A service for the Book of Remembrance was hosted by the Maritime Foundation at the Mariners' Chapel of All Hallows by the Tower.

During the service a bunch of blue and white flowers was laid beside the Book of Remembrance – a moving tribute.

As always, it was a very convivial occasion, affording us another opportunity to sample Mansion House hospitality in the Old Ballroom on the second floor, and it was unique in that Mr Allan Kill was sworn in as a Freeman immediately following the lunch and is, to this Clerk’s knowledge, the first Scrivener to be accorded the distinction of being admitted to the Company in the Lord Mayor’s residence. That he looked a little bemused was perhaps to be expected, especially as the Lord Mayor gave him a personal mention in his address.

  • Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment of Proposed Aquaculture Areas 1, 6 and 7, Algoa Bay, Eastern Cape Province
    MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED AQUACULTURE AREAS 1, 6 AND 7, ALGOA BAY, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE Assessment conducted under Section 38 (8) of the National Heritage Resources Act (No. 25 of 1999) as part of a Basic Assessment Prepared for Anchor Research & Monitoring (Pty) Ltd On behalf of Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries February 2019 Prepared by John Gribble ACO Associates cc Physical: Unit D17, Prime Park, 21 Mocke Rd, Diep River Postal: 8 Jacobs Ladder St James, 7945 [email protected] Tel: 021 7064104 Cell: 078 616 2961 Fax to e-mail: 086 603 7195 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACO Associates cc has been requested by Anchor Research & Monitoring (Pty) Ltd on behalf of Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries to undertake a desktop maritime archaeological impact assessment of three areas within Algoa Bay under consideration as aquaculture areas, namely Algoa 1, 6 and 7. This maritime heritage assessment report, supported by recommendations for implementable mitigation measures will form part of a Basic Assessment for the proposed development of aquaculture in Algoa Bay. Findings: In respect of submerged prehistoric archaeological potential, this assessment indicates that although there have, to date, been no specific studies of the submerged prehistory of Algoa Bay, the archaeological evidence for a hominin presence in the Algoa Bay region in the Earlier, Middle and Later Stone Age is plentiful. At various times in the last 900,000 global glacial cycles have caused substantial drops in sea level and the current seabed of Algoa Bay would have been exposed as a terrestrial landscape. Ancient river courses, whose channels are today buried under modern seabed sediment, would have been an important focus for hominin activity on the exposed continental shelf in the past and there is the potential for the occurrence of ancient, submerged archaeological material in association with palaeo- river channels.

While flying for this company, Paul Jordan looks back 100 years to an Old Eastbournian’s involvement in the he was involved in an incident in early days of civil aviation August 1920 when the plane he was piloting crashed shortly after take-off. Minutes after leaving the newly-opened Croydon Airport, a technical fault caused him to crash- land in the back gardens of houses in nearby Wallington, narrowly missing a railway line. A newspaper at the time reported that among the six passengers were ‘two Americans and a press pho- tographer’, including film star Owen Moore, recently divorced from the actress Mary Pickford. No-one was hurt and all were evacuated safely thanks to Holmes’s quick thinking in releasing the escape hatches situated in the roof of the plane. The report ended on a dramatic note, stating that three little children who had been playing in the garden had returned indoors minutes before the crash. The following year, he flew with the Dutch airline KLM for three months before joining the Instone An AT&TC plane of the period Air Line Company.
