Lot 273
modelled by G. Cheikhet from his own detailed researches the bespoke fibreglass hull with planked deck and bulwarks, gold-plated armament and fittings including decorated bow and stern, anchors on brackets, a finely-realised 10in. muzzle-loading rifled Armstrong gun mounted in bow, deck rings, winches, coal shute covers, deck lights, capstan, ventilators, helm with heat shield, bilge pump, funnel with whistle, engine room light surrounded by shell cases, companionways, water casks and other details, mounted on two turned gilt pedestals within glazed wooden case, the model – 13 x 31in. (33. x 79cm.) Originally developed as coastal defence vessels, flatirons were unusual for the time in having no rigged 'back-up' to their coal-fired engines. Somewhat ungainly in appearance, their sole armament was a single 10in. muzzle-loading rifled gun by Armstrong located in the bow. Whilst they were slow, cumbersome, and not considered a great success, about thirty were made over three decades and they generally ended up in harbour service or as tenders. Griper was one of four in this class built by Pembroke Dockyard, displaced 254 tons, measured 85ft x 26ft and her 2 cylinder reciprocating engine pushed her along at a stately 8½ knots. Sold in 1923 she was renamed Flora before changing hands - and continents in 1933, and spent her remaining years as Afrikander, being broken up at Cape Town in 1951.
Lot 274
modelled by John R. Haynes with a bespoke pre-formed dazzle-finished hull with pennant number 'K18' to bow and stern, lined and painted decks and superstructure complete with fittings and armament as appropriate, set in a moulded and painted seascape with brass detail plaque on display base with glazed wooden cover. Measurements overall - 5½ x 17¼ x 4½in. (14 x 44 x 11.5cm.)As the threat of War with Germany became ever more likely the Royal Navy urgently needed a class of escort vessels to counter the U-boats they knew would harry convoys. In the end 145 'Flower Class' corvettes were built by various Allied yards between 1939-45, displacing less than 1000 tons, each was lightly armed with a single 4in. gun (and four machine guns) and depth charges in twin racks. Campanula was built by Fleming & Fergusson Ltd, Paisley, was commissioned in May 1940, and she saved many lives from torpedoed merchantmen during the hostilities. Her most famous officer was the successful and prolific author Nicholas Monserrat R.N.V.R. (1910-79) who recalled his time aboard in his novel The Cruel Sea in which Campanula became H.M.S. Compass Rose. Campanula was broken up in 1947.
Lot 286
15FT:1IN. SCALE, DESIGNED BY SIR ROBERT SEPPINGS, 1819, with cherry frames pierced with gun ports and pinned boxwood stringing and internal stretchers, mounted at an angle on keel blocks in a finely-realised dockyard slipway with lined boxwood pavements interspersed with sandpaper 'shingle', twin access steps and bitts, within removable glazed wooden cover with turned pilasters and securing hooks. Cased measurements overall – 7¾ x 15¾ x 5¾in. (19.5 x 40 x 14.5cm.)This new class of ship was the first to introduce Seppings' revolutionary rounded bow - a far stronger and more versatile bow that did away with the delicate and vulnerable head rails traditionally deployed. It meant that more, and heavier, gun types could be carried in an arc around the bow and gave a drier and more rigid passage underway. Latterly the design was extended to include a rounded stern - as seen in lot 285 and, whilst these perhaps represent the apogee of sailing naval design, they were unpopular with their commanders for looking too ugly, despite their many advantages.Charles Miller Ltd is grateful to Prof. Andrew Lambert, Kings College London, for his assistance with this lot.
