THE MAIN SHIP'S BELL FROM THE ALGERINE CLASS MINESWEEPER PINCHER (J294), BUILT BY HARLAND & WOLFF, 1943 cast in brass with moulded rim, ebonised crown top suspension, black-filled lettering inscribed PINCHER over an arc dated '1943', with Government broad arrow mark to reverse, white-painted interior with clapper staple ( lacking clapper ) -- 13 x 13in. (33 x 33cm.); mounted on a later wooden stand -- 18 x 20in. (46 x 51cm.) Provenance: The Algerine Association. Essentially an enlarged 'Bangor' Class vessel, ultimately 110 of these 950 ton ships were built by yards in the UK and Canada between 1941-45. Originally intended to be turbine powered, supply issues meant that only twenty-seven were thus built, including Pincher , the rest were VTE (vertical triple expansion) engined, however both types were capable of developing 16.5 knots. Armed with a single 4in. quick-firing gun and four 40mm Bofors, they needed up to 138 crew to man them. Only half a dozen were lost on active service, including the name-ship of the Class to an Italian submarine, and most were used as anti-submarine escorts. Most of the surviving ships were sold for breaking in the 1960s with Pincher broken at Dunston in March 1962.
AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING 2-DAY MARINE CHRONOMETER BY KELVIN, WHITE & HUTTON EVACUATED FROM THE FALL OF SINGAPORE ABOARD H.M.S. BULAN , 11 FEBRUARY, 1942 the 4in. silvered dial signed as per title, inscribed and numbered 11 Billiter St. London 5469 (1919) and impressed with Govt. broad arrow mark, blued steel hands, the Mercer movement mounted between spotted plates stamped TM10771 with Harrison's maintaining power, Earnshaw escapement, bi-metallic standard balance with hellical balance spring, contained within lacquered brass counter-numbered bowl with key shutter stamped H.S.1, gimbal mounted within two-tier wooden box with numbered ivorine maker's plate to front, Singapore adjuster's label inside lid for Sept. 1940, and brass carry handles, contained within guard box of issue. Overall measurements -- 9 x 13 x 9½in. (23 x 33 x 24cm.) The Bulan (Malay for 'moon') was built in 1924 for P&O by Alexander Stephens & Sons for their Malayan feeder service. Registered at 1,048 tons, she shared a weekly run with her consort the Mata Hari between Singapore and Penang calling at the Malacca Straits ports and carrying rubber and local cargo. In September 1939 she was absorbed into the Royal Navy and initially used for patrol duties with the Malayan Auxiliary Fleet before removing essential refinery equipment from Sarawak to Singapore and was present at Singapore in December 1941 for the first Japanese attack. At this point her native crew were replaced with survivors from the sunk H.M.S. Prince of Wales . In February 1942 she rescued the crew of the S.S. Pina, which had been sunk by Japanese dive bombers, and a Hurricane pilot who had been shot down. On 11th February she left Singapore crammed with refugees bound for Batavia, arriving on the 15th (the day Singapore capitulated) despite being bombed en-route. She departed the same day for Colombo with 300 sailors and an unserviceable Walrus plane. Eventually making her way back to England, in 1944 this instrument was sent to Mercer for servicing before transfer to the Hydrographic Office who issued it to the Bombay Naval Base where it was used by H.M.S. Crispin until its return to the UK in the late 1940s.
