Medlemmer var kaptein A. Bjerkholdt-Hansen, som foreningens daværende formann, samt kaptein Narvesen og konsul Ths. Arbo Høeg. Senere trådte losoldermann H. M. Hansen inn i egenskap av foreningens nyvalgte formann, og derefter havnefogd Ole Jørgensen. Efter anmodning påtok Ths. Arbo Høeg sig å skrive boken om Larviks Sjømannsforening gjennom de 100 år, idet han dog forbeholdt sig å utvide rammen til også å gjelde byens skibsfart i samme tidsrom. Dette var komiteen enig i. - Vi håper at boken, slik som den foreligger, vil være av interesse først og fremst for Larviksfolk og utflyttede Larvikensere, men også for sjøfarts- interesserte i sin almindelighet.

Elligers». «Larviks Sjømannsforening 1849 - 1949» 4 DET VAR den 9. februar 1849 man holdt det forberedende møte til dannelse av foreningen efter tiltak av daværende stortingsmann, Krigskommissær Broch. Den 16. mars s. å. holdtes det konstituerende møte i «Laurvigs Bys Raadhus», som dengang var den ærverdige gamle Herregården. Forut for dette møte hadde 65 av byens borgere tegnet sig som medlemmer av den vordende forening. De fleste var skibsførere eller redere, men man savnet heller ikke representanter for de store købmannsfamilier som dengang alltid hadde interesse som parthavere i skutene. Øvrigheten var også godt representert med Amtmannen, Byfogden og Fogden. For å friske opp kjente Larviksnavn fra den tid, gjengis her listen over de første medlemmer: Krigskommissær Broch Styrmann K.

I det forslag til statutter som forelå på det konstituerende møte «Larviks Sjømannsforening 1849 - 1949» 6 Larviks havn. Isvinter. og som blev vedtatt som gjeldende inntil første ordinære generalforsamling, betegnes foreningens formål på følgende måte: «At virke for søfartens og sømandstandens interesser, især til udbredelse af practiske og theoretiske sømandskundskaber samt til standens fremadskriden i dannelse og moralitet.» Det er ingen tilfeldighet at Sjømannsforeningen blev startet i 1849. Man stod overfor den store vending i den internasjonale skibsfart. De engelske navigasjonslover var dømt og måtte vike plassen til fordel for frihandel. Våre redere og kapteiner så chansen og rustet sig for kampen i det åpne marked. - Nye skuter blev bygget og tonnasje innkjøpt fra utlandet. - Farten på Nordsjøen og Østersjøen kunde ikke lenger tilfredsstille. Med friskt pågangsmot blev fartøiene sendt lenger avsted, først til Middelhavet, senere til Vestindien og Nordamerika og efterhvert til alle verdens havner. Den nye forening fikk nok å arbeide med. Fra autoritetene fikk den oversendt til behandling alle forslag til nye lover på skibsfartens område. Selv gikk den aktivt inn med mange forslag i årene fremover. De viktigste av de saker som ble behandlet, vil bli optatt i et annet «Larviks Sjømannsforening 1849 - 1949» 7 Skonnert «Harmonien» af Laurvig kapitel. Her skal bare nevnes endel fra foreningens indre liv, idet vi tar med litt om dens meningsytringer om aktuelle spørsmål. Medlemstallet og fremmøtet har variert gjennom årenes løp. I 1853 nevnes det flere gange i protokollen at der var få medlemmer tilstede på grunn av at sjøfolkene var ute. Det var langreiser som begynte å gjøre sig gjeldende. - Budgettet for 1854 viste en inntekt på 74,- Spd. og en utgift på 60,- Spd. Straks efter sin start fikk foreningen oversendt et brev fra Bruksbestyrer og skibsreder M. Treschow, hvormed fulgte 2 bøker, nemlig: «The Kedge Anchor or Yong sailors assistant» og «The Shipsmaster assistant and commercial digest», som han mente måtte inneholde meget nyttig for sjømenn og derfor bør få en plass i det bibliotek som foreningen var iferd med å samle. Disse bøker finnes fremdeles i foreningens bibliotek. Fra Skibsreder L. Sartz forelå en skrivelse med tilbud av: en årsberetning om Gravelines, Firth of Forth og Cronstad samt 2det bind av Port Charges, alt for innkjøpspris £ 0-14-6d. Dette tilbud blev antatt. I 1859 rettet foreningen henvendelse til Telegrafdirektøren angående daglige meldinger om vindens retning og værets beskaffenhet «Larviks Sjømannsforening 1849 - 1949» 8 Los Ulabrand efter Skeibroks byste. m. v. Dette blev imøtekommet, og foreningen betalte senere tilskudd til værvarslingen, som den anså for meget viktig. I 1867 finnes følgende resolusjon innført i protokollen: «Paa norske skib bør bruges norsk søsprog. Kjærligheden til Fædrelandet og til alt hvad Fædrelandets er, - vor berettigede stolthed over den høie rang vor handelsflaade indtager, de senere aars bestrebelser for at rense modermaalet for fremmede tilsætninger: Alt dette er uforenlig med den uskik at kommandere norske skibe paa engelsk. Denne uskik har faaet hævd, men vedbliver ligefuldt at være en uskik, der bør søges afskaffet. De norske kommandoord er ligesaa korte og bestemte som de engelske, de er tydeligere, eftersom de udtrykker hvad de skulle, medens nogle av de engelske er ganske meningsløse. Altsaa er det hverken nødvendigt eller nyttigt at beholde de fremmede ord. I betragtning herav have de tilstedeværende skibsførere erklæret at vilde i, fremtiden benytte norske kommandoord ved alle manøvrer og navnlig at kommandere stagvendinger paa følgende maade: Ror i læ Skjød og hals Bras om agter Bras om for Hal klyver Skjød (eller: Hal forstagsseil-skjøder) Skjærp overalt (hvis dette ikke er gjort under ombrasningen). «Larviks Sjømannsforening 1849 - 1949» 9 «Gustav Wasa» af Laurvig. Kaptein H. I. Hesselberg I 1868 var medlemstallet 41. Den 10. februar står protokollert at «formanden i nærvær af politibetjent Bredahl aabnet bøssen for Sømandsmissionen, hvilken bøsse forsynet med Provst Munthes segl har henstaaet hos Lodsoldermand Kjeldsen. Indholdet blev optalt og udgjorde Spd. 21,- foruden en sølvpenge uden præg». Foreningen stod i mange år for Larvik avdeling av Sjømandsmisjonen og innsamlet pene beløp til dens formål. Samme år fremlas innbydelse og program for den påtenkte regatta i Stavanger den 3. august og følgende dager. Følgende forslag blev vedtatt: 1. Af selskabets midler stilles et beløb af indtil 50,- Spd. til direktionens raadighed for at anvende som bidrag til afsendelse af en af de af baadbygger Nicolai Hansen, Ula, eller Tenvig i Tjølling byggede losbaader, ledsaget af en dygtig los saavelsom af baadbygger, for at deltage i regattaen i Stavanger. 2. Herom underrettes Kommunalbestyrelsen i Laurvig med henstilling om at yde sagen anerkjendelse ved af kommunens midler at bevilge et passende beløb. «Larviks Sjømannsforening 1849 - 1949» 10 Commandør Ferry Sakfører M I. Hesselberg Sjømannsforeningen fikk beveget los Ole Villumsen av Nevlung-havn til å delta med sin skjøite «Søblomsten». Både Villumsen og båtbyggeren Nicolai Hansen, Tjølling, fikk premie. I samme møte gjordes foreningens medlemmer opmerksom på den i disse dager cirkulerende innbydelse til anskaffelse av et dampskib for Laurvig. Først i 1869 støter man på en protokolltilførsel om festlig samvær, idet medlemmene, som det står skrevet «efter at mødet var hævet forbleve fremdeles som deltagere i en arrangeret festlig tilstelning». Enten festet de mindre i gamle dage - hvilket kan betviles - eller også var de meget

    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

  • SS HJØRDIS “The Forgotten Ship”
    SS HJØRDIS “The Forgotten Ship” Sue Gresham Historical Research Volunteer Researched December 2016 Revised October 2020 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SS Hjørdis FOREWORD The wreck of the iron steamship SS Hjørdis (English equivalent pronunciation “Yurdis”) has lain off Blakeney Point since she was wrecked and went aground in February 1916. Almost a “ghost ship”, little was known locally about the Hjørdis or of the circumstances which caused her to go aground so close to the shoreline. It was surmised that she might have been the victim of a wartime attack. As the sand moved in, the wreck became almost completely covered. Between 2015 and 2016, the channel moved half a mile to the east and the flow of water over the wreck scoured her out. Exposed by the tides and shifting sands, large sections of the vessel’s hull and deck were uncovered and became clearly visible just below the waterline. SS Hjørdis - 2016 It was particularly poignant that in 2016, one hundred years after the Hjørdis went down, the ship showed herself once again and, as a result, there was a revival of interest in her. My original research in 2016 marked the one hundredth anniversary of the disaster. It presented the history of the ship, her construction, history of ownership, her voyages and the sequence of events which caused her to run aground. It described the attempts that were made to save the vessel and her crew members, outlined how widely the disaster was reported, and speculated on whether the considerable loss of life could have been averted. This updated report includes new information which adds to our knowledge of the Hjørdis and the men who crewed her, not least the man who, against all odds, was the sole survivor.
