  • Peter Haddock
    Obituary Peter Haddock It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden death of our Treasurer Peter Haddock, aged 73. Peter died on Monday 23rd March having suffered two serious strokes while in Tenerife. Peters family have said that Peter will be cremated in Tenerife and then brought home once the current pandemic crisis has abated at which time a memorial service will held. Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go to Peters family at this sad time. Tribute to Peter Haddock Earlier this year our Treasurer Peter Haddock was taken ill suddenly while on holiday in Tenerife and sadly passed away on 23rd March 2020. Peter joined the Admiralty Constabulary in 1967 beginning his career at HM Naval Base Chatham. Starting shift duties on the gates and patrols, Peter was to work with a group of ex-service men, some from the Royal Marine Police who became members of the Admiralty Constabulary and others who were recruited from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines all of who had a wealth of knowledge of dockyard and navy activities. In 1970 having passed the promotion exams and selection boards Peter was promoted Sergeant and transferred to Portsmouth Dockyard where he served for 4 years. In 1973 he successfully passed the Inspectors exams however that was the year when all Sub- Inspectors were automatically promoted to Inspector blocking the system for Sergeants who had passed their exams. This resulted in Peter opting for a sideways move to Shoeburyness and in March 1975 an opportunity arose for a return to Chatham where they were short of Constables and Sergeants.

  • Chapter 9 Department of the Captain of the Dockyard
    CHAPTER 9 DEPARTMENT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE DOCKYARD The Master Attendant In the section on the Development of the Dockyard, mention is made of the laying up of warships in the Medway after 1550. Old prints show naval vessels moored from Rochester Bridge to Gillingham. These ships, out of commission, were maintained by shipkeepers who formed the cadres for the crews of the ships when put into commission. In Elizabeth's reign, ships of 800 tons or more in ordinary would carry a Master, Boatswain, Master Gunner and two gunners, Purser, Cook, two Carpenters and 12 Seamen for labouring duties. Ships of between 300 and 500 tons would carry a Boatswain, two gunners, Cook, Carpenter and 5 seamen. Most of the ordnance would be taken from the ship when it was laid up. These ships in Ordinary were the special charge of the Principal Masters of the Navy or Masters of Attendance of whom, after 1588, there were six. Their duties included the supervision of the shipkeepers, the maintenance of the moorings, the moving of ships in harbour, assisting the grounding, graving, careening and docking and undocking of ships, the masting, the rigging, ballasting and fitting out of ships and the reverse processes, the taking of ships from their moorings at Chatham to other Yards for rebuilding and repair and returning them, the transport of newly-built ships to their moorings at Chatham, etc. They would supervise the stowing of storeships and landing and discharge of stores. The Master Attendant was assisted by the Boatswain; usually a senior man from a first or second-rate either in active service or the ordinary.

It demands much of those on the frontline in all manner of ways and requires skill, expertise and real commitment to deal with the whole of life that is encountered. Issues of truth, justice, guilt, forgiveness, restitution, peace in society, protecting the most vulnerable, right/wrong, neighbourliness, are a small part of the ‘daily round’. Encountering people at their very best and most amazing often in the midst of the most tragic of circumstances is done alongside dealing with human behaviour at its most depraved, criminal and evil. Commitment, tenacity, bravery and integrity - all exercised with compassion and fairness - are the personal qualities that together with professional skills, sustain the ‘thin blue line’. Frontline personnel also serve with a willingness, should the need arise, to put themselves in the place of danger and harm to protect and serve others.
