THE LAUNCHING MALLET AND CHISEL FOR H.M.S. CHALLENGER, 1858 each carved and inscribed in relief H.M.S. Challenger, Nos. 138. & 139. -- 10in. (25.5cm.) highFootnote: Challenger was built at Woolwich in 1858. Classed as a screw corvette and ship-rigged on three masts, she displaced 2,306 tons. Originally armed with twenty 8in. guns and two huge 68-pounders, she pursued an active naval career for 14 years before being converted into a survey ship in 1872. The largest vessel ever supplied for an oceanographic expedition up to that date, Challenger was placed under the command of Captain George Nares. Sailing from Sheerness on 7th December 1872 and carrying a team of six distinguished civilian scientists, the first ten months of the voyage were spent in the Atlantic which the ship crossed three times. After a seven-week stay at Cape Town, Challenger departed for the Southern Ocean on 17th December 1872 and, shortly after Christmas, made a brief stopover at Kerguelen Island, roughly midway between South Africa and Australia although much nearer the Antarctic Continent in latitude 50ºS. When the ship finally dropped anchor at Spithead on 24th May 1876, she had travelled an extraordinary 68,890 miles. The information gathered during the three-and-a-half year expedition, particularly from the deep soundings of the ocean floors, was of immense importance and, once the multi-volumed report was published, both ship and her commander achieved considerable acclaim. She was retired in 1880 and relegated to a harbour hulk at Chatham where she remained useful until finally sold out of the Service in 1921.
THE LAUNCHING CASKET FOR H.M.S. ODIN, 1901 ornately carved in oak with dolphin corner supports, the hinged lid with inset 4¼ x 8in. glazed watercolour of Odin under steam with title and launching party detailed under, signed 'A Townsend' lower right, plush-lined interior containing carved boxwood ceremonial mallet and chisel; together with a manuscript launching speech note -- 7 x 15½ x 11½in. (18 x 39.5 x 29cm.)Footnote: One of six 'Cadmus' class sloops all built at Sheerness, Odin was launched on 30th November, 1901 by Mrs A.H. Markham (Lady Dora (1875-1962), the wife of the naval officer Albert Hastings Markham (1841-1918) who was captain of Camperdown when it rammed Admiral Tryon's Flagship Victoria in 1893; was part of the 1875-6 Nares Arctic expedition and served on the Council of the R.G.S. for many years with his cousin, Sir Clements Markham; on 1st November 1901 he was made Commander-in-Chief, the Nore). Displacing 1070 tons, she was steel-built but clad in wood to about three feet above the waterline and was provided with triple expansion engines yielding 13.25kts, a little over their design speed. This class was the last built for the RN with sailing rigs, although some were never equipped with their sails. Her sister, Espiegle (launched December 1900), is credited as the last RN ship to be issued with a figurehead. Armed with six 4in. and four 3pdr machine guns and a searchlight, they mostly served on Eastern policing duties. Come the Great War, Odin, together with her sisters and assorted gunboats, began operations of the River Tigris and assisted at a string of captures in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq): Basra (22/11/14); Quarra (9/12/14) and Kut-al'Amara (3/6/15) during which Odin sank the Turkish Marmoris on 2nd June; and Nasiriya (25/7/15). Returning to patrol work for the duration of the War, on 5th March 1917 she pursued the German raider Iltis which scuttled herself rather than be captured. Her last flourish was a three-week combined services operation in January-February 1920 (which included H.M.S. Ark Royal and the landing of the Camel Corps) against Mohammed Abdullah Hassan (the 'Mad Mullah' 1868-1920) of Somaliland whose forces were finally vanquished once and for all. Odin was sold for breaking in Bombay in November the same year.Condition report: Right hand suport for chisel missing.
THE LAUNCHING SET FOR H.M.S. SANS PAREIL (1851) comprising an etched chisel inscribed SANS PAREIL Launched 18 March 1851 / SOPHIA GAGE, and a mallet, contained in original fitted box with manuscript specifications pasted to the base, together with a ticket for 'Seat No. 1.' to the launch -- 10¾in. (27.5cm.) wide; together with some historical data (a lot)Footnote: Named after her famous predecessor captured at the Battle of the Glorious First of June 1794, the second Sans Pareil was a wooden 2nd rate of 70 guns, converted to steam on the stocks and launched at Devonport Dockyard by the Port Admiral Sir William Hall Gage's daughter. Displacing 3,800 tons and measuring 200 feet in length, she was commissioned in June 1852 and sent to serve with the Mediterranean fleet under Capt. Dacres. Transferred to the Black Sea fleet in 1854, she participated in the first Bombardment of Sebastopol on 17th October 1854, thereafter serving as a munitions ship and latterly on the China and East Indies stations, she was sold for breaking in March 1867.
