Ltd, [1951]Qty: (-)NOTESProvenance: By direct descent to the present owner. Wyatt Larken was the son of Admiral Sir Frank Larken (1875-1953). As a young midshipman he cruised the Mediterranean in the Valiant, the Malaya and subsequently the Queen Elizabeth, these logs recording frequent visits to Cyprus and Malta as well as the station’s more unusual reaches. In April 1930 he joined the Hawkins-class cruiser Effingham for its East African cruise, visiting Ceylon and Mauritius before coasting Tanzania and spending a week at Zanzibar, then returning to Ceylon via Mombasa, the Seychelles and Addu Atoll in the Maldives. From 21 October 1930 to 19 January 1931 the Effingham undertook a cruise of the Persian Gulf, visiting Muscat, Sohar, Sur, Khasab and Khor al-Jarama in modern Oman, and Dubai and the island of Sir Abu Nu'ayr in what is now the United Arab Emirates. Wyatt’s log for this section occupies some 100 pages, and his entry for 17 December 1931 is especially noteworthy: 'Proceeded for Dabai on the Trucial coast ... at 1020 the Trucial sheikhs and their followers numbering all some 200 came onboard ... A torpedo was fired - also a full charge round from a gun. This they watched from the bridge ... They brought us gifts of beef and melon jelly ... and they were sent away with Gold Flake cigarettes and chocolate ... The chief ones wore splendid "bournous" of gold work cloth. All were fine upstanding men'. After leaving the Gulf the Effingham embarked on a Burma Cruise which included a visit to the Andaman Islands. The charts and plans include: Salamis Bay; the Brijuni Islands (modern Croatia); Fiume (modern Rijeka, Croatia); the Dardanelles; Istanbul; the Gulf of Aden; the Port of Colombo; Trincomalee; Port Louis (Mauritius); Mafia Island and the Rufiji Delta (modern Tanzania); an exercise near the Suvadiva Atoll (Maldives); ‘Area cover’d by Interests of Anglo-Persian Oil Co’; the Shatt al-Arab; the Andaman Islands; the Royal Navy camp at Diyatawala; and several route charts. Promoted lieutenant in 1933, commander in 1944 and captain in 1950, Larken saw Second World War service on seven different vessels and shore establishments, and during the Korean War commanded the aircraft carrier Theseus (mentioned in despatches) and the minelayer Apollo. From 1952 until his retirement in 1955 he was deputy director of naval ordnance.

Admiral Sir Frank Larken KCB CMG (1875-1953) entered the Royal Navy in 1889. On the declaration of war in August 1914 he took command of light cruiser HMS Doris in the eastern Mediterranean, with instructions to launch amphibious raids on Turkish positions along the Syrian coast. His demolition of the railway at Alexandretta in December 1918 forced the Turks into negotiations by which they agreed to destroy their own railway engines and stores, under British supervision, a somewhat farcical event which was key to Churchill's appraisal of Turkish military capability and his decision to launch the Gallipoli campaign, during which the Doris provided support for the Anzac landings. Larken later commanded battleship HMS Valiant (1922-4), was promoted rear-admiral in 1924, vice-admiral in 1929, and admiral in 1933.
