FOREWORD Three years ago we adopted the format of incorporating our Annual Review within our Calendar, which enabled us to circulate copies much more widely than in the past and gave those receiving the publication a reason to keep and refer to it over the coming year. Cover: Taking this approach one stage further, the Calendar for 2016 carries elements of the Photo Competition • Overall Winner Annual Review in the narrative panels accompanying each month.

Photo Competition Category B • Highly commended The Whaleship, by Rebecca Collis. Last year I reported that increasing financial pressures resulting from continuing reductions in our core grant from Government were proving challenging, whilst demands on our services continue to grow. At the time of writing this Review, the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement for the next spending round from 2016 onwards has yet to be made, but it is clear that resources from Government will further reduce over the coming years. One particular area that is much appreciated by the sector but which is likely to be affected is our grants programme. In the light of ever-reducing resources, 2016 will see the establishment of a fund-raising arm for National Historic Ships UK, aimed at supplementing reducing governmental engagement, in order to ensure that we can continue to give historic ships in the UK and those working across the board in maritime heritage, the support they need.

NATIONAL HISTORIC SHIPS UK | REVIEW 2014 – 2015 The Advisory Committee on National Historic Ships (ACNHS) was set up in 2006 as an Advisory Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) following two reports from the House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the needs of historic vessels in the UK.

PS Waverley steaming the Solent, by Shaun Roster. NATIONAL HISTORIC SHIPS UK REVIEW 2014 – 2015 This remit is carried out through a range of functions and activities. DCMS continues to be the sponsoring department with an annual grant currently standing at £215,000 from a base budget in 2006–07 of some £250,000. This budget will reduce further in line with government departmental spending policy. The DCMS grant is supplemented by funding from grant-giving bodies to support the initiatives we undertake and those of third parties. All of these are highlighted through this Review and Calendar.

The National Register of Historic Vessels (NRHV) holds details of 1315 vessels including over 200 in the National Historic Fleet.

Finally, the 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 UK Replica List holds information on 14 replicas in the UK, using the replica definitions set out in our manual Conserving Historic Vessels.

The Russian port has a long tradition in the control of merchant vessels. Within the framework of international agreements on maritime transport safety, inspectors note aboard deficiencies relating to maritime security, protection of the environment and living conditions of crews and do not hesitate to retain substandard ships as much as necessary. Of the 265 ships to be broken up between January 1st and March 31 2016, 14 were detained in Novorossiysk, sometimes repeatedly, and therefore reported as hazardous vessels to all states bordering the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. At least 4 freighters, the Amina H, the Majed and Randy, the Venedikt Andreev and the Med Glory had the migrant carriers profile.

  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1
    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

  • Steamships at Hastings Pier
    Steamships at Hastings Pier Passengers aboard the Devonia in 1925, (HPC001.001) www.hastingspier.org.uk 1 Steamships at Hastings Pier The paddle steamer Carrick Castle was purchased second-hand in 1885 by the newly formed Hastings and St Leonards Passenger Steamship Co Ltd. She began trips from Hastings Pier in May 1885, the year this picture was painted, taking up to 360 passengers at a time. A Painting of Steamship Carrick Castle with Hastings Pier in background. By George Mears, 1885. This Painting is in Hastings Museum. Not all the ships that worked from Hastings Pier were paddle steamers. This is the Lady Brassey at the landing stage on eastern side of the Pier. She was built in 1886 in Newcastle for the Hastings and St Leonards Passenger Steamship Co, could carry 372 passengers, and had two steam driven propellers at the rear. But she didn’t last long because in 1890 she was sold on to Amazon Steamship Co Ltd in Paraguay. The Lady Brassey moored at Hastings Pier head. (HPC006.128) www.hastingspier.org.uk 2 Paddle steamers were the preferred craft because they could operate in shallow water, were highly manoeuvrable, and so were ideal for running the seaside excursions from piers which had become very popular by the 1880s. Between 1886 and 1890 the landing stages at Hastings Pier were extended twice, on the eastern and southern sides, so that up to four vessels could be moored at a time. The Lady Brassey was replaced by the Seagull, which was really a steam tug with a passenger certificate.
