Lot 284
18th century RN salvage - HMS Edgar (1668) and HMS Royal George (1756) – 3 items of salvage recovered by Maj-Gen Charles Pasley R.E. at Spithead in the early 1840s, together with a note from Sir Charles Gage Brown, describing the articles and the circumstances in which they were presented to his father, Comm. Charles Brown R.N., at Southampton in 1843. (4)Provenance – by direct descent through the Brown family.1. HMS Edgar (sunk in 1711) – a large pewter bowl with the arms of Rear Admiral Sir Hovenden Walker engraved to its rim.2. HMS Edgar (sunk in 1711) – an onion-shaped wine bottle encrusted with part of a seashell.3. HMS Royal George (sunk in 1782) – a bottle of Madeira4. Sir Charles Gage-Brown – a 300-word note explaining how the above were given to his father by Pasley, who was in charge of salvaging and clearing both vessels, which were a hindrance to the Spithead anchorage.The note from Sir Charles Gage Brown reads:Articles to be disposed of from the wreck of the HMS Royal GeorgeA large circular Bowl, brought up from the wreck of the Royal George in 1843 and presented to my father by Colonel Pasley R. E. with whom he had been associated in the blowing up and removal of the wreck, it is just in the condition in which it was recovered.It measures about 18 inches across and has a broad rim of 2 inches, and with a centre 2 in deep – on the rim is the coat of arms of the former owner. At Herald’s College I ascertained that the arms are borne a family named Walker*. I have not troubled the Admiralty by enquiring if there was an officer of that name serving in the ship at the time of the most melancholy accident, or the rank of such officer so serving. The Royal George was sunk in 1782. There are also two tablespoons just in the condition in which they were recovered.Also a quart bottle of sherry – I may as well give an incident concerning it. On the day that it was brought to my father’s house, there was a dinner party of naval officers & at dessert to which small boys were in those days admitted, he showed them this bottle. There was quite a little excitement about it and one ardent spirit persisted in having the cork drawn, a little of the wine was poured out and tasted by all, a taste was sufficient but our ardent friend was bent upon another test, and threw the remains in the glass into the fire, with the unexpected result of quite a blaze, showing how much spirit remained in it after 60 years submersion. My father had it again corked & sealed and it has never been touched since then.**HMS Edgar – blown up and sunk at Spithead 15 Oct 1711. 400 seamen and others lost – a bottle of Hock with wine in it. The old fashioned shaped Hock bottle, brought up from the wreck by Colonel Pasley R.E. in June 1843. Nearly 200 years old. Also 1lb weight, now weighing but little more than ½ lb.* Gage Brown's note erroneously ascribes the pewter bowl as being salvaged from the Royal George. It was, in fact, as the family later discovered, almost certainly raised from HMS Edgar. Gage Brown took the bowl to the Richmond Herald, Charles Athill, at the College of Arms in London on October 21st 1894 in order to confirm the arms on the bowl were those of the Royal George's Admiral, Richard Kempenfelt. It appears Gage Brown, half a decade after the salvage had been presented to his late father, had been barking up the wrong tree. Athill followed up with a letter the next day:College of ArmsQueen Victoria Street E.C.21 Oct 1894Dear Sir,With reference to the old pewter bowl which you shewed me yesterday. The Arms are not those of Admiral Kempenfelt, but belong to the family of Walker of Ilam co. Stafford. One of the Walkers was probably an officer with the "Royal George".Yours faithfully,Charles H. AthillRichmond Herald** The vendor informs us: 'The 'sherry' bottle from HMS Royal George, which is still a third full, was tasted and proven still sound in 1965 by David Rutherford of Rutherford Osborne, Shippers of Madeira, who declared it to be Madeira Sercial. The bottle from HMS Edgar still contains liquid, but I defy anyone able to drink it!'
