There were serious fires on board the clipper ship Cutty Sark and the harbour defence motor launch Medusa . Elsewhere, the other clipper ship City of Adelaide, the minesweeper HMS Bronington and the former Fairmile launch Golden Galleon were deemed to have no sustainable future by their owners, who brought forward proposals for these ships to be broken up. Fortified by additional assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund the Cutty Sark is coping with the aftermath of the fire, and Medusa’s recovery is also proceeding well. National Historic Ships has been actively involved in attempts to find sustainable futures for other ships in difficulties. We played a pivotal role in the negotiations over the HMS Bronington, dispensed more than £76,000 from our Strategic Development Fund, and ensuring that, whatever her fate, the maximum amount of material from we have also launched the first in a series of publications, providing vessel her structure will be saved for display or incorporation in other vessels. owners with advice and guidance on best practice in ship recording.

Robert Prescott, Martyn Heighton, Chairman Director and Secretary to the Advisory Committee 1 Introduction We are pleased to present the second annual report of the Advisory Committee on National Historic Ships, a non-departmental public body reporting to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, with the specific remit to advise the Secretary of State and other public funding bodies on ship preservation and funding priorities.

    HMS Warrior 1860 Points of Interest

    HMS Warrior 1860 Points of interest On the jetty: • Warrior was the first iron-hulled warship. • She was built at Blackwall in London and was launched in 1860. • The figurehead shows a Greek warrior. • It was one of the last to be made – ships now have badges. • Warrior is 418 feet (127.4m) long and 58 feet (17.6m) wide. • Warrior’s displacement (weight) is 9,210 tons! On the upper deck: • Warrior has 3 masts – the foremast, mainmast and the mizzen. • Imagine climbing up to furl the sails - sailors worked in bare feet for better grip. • The ship sailed at night so ropes had to be recognised by touch – hence the phrases “know the ropes”. • There are two funnels – Warrior was powered by a steam engine as well as sails. • The funnels could be lowered (and the propeller raised) when the engine was not in use. • Warrior had a top speed of 17.5 knots (about 20 mph) using both sails and steam. At the very front of the ship. Look through the netting to the black metal grills. • These are the “heads” (toilets) for the men - imagine using them in a gale! Look at the brass strips on the deck by the gun. • These are “racers”. • They made it easier to move the gun so it could be fired from various different positions. On the main (gun) deck • Each set of tables and benches is called a “mess”. • Each “mess” was the living/eating/sleeping/recreation area for 18 men. • Imagine 18 hairy sailors in this space! • Sailors slept in hammocks.

    This Article Covers the Life of Walter Toy, Who, After Many Other Adventures, Wound up in the 16Th Company of the 20Th Engineers at the Age of 54 Years

    This article covers the life of Walter Toy, who, after many other adventures, wound up in the 16th Company of the 20th Engineers at the age of 54 years. Information is from the website of The HMS Ganges Association, a group dedicated to maintaining contact with persons associated with the training ship by the name. (http://www.hmsgangesassoc.org/waltertoy.htm) The Life of a 19th Century Ganges Boy Walter Toy was born on the 1st January 1863 in Budock, only a few miles from the port of Falmouth in Cornwall. His father was a farm laborer, his mother a laundress and he was the fourth of seven children and the second son. After he left school, Walter would only have had about three choices of what to do with his life - to follow his father and work on the land, the hard grind of working in the tin mines, or going to sea. His elder brother by five years, Charles, had already entered the Royal Navy and was a Signalman 2nd Class aboard H.M.S. "Warrior". No doubt Walter worked with his father for a time, but with the example of his brother, and being of age to join the Navy as a Boy, he knew what he wanted to do. The local papers carried advertisements asking boys of 15 to 16 and a half years of age to volunteer for the Royal Navy and they should apply to the Commanding Officer of H.M.S. "Ganges", a boys training ship, then moored in St Just Pool at Mylor, a short distance from Falmouth.
