  • Issue 16 February 2018
    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.16 February 2018 From the President Welcome to our first edition of Call the Hands for 2018. Since December, the wreck of HMAS AE1 has been discovered, STS Young Endeavour celebrated 30 years of service and Society members have been involved in several interesting activities. In the week prior to Christmas the discovery of HMAS AE1, excited the nation and ended the Navy’s longest mystery. AE1 was lost off the island of Rabaul on 14 September 1914 with all 35 crew members. The wreck site will remain ‘close held’ by Find AE1 Expedition member organisations until appropriate measures are taken to protect the site. Expedition leader, retired Rear Admiral Peter Briggs who has worked much of his life to find HMAS AE1 and his colleagues are saluted for this historic achievement. On 16 January the Commanding Officer HMAS Hobart, Captain John Stavridis and Supply Officer, Lieutenant Commander Mark Lee visited the Boatshed to acquaint themselves with an important HMAS Hobart heritage item, the Captain’s table from HMAS Hobart (I). The Society has held the table in trust since Hobart (II) decommissioned in May 2000. Descendants of HMAS Patricia Cam crew members and the community marked the 76th anniversary of her loss with a series of events in Darwin, Gosford, Sydney and Canberra from 20 to 22 January. Patricia Cam sank on 22 January 1943 after being bombed by a Japanese float plane. Society members participated in the Gosford (plaque unveiling where she was built) and Canberra last post ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.

PREPARED AND PRINTED FOR THE USE OF THE CHURCH ' MAY »7 1896/ ^» MDCCCXCVINEW YORK f^'Li• 4 ^gI Copyright, 1896, By Stephkn P. Nash PREFATORY NOTE IN April, 1892, I was requested by a resolution of the Vestry of Trinity Church to prepare for the use of the History of Trinity Parish, upon which the Rev. Dr. Dix, as Rector of the Church, was then en- gaged, a statement of the origin of the title of the Cor- poration and of the various adjudications which have established such title. I was already familiar with the more important deci- sions contained in the Official Reports, and entered upon the task with the feeling that a fresh study of them would be all that was necessary to do the task required. But I gradually became interested in the antiquarian view of the subject,~and extended my researches in va- rious directions, gleaning here and there some new mate- rial, but more often finding nothing to throw light upon questions still in obscurity. My material accumulated beyond the proportions suitable for the note to the History of the Parish, and, as some of it appeared to have value as elucidating the occupation and disposition of the Aniieke Jans farm during a period much earlier than that covered by the cases disposed of in the Courts, I concluded to print it for such use as the Church might conclude to make of it.
