Evans Slop Chest Front Cover – ‘Conway’ and ‘Mauretania’ by Kenneth Shoesmith 3 EDITORIAL In the last magazine we featured Louis Roskell’s picture of the Pourquoi Pas and I wrote about her skipper Captain Jean-Baptiste Charcot who married Victor Hugo’s grand-daughter and was a polar explorer. I have heard that the French cruise line company Ponant is planning to build a hybrid electric polar exploration vessel which will be propelled by liquefied natural gas which they claim is a world’s first… and it is proposed that the vessel will be named in honour of Commandant Charcot. In a recent issue of Sea Breezes magazine I noticed that the St. Helena has been in the news. Readers will recall Glyn Evans’s article about the ship. She became redundant once the new airport on St. Helena became fully operational. Since then she was renamed MNG Tahiti and based in the Middle East. She has now reverted to her former name and is currently at Portland in Dorset where it is thought that she will undergo a refit to become a private yacht. Congratulations to Honorary Life Member Richard Woodman whose book ‘The Merchant Navy’ has been named as ‘Book of the Month’ by Sea Breezes magazine. I see that it is available on Amazon. We were very sorry to hear that Honorary Life Member George Kingston slipped his cable on the 29th April 2019. We send our condolences to his family and friends. I went to an interesting lecture on board HQS Wellington and learnt that only three bodies were repatriated after World War One. One, of course, was the Unknown Warrior, the second was Edith Cavell and the third was Capt. Charles Algernon Fryatt of the ss Brussels. You can learn all about the heroic Capt. Fryatt simply by googling his name. It is a fascinating story. Incidentally we saw Edith Cavell’s gravestone during a recent visit to Norwich Cathedral. Thanks to Tony Goodhead, Jim Killen and Glyn Evans for their features. I’m sure that many other members have brilliant stories that they would like to share so please send them in. John Callcut – [email protected] 4 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS As a member of just over ten years, it was a great pleasure to receive my ‘Ten Year Tie’ from the President Stephen King at the April Ladies Night this year. This milestone for me however does not compare with the honour and respect I have for being elected as your President for the coming year. I am fully supported by a wonderful committee of very hard working and committed people who have done some amazing work recently to incorporate the club and keep the club moving forward whilst retaining the standards and quality we all enjoy. I also would like to give my sincere thanks and gratitude to the recent past presidents and committee members whom I have served with and from whom I have learnt so much. I have met many very inspiring members since joining this prestigious club and I can only say that your friendship, kindness and presence has given me a high standard to aspire to and a willingness to serve you to the best of my ability. I have a full diary of speakers for the coming year which I hope you will find most enjoyable at our forthcoming dinners. To inform you a little of my background, I was born in Nottinghamshire where I lived until I joined the Royal Navy in 1964. I retired as a Warrant Officer in 1992. My Grandfather had a career in the Royal Navy and fought at the Battle of Jutland. My father also had a full career in the RN and fought throughout WW2. 5 In 1993 I became the Fleet Safety Officer for the Geest Line. This was a short career due to the company selling its ships and going over to chartered shipping. A sad demise for a once much respected shipping line. From there I moved to Black Rod’s Department in the House of Lords as a Doorkeeper. I retired in 2011 as a Senior Doorkeeper. I still do some part-time work there in the Banqueting Department as a Banqueting Usher and Toastmaster, which I very much enjoy. I live in Portsmouth with my wife Carol. We are members of the Camping and Caravanning Club and have owned a motorhome since 1989. My two other lifelong pursuits are motorcycling and fly fishing. I look forward to your company at our dinners and other events over the next twelve months, and to sharing with you the pleasure and enjoyment that these gatherings provide in maintaining our club aims. Bob Jones PAST PRESIDENT’S FAREWELL ADDRESS On reflection of my Presidency and the past twelve months one realises how quickly it has gone! The past year has been an honour and a great privilege to serve you, the Club members. 6 My gratitude goes to the Committee for their hard work, support and encouragement throughout my year in office. I would like to use the opportunity to say a special thank-you to Louis Roskell – IPP, who has supported me and stepped in where there have been clashes due to my work commitments. To James O’Neill, who has guided the transfer of the Club to a limited company. And of course to Ray Kay – the Hon Sec, Derek Bevan – the Hon Treasurer, and Martyn Taylor – the Hon Dinner Sec, who make our enjoyable dinners a reality! Mr Bob Jones, who has supported me and has been an excellent Vice over this last year, will succeed me. I am sure he will be a friendly, fair, yet resolute President who will serve you well during the coming year. I would like to wish you and your family best wishes and I look forward to many dinners to come. Stephen ‘Jan’ KIng MBE SECRETARY’S CORNER Secretary’s message from the chart table I hope that, like me, you are already enjoying a good summer even though it doesn’t officially start for a few more days. My official summer starts the day after our AGM which this year went smoothly and launched us on a new course in a new ship as a limited company. A stable and efficient vessel to carry us into the future whatever it may bring. Thank you for your support. The AGM was a time to say thank you to our retiring president, Stephen (Jan) King MBE who has served us so well. Welcome to Bob Jones as our new president and Tony Goodhead as Mr Vice. I also want to say a big thank you to Louis Roskell who is stepping down after three years of dedicated and skilled leadership as Mr Vice, President and IPP. My final thanks on your behalf are to James O’Neill who does an outstanding job as your Almoner and has put much valuable work into the incorporation. 7 We have two vacancies on our committee and would especially welcome younger or newer members to bring new ideas and fresh thinking to keep us UpToDate in this fast-changing world. If you have even the least interest in helping to run your club, please let me know. We are beginning to put some good plans in place for our 100th year but need your input. In particular we need to decide who will have the privilege and responsibility of being our President for this momentous year. Your suggestions are welcome. As a committee we don’t work in isolation and we welcome your ideas, comments and suggestions by phone, email or text. I will be sailing the Adriatic for most of the summer but communications there are extremely good, and I have unlimited calls and data, so you can text, call, What’sApp, Instagram or email me anytime. If I happen to be tacking, pumping the bilges, bleeding the engine or whatever, I will get back to you as soon as I can. I look forward to seeing you in September for the start of a really good season which Bob has lined up for us.

  • Barton Village and the Great War 1914-1918 Anthony Ewen
    Barton Village And The Great War 1914-1918 Anthony Ewen BARTON VILLAGE & THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Contents Introduction and Personal Note Map Street by Street Meaning of Terms The Fallen Events Timeline The Armistice and After The Survivors Cemeteries and Memorials Acknowledgements BARTON VILLAGE & THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Introduction Like almost every community in the country, Barton Village felt the tragedy of the conflict. The war memorial in the church of St Paul’s Barton commemorates the names of 124 men who lost their lives, whilst the memorial for Barton School repeats the names of the 70 former pupils who died and confirms that 750 former Barton Boys took part in the hostilities, one of whom was awarded the Military Cross and six the Military Medal. Barton School Memorial St Paul’s Church Barton Memorial The early patriotic fervour that greeted the outbreak of war and the later introduction of conscription saw the young men of the community sign up for duty across the range of military services, so, along with the more expected signings to ‘local’ regiments such as The Hampshire Regiment and The Isle Of Wight Rifles we see men enlisted in battalions of the Army further afield and the Royal Navy. In some cases men are identified with overseas Regiments (Australia and Canada) and it is probably the case that, whilst being born on the Isle of Wight and attending Barton School, these emigrated prior to 1914 due to the severe local unemployment situation at home. The Isle of Wight County Press (IWCP) on 26 September 1914, under a heading of ‘The Island Roll of Honour’, began printing lists of Island men already involved in the conflict.

  • Application of Link Integrity Techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Department of Electronics and Computer Science A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD Supervisor: Prof. Wendy Hall and Dr Les Carr Examiner: Dr Nick Gibbins Application of Link Integrity techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web by Rob Vesse February 10, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD by Rob Vesse As the Web of Linked Data expands it will become increasingly important to preserve data and links such that the data remains available and usable. In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.

Despite a plethora of undeniable facts presented by myself and members of the Red Sea Wreck Academy, self proclaiming experts still, for reasons known only to themselves, continued to quote the MARCUS as the CHRISOULA K. It was archive photographs from Howard Rosenstien and the location of the ships bell, which added weight to Stephan Jablonski’s accounts of the sinkings’. This new material gave us enough to produce the first E book in 2008. Being free from restrictions it soon found its way around the world and was passed on from diver to diver. It had the desired effect-Now more and more reports carry the correct identity.
