AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE 1:96 SCALE STATIC DISPLAY MODEL OF THE FAMOUS COMPOSITE TEA CLIPPER ARIEL , ORIGINALLY BUILT BY ROBERT STEELE & CO., 1865 modelled by I.W. Marsh circa 1957, with 24in. carved hull copper sheathed below the waterline and ebonised and scored above with port holes, boarding companionway with gratings, sponson boom, carved bone figurehead with scrollwork, finely planked decks with fittings including green painted capstan and anchor winch, with studded chain and metal anchors, companionway with brass ship's bell, covered hatches, belaying rails and pins, carved ship's boats, one lashed over a chicken coop, deck house with chimney and fire buckets, signalling guns, brass binnacle and helm with steering gear revealed under hinged lid, painted and lined bulwarks, masts with painted lower sections and yards, with standing and running riggings with blocks and tackle and suspension chains, yards with foot ropes and stuns'l booms, mounted on two turned brass supports within glazed oak display case with historical data on printed card -- cased dimensions 25 x 51 x 18in. (63.5 x 129.5 x 46cm.) Provenance: 1956 Model Engineer Exhibition (awarded Silver in Sailing Category); 1957 boarded Mayflower II and exhibited in United States; Alan Villiers collection ; l on loan to National Maritime Museum, Greenwich 1982-1992, Ref No. NMM1865-17 / SLR0977; and thence by descent.Footnote: Models by the renowned modeller Ike W. Marsh are exceptionally rare with most examples now in museum collections - three are stored at Chatham as part of the national collection at Greenwich where this lot was formerly on loan. The attention to detail that Marsh provides is remarkable and that, combined with his instinct for good presentation ensure his models are highly prized on the rare occasion they come to open market. Marsh met Villiers when he was taken on as a rigger during the filming of the Gregory Peck movie Moby Dick . As a consequence, Peck commissioned a model from Marsh which is presumably now in America, but Marsh was latterly hired by Villiers as bosun aboard the Mayflower II for her trip to America in 1957 when he took this model with him for a loan exhibition, selling it to Villiers shortly thereafter. His full hull models always have similar characteristics with singular sheathing, painted yards reefed round, boats stowed upside down, fiendishly detailed and accurate silk rigging (he was a rigger by trade); ornate turned brass supports and roomy airtight cases which are often signed alongside a glass panel within. Of all the magnificent tea clippers of the 1860's, Ariel proved one of the fastest and certainly one of the best known after her performance in the Tea Race of 1866. Built at Greenock by Robert Steele in 1865, Ariel had been ordered for Shaw, Lowther & Maxton of London for their prestigious China fleet and no expense was spared in her construction. Registered at 852 tons net, she measured 197½ feet in length with a 33¼ foot beam, and proved capable of a remarkable 16 knots when coaxed by the right captain in optimum conditions. In fact, she made her name for speed from the start when, leaving Foochow loaded with the new season's tea on May 28th, 1866, she began her epic run home in company with Taeping and three other famous clippers. Dashing across the world's oceans, passing and re-passing each other continuously, Ariel and Taeping raced neck and neck up the English Channel and finally docked in London within half-an-hour of each other on the evening of September 6th after the most spectacular race in the history of the tea trade. Equally good passages followed almost every year until she retired from the tea route in 1871 after which she switched to the Australia run. On January 31st, 1872, she cleared London for Sydney but was never heard of again nor was any trace of her ever found, a tragic end for such a legendary flyer. This lot will be available for viewing at Imperial Road.Condition report: Fine overall condition.

A QUANTITY OF SILVER RUPEES RECOVERED FROM THE 'TAJ MAHAL' WRECK, CEYLON, BY ARTHUR C. CLARKE, 1963 comprising a concreted group of seven with another seven loose examples, all dating from 1702-3; together with seven black and white photographs of artefacts recovered and a press cutting describing the haul (a lot) Provenance: William MacQuitty and thence by descent.Footnote: Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008) the famous science fiction author was a keen amateur diver and friend of film producer William MacQuitty (1905-2004) to whom he gave this small haul of specie. At the time he suggested the wreck might be of H.M.S. Bedford but this was quickly dismissed in favour of an Indian trader now known as the 'Taj Mahal' wreck as the coins were minted during the reign of the Mogul Emperor Aurangzeb, builder of the famous monument to his wife. Clarke, who had moved to Ceylon for the climate, discovered 1000's of rupees scattered over the Great Basses Reef, some still in the form of the bags they had been contained in with some being donated to the Smithsonian.Condition report: As viewed.

† A DUTCH EAST INDIA COMPANY (V.O.C.) SILVER INGOT SALVAGED FROM THE ROOSWIJK CARGO, CIRCA 1739 stamped with the mark of the Amsterdam Chamber of the V.O.C. , with rampant goat assay master's mark, stamped 'A' above 'VOC' conjoined 6½in. (16.5cm.) long; 63.08 ozt. 1261.60 dwt. (1,962 gr.) Provenance: Rooswijk recovery team - certificate of authenticity Bar Cat. No. RK05 AFootnote: The 850 ton Dutch East Indiaman (V.O.C.) Rooswijk was on her second outbound voyage to Batavia, when she foundered on the 9th January, 1740 in a storm passing the notorious Goodwin Sands off the Kentish coast with the loss of all 200 souls on board. She also contained a valuable cargo of Mexican silver which had just been smelted in Amsterdam and which comprised some thirty chests containing 1,000 bars and at least 36,000 silver Reale coins. The only evidence of the disaster appeared the next day when locals found letters washed ashore at Deal. The sands kept their secret until by chance, in December 2004, they parted and allowed an amateur diver to retrieve two complete chests and hundreds of silver bars. The salvage team, operating in secrecy, continued throughout 2005 by agreement of the Dutch and British Governments.

(109 x 137cm.) Provenance: This model was awarded gold at the All Russian Shipmodelling Competition Championship, 2017; and silver in the Ukrainian Shipmodelling Championship, 2012 This lot will be available for viewing at Imperial RoadFootnote: With ‘Russophobia’ on the rise since 1820 over tensions with India and elsewhere, the British Government, capitalising on the new Queen's youth and in an attempt to break with the past, presented this yacht as a diplomatic gift to Tsar Nicholas I. Built by Joseph White of Cowes and registered at 95ft long with a 22ft beam, it was supposed to be launched at midday 10th June 1846 in the presence of the Grand Duke Constantine and Queen Victoria, but as it turned out, the Victoria & Albert aboard which they were travelling was delayed and so in the event the Russian consul smashed a bottle of Lacryma Christi over the bow and launched her. The I.Y. Queen Victoria was indeed splendidly appointed with ceremonial cabins decorated with rosewood and maple with a bird's-eye texture and a gilt full length figurehead of the Queen herself and became the first yacht of the St. Petersbury Yacht Club, founded by Nicholas on the 1 st May the same year. A great success, she raced for many seasons and her life was extended by a substantial refit, but by 1884 she was worn out and had to be broken up.Condition report: Fine condition overall.
