One of his most illustrious clocks, and rightly described as his masterpiece, is the walnut longcase situated in Powderham Castle, with a case quite probably made by the Channon family, cabinet makers to the castle. Stumbels first established himself as a clockmaker at Aveton Gifford where he and Sarah Phillips were married on the 12th of November 1716, moving to Totnes in 1729. Sarah died in 1767 followed by William in 1769 being buried at Totnes on Christmas Day. J.K. Bellchambers, in Devonshire Clockmakers, describes William Stumbles as probably the most brilliant clockmaker of his time outside London.Many fine clocks are recorded signed by Stumbels, mainly longcase clocks but also turret clocks which are situated in both country estates and churches. A number of Stumbels clocks incorporate elaborate striking and chiming mechanisms, along with detailed equation-work, often set within the arch.Reference: Clive N.

'THE WRECK OF H.M.S. LUTINE..' CIRCA 1897a manuscript book outlining her history and of the various attempts to salvage the Lutine over seventy-five pages and including hand-drawn charts, drawings, annotated sepia-toned photographs, several pages of press clippings regarding the salvage operations, with a letter of provenance dated 1897 pasted inside front cover from the "Lutine Syndicate" with details of the author, a Mr Fletcher, and another dated 1952 presenting the volume to an association, bound oak boards (the front inset with copper roundel) salvaged from the wreck -- 9¾ x 6¼in. (25 x 16cm.)Of the four French ships called La Lutine captured or surrendered over a thirteen-year period at the end of the eighteenth century, only the second became H.M.S. Lutine and it is her bell which hangs in Lloyds. Originally a frigate of 36 guns, she was launched at Toulon in 1785 and was one of a number surrendered to Admiral Lord Hood in 1793 by French Royalists keen not to let them fall into the hands of the revolutionaries. After a refit in Gibraltar, she returned to England under the command of William Haggit and entered the Navy List as H.M.S. Lutine. Four years later and now under the command of Captain Lancelot Skynner, she sailed from the Yarmouth Roads laden with £1.5m of merchant's gold and coin for payment of British troops in Holland. Setting sail on the 8th of October, a strong gale whipped up after midnight and she struck a sandbank between Terschelling and Vlieland and sank immediately with all hands lost, save two who died shortly afterwards. Salvage attempts began almost immediately with perhaps £100,000 being raised by the end of the century. The famous bell now hangs in Lloyds and from 1859 until recently when a crack was discovered, was sounded every time one of their underwritten ships' foundered.

Lot 240

A FINELY DETAILED AND PRESENTED 1:75 SCALE MODEL OF THE ARCTIC AND POLAR EXPLORATION VESSEL FRAM [1892]the 20in. hull planked over a former with retractable propeller and rudder with reinforced bow and stern, planked decks with details including capstan, winches, ventilators, anchors, deck lights, bilge pumps, companionways, retractable funnel with hooter, four covered lifeboats and davits, binnacle, helm on steering gear with chains, masts with standing and running rigging, yards and lightning conductors, ship's bell, mounted on ebonized cradle stand within the glazed case -- 28 x 34½ x 13in. (71 x 87.5 x 33cm.) overall Fram ("Forward"), built in 1892, was designed by Colin Archer (1832-1921) a Norwegian naval architect born to Scottish émigré parents to the express order of Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), the 'grandfather' of Norwegian polar exploration, for his 1893-96 polar expedition. Learning from previous failed attempts, Nansen instructed Archer to create a vessel like no other: I propose to have a ship built as small and as strong as possible - just big enough to contain supplies.. for twelve men for five years.. The main point is that it be built on such principles as to enable it to withstand the pressure of ice... Instead of nipping the ship, the ice must raise if up out of the water. Massively built, smooth-sided and double-ended, without a keel or garboard strakes, the stem was 4ft thick, the frames 21in. wide and planked in 30-year-old 13in. oak. She measured just 127ft with a 34ft beam and 15ft draft displacing 402 tons. Rigged as a schooner but fitted with an auxiliary engine with enough coal for four months steaming, she was mainly used with sails and, whilst sea-worthy, the absence of a keel allowed her to corkscrew and roll nearly all the time, and she was undoubtedly slow. She was in her true element when icebound and Nansen, and later Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) who brought Fram out of retirement in 1910 both returned home happy, healthy and triumphant from their respective expeditions. Fram has been preserved since 1936 at Bygdøy, Oslo, Norway.Fine overall condition.
