java, the Australian cruiser Perth, the U.S. heavy cruiser Houston, and the Dutch destroyer Kortenaer with the British destroyers Electra, Encounter and Jupiter. Not one ship of this unfortunate squadron escaped destruction. The Japanese force comprised the cruisers Nati and Haguaro, two lighter cruisers and about a dozen destroyers. Action was joined at about 4 o~clock in the afternoon, Exeter receiving a hit from an 8in. shell which caused great damage in the boiler room, putting six of her eight boilers out of action and considerably reducing her speed. In these circumstances she had no alternative than to go about for Sourabaya as she could not keep up with her consorts. At Sourabaya she made contact with the U.S. destroyer Pope and was later joined by Encounter, the three ships leaving under cover of night for Australia. For this voyage Exeter~s maximum speed was at first 15 knots, but her engine room staff worked heroically through the night and by morning three more boilers were in use and speed had increased to 26 knots. Her plight was still very grave, however, as she had expended four-fifths of her 8in. gun ammunition in the recent action and was in no condition to fight a prolonged engagement. At 9.35 on the morning of March 1st the ships ran into three Japanese cruisers and some four or five destroyers and Exeter sent out a wireless message that she was about to engage the enemy. Despite the odds the battered cruiser fought well for over two hours after which time, at just before noon, she was sunk by her crew. Her boilers had been wrecked and all her ammunition expended before she sank. The loss on board the Exeter in both actions amounted to 54 officers and men killed. The survivors were taken prisoner by the Japanese and no less than 152 of them died in captivity. Capt. Gordon, who was released at the conclusion of hostilities, had preserved his records of the action in a tube of shaving cream. The destroyer Encounter sank shortly after the cruiser, but Pope, which scored a hit on a cruiser, ran into a rain squall and was not located for more than a hour, at the end of which time she was attacked and sunk by Japanese bombers.
A FINELY DETAILED 1:192 SCALE WATERLINE MODEL FOR THE V.C. DESTROYER H.M.S. GLOWWORM AS FITTED IN 1938, modelled by John R. Haynes with bespoke pre-formed hull with minutely observed fittings as appropriate and including main and secondary armaments, fully fitted bridge with signalling masts, stayed funnels, fitted boats and launches in davits, pompom guns, search lights, torpedo, ship~s bell, name plate, etc., mounted on a light green base within a glazed case, overall measurements -- 7ó x 25¬ x 6«in. (19.5 x 64 x 16.5cm.), The destroyer Glowworm, commanded by Lt Cdr Gerald Roope, was one of the vessels engaged upon the mining of Norwegian waters to prevent their use by the Germans, more especially to interrupt the iron ore traffic between the port of Narvik and Germany. The operation began on April 8th, 1940, and coincided with the German invasion of Norway. Early on the morning of the 8th when escorting the battle cruiser Renown, Glowworm lost touch owing to one of her crew having fallen overboard. The delay was occasioned in picking up the man, together with the heavy seas which reduced the destroyer~s speed to 10 knots, allowing a German force consisting of the 10, 000 ton cruiser Hipper and four destroyers to intercept her. Action was joined at daybreak and Glowworm engaged first one and then two enemy destroyers. These vessels failed to score any hits, though the British vessel managed to get in at least one before the enemy broke off the action. Shortly afterwards the Hipper came in sight and began to shell the Glowworm. Lt Cdr Roope decided to make smoke and attack with torpedoes. This attempt failed and the more desperate plan of ramming the cruiser was put into operation and, despite a deluge of shell fire, succeeded in striking the enemy on the starboard side, though with insufficient force to cause vital damage. By this time Glowworm was a wreck and at about 10am Lt Cdr Roope gave the orders to abandon ship and the destroyer turned on her side and sank. Unfortunately, the strain of the action proved too much for the gallant commander who took to the water in an exhausted condition. He managed to reach the Hipper but failed to catch a rope thrown to him and was never seen again. He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. The Admiral Hipper~s commander, Kapit„n zur See Heye, wrote to the British authorities via the Red Cross, recommending award of the VC for his opponent~s courage in engaging a vastly superior warship. A 35-year-old Royal Navy officer, his action was the earliest awarded a Victoria Cross in the Second World War (although the award was gazetted after hostilities ended) and is one of very few to have the award justified, in part, from a recommendation and supporting evidence provided by the enemy. Of the Glowworm~s complement of eight officers and 144 ratings, seven officers and 105 ratings were killed. Lieutenant Ramsey and 39 ratings were picked up by the Germans and of the number two men died while prisoners of war.

Deployed thereafter in the Atlantic, and then Western Mediterranean, she hit another mine and beached herself to avoid sinking. Refloated and repaired, she was loaned to the Norwegian Navy as HNoMS Arendal in 1944 and purchased by them after the War. She was broken up in 1965.

(17.2 x 49cm.), carrying box, Californian was thought to be the mystery ship that slept whilst Titanic sank about ten miles away on the horizon. Although this was never proven, Captain Stanley Lord (1877-1962) - known as ~Lord of the Californian~ never recovered his reputation and was dismissed from Leyland Line in August 1912, spending the rest of his life trying to clear his name. Interestingly the deathbed confession in 1965 of a Norwegian seal smuggler called Hendrik Ness seems to confirm Lord~s story. When their ship, the S.S. Smansun, lying 4-5 miles off Titanic with a hold full of contraband, saw the first distress rockets fired they extinguished all lights and effectively disappeared - they were not fitted with wireless and Captain and crew agreed a pact of silence when they learned the shocking news in Iceland. Californian, registered at 6, 223 tons - about 40, 000 less than Titanic - was torpedoed on 9th November 1915 by U-34 61 miles southwest of Cape Matapan in passage between Salonica and Marseilles in ballast.
