THE SEA GULL Introduction This report presents the “Log of the Sea Gull” as written by “Napier Lion” and published in the Sydney Mail. The “Sea Gull” was a Curtiss Flying Boat which undertook the first flight from Sydney to Launceston and return between 13th March to July 4th 1921. The plane arriving in Launceston on May 20th 1921. The Trip was undertaken by captain Andrew lang as the pilot and Alexander Hill as his companion, with Captain Snook accompanying the journey in the support ship “Acielle”. The following extract from an article in the Sydney Times1 describes the purpose of the trip: There will leave Sydney shortly the outpost of one of the most Interesting and significant expeditions in the history of Australia. The party, consisting of a 30-ton auxiliary yacht and a three-seater Curtiss Seagull flying boat, will survey and photograph the eastern coast of Australia from Tasmania to New Guinea, and establish definitely every spot from which amphibious aircraft may come and go. The expedition has been fitted out by Mr. Lebbeus Hordern, and the results of his work will be presented to the Federal Government as a gift. As everybody knows, Mr. Lebbeus Hordern is 'mad on flying.' He was the pioneer of sea- planing in Australia and made his first flight from Double Bay in a Maurice Farman machine with the late Maurice Guilleaux as pilot. In those days Mr. Hordern was merely playing with aviation in search of new sensations; but when the war broke out, as it did almost immediately, he handed the Farman over to the Federal Government, and the machine was at once put into commission for the New Guinea expedition. After several years of war experience, Mr. Hordern returned to Australia convinced of the efficacy of amphibious aircraft, both for defence and for commercial purposes. Acting on this belief, he imported two Seagull flying boats, one sporting type Short seaplane, and one twin engined 10-seater Short flying boat. The first of these to be assembled was a three-seater Seagull, and, after thorough testing, she has turned out to be an eminently efficient and comfortable bus. Complete sets of photographs will be taken at every point, and all possible mooring places will be properly tried out and reported upon, with, minute attention to detail. Finally the whole of the data will be handed over as a gift to the Federal Government. It is a big job, and a fine, patriotic thing to do, and Mr. Hordern is to be highly commended for his undertaking. 1 Sydney Times, Sunday 27 Feb 1921, p18 TAHS Report Number: 2021.012.0 Page 2 of 162 TASMANIAN AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Incorporated THE LOG OF THE SEA GULL The “Log” was published in weekly editions from 13 April to 14 September 1921. From a number of comments that are made in the “Log”, Captain Lang used a typewriter to record his journey in “real time”. In the “Log”, the dates each of the particular flights are only given occasionally. In the last Chapter, a summary of the flight statistics is given, which has been presented here also to aid the reader.

    Deal Island an Historical Overview

    Introduction. In June 1840 the Port Officer of Hobart Captain W. Moriarty wrote to the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, Sir John Franklin suggesting that lighthouses should be erected in Bass Strait. On February 3rd. 1841 Sir John Franklin wrote to Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales seeking his co-operation. Government House, Van Diemen’s Land. 3rd. February 1841 My Dear Sir George. ………………….This matter has occupied much of my attention since my arrival in the Colony, and recent ocurances in Bass Strait have given increased importance to the subject, within the four years of my residence here, two large barques have been entirely wrecked there, a third stranded a brig lost with all her crew, besides two or three colonial schooners, whose passengers and crew shared the same fate, not to mention the recent loss of the Clonmell steamer, the prevalence of strong winds, the uncertainty of either the set or force of the currents, the number of small rocks, islets and shoals, which though they appear on the chart, have but been imperfectly surveyed, combine to render Bass Strait under any circumstances an anxious passage for seamen to enter. The Legislative Council, Votes and Proceedings between 1841 – 42 had much correspondence on the viability of erecting lighthouses in Bass Strait including Deal Island. In 1846 construction of the lightstation began on Deal Island with the lighthouse completed in February 1848. The first keeper William Baudinet, his wife and seven children arriving on the island in March 1848. From 1816 to 1961 about 18 recorded shipwrecks have occurred in the vicinity of Deal Island, with the Bulli (1877) and the Karitane (1921) the most well known of these shipwrecks.

    Severe Storms on the East Coast of Australia 1770–2008

    SEVERE STORMS ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA 1770 – 2008 Jeff Callaghan Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Formerly Head Severe Storm Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Dr Peter Helman Senior Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Published by Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland 10 November 2008 This publication is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission from the publisher. ISBN: 978-1-921291-50-0 Foreword Severe storms can cause dramatic changes to the coast and devastation to our settlements. If we look back through history, to the first European observations by James Cook and Joseph Banks on Endeavour in 1770, we can improve our understanding of the nature of storms and indeed climate on the east coast. In times of climate change, it is essential that we understand natural climate variability that occurs in Australia. Looking back as far as we can is essential to understand how climate is likely to behave in the future. Studying coastal climate through this chronology is one element of the process. Analysis of the records has already given an indication that east coast climate fluctuates between phases of storminess and drought that can last for decades. Although records are fragmentary and not suitable for statistical analysis, patterns and climate theory can be derived. The dependence on shipping for transport and goods since European settlement ensures a good source of information on storms that gradually improves over time.
