A WELL-PRESENTED 1:48 SCALE BUILDER’S-STYLE MODEL OF THE R.S.S. SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH, BUILT BY CAMMELL LAIRD FOR THE UK RESEARCH & INNOVATION DEPT., 2021modelled by W. Brogan with 38in. box-section frames planked overall and complete with twin five-blade brass propellers and rudders, bow thrusters, Plimsoll markings, green decks with painted wood and metal fittings as appropriate, coated wire deck rails, subsidiary vessels inset on davits, the stern with field trip research vessel Boaty McBoat Face with davit and crane, stepped multi-section glazed bridge with communication and navigation arrays and other details, mounted to display base with name plate within plexiglass glazed wooden case. Overall measurements -- 23¾ x 45 x 14½in. (60 x 114.5 x 37cm.)Built by Cammell Laird at a cost of £200m and launched by the Duchess of Cambridge in 2018, the R.S.S. Sir David Attenborough is the most advanced addition to the British Antarctic Survey's fleet. Unusually it is her tender which, initially at least, briefly out-shone her illustrious mother ship when it had to be named Boaty McBoatface in deference to a public vote on naming the ship and which, as a result of a viral campaign, won the competition hands down. This model was constructed with unique access to the builder's plans and is one of a pair, the other being for the builder's use.Fine overall condition

Overall measurements -- 38 x 42 x16in. (96.5 x 107 x 40.5cm.) National Maritime Museum Caird Collection, 1937, Cat No. 1743-2; de-accessioned 1993 and sold: Sotheby's, Marine Pictures and Nautical Works of Art, 16th July 1993 lot 444; Kriegstein Collection; with Hyland Granby Antiques; Private European Collection.Literature: Waite, A.H. National Maritime Museum Catalogue of Ship Models to 1815. H.M.S.O. circa 1970., p.95 where notes read The model is probably the work of an 18th century amateur craftsman but the proportions are reasonably good. Its general appearance, disposition of the gun-ports etc. suggests a 24 gun, 6th Rate of the 1741 Establishment, but the hull is a little too fine to represent an actual ship. The rigging is probably 19th century but although on the heavy side it is approximately correct for the period.

WAGER [1734]the planked and pinned 28in. hull painted white below the waterline, ebonised wales and carved gunwales, raised gun port lids with brass rings and oxidized brass guns run out, laminated rudder with pintles and chains, finely carved lion figurehead, stern and quarterlights, four anchors with bound wooden stocks, planked decks with fittings including stove chimney, belfry, gratings with shot rack surrounds, well deck with suite of three fully fitted ships boats over, the poop with double ten-spoke helm rigged to whip-staff, belaying rails with pins and other details, three bound first-stage masts with platforms, standing rigging and ratlines, mounted on cradle stand to green cloth display base with plate within Plexiglass wooden case. Overall measurements -- 25 x 43½ x 14in. (63.5 x 110.5 x 35.5cm.)H.M.S. Wager was a 28-gun East Indiaman purchased specifically for Commodore George Anson's ambitious but ill-fated six-ship expedition against Spanish Pacific outposts at the start of the War of Jenkins' Ear. Chronically undermanned, the squadron, led by Anson in Centurion, departed Portsmouth on September 18th, 1740 with crews including 260 invalids from Chelsea Hospital and 210 untrained marines. Raising St. Catherines Island off Brazil some three months later, they remained there until 18th January 1741. Intending to sail direct for Cape Horn, the need for repairs was so great they were forced to put into the deserted Port St. Julien where Wager came under the command of Lt. David Cheap, Centurion's former 1st Lieutenant. Transiting the Straights of Le Maire on 7th March, savage weather prevented them from rounding the Horn for six weeks, and, on 24th April, Wager lost sight of the rest of the squadron. Instead of making for a pre-arranged back-up rendevous, Cheap lay to for four days and by 13th May was in the Bay of Peñas - but with only "thirteen sickly hands" to work the ship. At 04.30 the next morning she struck a reef and came to rest just off the shore of the deserted island where she became a total loss. At this point the ship's company divided and pursued different strategies to reach home, which by 1746 several had managed. Wager's wreck was rediscovered in 2006 by the Scientific Exploration Society which, having allowed a full month to find it, arrived late at night and set up camp, with the first members tripping over her ribs, settled in an estuary, first thing the next morning! Whilst Anson's original objectives failed, Centurion circumnavigated the globe and was the only vessel to return to England n 1743 - having intercepted a Spanish treasure ship which yielded half-a-million pounds sterling which, despite all, guaranteed his career and with which he built the stately home of Shugborugh.Fine overall condition.

Sailing to North America with Admiral Parker's squadron in March 1776, she took the American privateers Eagle and Rover in November and December 1777. Two years later in November 1779, she was briefly captured herself by the French 32-gun L’Amphitrite off Martinique, however, she was recaptured in December by the Proserpine.

(58.5x 162.5 x 37cm.)Built by Hathorn Leslie and displacing 545 tons, Boyne was the first ocean-going fleet destroyer with no fewer than 34 of these destroyers built between 1903–05. The turtle-back deck forward (see Sturgeon) was replaced by a normal forecastle, raised to improve sea-worthiness and copied from the German S90 class which had proved very seaworthy. Thius. this class marked the turning point in the transition of the destroyer from a short-range torpedo boat to fleet escort vessel. Their speed of 25 knots could be maintained in foul weather, whereas the earlier so-called 27 and 30 knotters - achieved in flat calm conditions - could not. Boyne served on the China station together with a number of its sister ships and during the First World War was on convoy duties in the Mediterranean and the North Sea and sold for breaking in August 1919.Fine overall condition

Thomson in 1881 and registered at 7,392 tons, Servia introduced a number of 'firsts' to the Atlantic passenger trade making her the first truly 'modern' liner: The first ship built to specialise in passengers only; the first Cunarder to introduce Edison's electric lamps; the first major liner to be built entirely of steel and to re-introduce Brunel's double bottom; and to incorporate watertight compartments with electric doors enabling her to remain afloat with any two flooded. Her public rooms were of a scale and luxury unknown at the time, and her powerful 10,300 ihp engines achieved an impressive speed of just over 17 knots. However, with the appearance of the crack Cunard liners Campania and Lucania in 1893, Servia was relegated to intermediate service. She was later used to transport troops to South Africa during the Boer war and was broken up in 1902 by Thos W. Ward.Good overall condition; rigging to mizzen gaff has parted.
