Your Editor has duly lost pay and rum ration! The Committee has been considering matters of governance and strategy. At the AGM, proposals to update the constitution in line with recent Charity Commission recommendations were agreed. Our thanks are due to Helen Doe for undertaking the laborious task of identifying the differences between our current Constitution-itself approved at the time by the Commission- and the new model version. Unsurprisingly in this day and age, it is about 3 times as long, but actually says pretty much the same things.

  • Hamble History Meetings
    SS Shieldhall 14th June 2012 - Roy Underdown Pavilion During the early 1980s village residents would see a smart well maintained grey steamship going past Hamble’s Southampton Water foreshore, travelling from Southampton to south of the Isle of Wight and back most days. Few of them knew what she was carrying and most would be surprised but Graham Mackenzie gave the full details to the Society in an interesting illustrated talk about this ship, the ‘SS Shieldhall’. Graham told the Society that ‘Shieldhall’ was designed and built to carry sewerage waste from the river Clyde in Scotland and this was the same cargo she was carrying when Hamble residents saw her pass by. He gave the history of the previous sewerage boats that operated on the Clyde before ‘Shieldhall’ was built in 1955, the second ship to carry this name. The ‘Shieldhall’ is 268 ft in length and her construction and machinery is similar to that of the ‘Titanic’. She cost £28,000 to build and her normal operating speed is 9 knots, powered by two 800hp steam engines and her boilers fuelled by oil. She needed a crew of 12 to operate and her 1800 tons of sewerage took 20 minutes to discharge in an approved deep water location. Interestingly she also carried up to 80 passengers on her regular trips. Due to high operating costs she was laid up in 1976, but the Southern Water Authority (SWA) purchased her £45,000 and subsequently brought her to Southampton from Glasgow. SWA had to spend a similar amount on repairs and had to wait until a previous sewerage shipping contract had expired before ‘Shieldhall’ could start to be used in 1981.

  • 500Th Voyage for SS Shieldhall As Charity Celebrates
    500th voyage for SS Shieldhall as Charity celebrates The Solent Steam Packet Limited, the charity operating Southampton’s heritage steamship SS Shieldhall, are celebrating as the vessel recently embarked upon her 500th voyage since charitable status began in 1988. Originally constructed in 1955 as a vessel to carry treated sludge down the River Clyde to the dumping grounds for the Glasgow Corporation, Shieldhall was sold to Southern Water in 1977 to perform a similar role out of Southampton. Her role was discontinued due to rising costs and Shieldhall was due to be sold for scrap. However, a group of enterprising individuals saw her heritage value, forming the charity and purchasing her for her scrap price of £20k. Amongst the 500 sailings since have been been trips to Dordrecht in Holland and to her home port of Glasgow for Shieldhall’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2005. Although currently limited to sailing in Solent waters (with passengers) it is hoped to extend the list of cruise destinations in future years. Shieldhall’s 500th sailing saw her set sail at 10am on Sat 1 July for an all day Solent cruise, giving passengers the opportunity to enjoy the spectacle of what turned out to be a record breaking Round the Island Yacht Race. As with all Shieldhall cruises, passengers were able to see the impressive Shieldhall engine room with its original steam engines at work, and the Bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork. Warm weather also meant the bar and saloon were busy with a steady stream of visitors for Shieldhall’s renowned real ale, bacon butties and ice cream! Shieldhall Chief Engineer Graham Mackenzie was delighted at reaching the 500th voyage milestone.
