The collision-damaged destroyer FITZGERALD departed Fleet Activities<br />
Yokosuka on 24th November to meet the heavy lift transport vessel TRANSSHELF<br />
and begin her journey to Pascagoula, Mississippi, for further repairs.<br />
FITZGERALD was towed to deep water to begin the heavy lift process, which was<br />
expected to last several days. On 30th November it was reported that<br />
FITZGERALD had returned to Fleet Activities Yokosuka to repair further to<br />
damage received while aboard the TRANSSHELF. Thus, FITZGERALD suffered<br />
two punctures in her hull caused by the heavy lift vessel’s steel support structure<br />
during on load process. Repairs were expected to take a few days, after which<br />
TRANSSHELF would transport FITZGERALD to Huntington Ingalls Industries in<br />
Pascagoula for further repairs and upgrades.<br />
Meanwhile, in late November, another collision-damaged Arleigh Burke class<br />
destroyer, JOHN S. MCCAIN, left Subic Bay aboard the heavy lift transport vessel<br />
TREASURE en route for Yokosuka for repairs. The guided-missile destroyer, which<br />
collided with the oil tanker ALNIC MC on 21st August near Singapore, had been<br />
en route to Yokosuka aboard the heavy lift vessel on 22nd October when it<br />
changed course to Subic Bay, Philippines. The decision was based on new<br />
cracks discovered in the ship’s hull and severe weather caused by Typhoon Lan.<br />
USN technicians determined that JOHN S. McCAIN needed additional blocks to<br />
support her aboard the TREASURE before proceeding onwards to her home port<br />
of Yokosuka for lengthy repairs.<br />

WSPL SHOWCASE<br />
Twelve ships built in 1923<br />
The year 1923 was not an auspicious one for ship construction. The<br />
Starke/Schell Registers list just 543 ships over 300gt completed worldwide that<br />
year, compared with 758 in 1922, 1,166 in 1921 and a massive 1,688 in 1920.<br />
Over-ordering in immediate post-war years meant a surplus of ships and, with<br />
freight rates fallen to rock-bottom levels, by 1923 only cash-rich or overconfident<br />
owners would accept even the cut-price offers made by builders desperate to<br />
keep their yards operating. Several of the ships featured were laid down during<br />
the immediate post-war boom, but were completed agonisingly slowly, in one<br />
case only when a buyer was at last found. Despite the circumstances of their<br />
birth, all the ships illustrated and described here had creditably long careers,<br />
with one being still afloat today. The Second World War meant that by no means<br />
all 1923 completions were so fortunate, and it should be noted that most of the<br />
photographs here were taken post-war.<br />
The First World War must take some of the blame for the decline of British<br />
shipbuilding, but in truth the industry had been seriously challenged by yards in<br />
continental Europe for some years. However, the Admiralty’s insistence that<br />
almost all merchant ship construction must cease in favour of warships did allow<br />
some countries, especially the Netherlands and Japan, to expand their output.<br />
The former specialised in coasters, and Dutch yards continued to be very<br />
successful in this area post-war, as witness the coastal tanker BEN ROBINSON<br />
(290gt). Builders were Scheepswerf en Machinefabriek de Liesbosch of<br />
Utrecht, although her power came from a triple-expansion engine built by William<br />
Beardmore and Co. Ltd. at Coatbridge in Scotland. One wonders whether this<br />
was a piece of surplus equipment, perhaps intended for a cancelled small<br />
warship. Choice of steam machinery was unexpected, as her owners were the<br />
National Benzole Co. Ltd., recently formed to market for use in internal<br />
combustion engines the light fractions of oil which were a by-product of gas<br />
production. However, annotations in ‘Lloyd’s Register’ show that she did burn oil<br />
fuel rather than coal.<br />
In 1949 BEN ROBINSON was sold to Cory Brothers and Co. Ltd. of Cardiff to<br />
become CORY BROTHERS, but she is deleted from the 1952 ‘Lloyd’s Register’<br />
as being broken up. Coastal tankers are under-researched, and those of<br />
National Benzole in particular could prove an interesting little research project.<br />
13
COCHRANE (7,203gt) enjoyed a long career with just one owner, although initial<br />
registration with the African Steamship Company (Elder, Dempster and Co. Ltd.,<br />
managers) changed to Elder Dempster Lines Ltd. in 1933. Builders were John<br />
Brown and Co. Ltd., Clydebank, for whom she was yard number 597, completed<br />
in March. COCHRANE was the second of a quartet for service between South<br />
Africa and Canada, the others being CALGARY (7,206/21), CALUMET (7,268/23)<br />
and CARIBOO (7,275/24). Turbine driven, with a speed of 12 knots, they could<br />
accommodate eight first class passengers in double-berth cabins. Surviving the<br />
Second World War, COCHRANE was sent to breakers at Hendrik-ido-Ambacht in<br />
April 1958.<br />
FLORENCE COOKE (294gt) provides a contrast in size but not longevity with<br />
COCHRANE, surviving until 1959. Owners for her entire career were Cookes<br />
Explosives Ltd. of Penrhyndeudraeth, North Wales, although she worked mainly<br />
from Porthmadog. With the shipbuilding recession, Hepples (1919) Ltd. of South<br />
Shields built her for a very economical £10,000.<br />
Her job was to bring in raw materials for the explosive works to the company’s<br />
wharf at Porthmadog and to take away finished products. She had a hinged<br />
funnel and masts to enable her to sail up the Tyne to Leamington and Newburn,<br />
where she discharged explosives. She also took explosives from Porthmadog to<br />
the Mersey for trans-shipment, to the Channel Isles and Lelant in Cornwall, to<br />
Armstrong’s factory at Scotswood and to Irvine for Nobel’s plant at Ardeer. She<br />
14
would often return to Porthmadog with a cargo of coal, and just occasionally<br />
would undertake a voyage outside her owner’s trade, making at least one trip to<br />
Ireland with timber and returning with potatoes. She also carried the occasional<br />
passenger.<br />
In post-war years it gradually became more economical to move explosives<br />
by road than by sea, and consequently in February 1959 ‘Old Florrie’, as she was<br />
known, arrived at Rotterdam on her way to be broken up by N.V. Maschinehandel<br />
en Scheepsloperij ‘De Koophandel’ at Nieuwe Lekkerland.<br />
The shortage of ships, and particularly coasters, apparent at the end of the First<br />
World War encouraged a number of optimistic builders to open or expand yards<br />
to cater for the expected demand. Few were to prosper, including the yard of<br />
Cardiff ship owner Sven Hansen at Northam near Bideford, the Hansen Ship<br />
Building and Shiprepairing Co. Ltd. Extensive conversion of the old shipyard at<br />
Northam to build in steel was necessary, plus recruiting a workforce and<br />
equipping an existing yard at Appledore to fit out and complete vessels. As a<br />
result, the first keel was not laid until November 1919, launched only in October<br />
1920, and not ready for sea until January 1921. By now freight rates had<br />
dropped precipitously, and few owners wanted coasters, so of the first six<br />
vessels built at Northam, five were built for Hansen himself and registered in the<br />
ownership of the Hansen Shipping Co. Ltd. This included yard number five,<br />
RUNNELSTONE (869gt), completed in January 1923. She was a substantial<br />
vessel, large for a coaster at 190 feet and quite capable of making voyages<br />
outside home waters.<br />
Although the yard built four coasters for Spillers the millers, no other<br />
substantial orders came its way to help recoup the massive investment that had<br />
been necessary, and in October 1924 creditors petitioned for bankruptcy, and<br />
the Hansen Ship Building and Shiprepairing Co. Ltd. was duly wound up. As if<br />
this was not enough, just one month later the ships of Hansen Shipping Co. Ltd.<br />
were repossessed by their mortgagees and sold off. Three of the coasters,<br />
including RUNNELSTONE, went to Stone and Rolfe of Llanelli, who did not need<br />
to change their names. RUNNELSTONE was kept for 22 years, moving in 1946<br />
to R.H. Penney and Sons, Shoreham to become ALGEIBA. Her final owner was<br />
John S. Monks and Co. Ltd. of Liverpool, something of a collector of antique<br />
coasters, who bought her in 1954 and renamed her FOAMVILLE as seen here.<br />
Alas, she found notoriety under this name, as on 21.3.1961 she collided with the<br />
sand carrier MARY P. COOPER (953/96) near Warrington, the latter sinking and<br />
all but blocking the Manchester Ship Canal for several weeks. FOAMVILLE, her<br />
master and owner seem to have escaped prosecution for severely disrupting the<br />
Port of Manchester, but the ageing FOAMVILLE paid the price, and in April she<br />
was despatched to Preston for breaking up by T.W. Ward Ltd.<br />

FRANCONIA (20,158gt) was the third of five intermediate ships which Cunard<br />
ordered to replace First World War losses. She was laid down by John Brown<br />
and Co. Ltd. at Clydebank in August 1919, but work was suspended because of<br />
high building costs, and she was not launched until October 1922. The delay –<br />
she did not enter service until May 1923 – allowed her accommodation to be<br />
modified, and she became the first ship built as a dual-purpose transatlantic liner<br />
and world-wide cruise vessel. Although her maiden (and many later) voyages<br />
began in Liverpool and ended in New York, she spent much of the 1920s and<br />
early 1930s either cruising out of New York or on charter to Furness for New York<br />
to Bermuda sailings. More prosaically, the later 1930s were occupied largely with<br />
liner voyages from Liverpool, Southampton or London to New York.<br />
Wartime service as a troop ship and later as Churchill’s headquarters ship at<br />
the Yalta Conference required a lengthy refit by her builders. She re-entered<br />
service in June 1949 with a Liverpool to Quebec sailing, remaining on the North<br />
Atlantic for the remainder of her career. With new intermediate ships arriving in<br />
the 1950s, she was sold for scrap and arrived at Inverkeithing for demolition by<br />
T.W. Ward Ltd. on 18.12.1956<br />
Ironically, the most anachronistic of the vessels seen here from 1923, the wooden<br />
sailing barge LADY DAPHNE (117gt), is the only one to have survived to the<br />
present day, albeit as a promotional and charter vessel.<br />
16
She was built for David Bradley of Rochester, better known under his trading<br />
name Thomas Watson. Despite having a considerable fleet of sailing barges,<br />
Bradley decided that larger ones were needed to fulfil a contract to bring china<br />
clay to a paper mill at Aylesford on the Medway. LADY DAPHNE and her sister<br />
LADY JEAN (118/26) were ordered from Short Brothers Ltd., much better known<br />
for their aeronautical work, but who were experiencing hard times with contracts<br />
for military aircraft being cancelled after the First World War. The Managing<br />
Director, Edward Short, had little truck with the traditional method of building a<br />
barge by eye, and insisted that the pair were designed in the company’s drawing<br />
office. As it turned out, they had exceptionally good cargo capacities, and this<br />
was an asset in their later lives.<br />
By now fitted with an auxiliary, LADY DAPHNE was sold to R. and W. Paul Ltd.<br />
in 1937, and stayed with these Ipswich millers until 1973 when she became a<br />
promotional vessel. She was moored in St. Katharine’s Dock, London, which had<br />
been recently renovated as a marina and tourist destination, and one of her early<br />
functions was to host the very first Leslie Sargeant Quiz, organised by none other<br />
than the London Branch of the WSS.<br />
Since 1996 owners have been Michael and Elisabeth Mainelli who raise funds<br />
to maintain and restore the old lady through chartering work. Long may she<br />
continue sailing. There is much more about her original owners, and about LADY<br />
DAPHNE herself, in the WSS publication ‘Thomas Watson’ by K.S. Garrett, which<br />
is highly recommended.<br />
The steamer MAYWOOD (1,823gt) was classified somewhere between a coaster<br />
and a deep-sea trader, an intermediate-sized ship that was eminently suitable for<br />
the ‘Bay trades’ to Biscay ports or equally to the Baltic, both trades usually with<br />
coal out and either iron ore or timber home. Charles Rennoldson and Company<br />
of South Shields built her for Matthew Taylor, Methil as PARKHILL. In May 1930<br />
she was sold to J.T. Duncan of Cardiff, who registered her under the Frances<br />
Duncan Steam Ship Co. Ltd. as MAYWOOD.<br />
The 1950s saw steamers like her becoming increasingly uneconomic, whilst<br />
the coal trade that was their lifeblood had declined seriously. In 1958 MAYWOOD<br />
was laid up pending survey – as she probably was when photographed – but<br />
with industrial unrest and depressed freight rates, her owner decided she was<br />
uneconomical. On 16.11.1959 she was towed out of Penarth bound for Zelzate,<br />
Belgium to be broken up by Jacques Bakker en Zonen. J.T. Duncan themselves,<br />
who could trace their history back to 1891, decided enough was enough and quit<br />
ship owning, seemingly unwilling to invest in motor ships.<br />
17
MIA (266gt) was a belated result of the Shipping Controller’s belated decision to<br />
build coasters towards the end of the First World War. Orders for two singlehatch<br />
vessels went to Manchester Dry Docks Co. Ltd. at Ellesmere Port, which<br />
was primarily a repair yard, and had no prior experience of building sea-going<br />
vessels. The order was cancelled in November 1918, by when work had begun<br />
on the first vessel, WAR DEVERON, but was not far advanced on the second,<br />
intended to be WAR LOSSIE. The yard decided to proceed with both, and the<br />
first was completed in May 1920 as BEN SEYR (274/20). The second hull was<br />
launched in the same month, simply as LOSSIE, but completion proceeded very<br />
slowly, work being done only when the yard was not busy with repairs. It was not<br />
until May 1923 that she was completed as MIA, as seen here. This fine Preston<br />
shot shows her with her first owner, A.M. Ralli and Son, Liverpool, who kept her<br />
until 1932, and painted her funnel a pristine white with a black top. After a sojourn<br />
in Aberdeen, in 1937 she returned to the north west of England when bought by<br />
the Wilson Steamship Co. Ltd. of Whitehaven which renamed her. BEACONIA. In<br />
1954 she became a part of the fleet of Ramsey Steamship Co. Ltd. as BEN<br />
VARREY (her sister BEN SEYR had disappeared in the Irish Sea in 1938). One of<br />
the last single-hatch steam coasters in service, BEN VARREY arrived at Dublin for<br />
breaking up by the Hammond Lane Foundry Ltd. on 24.3.1957.<br />
The steam coaster SARNIA (711gt) is seen off St. Helier, Jersey, but is more<br />
closely associated with Guernsey, where she was owned by Onesimus Dorey.<br />
18
The Channel Islands’ greenhouses had a prodigious appetite for coal and coke,<br />
and Dorey’s ships were amongst those which satisfied it, loading usually on the<br />
East Coast.<br />
Like MAYWOOD, builders of SARNIA were Charles Rennoldson and Company<br />
of South Shields. This was a yard which has been neglected by chroniclers of<br />
shipbuilding, with the honourable exception of the WSS’s Yard List Team. Their<br />
listing records some fifty yard numbers allocated, mostly to coasters and<br />
Admiralty trawlers, until the yard’s demise in 1924.<br />
After a creditable 24 years’ service with Dorey, SARNIA passed to Hargreaves<br />
Coal and Shipping Ltd. of London who renamed her HARDALE, but kept her little<br />
more than one year. On 31.10.1958 she was delivered at Rotterdam, en route to<br />
being broken up at Nieuw Lekkerland by N.V. Scheeps. ‘de Koophandel’.<br />
First of a class of four, SARPEDON (11,321gt) resulted from a specific<br />
government request to Blue Funnel to improve passenger accommodation on Far<br />
East services. Holts did not expect this accommodation to pay, but reckoned it<br />
was worth providing in terms of the goodwill it generated from the merchants and<br />
planters they expected to carry. Fourth of the name, SARPEDON was built by<br />
Cammell, Laird and Co. Ltd. at Birkenhead; sisters PATROCLUS (11,314/23) and<br />
HECTOR (11,198/1924) by Scotts’ Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. at Greenock and<br />
ANTENOR (11,345/25) by Palmers’ Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. at Jarrow. All had<br />
steam turbines constructed by their builders.<br />
All except SARPEDON were requisitioned as armed merchant cruisers during<br />
the Second World War, and only SARPEDON and ANTENOR survived, the former<br />
being broken up at Newport, Monmouthshire in 1953 by John Cashmore Ltd.<br />
The Turkish steamer SEFEROGLU (4,357gt) had a convoluted history, largely<br />
with French or French colonial owners. She was laid down by William Gray and<br />
Co. Ltd., West Hartlepool as SAINT STANISLAS for a Le Havre company, but<br />
presumably they defaulted and she was completed for Strick Line as<br />
19
BARDISTAN. Her design seemed to appeal to French owners, as in 1929 a<br />
company in Bordeaux bought her and she became SAINT ROCH, but she was<br />
then quickly resold to Messageries Maritimes as RECHERCHE. Five years later<br />
she was in Italian hands as CAPO OLMO, but in June 1940 on Italy’s precipitous<br />
decision to join Germany in the war against France and Great Britain, she found<br />
herself in Marseilles where the French seized her. Within a month, however,<br />
France had been over-run and whilst at Gibraltar CAPO OLMO became British<br />
once again.<br />
In 1946 she was back in French hands as KOUFRA and in due course<br />
gravitated to Algerian ownership, first as MADALI and than LÉON MAZZELLA.<br />
Her final owner was Rami Seferoglu of Istanbul who in 1954 immodestly renamed<br />
her after himself. His was to be the ship’s longest period of stable ownership,<br />
ending after 22 years on 20.11.76 when breaking up began at Izmir.<br />
Thanks to a very useful book privately published by the original owners of the<br />
steamer WILLE (2,156gt), we know a lot about her origins. She was completed<br />
as HELMWOOD for William France, Fenwick and Co. Ltd., London and intended<br />
for the East Coast coal trade. Noting how much shipbuilding costs had fallen<br />
since 1920 France, Fenwick decided to renew their fleet and asked over thirty<br />
builders to tender for six ships. The specification left much to the builders, but<br />
did insist that the ballast tanks alongside the shaft tunnel in the after holds should<br />
be deepened to tunnel top level. This was an attempt to overcome a major<br />
disadvantage of the engines-amidships collier, whose shaft tunnel was very<br />
vulnerable to damage from the grabs used to discharge coal. Unfortunately,<br />
neither owners nor builders had worked out what effect the raised tank tops<br />
would have on stability, and the resultant ships were extremely tender when fully<br />
laden. As a result, all six had to be expensively modified, somewhat spoiling the<br />
bargain.<br />
HELMWOOD and one sister were built for £41,500 each by Vickers Ltd. at<br />
Barrow-in-Furness. Despite her problems – the raised tank tops also reduced<br />
her cubic capacity – she steamed on for France, Fenwick until February 1947<br />
when she was sold to the Hai Ying Steamship Co. Ltd., Shanghai who renamed<br />
her HAIPHONG. Whether she ever went out east is uncertain, as later in 1947<br />
she passed to Merivienti O/Y of Helsinki who gave her the name WILLE, as seen<br />
here (the funnel colours are a variant on those of her managers, Finnlines). A<br />
late change was a sale to other Finns as AURA in 1960, whilst a flurry of sales in<br />
1963 first saw her put under the Panama flag, then sold to Gothenburg breakers,<br />
and finally arrive at Hamburg on 22.1.1964 to be demolished by Walter Ritscher.<br />

BRANCH NOTES<br />
BRISTOL: In October David Walker gave a splendid account of some of the<br />
minicruises that he has enjoyed in recent years. We were particularly impressed<br />
by the facilities on board ferries in northern Europe, where the ferry companies<br />
serve their passengers extremely well. Many thanks, David. We look forward to<br />
Part 2. For November, Nigel Edgell presented our Naval evening – ‘Royal Navy<br />
Carrier Air Power’. There were several strands incorporated. Why aircraft carriers<br />
are important; the UK contribution to carrier technology (considerable); how<br />
carriers supplanted ‘dreadnoughts’ and their history from the Second World War<br />
onwards. We were well informed on the ups and downs of the last few decades<br />
which were not surprisingly guided by political decisions. Well done, Nigel, it<br />
was an interesting evening.<br />
EAST KENT: Selections of slides from the extensive collections of our late<br />
members Bill Reynolds and John Freestone were the subject of our November<br />
meeting. They showed what good ship photographers they were and provided a<br />
really good night’s entertainment. Thanks to Bernard Morton and Andrew<br />
Humphreys who selected the slides and did the time-consuming research into<br />
the ships depicted.<br />
FIRTH OF FORTH: When one sees that Maurice Napier is the speaker one can<br />
be ensured of a fascinating talk combining interesting ships, excellent<br />
photography, and amusing anecdotes. So it was with ‘Peru to Argentina’, our<br />
November talk. It combined not just travels along the coast of South America,<br />
but trips to Machu Picchu, Easter Island, inland to Lake Titicaca, 3,812 metres<br />
above sea level, and a flight to Puerto Williams south of Tierra del Fuego, the<br />
most southerly town in the world. Gaining entry to the three 19 th Century vessels<br />
that form the breakwater at Punta Arenas, his interior photographs enhanced<br />
those of the already wide range of shipping.<br />
GLOUCESTER: In November Branch Secretary Alan Drewett gave a<br />
presentation entitled “Rail and Shipping Entwined” which is also now available on<br />
his website Gloucestershire Transport History. This combined an introduction to<br />
some railway nomenclature with a look at joint maritime activities. These ranged<br />
from the horse drawn wooden Tanfield Railway to DP World’s London Gateway<br />
container port which first welcomed MOL CALEDON on 6th November 2013.<br />
Also featured were the Mediterranean Shipping Company’s OSCAR, the largest<br />
ship the World today, and a previous record holder QUEEN ELIZABETH along<br />
with fellow ill fated Cunarder ATLANTIC CONVEYOR.<br />
HARTLEPOOL: Teesside Branch held its AGM. This was followed by a WSS Slide<br />
Show, “Fishing Vessels” from Maurice J. Napier based around his business as a<br />
Naval Architectural Consultant involved with fishing vessels and stability. He has<br />
traveled widely around the globe in relation to his work and the diverse selection<br />
of photographs taken on these trips reflected the many locations he visited. The<br />
fishing vessels shown varied from small canoes to enormous factory ships, and<br />
everything in between, all supported by a superb script. Many thanks to Maurice<br />
for producing such a excellent presentation. We strongly recommend other<br />
branches to see this show.<br />
HAVEN PORTS: As always, November’s meeting is dominated by the Branch’s<br />
AGM. This followed the usual format with all officers of the branch returned for<br />
another year. Next year’s meetings programme has been issued and distributed<br />
to all. After the AGM David Pomroy and Derek Sands showed some slides from<br />
their collections.<br />
ISLE OF MAN: In November we had a change to the programme; our Secretary<br />
obtained 2 videos. The first was of London Docks when they were very busy, with<br />
ships leaving and arriving from all over the world. Notable was the very manual<br />
cargo handling. Part of the area is now occupied by London City airport. The<br />
second was a survey of cruise ships in British waters, including the splendid<br />
QUEEN ELIZABETH 2.<br />
ISLE OF WIGHT: Graham Lambie’s informative talk on ‘Steam Yachts’ traced the<br />
origins of these vessels from the novel hull designs of Thomas Assheton-Smith,<br />
first exemplified in the brigantine WATERWITCH, through the Russian royal yacht<br />
STANDART, to the VICTORIA & ALBERT and on to the BRITANNIA, now preserved<br />
in the Port of Leith. These elegant vessels were contrasted with the rather ugly<br />
style of the Kaiser’s steam yacht HOHENZOLLERN. Many historic strands and<br />
personalities were woven into Graham’s story, all of which made for an engrossing<br />
and educational presentation which was thoroughly enjoyed by all members.<br />
21
MANCHESTER: For our November meeting we had a programme of ‘shorts’.<br />
Members from Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield gave us an excellent<br />
afternoon of shipping. We saw ports from Norway, New Zealand, Hong Kong, the<br />
rivers: Mersey, Humber and Ouse as well as Yorkshire and Panama Canals.<br />
Joining the meeting was an invited guest, Mr. Keith Norman from Fred. Olsen<br />
Line. He went away very impressed with the branch and the World Ship Society.<br />
MELBOURNE: In November we had a ‘Show and tell’ evening on a fine evening<br />
but a holiday for the Melbourne Cup. The Cup attracts a large number of cruise<br />
ships to the port. 6 members provided items including a model of CANBERRA<br />
44,807/61, Murray River vessels, Historical books, Fog horns, Yokohama Maritime<br />
Park and an album of pictures taken 35 years ago in England. The album<br />
included interiors of the WILLEM RUYS. This elicited extra detail of how the<br />
Dutch delayed the ship’s completion to prevent her falling into German hands in<br />
the Second World War. We thank those who contributed to a varied and<br />
interesting programme.<br />
MERSEYSIDE: We were honoured to welcome to our branch for our November<br />
meeting Roy Cressey from the Yorkshire Ship Enthusiasts Society who showed us<br />
fabulous images of previous competition winners taken by the members over<br />
several years. The standard of photography was extremely high and all Roy’s<br />
members should be congratulated on their remarkable achievements. We were<br />
shown all manner of vessels, large and small, seen not only in the U.K. but in<br />
many other countries as well. Thank you Roy for travelling from Leeds to see us<br />
and hopefully it won’t be too long before we see you again.<br />
MID ESSEX: In November David Berg presented a show titled “And Then They<br />
Were Gone”. David is always a front runner at our photographic competitions so<br />
we were expecting, and got, some superb photography. The show covered the<br />
ships that he had photographed over the years that were now no longer sailing.<br />
Ships taken at Terneuzen, one of David’s favourite locations, started the show.<br />
Other venues included Thames side such as Tilbury and the Tate & Lyle refinery.<br />
We thank David for a first-rate evening of photographs and an excellent<br />
accompanying commentary and look forward to a further show. For a full report<br />
and “what’s on” see our website www.midessexships.org.uk/home.<br />
NORTHERN IRELAND: November meeting was an excellent well attended<br />
presentation ‘Diving the Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon’ by Vic Foster, a leading<br />
Northern Ireland diving instructor. Vic visited Truk Lagoon in the Phillipine Sea in<br />
1997 and 2000 diving on Japanese war wrecks sunk by US carrier task force 58<br />
in February 1944 comprising 5 fleet carriers, 4 light carriers plus supporting<br />
vessels. Members enjoyed excellent video footage of the merchant ships SAN<br />
FRANCISCO MARU and AOIKE MARU which sank carrying munitions and other<br />
military equipment, submarine I169, destroyers FUMITSUKI and OITE.<br />
SOUTHAMPTON: Some 34 members attended the November AGM, when the<br />
Officers and committee were re-elected en-bloc. After the formal business, Bill<br />
Lawes presented a talk by our recently deceased founder, Bert Moody, with a<br />
commentary recorded a few months before his death, showing Bert’s favourite<br />
time, Southampton and its liners in the 1930s. An excellent reminder, for posterity,<br />
of past times.<br />
SOUTHEND: In November Krispen Atkinson gave another superb presentation<br />
‘Krispen’s travels – 30 days in September 2016’. The first phase was from Dover<br />
to Zeebrugge, Terneuzen, Rotterdam and back vis Sluiskill. Plenty and varied<br />
photos were taken. The next event was a cruise on AIDAPRIMA starting at<br />
Rotterdam then to Zeebrugge, Le Havre and Southampton and back to<br />
Rotterdam. Then, to Singapore via Dubai to commence a combined work and<br />
holiday spell. Ships in abundance and in all sorts and sizes and to say it was<br />
superb was an understatement. To sum it up, 8 Countries, 17,500 miles, 3,356<br />
ships logged, 1,657 of these seen for the first time. Many thanks Krispen.<br />
SOUTH COAST: Krispen Atkinson took members on a fascinating 17,500 mile<br />
journey when he presented his “30 days of September 2016.” The month started<br />
with a four day visit based in and around Terneuzen followed by a 5-day cruise<br />
on AIDAPRIMA from Hamburg to Rotterdam via Southampton and Le Havre<br />
before a couple of ship-spotting weeks in Singapore. During his travels he<br />
logged 3,356 ships, 3,073 of them being different. Backed up by his superb<br />
photography, a lively and informative commentary, all complemented by an<br />
imaginative use of Powerpoint, Krispen must be congratulated on this excellent<br />
production.<br />
22
THAMES VALLEY: In August Philip Simons gave a talk on “WSS AGM 2017”<br />
which covered vessels he had seen over that weekend, including a number of<br />
small craft which had fascinating histories. Chris Perkins gave a talk in<br />
September on some of the many ships that he had seen in the 1970s and<br />
80s, including a few on which he has sailed while in the Merchant Navy. In<br />
October, but Krispen Atkinson gave a talk entitled “The 30 days of September<br />
2016”. Among other subjects this covered visits to Singapore and a cruise which<br />
gave a wide view of the current shipping scene. November’s talk on “British<br />
India” by Trevor Cox was the first of three such programmes. The almost (recent)<br />
record audience was appreciative of the enormous amount of research which<br />
must have gone into this project and we look forward to seeing parts 2 and 3.<br />
TYNESIDE: Our November meeting saw Paul Hood taking a cruise on P & O’s<br />
ADONIA from Southampton and good weather blessed his ship photography on<br />
Southampton Water. As a smaller ship, the route passed along the Gosport<br />
shoreline allowing a view of the future HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH within<br />
Portsmouth Dockyard. First port of call was Portimao and then on to Barcelona.<br />
We saw many ships which Paul elaborated on, one was a floating dock used to<br />
construct caissons for bridges or breakwaters able to sink progressively as the<br />
weight of the caisson rose. We also had a tour of the Barcelona Maritime<br />
Museum contained in fine arched buildings originally used to build galleys.<br />
A NEW GLEN SANNOX<br />
GLEN SANNOX (y.n. 801) was launched on 21st November by Nicola Sturgeon,<br />
Scotland’s First Minister, at the yard of Ferguson Marine Engineering Ltd. at Port<br />
Glasgow.<br />
The twin Wartsila 34DF dual fuelled diesel powered ferry has dimensions of<br />
102.4 m x 17 m x 3.4 m draft and will be able to carry 1,000 passengers, 127<br />
cars or 16 HGVs on the Ardrossan – Brodick service for her owners – Caledonian<br />
Macbrayne.<br />
GLEN SANNOX approaching her builder’s fitting out quay.<br />

FRED. OLSEN ORDERS TRIMARAN FERRY DUO FROM AUSTAL<br />
Fred. Olsen S.A. has placed an order for two vehicle passenger trimaran ferries<br />
at Australian-based ship building company Austal Limited. Under the deal,<br />
valued at EUR 126 million (USD 147.7 million), Austal will construct the 117-metre<br />
high-speed ferries over a period of 29 and 36 months, respectively.<br />
The two new trimarans will each be capable of transporting over 1,100<br />
passengers and up to 276 cars at speeds of up to 38 knots, with both<br />
commencing construction in 2018. Designed by Austal Australia, the aluminium<br />
trimarans will be the second and third trimarans to be delivered to Fred. Olsen<br />
S.A., however, the exact build location for the vessels is currently unknown.<br />
Fred. Olsen S.A. already operates the world’s first and largest trimaran vehicle<br />
passenger ferry, the BENCHIJIGUA EXPRESS, designed and built by Austal in<br />
2005.<br />

Thanks to John Williams, Peter Wynne, Bill Harvey with a little effort from myself.<br />
The tug in Puzzle Corner No. 40 photographed at Volos by Jim McFaul has<br />
caused much debate as to whether she is ex-TALBOT or ex-GOWER of<br />
Alexandra Towing Co. Ltd. The consensus of opinion is that she is the former<br />
GOWER. Help has come from John Williams, Bill Harvey, Roland Whaite, Jim<br />
McFaul, Clyde Maritime Forum and myself.<br />

INDIA LAUNCHES ITS FIRST RO-RO FERRY PROJECT<br />
India inaugurated its first Ro-Ro ferry project, set to decrease travel time between<br />
Gujarat’s Ghogha and Dahej ports, on 22nd October. The Gujarat Maritime Board<br />
(GMB) project is expected to cut the travel time between the ports from 7 hours<br />
to 2.5 hours, according to Essar Projects, the project’s principal engineering,<br />
procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor.<br />
The Ro-Ro ferry service will be able to carry about 500 passengers and 100-<br />
150 vehicles on each 17 nautical mile trip across the Gulf of Khambhat. Once<br />
services commence, the ferry is expected to do four round trips every day. Essar<br />
Projects’ EPC contract includes the construction of the Ro-Ro terminals and<br />
supporting onshore infrastructure at Dahej and Ghogha. The company designed<br />
and constructed the Ro-Ro terminals at both ports, as well as the approach<br />
bunds, trestles, pontoons and link spans.<br />

FROM THE WSS: NEW AND COMPLETELY UPDATED<br />
Everard of Greenhithe: Second Edition<br />
K.S. Garrett<br />
F.T. Everard and Sons Ltd. was one of the biggest names in British and<br />
European coastal shipping, with a fleet of over 450 owned, managed<br />
and chartered craft, including sailing, steam and motor ships plus tugs<br />
and harbour craft.<br />
This new edition of Everard’s history and fleet list takes the story to its<br />
conclusion with the company’s sale to Fishers of Barrow in 2006.<br />
Expanded and completely brought up to date, the book includes all ships<br />
bought since the first edition was published in 1991. Ship’s histories have<br />
been updated to 2017, and wherever possible new and improved<br />
photographs have been included, many of them in colour. Significant<br />
additions are the sections of commercially managed and time-chartered<br />
ships, all of which are illustrated.<br />
Written by a former Marine Superintendent of the company, the<br />
history gives a unique insight into the running of a diverse and<br />
successful coasting fleet. Its founder was a sailing barge builder turned<br />
owner, and through three further generations of family control it grew to<br />
have an unrivalled fleet of steam and motor-driven dry cargo craft and<br />
tankers, plus a significant tug fleet. From a base at Greenhithe on the<br />
Thames, which had its own repair facilities, Everard ships traded round<br />
Europe and sometimes beyond.<br />
‘Everard of Greenhithe’ has 288 A4 pages dealing with 479 vessels,<br />
the majority illustrated in colour or black-and-white. There are four<br />
pages of flag and funnel drawings, endpapers with general<br />
arrangement drawings of specimen ships, and a comprehensive index.<br />
This new edition does full justice to the story of one of the United<br />
Kingdom’s best-known and much-missed coaster fleets.<br />
‘Everard of Greenhithe’ is available to WSS members at £30 plus £3<br />
p&p (UK), £13 (Europe and RoW surface), or £22 (RoW air mail).<br />

NEW BOOK FROM THE WSS<br />
NEW BOOK FROM THE WSS<br />
A MARITIME REVIEW OF 2016 by Krispen Atkinson, David<br />
Walker & Andrew McAlpine, A4 softback, 76 pages, 144 colour<br />
&2B &Wphotos<br />
This book provides a snapshot of the events that occurred in the shipping<br />
industry during 2016 including ownership collapses, notable deliveries,<br />
demolitions and losses. One of the biggest stories of that year was the collapse<br />
of South Korean shipping giant Hanjin, which led to hundreds of ships lying idle<br />
whilst finance was sorted to allow the ships to dock and discharge their cargoes.<br />
In Europe a number of short-sea operators disappeared. With the slump in the<br />
oil industry, offshore exploration was at a low while the fleet was larger than<br />
ever. Hundreds of offshore support vessels were placed in lay-up worldwide and<br />
others were scrapped. A number of rigs also made their way to the demolition<br />
yards, while those under construction have been delayed deliberately. The year<br />
saw the oldest active aircraft carrier retired by the Indian Navy, while the USN<br />
inducted a new class of destroyer and expended some retired frigates as<br />
targets. The story of this turbulent year is told by a selection of high quality<br />
photographs supported by informative deep captions.<br />
