Nameplate VANGUARD - WARSHIP CLASS", ex British Railways Type 4 B-B Diesel Hydraulic "Warship" Class Locomotive number D801 built Swindon Works in 1958, one of 38 diesel hydraulics built there for the Western Region. Introduced new to Laira in November 1958, where it spent all its working life until withdrawal from there in August 1968 and subsequent cutting up at Swindon in October 1970. Cast aluminium measuring 39½" x 11¼", face painted red, plenty of maroon remnants around the edges and the back is typical with paint traces, pitting and corrosion. A wonderful example and the first to be named after an actual warship, D800 of course was Sir Brian Robinson. Note: The Royal Navy had 10 vessels named Vanguard. The first ship was a 32 gun Galleon launched in 1586. The 9th and last ship was the 1956 'flagship' Battleship which was actually used in the filming of 'Sink The Bismark'. The 10th isn't a ship but a 'boat', i.e. the current nuclear submarine still in service.

A bronze Ship's bell, engraved 'Mary Celeste' of traditional flared design with moulded top and frieze and weathered iron hoop handle, engraved Mary Celeste in serif capitals, according to family tradition, engraved subsequent to the bell being recovered from breakers, hence its later appearance 28cm high, 20.5cm diameter The Mary Celeste was a brigantine discovered in the Atlantic Ocean unmanned and under sail heading towards the Strait of Gibraltar in 1872. The exact fate of her crew has been since the subject of much speculation, from those based around natural disaster to fictional accounts portraying the vessel as the achetypal ghost ship. Interestingly, though the cargo was intact, the ship's chronometer and sextant were not found on board. The present lot was formerly the property of a knowledgeable ethnologist and collector active in the 1970s and 80s, however, since his death, the exact provenance of this bell is unclear. The ship was recovered and used for 12 years by a variety of owners. In January 1885, in a bungled attempt to claim insurance money, she was loaded with an over-insured cargo of scrap, including boots and cat food, by her last captain, however, the ship refused to sink, having been grounded on the Rochelois Reef in Haiti. The final resting place of the ship has been the subject of some research in recent years but it would appear that even this remains open to debate.

H.M.S. HAMPSHIRE: SURVIVORS' AUTOGRAPHS. twelve autographs in pencil on linen, the bottom annotated These are the autograph names of the 12 men saved from H.M.S. Hampshire in the harsh sea [...?...whilst on the Hospital Ship], Sunday June 5th 1916, now pasted on to card. 7 x 4 1/2in. (18 x 11.5cm.). H.M.S. Hampshire was an armoured cruiser built at Tyneside in 1908. Departing from Scapa Flow in poor weather at 4.45pm on the 5th June, she rendezvoused with escort destroyers who, in now dreadful conditions, were sent back. Aboard was Lord Kitchener and staff whom the British Government had entrusted on a secret mission to discuss the financial and material difficulties of Russia with the Tsar. At 7.40pm Hampshire hit a mine field laid by U-75 a few days before, and took less than fifteen minutes to sink. It was impossible to launch any boats and one warrant officer and thirteen men clinging to a raft were washed up on the coast of Marwick Head the next morning, of these two died almost immediately.

U.S.A., Allied Theatrical Interests and Neptune Association Medal to the Crew of S.S. President Roosevelt 1926, 32mm., bronze, reverse inscribed (name engraved), ‘Presented to C. Heldewig in recognition of Gallantry and Humanity in connection with the rescue of the S.S. Antinoe Feb. 19 1926’, nearly extremely fine £100-150 The New Egypt & Levant Steamship Company freighter Antinoe, 3,747 tons, was en-route from New York to Queenstown, with a cargo of grain, under the command of Captain Harry Tose with a crew of 25. On 23 January 1926 having run into a heavy gale, she was struck by an extremely large wave. The wave burst upon the vessel damaging the steering gear and engine, and carried away the dingy. Becoming unmanageable and developing a list an S.O.S. message was broadcast. The call was received by Newfoundland and relayed, being picked up by the R.M.S. Aquitania which passed it on to the President Roosevelt of the United States Line, under the command of Captain Fried. The President Roosevelt made contact with the Antinoe at 12.30 on 24 January. After pumping oil into the sea she attempted to launch a boat. This ended in tragedy as the boat was smashed against the sides of the ship and two of the crew were drowned. At 9 p.m. the weather worsened, and in violent snow squalls, the two ships lost touch. Over 18 hours later through the skill and perseverance of Captain Fried the President Roosevelt regained contact with the Antinoe. In the interim, the situation of the ship had deteriorated, with a derrick breaking loose and causing damage and the engines completely stopped. In this perilous situation Captain Tose decided to abandon ship. Five successive attempts were made by the President Roosevelt to drift lifeboats down to the Antinoe attached to a line, each without success. Similarly, attempts to send a line by rocket also failed. On 27 June, the weather having improved slightly, a boat from the President Roosevelt at last managed to take off some of the crew of the Antinoe. In the early hours of the next day a second boat took off Captain Tose and the remaining crew and the Antinoe was abandoned and left to sink. The Captain and crew of the President Roosevelt were the recipients of the thanks of the British Government and the congratulations of the Admiralty. A letter of thanks was also sent by King George V to President Coolidge. The owners of the Antinoe made a presentation to Captain Fried and his men. (Dictionary of Disaster at Sea refers). Captain Fried was also awarded the Navy Cross for this action. .

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, no clasp (A Begg, Sto., H.M.S. Philomel) small impressed naming, nearly extremely fine £140-180 Alexander Begg was born in North Berwick, Haddingtonshire on 10 May 1877. Formerly employed as a Labourer he enlisted into the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class on 22 April 1896 and was advanced to Stoker in September 1897. He served on the 3rd class cruiser Philomel, October 1899-March 1902, during which time he qualified for the above medal - being one of 152 awarded to the ship. He was promoted to Stoker 1st Class in July 1906 and to Leading Stoker in the following month when on Berwick. He was discharged as time expired in April 1908 and joined the Royal Fleet Reserve. Recalled for duty in August 1914, he was posted to the armoured cruiser Hogue. Serving on her, he was killed in action on 22 September 1914 when his ship was torpedoed and sunk by the U.9 off Ymuiden in the North Sea. The Aboukir, together with her sister ships the Hogue and Cressy, part of the 7th Cruiser Squadron, were engaged in blockade and patrol duties in the southern part of the North Sea. At 6.30 on 22 September 1914 the Aboukir was torpedoed by the U-9. Believing that the ship had struck a mine, the Hogue and Cressy stopped to rescue the survivors, oblivious of the danger lurking beneath the waves. While the rescue work was in progress two torpedoes from the U-9 hit the Hogue. The submarine then surfaced and was for a short time engaged by the Hogue’s guns until the cruiser began to turn over and sink. Shortly after the Cressy was sent to the bottom. Some 1,400 men were lost in the triple disaster. Leading Stoker Begg’s name is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial. Sold with copied service paper. .
