WHOSE SURVIVORS WERE SAVED BY GRACE DARLING, 7TH SEPTEMBER, 1838, cast in brass, the domed whistle threaded to steam pipe with outlet under, now mounted to a wooden display board for wall hanging, the whistle – 12¼in. (31cm.) highProvenance: Recovered and identified by recreational divers in 1978 and allocated Droit Number 229/12 by the Receiver of Wreck in July 2014. A full account accompanies the lot.Built in Dundee in 1836 and measured at 192 tons burthen, she was 132 feet in length with a 20 foot beam and was paddle-powered from a 190hp. 2-cylinder engine. On 5th September 1838 Forfarshire left Hull, bound for Dundee, carrying both passengers and freight. Early the next morning the starboard boiler sprang a leak and the same afternoon the engines gave out completely in deteriorating weather. Instead of putting into port for repairs, Captain Humble made sail and stubbornly maintained his course until, at about 4 o'clock the following day, the ship ran aground amongst the Farne Islands and broke her back. The stern section sank immediately taking most of the passengers and six crew. The forepart with thirteen passengers lodged precariously on a rock where, just before 5.00am on the 7th September, Grace Darling finally spotted them. It was a further two hours before she and her father saw any survivors and, as he made ready to launch a boat, William Darling realised that he could not manage the task alone. Looking to Grace for assistance, she did not hesitate and the two of them made the perilous journey out to the Big Harcar Rock and rescued a woman, an injured man and three others. Once back at the Longstone lighthouse, Grace and her mother tended the distraught woman and injured man whilst her father and two of the rescued men returned to the wreck for the second time. News of the Darlings' exploits soon became known and before long Grace was the toast of the nation. The Darlings, and particularly Grace, were showered with gifts as well as the medals of various lifesaving institutions but, sadly, Grace did not live to enjoy her fame for long and died of tuberculosis in October 1842 aged just 27.

modelled by J. Evans with carved hull plated below the waterline and planked above, lowered boarding companionway and figurehead, planked decks with fittings including deck rails, bitts, catheads, capstan, stove pipe, covered hatches, deck houses with boats secured over, bilge pump, fitted boats in racks, saloon lights, compass, helm, white masts and yards with standing and running rigging with blocks, tackle and flags, and other details, mounted in glazed case with plate. Overall measurements – 8¼ x 12 x 5in. (21 x 30.5 x 12.5cm.)Thermopylæ was built in Walter Hood's yards in Aberdeen in 1868, to the order of George Thompson & Co. of London. A splendid sea boat, she was fast in any weather and especially quick at going to windward. Launched on 19th August 1868, she sailed from Gravesend on her maiden voyage to Melbourne on 7th November the same year and anchored in Port Phillip after a record run of 60 days (pilot to pilot). Continuing to make extremely fast passages throughout the 1870s, she loaded her final tea cargo at Foochow in 1881 before being transferred to the Australian wool route. During the 1880s, she frequently raced her old tea-trade rival Cutty Sark from Sydney to London, via Cape Horn with a best passage of 76 days in 1882. In 1890 Thermopylæ was sold to Canadian owners for £5,000 and from 1892 to 1895 she was used in the trans-Pacific trade. In 1896 she was resold to the Portuguese Government, renamed Pedro Nunes, and put to work as a cadet training ship. Her condition deteriorated gradually and by 1907 her working life was over. On 13th October that year, she was towed out of the Tagus into the open sea and sunk by gunfire; it was a sad end for such a thoroughbred, but she was – and has remained – one of the legends of the age of sail.

carved and hollowed from the solid with deck and back board, finished in polychrome, the port side revealing the frames and starboard as completed with galleries with pierced railings, 'glazed' windows, waste pipe and rudder top – 9¼ x 9 x 9½in. (23.5 x 22.8 x 24cm.)Built at Pembroke Dock and converted for screw propulsion whilst still on the stocks, she was launched on 14th September 1852, the day of the Duke of Wellington's death, and thus renamed in his honour two weeks later. A splendid 1st Rate measured at 3,759 tons (5,829 tons displacement), she was 240 feet in length with a 60 foot beam and 131 mounted guns of varying calibre, including 30-8in. on her gundeck and 30-32 pdrs on each of her other two decks and incorporated the new-but-unpopular rounded stern represented by this model. For her auxiliary power, she was fitted with a 700nhp. engine by Napier – removed from the iron-screw frigate Simoom when she was converted into a troopship in April 1852 – which, on her trials in April 1853, gave her a very satisfactory cruising speed of 10.15 knots. Sent to the Baltic as flagship to Admiral Sir Charles Napier's fleet for the campaign against the Russians in 1854-55, she was widely admired both for her sailing as well as her steaming qualities, although her sea-going career proved a short one, apparently, due to the age of her secondhand machinery and the indecent haste of her conversion to steam as she approached completion. After a brief spell in the Mediterranean as Second Flagship in 1856, she came home to be paid off and was then placed in reserve until 1863 when she became a receiving ship at Portsmouth. This last role proved a lengthy one and, for nearly forty years, she remained a familiar sight at her permanent mooring in the harbour there until she was sold in 1902 and finally broken up in 1909.Charles Miller Ltd is grateful to Prof. Andrew Lambert, Kings College London, for his assistance with this lot.

BUILT BY MITSUBISHI DOCKYARD AND ENGINE WORKS, NAGASAKI, CIRCA 1910 AND BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY SURVIVING PRE-1945 EXAMPLE, the laminated and carved hull finished in lacquer with bilge keels, rudder, gilt propellers and portholes, lowered and moored companionway, lined decks and hatch covers, with fittings including anchor crane and winch, capstans, ventilators, bitts, rigged derrits, white painted superstructure with bridge with search lamp over, carved and covered lifeboats in davits, stayed funnels, with safety value, extension pipe and funnel, raked masts with standing rigging and ladders, wood capped deck rails, engine room lights, multiple fire buckets, mushroom ventilators, water buckets, emergency helms, telegraphs and binnacle and much other fine detailing, mounted on four turned baluster supports to painted display base with dual ivorine builder's plates in Japanese and English (restoration and some replaced parts) – 44 x 144in. (112 x 366cm.) together with a folder of data and letters from Mitsubishi regarding history etc.; and including a contemporary advertising brochure (2)Provenance: Brussels World's Fair, 1910 (Japanese Pavillion); Museum of Human Knowledge, Brussels, 1910-closure; Private owner-1997; 1997-date Private Collector, BelgiumLaunched on the 18th February 1911 with her maiden voyage on August 26th that year, Shinyo Maru was the third and last of a class of crack turbine liners built between 1908-10 for the Toyo Kisen Line which was competing strongly for trans-Pacific traffic against the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company. Measuring 575ft with a breadth of 63ft. she displaced nearly 22,000 tons and her triple screws gave her a brisk speed of 21 knots. The company went so far as to state in their own literature that The three steamships undoubtedly represent, on the Pacific, the high standard maintained by the "Mauretania" and the "Lusitania" on the Atlantic. Luxuriously appointed throughout to top Western specifications, they were elegantly furnished with Oriental-style Western furniture and decor and could accommodate 210 First; 57 Second and 754 Third Class passengers. Plying a regular route between Hong Kong and San Francisco, in 1926 the Toyo Line was taken over by Nippon Yusen and from 1932 she was laid up, eventually broken up in 1936. This model is a scarce survivor - modelled in the English style, there are several distinctly Japanese elements - such as the lacquered hull and rudder, and the multiple chain stays applied to the funnels. Having been displayed at the World's Fair in Brussels in 1910, it seems that it was donated to a local museum. As a consequence it survived the atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki in 1945 and which incinerated every other Mitsubishi model.This model will be available for viewing at Imperial Road
