NEWSLETTER of the Society for Nautical Research No. 78 May 2010 Newsletter 78 May 10 colour_SNR 03/05/2010 11:31 Page 1 NEWSLETTER of The Society For Nautical Research No. 78 May 2010 Published quarterly as an enclosure to The Mariner’s Mirror (ISSN 0025 3359). The Society for Nautical Research is a company limited by guarantee (registered number 2848095) and a registered charity number 1026357. Website: www.snr.org.uk Hon. Newsletter Editor: Barry Coombs National Maritime Museum, Park Row, Greenwich, SE10 9NF, UK email: [email protected] Deadline for August issue: 4 June 2010 Newsletter 78 May 10 colour_SNR 03/05/2010 11:31 Page 2 Chairman’s Column The Society’s centenary is now well and truly under way. On 21 January, the Second Sea Lord, Sir Alan Massey, opened our centenary year at a reception in the Princess Royal Gallery of the Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth. About 80 people attended and the venue could hardly have been better considering the very close association of the Society with the museum and HMS Victory . It was also an opportunity to view some remarkably well-preserved artefacts recovered from HMS Invincible, which sank off Spithead in 1758. The excavation of the wreck had been under way since 1982, under the direction of one of our Vice-Presidents, Commander John Bingeman. The day was also the occasion for the formal recognition of David Page’s long service to the Society. David has been Chairman of the Small Craft Committee. He has kept an eye on the annual programme of HMS Victory ’s cutter since the 1990s. His enthusiasm for the cutter has been a vital element in ensuring that it was properly manned, supported and in service. David was also instrumental in establishing the Society’s first website. On the replacement of the Small Craft Committee with the Heritage and Historic Craft Committee, David stepped down as Chairman, but will still be working on the committee with oversight of the cutter. Dame Mary Fagan, Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, made the presentation of a small plaque to mark the Society’s gratitude for David’s commitment and service. The centenary history of the Society, The Mirror of the Seas , appeared on schedule in February. At last the Society has in a single volume an authoritative record of its achievements and tribulations. Splendidly presented, it is a permanent record for members and the public of the Society’s contribution to maritime history. Over the next few months more events will be held to commemorate the centenary in the UK and elsewhere. I hope that as many members as possible will be able to take advantage of these activities. Richard Harding 2 Newsletter 78 May 10 colour_SNR 03/05/2010 11:31 Page 3 Editorial My thanks to Dr Helen Doe for alerting me to the wonders of the Members’ Forum which can be accessed through the SNR website members area – once registered go to Discussion Forum.

  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

  • History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg
    History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg (Minor editing by Alastair Donald) In preparing this Record I have consulted, wherever possible, the original reports, Battalion War and other Diaries, accounts in Globe and Laurel, etc. The War Office Official Accounts, where extant, the London Gazettes, and Orders in Council have been taken as the basis of events recounted, and I have made free use of the standard histories, eg History of the British Army (Fortescue), History of the Navy (Laird Clowes), Britain's Sea Soldiers (Field), etc. Also the Lives of Admirals and Generals bearing on the campaigns. The authorities consulted have been quoted for each campaign, in order that those desirous of making a fuller study can do so. I have made no pretence of writing a history or making comments, but I have tried to place on record all facts which can show the development of the Corps through the Nineteenth and early part of the Twentieth Centuries.

The numbers voted were 9007, but the RM Artillery had officially ceased to exist - a School of Laboratory and nominally two companies quartered at Fort Cumberland as part of the Portsmouth Division only being maintained. The Portsmouth Division were still in the old inadequate Clarence Barracks in the High Street; Plymouth and Chatham were in their present barracks, which had not then been enlarged to their present size, and Woolwich were in the western part of the Royal Artillery Barracks.

Your Sports Lottery also provides equipment - so even if you have not won a cash prize yet; you have almost certainly benefited from the funding provided. Why do we need a Sports Lottery? The RN/RM Sports Lottery (RNSL) was set up in 1991 to generate non-public funds supporting all levels of sport, adventure training and recreation in the Naval Service. This is achieved by enhancing existing public funds (money provided through the MOD) and by granting funds for approved activities and equipment that fall outside the scope of In addition there are extra monthly draws public funding. of 10 prizes of £50 and the occasional The Royal Navy enhanced first prize, such as new cars.

  • Smoke Free Temeraire
    Commanding Officer HMS TEMERAIRE Burnaby Road Portsmouth Navy Command PO1 2HB Telephone: 02392 573070 Military: 9380 28070 E-mail: [email protected] Ref: TEM/EST/POL/NOV 18 Mr R Taylor SO1(Sport) HMS TEMERAIRE 27 Nov 18 ‘Tobacco Free’ TEMERAIRE 1. The Smoking and Tobacco Control Strategy for Defence 2017 – 2022 outlines the ambition for Defence to ‘reduce smoking prevalence across the Whole Force to national prevalence levels by 2022 alongside a phased introduction of smoke-free working environments’. In line with the proposed policy, and as the headquarters for Naval Health and Wellbeing, I have been directed by ACNS(Pers) to make HMS TEMERAIRE a ‘tobacco free’ working environment. 2. Following research by Public Health England, the decision has been made that HMS TEMERAIRE and the adjacent NBC (Portsmouth) owned sports fields at Burnaby Road (East & West) will become a tobacco free environment from 1 January 2019 i.e. tobacco products cannot be used within the Establishment and associated grounds but vapes may be used in approved locations. This is a ban on the use of all tobacco products (including combustible and chewing tobacco products) on a 24-hour basis across the whole site. This will result in the change of use of the existing smoking area within HMS TEMERAIRE to a 'vaping' shelter; personnel will be required to leave the site and move to a distance greater than 10m from the Establishment Main Gate, if they choose to use tobacco products. 3. Having sought staff views, conducted the required Trade Union consultation and obtained legal advice, I have informed Head NPS, as the head of my Chain of Command, that HMS TEMERAIRE and the attached Naval Service Sports Accommodation area will be made into a tobacco free working environment with effect from 1 January 2019 and that this policy will apply to military, Civil Service and contractor staff employed or visiting the Establishment.
