China 1900, 1 clasp, Taku Forts (J. Rushworth, Sto., H.M.S. Whiting), suspension claw a little slack, very fine £350-400 A total of 55 officers and ratings from H.M.S. Whiting were awarded the Medal for Taku Forts. To the destroyer H.M.S. Whiting, and her consort Fame, fell the unenviable task of capturing four Chinese destroyers lying between Taku and Tongku, which were threatening the Allied attack on the forts. Commanded respectively by Lieutenants R. Keyes, R.N. (afterwards Admiral of the Fleet) and C. MacKenzie, R.N., each ship also towed into action a whaler manned by a dozen “Bluejackets”, all of them volunteers - it was one of the last occasions boarding parties went into action with the cutlass. In his subsequent report to the Rear-Admiral, China Station, dated 27 June 1900, Keyes stated: ‘After a slight resistance and the exchange of a few shots, the crews were driven overboard or below hatches; there were a few killed and wounded; our casualties were nil. No damage was done to the prizes, but the Fame’s bow was slightly bent when we closed to board, and the Whiting was struck by a projectile about 4 or 5 inches abreast a coal bunker. This was evidently fired from a mud battery on the bend between Taku and Tongku, which fired in all about 30 shots at us, none of the others striking, though several coming very close ... There was a good deal of sniping from the dockyard so I directed all cables of the prizes to be slipped and proceeded to tow them up to Tongku.’

‘Wreck of the Valkyr’ Medal, 32mm., ornate silver medal with gold centre, this engraved, ‘W.B.M.’ (?), reverse inscribed, ‘With Gratitude from the Master & Crew of the Swedish Schooner Valkyr, 28/4/1919’, hallmarks for Birmingham 1913, good very fine £100-140 ‘The Valkyr was a Swedish three-masted schooner built in Sweden in 1901 and registered in Gothenburg. She was originally called the Valkyrien. On Saturday afternoon 26th April 1919, she was on her way from Setubal in Portugal to her home port with a cargo of sardines, cork and salt fish. Off Deal she had taken on a pilot who had taken her into the Thames Estuary, presumably to shelter from the gathering storm. The Valkyr was taken up through the Edinburgh Channel and moored close to the Edinburgh lightship, owing to a strong headwind. Later, on the 27th, the pilot moved the ship down the Black Deep and moored by the Sunk Light Vessel. By 6pm that Sunday evening a SE gale was blowing. At midnight the wind suddenly veered NE causing the Valkyr’s two anchor chains to part. The ship was now at the mercy of the gale and the Valkyr struck the Sunk Sand and about an hour later drove over it into deep water, only to find her rudder gone. The vessel drifted all night and crossed several sand banks bumping heavily. On Monday she lost her foremast and afterwards struck the Margate Sands where she was sighted the next morning. The Margate Lifeboat with Coxswain Stephen Clayson which had already been out that night to rescue 9 crew from the Dunvegan of Boston, was launched at 8am. After much difficulty, they succeeded in rescuing the Captain, the 7 crew and the pilot who were all landed at Margate Pier. The shipwrecked men were well cared for by the local agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners Society. Captain Wessburg went to the Gazette offices to thank all who had helped and later he arranged for the lifeboatmen to receive medals. During the night of Monday 28th April, the Valkyr drove across the Margate Sands and drove ashore dismasted and bow up at Minnis Bay where it was totally wrecked. Its cargo was salvaged, although many locals helped themselves to supplies of coal and tinned sardines. ...’ (Ref. Birchington Heritage Trust Newsletter, September 2004)
