  • Charles Stephen Hawtrey
    Charles Stephen Hawtrey Background Charles was born in a poor part of London in 1925, the eldest of eight children. He was the first born, and the last remaining sibling. Charles started work long before the age of ten to support his family, trying many careers along the way including brick laying, baking, elephant handling at London Zoo, and the British Army. In his early 20’s Charles and favourite brother Ron worked at London airport refuelling planes when Charles developed his desire to learn to fly. Finally earning his pilot’s licence through the help of friends, he took off around the world and flew professionally in distant Canada and Africa. He loved South Africa and enjoyed trying many new careers there where he even ran his own pub for a while in Durban. Charles returned to London where he met his wife to be, Olive, who went on a date with him believing he was the famous radio and future movie star. They married in 1956 and earned a living from many different endeavours including raising pigs which Olive enjoyed before they were ready to start a family. In 1958 Charles and Olive moved to Melbourne as “Ten Pound Poms” on a small ship called Fairsky, to find new career opportunities and a better life. Initially he worked as a bus driver and a car salesman before joining Australian Fixed Trusts where he became their top salesman for a number of years running. Working in this field brought him in contact with many retirees and gave him the idea to start his first small development in Melbourne for the over 50’s.

  • April, 2013 Volume Xxx, # 4
    APRIL, 2013 VOLUME XXX, # 4 Friday, April 26 - 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan A Man and His Ship: America's Greatest Naval Architect and His Quest to Build the SS United States Steven Ujifusa will give a book talk on A Man and His Ship, published by Simon & Schuster. It was recently named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the ten best nonfiction books of the year (2012). It’s the sweeping story of William Francis Gibbs’ quest to build the fastest, finest ocean liner in history—set against the politics, culture, and enterprise of twentieth century America. Taking readers back to a golden age, when America’s industrial might, innovative ambition, and maritime dynamism were unmatched, Steven Ujifusa’s groundbreaking debut sheds light on a forgotten genius and the sleek vision to which he gave birth. Forced to drop out of Harvard following his family’s sudden financial ruin, Gibbs overcame debilitating shyness and lack of formal training to become the visionary creator of some of the finest ships in history. Steven Ujifusa is an historian and a resident of Philadelphia who has written numerous articles on architecture and urban history. When he is not writing, he enjoys singing, photography, rowing on the Schuylkill River, and travel. A native of Chappaqua, New York, Steven received his undergraduate degree in history from Harvard University and a joint masters in historic preservation and real estate development from the University of Pennsylvania. He has appeared on National Public Radio and CBS Sunday Morning, and has given presentations at the National Museum of the US Navy, the Harvard Club of New York, Independence Seaport Museum, the Boston Athenaeum, and the Maryland Historical Society.

  • Change Was in the Air
    Exile’s Return: Change Was in the Air ANDREW TAYLOR Edith Cowan University Leaving Australia In September 1963 I boarded the ship, the Fairsky, in Port Melbourne, and waved goodbye to my parents and my girlfriend. I was 23 years old and leaving Australia for the first time. The Fairsky was one of many ships that had served in the Second World War and then been re- purposed in the immediate post-war years. In this case, she had served for both the USA and Royal navies, firstly as USS Barnes and then as HMS Attacker, before being converted initially for use as a cargo carrier (the Castel Forte), and eventually undergoing another major refit for passenger use in 1957, from which she re-emerged as Fairsky. From 1958 until the mid-1970s Fairsky worked for Sitmar Line alongside her sister ships Fairsea and Fairstar on the ‘migrant route’ from Europe to Australia. Passenger numbers were underpinned by the Assisted Migration Scheme, under which the Australian government supported British adults to emigrate to Australia for ten pounds per head, and their children at no cost. Passengers on the return trips from Australia included many young people such as myself, setting out on an adventure to the ‘Old World.’ As I boarded the Fairsky I had my cabin baggage, and a trunk in the hold. In the trunk was my copy of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary in two volumes. I reckoned I would need it because I was not continuing on the Fairsky to England, as my friends were. I was getting off at Naples and staying in Italy.
