    38 WacanaWacana Vol. Vol. 17 No. 17 No. 1 (2016): 1 (2016) 38–67 Horst H. Liebner and David Van Dyke, An account of the loss of the “Forbes“ 39 An account of the loss of the Country Ship Forbes and Frazer Sinclair, her late Commander Horst H. Liebner and David Van Dyke Abstract This paper reports on the life of the English Country trader Captain Frazer Sinclair leading up to and following the loss of the Forbes in the Karimata Strait in 1806. It examines the adventure and tenuous times of trading around the Indonesian archipelago after the fall of the VOC and subsequent transfer to the British. Included are the details of Captain Sinclair’s trading history, multiple prizes as a privateer, and shipwrecks. Keywords English Country trade; Captain Frazer Sinclair; opium; privateer; Forbes; Karimata Strait; Letter of Marque. Running before a favourable easterly wind well into the third hour of 11 September 1806, the British country ship1 Forbes, out of Calcutta under Captain Frazer Sinclair, most unexpectedly “struck and stuck on a reef of rocks at the South entrance of the Straits of Billiton” (Figure 1).2 1 A ship which was employed in the local trade in Asia and the Far East was known as a Country Ship. These ships were owned by local shipowners in the east, many of which had long standing connections with the Company. As well as collecting cargo from outlying places to particular ports, ready for loading on the Regular ships for transhipment to England, the Country ships traded freely all year round [http://www.eicships.info/help/shiprole.html].

    WORLD WAR TWO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS on the SOUTHEAST COAST of MAURITIUS: a PRELIMINARY SURVEY Geoffrey and Françoise Summers

    1 WORLD WAR TWO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS ON THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF MAURITIUS: A PRELIMINARY SURVEY Geoffrey and Françoise Summers INTRODUCTION In World War Two (WWII) the island of Mauritius, which had been a part of the British Empire since 1810, became an important base for the Royal Navy fleet in the Indian Ocean: first as a Royal Navy Air Station principally for hunting Japanese and German submarines, and also as a centre of communications.1 A number of installations were constructed for coastal defence in the event of bombardment or attempted invasion as well as for the storage of fuel and ammunition. The financial burden and the cost in manpower to the small colony of Mauritius would have been substantial. No comprehensive record of these defensive structures, or of the military landscape exists, although there are some records scattered amongst various archives in Mauritius that have yet to be collected and collated.2 Constructed 70 or so years ago most of these structures are now to a greater or lesser degree ruinous because the reinforced concrete from which they were largely constructed has degraded with time and, more seriously, has often split apart as iron reinforcement has corroded. Vegetation too has taken its toll as roots split walling apart. Modern development poses several threats. These include new National Coast Guard installations at Pointe Diable, both on the elevated nose of the ridge and at the foot, encroachment by garden agriculture, and the robbing of basalt blocks. The purposes of this preliminary survey of extant remains along the southeast coast were, firstly, to assess the extent of the remains; secondly, to gauge their condition; thirdly, to make recommendations concerning their cultural heritage value; and lastly, to begin a photographic and written catalogue.
