  • September, 2013 Volume Xxx, # 8
    SEPTEMBER, 2013 VOLUME XXX, # 8 Friday, September 27 - 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan A Norwegian Coastal Voyage aboard m.s. LOFOTEN By Greg Fitzgerald Hurtigruten's LOFOTEN of 1964 is a final link to traditional coastal steamers along the Norwegian coast. Running in regular service on an 11-day round-trip run from Bergen, across the Arctic Circle, and up to Kirkenes in the far north of Norway, the little LOFOTEN shares this route with her larger and more modern Hurtigruten fleetmates. However, a voyage on LOFOTEN is something far beyond the experience of the modern Hurtigruten ships. It is a voyage to another time, on a ship which boasts many of the same features whose loss ship lovers have lamented as the last classic ocean liners went to the breakers in recent years. As LOFOTEN never leaves Norwegian waters in passenger service, she is not subject to the same SOLAS restrictions that international ships are; thus, she is filled with rich woods, gorgeous traditional artwork, and a cozy atmosphere. Branch Secretary Greg Fitzgerald will take us along on this 6-day journey, which he took in April 2013, and share what makes LOFOTEN so special to her enamored fans. He will share photos of the ship among the stunning Norwegian scenery, and describe the special atmosphere onboard and the stops along the historic coastal express route. Hurtigruten’s LOFOTEN at dockside in Rorvik, Norway. (Greg Fitzgerald) The 1964-built LOFOTEN, a veteran of the Norwegian coastal route for almost 50 years.

  • 'A Little Light on What's Going On!'
    Volume VII, No. 69 ~ Winter 2014-2015 Starshell ‘A little light on what’s going on!’ CANADA IS A MARITIME NATION A maritime nation must take steps to protect and further its interests, both in home waters and with friends in distant waters. Canada therefore needs a robust and multipurpose Royal Canadian Navy. National Magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada www.navalassoc.ca On our cover… To date, the Royal Canadian Navy’s only purpose-built, ice-capable Arctic Patrol Vessel, HMCS Labrador, commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy July 8th, 1954, ‘poses’ in her frozen natural element, date unknown. She was a state-of-the- Starshell art diesel electric icebreaker similar in design to the US Coast Guard’s Wind-class ISSN-1191-1166 icebreakers, however, was modified to include a suite of scientific instruments so it could serve as an exploration vessel rather than a warship like the American Coast National magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Guard vessels. She was the first ship to circumnavigate North America when, in Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada 1954, she transited the Northwest Passage and returned to Halifax through the Panama Canal. When DND decided to reduce spending by cancelling the Arctic patrols, Labrador was transferred to the Department of Transport becoming the www.navalassoc.ca CGSS Labrador until being paid off and sold for scrap in 1987.

This set of china includes the following pieces: two (2) 10" round plates, three (3) 9 1/2" round plates, one (1) 10" novelty plate, one (1) 9 1/4" x 7" oval plate, one (1) 7 1/4" round plate, four (4) 6" round plates, one (1) ceramic drinking pitcher, one (1) cappachino cup and saucer (diameter of 4 1/2"), two (2) coffee cups and saucers (diameter 4"), one (1) 3 1/2" round cup, one (1) 3" x 3" round cup, one (1) 2 1/2" x 3" drinking glass, one (1) mini cognac glass, two (2) 2" x 4 1/2" shot glasses, three (3) drinking glasses, one (1) 3" x 5" wine glass, two (2) 4 1/2" x 8 3/4" silver dishes. The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

His father was Calvin Oak Bryant of Lakeland, Florida; his mother Nellie Schofield of Corozal, Belize, which is a seaside town now considered a great expat relocation destination.

  • Union-Castle Purserette by Ann Haynes
    June 2021 VOLUME XXXVIII, # VI Friday, June 25, 2021 – VIA ZOOM at 6:00 PM UNION-CASTLE PURSERETTE BY ANN HAYNES For our June meeting, Ann Haynes will share how she came to join the famous Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company as a Purserette at sea. According to Ann, “The lavender-hulled Mail ships sailed from the English port of Southampton on a regular weekly liner service to South Africa, carrying passengers and cargo, and the first Mail ship I joined was TRANSVAAL CASTLE. It was hard work during the six-week voyage, but never dull. Over the years I served on other Union-Castle Line Mail ships such as the CAPETOWN CASTLE and the EDINBURGH CASTLE, and went to unexpected ports, including Ascension Island and St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, as well as Cape Town and other ports in South Africa.” Ann will share many pictures of the life she led and the uniforms she wore, and talk about her duties on board, including typing numerous passenger lists at every port, taking part in the Crossing the Line (Equator) ceremony, and helping to run passenger entertainments on board, as she sailed to and from South Africa. Ann wrote home regularly to her parents and took lots of pictures, which became the basis for her book, “Union-Castle Line Purserette.” She is always happy to share with others the memories and pictures of her interesting and enjoyable life. Union-Castle Line’s TRANSVAAL CASTLE approaching Cape Town (above, left) and EDINBURGH CASTLE departing (above, right).

It was impossible to discover who had numbered the label, and therefore it was difficult to trace the dealer who smuggled the drug. Another of the labels bore the certificate of the Imperial Hygienic Laboratory, with the number 7984 and the date of August 1927. According to the investigations made by the Osaka Hygienic Laboratory, this number was put on the 141 bottles of 25 grammes each and 2 bottles of 5 grammes each filled on the application of Gohei Ianake, of Osaka.
