A LARGE SHIP'S BELL FROM THE GLASGOW & DERRY STEAM PACKET CO. PADDLE STEAMER FOYLE, 1848 with moulded rim and cast lettering and date to front, the top with suspension lug, complete with clapper – 19 x 16in. (48 x 40.5cm.)Footnote: Launched in January 1848 to the order of the Glasgow & Derry Steam Packet Company, the Foyle was built by Cairds of Greenock in their Cartsdyke yard. Designed to carry both cargo and passengers from the Clyde to Londonderry, she was an iron-hulled paddle steamer registered at 796 tons gross (535 net) and measuring 196 feet in length with a 26-foot beam. Costing approximately £25,000, her builders fitted her with one of their own 350nhp side-lever engines and she began her career in the Spring of 1848. After barely a year in service, however, she was laid up at Greenock in February 1849 pending sale and, early the following year, was sold to the British & Irish Steam Packet Company for their prestigious Dublin to London service. Soon settling into her new routine, Foyle maintained this service into London until 12th September 1866 when, whilst proceeding through Barking Reach in the River Thames, she was in collision with the brand-new passenger-cargo steamer Collingwood. The Collingwood, launched earlier that year, was operating a regular Tyne to London schedule and although she was unscathed by the collision, Foyle was badly damaged and sank, although there are no reports of casualties.Condition report: fine overall condition

(160 x 61 x 138.5cm.)Footnote: Provenance: De-accessioned from Russell-Cotes Museum, Bournemouth, 2021. Loch Etive was one of the celebrated fleet of wool clippers owned by the General Shipping Company’s ‘Loch Line’ in the final quarter of the 19th century. One of four essentially identical sisters launched for the line in 1877 (the others being Loch Ryan, Loch Shiel & Loch Sloy), Loch Etive was built on the Clyde by A. & J. Inglis at Glasgow and proved a very successful addition to the company’s fleet. Registered in Glasgow at 1,288 tons gross (1,235 net) and measuring 227 feet in length with a 36 foot beam, she was designed with two decks for maximum stowage and was constructed with a stout iron hull to withstand the worst rigours of the Southern Oceans. Loch Etive entered service under the command of the estimable Captain William Stuart, who had made his reputation in the famous Tweed, but although “he drove her unmercifully”, she was not destined to be a record-breaker despite being faster than many of her contemporaries. On her maiden passage out in 1878, she made the run from the Scillies to Sydney in an excellent 76 days, with an equally good 79 days (out of Glasgow) in 1881. Probably her best passage was in 1892 when she left Glasgow on 15th October and berthed in Melbourne on Christmas Day after a cracking run of only 70 days. Then, loading a full cargo of wool, she cleared Melbourne on 26th January 1893 and arrived in London docks on 29th April, 93 days out and a very creditable time for the homeward leg. The following year (1894) proved a turning point in Loch Etive’s career however when, on 21st September, Captain Stuart died at sea 5 days out from Glasgow. In the opinion of Basil Lubbock, the acclaimed authority on British commercial sail, Stuart was “without a doubt, one of the most successful captains in the history of our Mercantile Marine”. As for Loch Etive herself, she seemed to lose her sparkle after Stuart’s death and his successor, Captain Fishwick, was never able to get the best out of her. Eventually cut down to a barque in the early 1900s, she was converted to a hulk after her sale to French owners in 1911 for £1,350 and was finally broken up at Genoa some years later.Condition report: Fine overall condition.
