There was an opportunity to [email protected] purchase a letter written by Rochester-born Robert Sands about his experiences at the Battle of Trafalgar, and the need to raise the funds necessary to purchase the letter.

Most books about football usually concentrate on the performance of the teams at In her forthcoming book, Cholera: The Victorian Plague, (in Chapter 5: Births, Marriages and Deaths; pp. 99 – 101) Clock Tower Editor, Amanda Thomas sheds individual matches, or how much individual players have been bought or sold for, or additional light on the introduction of civil registration on 1 July 1837: how these players have performed. Well, this book is different in that it covers the logistics of the game rather than the performance of teams or individual players.

  • H.M.S Victory 1805
    H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Exact scale model of the 100-Gun British Ship of the Line. Ordered by the Navy Board on 6th June 1759, Victory was designed by Sir Thomas Slade. Construction commenced on 23rd July 1759 under the Master Shipwright John Lock at Chatham Dockyard. Launched on 7th May 1765 and after initial sea trials, she was laid up in ordinary for thirteen years until France joined the War of American Independence. On 12th March 1778, Victory received her first commission under Captain John Lindsay and so her career had begun. Manual 1 of 3 Hull Construction Additional photos of every stage of construction can be found on our website at: http://www.jotika-ltd.com Nelsons Navy Kits manufactured and distributed by JoTiKa Ltd.

VICTORY 1805 After more than two years of extensive research and development, using information and sources previously unavailable, this is the most historically accurate, highly detailed model of Victory in her Trafalgar condition available. Forever associated with Nelson's last battle, H.M.S. Victory is one of the most famous ships of all time, and is now preserved as a major part of the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth. The ship's survival is particularly appropriate since Victory is not only an example of the ultimate sailing warship ~ the three decker First Rate ~ but she was also the most popular and successful 100-Gun ship of the period.

  • To Read the Full Chairman's Dispatch Please Download
    2 THE CHAIRMAN’S DISPATCH: FROM VICTORY TO DARING For the second time this year I have to start my dispatch with more than a tinge of sadness, owing to the untimely death of David Harris. David was a wonderful man, a friend, a great supporter of The 1805 Club, a marvellous Treasurer and former editor of the Trafalgar Chronicle. Stephen Howarth has written a splendid and moving obituary for this issue, which not only serves to underline how much we shall miss David, but also highlights the debt we owe to him. Lieutenant Commander David Harris MBE Royal Navy was the 95th Commanding Officer of HMS Victory, between 1991 and 1993. There is no more illustrious warship name in British naval history than HMS Victory, which is inextricably linked with Admiral Lord Nelson, the Battle of Trafalgar and today’s Royal Navy – as the oldest commissioned warship in the world and flagship of the Second Sea Lord and Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command. She is more than just timber and tar. She is, to use the late Colin White’s phrase, ‘the beating heart’ of the Royal Navy and its standards and traditions; an icon for all those who have served and continue to serve. She is a potent reminder that Britain is a maritime country and as such we should never lose sight of the worth of our Navy in securing the nation’s freedoms and democracy. The sea should be at the heart of our defence. The standards can be damaged when, as Nelson once wrote to Lady Hamilton, “Government don’t care much for us”.

  • Chapter 19 Contractors
    CHAPTER 19 CONTRACTORS Introduction The Navy Board obtained its supplies for the Yards by inviting tenders and then contracting with firms to provide given quantities of stores at agreed prices. Warrants were issued to individual contractors nominating them as suppliers of the Navy Board. This system of obtaining supplies by advertising for tenders in the Press and awarding the contracts to the lowest bidder who had to provide guarantees by bonds and sureties continued until1869 when a separate Contract and Purchase Department was established for naval, victualling and medical stores. In 1912 the work of this Department was extended to deal with shipbuilding contracts. Contracts pre-1870 Before the end of the 17th century, the Navy Board had a number of standing contracts for a great variety of services: braziers' work, painting, block making, plumbing, etc. Often these contracts required the contractor to have a workshop near or in the Yard. The terms of the contract were usually to supply a particular Dockyard with the items required '... for one year certain' with six months' notice on either side. The Yard could indent on the contractor for supplies without delay and the latter was expected to maintain a reasonable stock. Sir Ambrose Crowley, a contractor for ironwork at the end of the 17th century, complained that at the termination of a standing contract he was left with anchors too large except for use in the Navy. The Resident Commissioner could make limited local purchases 1 of stores. In general a copy of the contract between the Navy Board and the Contractor would be sent by the Clerk of the Acts to the Yard for guidance and receipt of stores.
