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.

THE MAIN BELL FROM THE S.Y. IOLANDA , DESIGNED BY COX & KING FOR MORTON PLANT N.Y.Y.C. AND BUILT BY RAMAGE & FERGUSON, LEITH, 1908 cast in brass with moulded shoulder and rim, inset name and date with decorative device between, painted red internally with iron clapper -- 15in x 14½in. (38 x 37cm.) One of the most distinctive yachts of her time with a high superstructure and tall, graceful funnel, she was luxuriously appointed and, shortly after accepting her from her builders, her new owner took her on a 33,000 mile cruise to the Mediterranean and Far East. After World War I she was managed by Camper & Nicholson for chartering before being sold to the U.S. banker Moses Taylor. During World War II she served as a survey ship and renamed White Bear for the duration. Sold into commercial service in 1947 she disappears from Lloyd's Register by 1953. Morton Plant owned several shipping lines and Iolanda was one of four steam yachts and two large racing yachts he maintained. He seems to have had connections with the Italian Royal Family as one of his racing yachts was named Elena after the Queen, and Iolanda was the Italian Princess Royal.

Ltd. The Shell Mex 2 was broken up by Thomas Ward in November 1936.

THE SHIP'S BELL FROM H.M.S. AFRICA (1905) THE FIRST SHIP FROM WHICH AN AIRCRAFT WAS SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED, 10TH JANUARY, 1912 cast in brass with red-filled lettering inscribed H.M.S. AFRICA and loop suspension ( suspension adapted from crown type; clapper later ) -- 13 x 12½in. (33 x 32cm.); together with iron bracket for wall suspension One of eight King Edward VII Class battleships, Africa was built at Chatham Dockyard and launched 20th May 1905 being completed and commissioned in November 1906. Despite displacing nearly 16,000 tons and being given an impressive armament lead by four 12in. guns, she was rendered all but obsolete by the revolutionary Dreadnought which completed just a month later. After initial service in the Atlantic and Channel fleets, she returned to Chatham as flagship in 1911 but was relieved of this by her sister King Edward VII that November. Thus, when in January 1912 the Admiralty (sensing that aircraft may have an important future role with the navy) needed a ship to adapt for their experiments, Africa was available. Anchored in the River Medway, she was fitted with a 100ft downward-sloping ramp extending from foredeck to bow and tested for strength by the crew jumping up and down on it. Lt Charles Samson (1883-1931) climbed into the cockpit of a Gnome-engined Short Improved S.27 pusher seaplane and, on 10th January 1912, successfully completed the world's first powered flight from a ship. The aircraft moved quickly down the runway, dipped slightly after leaving it, but then pulled up and climbed easily. Samson circled Africa several times to the cheers of the crew and, after a few minutes, landed safely at an airfield ashore. It was a tentative start, but shipborne aviation had begun and by 1917 was an important part of naval operations. Africa survived the Great War (although 52 of her 800 crew were lost to Spanish Flu in September 1918), was placed in reserve in November 1918 and broken up at Newcastle in 1920.
