  • Healing Service Thursday 27 August, 2020
    Healing Service Thursday 27 August, 2020 Sit somewhere comfortable and let yourself come into the presence of God, knowing that others, some we know and some we don’t, are doing the same in their homes, on their balconies, in their gardens or their quiet God spot. If you would like to, look at the Bible readings from today’s service: Exodus 3: 1-18 Psalm 63 Matthew 16: 13-17 Let’s begin with a prayer: God who sent us the Word, made into flesh, the One who was himself wounded by words, and wounded others with his own well-chosen barbs, today we pray for the words that will fill the day. May we receive words of hope to bolster us, words of peace to connects us, words of truth to anchor us in reality. May the words that we speak to others be full of compassion, inspiration, and truth. And may we find rest from all other words in the presence of your Word with Us. Amen. Mary Austin is the Pastor of Gaithersburg Presbyterian Church, near Washington, DC. RevGals Blogspot We come mindful of the many people who are struggling today. Struggling with loneliness, with fear and anxiety, grieving loss; the loss of a loved one, loss of time with family, loss of community, loss of security. So many hearts in need of the healing touch of God. We come knowing that we are in need of healing, that we are struggling with those same things, knowing that we need to feel the healing touch of God today.

  • Labassa Lives
    Labassa lives Volume 7, Issue 1, 2019 Known unknowns Many residents are known only by name. Who was “Mrs Smith” the live-in maid in Tom and Annie Chadwick’s Drawing Room flat (Flat 10)? While that question may never be answered other residents are moving out of the shadows. A visit by Mrs Young An undated, unsigned note in a Labassa file records the visit of 102 year old “Mrs Young” whose father “Mr Grey” leased the mansion at the turn of the 20th century. Her memory is described as “patchy and some- what confused” but she offers some tantalising details about the mansion’s decor. “The drawing room ceiling had some life-sized figures painted on it. The carpet, not rugs, was of a rose pink colour with matching curtains. Lighting was by chandelier. Several pictures were hung on the walls and the furniture was white and gold. The dining room had portiers *sic}1 and curtains across the windows.” Who was Mrs Young and how reliable are her memories? Mrs Young’s identity and the date of her visit were finally revealed through her association with Chloe, the iconic painting on display at Young & Jackson Hotel in Melbourne. Above: Chloe provides a vital clue in identifying Gold mining engineer George Gray leased Ontario one of Labassa’s former residents. between 1898 and 1901. His eldest daughter Ethel Image: Young & Jackson. Houghton Gray married the son of Henry Fisby Young, one of the original licensees of Young & Jackson.

  • Officers and Crew of the Loch Sloy
    Officers and Crew of the Loch Sloy 1. Captain: Peter Nicol, 38, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Captain Peter Nicol was born 1861 in the town of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, the son of Janet ‘Jessie’ Gillan and Peter Nicol Snr a Master Mariner and Sailmaker. He spent a great deal of time in the care of his mother and siblings as his father was at sea for a lot of the time. Peter Nicol Snr began his career aboard the 650 ton barque ‘Cyclone’ in the late 1850’s under Joseph Hossack. Later he served as mate and sailmaker aboard the ‘Wandering Chief of Banff’, and then the ‘Guiding Star’. Eventually he gained his masters ticket and commanded ships if his own. Peter Nicol Jnr grew up in Peterhead, the eldest of 4 children, he had two younger brothers Robert, and John and a sister, Helen Jane. Whilst Peter Jnr was off at sea the family lived at 10b Love Lane, Peterhead, his mother Jessie acting as defacto household head and carer for the 3 youngest children. The family later moved to 6 James Street, Peterhead where John, a baker, looked after his aged parents along with his unmarried sister Helen. Peter Jnr grew up listening to the stories of his father’s adventures at sea and it was not long before he followed him into the trade beginning as an apprentice sailmaker at the age of 17. He met and then married Isabella Simpson in 1880, and later this year their first child Peter was born. The family lived in Peterhead with Isabella’s father William Simpson, a labourer, and Elspet Simpson, along with Isabella’s younger sisters Elspet and Mary and younger brother William.

  • The History of the Loch Sloy 1877 – 1899
    The History of the Loch Sloy 1877 – 1899 In the mid 1870’s the owners and share holders of Aitken, Lilburn and Co, were looking to expand their fleet of clippers. They had just finished the 1500 tonners Loch Vennachar and Loch Garry, but they were proving expensive with their unusual rigging and design features. The investors wanted a cheaper but no less capable version and approached David and William Henderson to fulfil their company’s needs. They wanted their new vessels to have the same level of luxury and safety as their premier liners, but not the expense of their construction. Thus James Lilburn and William Aitken placed an order for 2 nearly identical clippers in the 1200 ton range, the full rigged ships Loch Sloy and Loch Shiel. Other yards along the Clyde also produced 1200 ton clippers for the rapidly expanding Glasgow Shipping Company. The order was placed for the ships in late 1876 and the Loch Sloys’ keel was laid down soon after when space became available on one of the Henderson slipways. By August of 1877 the construction of the hull and deck fittings had been completed. After her first marine survey, the masts were stepped in and the rigging attached. By the end of October the Loch Sloy was all but complete. With her three masts towering high above the workers in the dry dock the final touches being applied to her interior preparations were made for her official launch. Lloyds marine surveyors conducted their second to last inspection of the hull and pronounced her 100 A1 and ready for launch.
