The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that tragically sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. It was one of the most famous and luxurious ocean liners of its time, built by the shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland.The Titanic was designed to be the largest and most opulent ship of its era, with state-of-the-art amenities and lavish accommodations. It had a length of 882 feet and a maximum capacity of over 2,400 passengers and crew members.On April 10, 1912, the Titanic embarked on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, bound for New York City. However, in the early morning hours of April 15, the ship struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and began to sink. The lack of sufficient lifeboats and the inadequate emergency response led to a devastating loss of life. Approximately 1,500 people, including passengers and crew members, lost their lives in the tragedy.The sinking of the Titanic was a significant event in maritime history and had far-reaching consequences. It led to significant changes in maritime regulations, emphasizing the importance of lifeboat capacity and safety procedures on passenger ships.The story of the Titanic has captivated the public's imagination for over a century and has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and films. It continues to serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of human life and the enduring legacy of a disaster that shaped the course of maritime safety.Measures 53 (L) x 5.66 (W).Trumpeter kit.Requires assembly, paint, and glue to complete.USB LED.1/200 Scale model.

U-boats, short for Unterseeboot, were German submarines used during both World Wars. They played a significant role in naval warfare, particularly during World War I and World War II.During World War I, German U-boats were primarily used for unrestricted submarine warfare against Allied shipping. They targeted merchant vessels and naval ships, aiming to disrupt supply lines and starve the British Isles. U-boat attacks, including the sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania in 1915, contributed to the United States' entry into the war.After the Treaty of Versailles limited Germany's naval capabilities following World War I, U-boat construction and operations were restricted. However, during the buildup to World War II, Germany again invested in U-boat technology, improving their capabilities and tactics.In World War II, German U-boats sought to disrupt Allied shipping in the Atlantic Ocean. Their primary objective was to sink merchant convoys supplying the British Isles and later the United States. U-boats employed tactics such as wolfpacks, where multiple submarines coordinated attacks on convoys, often employing torpedo salvos. The Battle of the Atlantic, the struggle between U-boats and Allied forces to control the Atlantic shipping lanes, was a crucial aspect of the war.The development of new technologies, such as sonar and convoy systems, along with increased Allied air and naval presence, gradually turned the tide against the U-boats. The introduction of more advanced Allied escort ships and improved anti-submarine warfare tactics reduced the effectiveness of U-boat operations.Ultimately, the Battle of the Atlantic ended in favor of the Allies, and many U-boats were sunk. The introduction of advanced long-range aircraft, improved sonar technology, and effective convoy systems significantly reduced the threat posed by German U-boats.U-boats were a formidable force during both World Wars, demonstrating the potential of submarine warfare and influencing subsequent submarine development. Their impact on naval warfare, particularly in disrupting supply lines and challenging naval dominance, remains a significant aspect of military history.Measures 24 x 36.

The Bismarck was one of the largest battleships ever built by Germany and played a significant role in naval warfare during the early years of the war.Commissioned in 1940, the Bismarck was equipped with powerful artillery and advanced naval technology for its time. It had a length of over 800 feet and a displacement of over 50,000 tons, making it a formidable vessel. The battleship was known for its heavy armor and impressive speed, which allowed it to pose a threat to enemy ships.In May 1941, the Bismarck engaged in a historic battle with the British Royal Navy in the North Atlantic Ocean. During the battle, the Bismarck inflicted heavy damage on the British flagship HMS Hood, causing it to sink. However, the Bismarck sustained damage as well and was pursued by British forces. Ultimately, the battleship was cornered and sunk on May 27, 1941.The sinking of the Bismarck marked a significant victory for the Allies and was a turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic.

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal (Pte. W. Milton, Langman Hospital) officially impressed naming, good very fine and rare £300-£400 --- Private W. Milton is confirmed on the roll of the Langman Hospital, which lists 58 names but this figure includes 12 nursing sisters who received the medal under the auspices of the R.A.M.C. Established by Mr. John Langman, this private hospital opened its tented wards for the first time in April 1900, on the cricket ground at Bloemfontein, where, a few days later, it was inspected by Lord Roberts, V.C., who said of it in a telegram to Langman back in London, that its ‘value to our R.A.M.C. and wounded cannot be overestimated’. Indeed, under the efficient command of Langman’s son, Archibald, actually a Lieutenant in the Middlesex Yeomanry, the hospital eventually treated 1211 cases, latterly at a new location in Pretoria. Of these patients, 278 returned to duty, 875 were transferred to other hospitals and 58 died.
Among the handful of Surgeons employed on the 45-strong staff, 18 of whom were from the St. John Ambulance Brigade, was Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle, M.D., he of Sherlock Holmes fame, who had, from the outset, been invited by John Langman to assist in the selection of suitable personnel - it is not without interest therefore that Corporal Weston Burt was, like Conan Doyle, a resident of Southsea, a fact that suggests they may well have been local friends. Be that as it may, both men would certainly have shared in the horrific scenes caused by ever-growing numbers of enteric victims, the famous author being compelled to write:
‘Our hospital was no worse off than the others, and as there were many of them the general condition of the town [Bloemfontein] was very bad. Coffins were out of the question, and the men were lowered in their brown blankets into shallow graves at the average of sixty a day. A sickening smell came from the stricken town. Once when I had ridden out to get an hour or two of change, and was at least six miles from the town, the wind changed and the smell was all around me. You could smell Bloemfontein long before you could see it. Even now if I felt that lowly death smell compounded of disease and disinfectants my heart would sink within me.’
The Hospital was eventually given as a free gift by John Langman to the Government in November 1900, complete with all its equipment, tentage and supplies - he was created a Baronet in 1906, while his son, Archibald, received prompter reward by way of a C.M.G. in 1902. Conan Doyle, too, was among the ex-Langman staff honoured, receiving a knighthood, although he later claimed this was in response to the publication of his pamphlet, The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct. Sold with copied medal roll and article on the Langman Hospital by W. H. Fevyer, published in the O.M.R.S. Journal.

Colin Moss (1914-2005) mixed media, Gossips, signed, 44 x 57cm. NB: Colin Moss was Born in Ipswich at 28 Cemetery Road but after his father’s death in WWI his family relocated to Plymouth where he was educated, he received his artistic training at Plymouth Art School and then The Royal College of Art, graduating in 1938. At the outbreak of WWII Colin was working for the Camouflage unit of the Air Ministry and together with 150 other artists he was tasked with disguising factories and power stations. Two years later he was called for active service in the Life Guards, spending his war in the Middle East. Although never an official war artist, he sketched prolifically to document his experiences and constantly revisited the theme of war throughout his career. A number of his pictures from the War are represented in The Imperial War Museum. Life in Civvy Street saw Colin return to Ipswich uponaccepting the post of Senior Lecturer at Ipswich Art School, a position he occupied until retirement in 1979. In the interim years and long after his retirement he was increasingly recognised as a leading figure in the Regional art scene. In 1980 he was elected Chairman of the Ipswich Art Club and later became President, a lofty position occupied by many great artists before him including Alfred Munnings, Edward Seago and Anna Airy. Colin's decision to pursue dual careers as artist and teacher was inevitable, painting was a necessity to him, but teaching offered financial stability. Although his painting career was never sidelined, there was necessarily some compromise although he taught by example and his own painting was ever present in the studio alongside that of his students and hewould seek opportunities to work between classes. Colin Moss was a reluctant self promoter, however forays into the London Art scene of the 1950s saw some critical success. He was represented by the Zwemmer Gallery and Prospect Galleries, sharing exhibitions with the likes of John Bratby, Patrick Heron, Kyffin Williams and John Minton. In 1954 and again in 1956 he took time off from teaching to concentrate fully on painting and produced many of his social-realist work, allied closely to the Kitchen-Sink group and culminating in his ‘big pictures’ of working men and women produced at the height of his artistic powers. Colin Moss is a significant figure in the modern East Anglian tradition, as a teacher he influenced a generation of artists including Maggi Hambling and Brian Eno. As an artist his work is internationally recognised and represented in The British Museum, The Tate Archive Collection, Norwich Castle Museum, the Ben Uri Gallery, Nottingham Art Gallery and others and of course broadly represented in The Ipswich and Colchester Museums Collections. The following lots, all directly from the artists estate, demonstrate the breadth of his choice of medium and experiments with style which punctuate his career, ever present is his exceptional draughtsmanship which marked him out - even amongst his Royal Academy peers - as an exceptional talent. The subjects often take the form of social documentation, providing a wonderful record of everyday life in 20th Century England.

FIRST EDITION of this anti-vaccination tract. RARE.BROWN, Thomas (dates unknown). A Letter in Reply to the Report of the Surgeons of the Vaccine Institution, Edinburgh; With an Appendix, Containing a Variety of Interesting Letters on the Subject of Vaccination, and Including a Correspondence with Dr Duncan, Dr Lee, and Mr Bryce: from which also the Public will be able to Appretiate[sic] the Authority of the Surgeons of the Vaccine Institution, and to Form a Correct Opinion of the Whole Subject. Edinburgh: "Printed by George Ramsay and Co for John Ballantyne and Company, Edinburgh; and John Murray, and S. Highley, London," 1809. 2 parts in one volume, 8vo (225 x 145mm). Half title (some light browning, staining and spotting, a few darker spots). Contemporary or original grey paper-backed blue wrappers, uncut (backstrip largely lacking, some staining). Provenance: From the Collection of Professor Jonathan Brostoff, D.M., D.Sc., FRCP, FRCPath (1934-2020); the author's name written faintly in blue pencil on the upper wrapper; some pencil highlighting to the text. FIRST EDITION of this vituperative, not to say topical, anti-vaccination tract which includes, in the Appendix, a printed exchange of letters between the author and his disputants (Andrew Duncan, John Lee and James Bryce). One of the author's printed letters, dated in the text "Musselburgh, 14th July, 1809", ends, in typically combative style, "... I shall now conclude, by wishing your efforts may tend to place vaccination on a basis that is consistent with the comfort of the public; I must beg leave, however, frankly and sincerely to state, that I have now no doubt of the leading facts and opinions I have published, and I distinctly assert, that vaccination will be found, from daily experience, to be only a temporary expedient; that the practice will be allowed to sink silently into oblivion, from the aversion that such numerous and respectable bodies and individuals must labour under in contradicting themselves; and also out of respect to Dr Jenner, who, whatever shall be the result, is certainly entitled to public gratitude for his exertions. I am, dear Sir, yours, respectfully, Thos. Brown." Of the author, little is known except that information provided of him beneath his name on the title page: "Surgeon, Musselburgh." RARE.

She was coming towards us... and she fired her 15-in at [HMS] Rodney and, it appeared her 5.9-in at us... . We engaged her... . I did not like her look. It was something like a pike with her raked bow and formidable looking turrets. Altogether we fired seventy five broadsides... . At 11.01 as all the world knows the Bismarck turned over and sank. Over one hundred survivors were picked up by the Norfolk (?) & Dorset." - Vanneck.Both Vanneck and Peter Scott served on Motor Torpedo Boats during the Second World War.
