HMS Amethyst. A rare Telex of congratulations from King George VI, Admiralty, 31 July 1949, for the Commander in Chief, 'Please convey to the Commanding Officer and Ship's Company of HMS Amethyst my hearty congratulations on their daring exploit to rejoin the fleet, the courage, skill and determination shown by all onboard have my highest commendation. Splice the main brace', a little spotting and toning and a few contemporary paper adhesion remains to front and back, 14 x 18cm, matted in a presentation mount with a printed description mounted beneath, overall 44 x 32.5cm (Qty: 1)The Amethyst Incident, or Yangtze Incident, involved the Royal Naval ships HMS Amethyst, HMS Consort, HMS London and HMS Black Swan during the Chinese Civil War in the summer of 1949. HMS Amethyst was ordered up the Yangtze River to act as a guard ship for the British Embassy in Nanjing when it came under fire from the Communist artillery batteries on the northern bank of the river and while attempting to evade the shelling it ran aground. During the incident 17 members of the crew were killed and 10 wounded, including the captain, Lieutenant Commander Bernard Skinner, who later died. Attempts were made by the other ships to re-float Amethyst but were all forced back by intense shellfire. The crew eventually managed to re-float the ship and establish a truce with the local Communist forces but conditions worsened for the crew with extreme heat and a shortage of rations. In early July, Amethyst slipped its anchor under cover of darkness and travelled downstream to Shanghai, negotiating treacherous sandbanks and some artillery fire. Nevertheless Amethyst reached Shanghai and rejoined the British Far East Fleet. The events of this three month ordeal were well covered by the world's press and this Telex is a rare, and possibly unique, survival.
