    The Clem Lack Memorial Oration QUEENSLAND'S ANNEXATION OF NEW GUINEA IN 1883 by Dr. C.R. Moore, University of Papua New Guinea Read to a Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 22 March 1984 On Tuesday 3 April 1883 Henry M. Chester, Police Magistrate on Thursday Island in Torres Strait, arrived at Port Moresby on the orders of the Premier' of Queensland, Sir Thomas Mcllwraith. The next morning at 10.00 he formally annexed to Queensland eastern New Guinea and adjacent islands in the name of the British govern­ ment. A stout, bearded, somewhat pompous figure, he was proud of his role in Queensland's attempted annexation, then the high point in his career: almost thirty years in the East India Company Navy and the Queensland Public Service. Chester read his proclamation to the crowd: 200 Motu-Koita people from around Port Moresby, thirteen Europeans (eight of whom were resident in Port Moresby and three were from his ship) and several Polynesian missionary teachers and their wives. The Union Jack was hoisted and £50 of trade goods were distributed to the Papuans. That night the London Missionary Society missionaries gave a banquet to honour the occassion. The toast was "Prosperity to the latest gem added to the British Crown".^ Dr. Clive Moore, Ph.D., B.A., Acting Directorof the Department of Extension Studies in the University of Papua New Guinea, is a native of Mackay (Q.). He graduated with Honours in History from the James Cook University of North Queensland, and read there and at Latrobe University, Melbourne for his Doctorate.

This family legend has led me on two quests, to search for my roots and to find Admiral Benbow. William A. Benbow Victoria, B.C. June 1988. ADMIRAL JOHN BENBOW Benbow! On the roll of fame Thine stands forth a honoured name; Britain mourned her gallant son, Wilst recounting trophies won; England’s Queen with pity moved Mourned the hero England loved. Many a year has passed since then, Many a race of gifted men: Heroes, statesmen, princes, kings, Borne on Time’s relentless wings In their turn have passed away, Mingling with their kindred clay. Yet the memory of the brave Dies not with the opening grave, But like some sweet perfume cast Lives, all fragrant, to the last.

  • Captains of Hms Ajax 1 John Carter Allen
    CAPTAINS OF HMS AJAX 1 JOHN CARTER ALLEN: CAPTAIN OF HMS AJAX from 27 MAY 1770 to 6 JUNE 1771 and from JUNE to 23 AUGUST 1779 John Carter Allen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 June 1745 and to that of Commander on 15 April 1757. He was appointed to the Grampus sloop in command, and towards the end of the same year captured a large privateer. He was soon after posted to a large 6th-rate on the Mediterranean station. He was promoted to the rank of Post Captain on 21 March 1758, and appointed to the Experiment, but in August 1760, he was transferred to the Repulse frigate on the Halifax station, and took part, under Mr Byron, in the attack and destruction of three French frigates and a considerable number of small craft in Chalem Bay. The Repulse then joined the West India fleet, and continued on that station until the end of hostilities. In 1763 the Repulse was laid-up. John Allen did not hold any further commissions until May 1770, when he was appointed to the Ajax, 74. This was the ship's first commission, and she, together with the Ramillies, Defence, Centaur, and Rippon, 74's, embarked the 30th Regiment of Foot at Cork and transported them to Gibraltar. Soon after the Ajax was laid-up, and it was not until 1777 that Captain Allen was appointed to the Albion, and in the following year to the Egmont. When the Channel Fleet returned from Ushant, he once more assumed command of the Ajax, refitting at Portsmouth.

The task has been one of research, compilation, and abridgment, of a pleasant nature, undertaken during leisure evenings, after official hours spent in duties and undertakings of a kindred description. Numerous authorities have been consulted, and in some important instances, freely borrowed from ; amongst which, may be mentioned, former numbers of the Nautical Magazine, the Journals of the Royal Geographical Society, published accounts of voyages, personal memoirs, hydrographic works, the Naval Chronicle, Marshall, and O'Bymes Naval Biographies, &c.

    ARAM, 11-12 (1999-2000), 171-180 B. NICOLINI 171 SAIYID SA'ID BIN SULTAN AL BU SA'IDI OF OMAN (1791-1856) AND HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH EUROPE BEATRICE NICOLINI During the first half of the 19th century Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu Sa’idi (1791-1856) – a revolutionary merchant-prince of Maskat and Zanzibar – cre- ated in the western Indian Ocean a great and powerful mercantile empire. The aim of this paper is to investigate, through a brief examination of the relationships between Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi and Europe, whether he really was a revolutionary merchant-prince or if he was simply a pawn within the framework of European rivalries in the Oriental seas. The following portrait of Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi brings about a revision of the role effectively played by this Arab prince in his relationships with European powers. When Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi rose to power in Maskat in 1806, he was fifteen years old; he had few friends and many enemies; the prosperity built by his father had ended; and he soon understood that the only possible asset for himself and for his country was the sea.1 He soon revealed himself to be a keen minded and clever sovereign; in fact, Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi immediately saw the importance of the expansion of the African trade; he also considered important the creation of an Omani merchant fleet for patrolling the African trading ports.

From supplying Portsmouth and the navy with cider in the 17th and early 18th centuries through to being the home of several naval establishments during the Second World War, Havant has always played its part in supporting the navy. Even today Portsmouth dockyard, though not with the volume it once was, is a leading employer to the people of the Havant area. With local hi-tec firms such as Lockheed Martin Havant still plays its part in supporting the navy. Because of its close proximity to Portsmouth it is not surprising that many a naval officer chose Havant and its neighbourhood for their homes. Men of the calibre of Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommaney of Warblington House, Emsworth Road, Admiral Sir James Stirling of Belmont Park, Bedhampton, and Vice-Admiral Charles Norcock of Sherwood, East Street, have all at one time chosen to live in Havant.

  • Admiral Arthur Phillip.Pdf
    Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N. (1738 – 1814) A brief story by Angus Ross for the Bread Street Ward Club, 2019 One of the famous people born in Bread Street was Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N, the Founder of Australia and first Governor of New South Wales (1788-1792). His is a fascinating story that only recently has become a major subject of research, especially around his naval exploits, but also his impact in the New Forest where he lived mid-career and also around Bath, where he finally settled and died. I have studied records from the time Phillip sailed to Australia, a work published at the end of the 19c and finally from more recent research. Some events are reported differently by different observes or researchers so I have taken the most likely record for this story. Arthur Phillip in later life His Statue in Watling Street, City of London I have tried to balance the amount of detail without ending up with too long a story. It is important to understand the pre-First Fleet Phillip to best understand how he was chosen and was so well qualified and experienced to undertake the journey and to establish the colony. So, from a range of accounts written in various times, this story aims to identify the important elements of Phillip’s development ending in his success in taking out that First Fleet, made up primarily of convicts and marines, to start the first settlement. I have concluded this story with something about the period after he returned from Australia and what recognition of his life and achievements are available to see today.

  • The Role of Africans & Arabs Sailors in the Royal Navy Within the Indian
    Black Liberators: The Role of Africans & Arabs sailors in the Royal Navy within the Indian Ocean 1841-1941. Clifford Pereira, Geographical Society, London, United Kingdom The study of linguistics indicates that the Swahili culture spread from the Bajuni islands along the Kenyan coast northwards and southwards, perhaps using the Mtepe sewn boats. Archaeologists suggest that this migration may have included a people who were at least partly Moslem. Aided by the monsoon winds, various peoples have been traversing the Indian Ocean since antiquity. The intra-Asian trade had included slaves prior to the arrival of the Europeans. Africans on Arab and Indian vessels included freeman as well as slaves. Commercial and cultural contacts across the Indian Ocean gave rise to a number of major maritime- based cultures along the Indian Ocean littoral. These included the Bajau or Sea-Gypsies of Indonesia and the Swahili from East Africa – both of which have resulted in languages (Bahasa Malay/Indonesia and Kiswahili) that have thrived under the subsequent European colonial rule to become the essential basis for national and regional identities. There are few studies on the role of Africans in the fleets of the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French or the British as well as on their role in other European navies. The use of British census records in this area of study is rare and has its restrictions. Census returns do not provide total coverage. British Census recordings at ten-year intervals, offer a demographic “window” at the start of each decade. The census returns utilised for this paper are those published in the years 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1901.
