| THOMAS GOLDSWORTHY DUTTON (BRITISH, 1819-1891) The clipper 'Forfarshire' Watercolour laid on card Signed 'T.G. Dutton 1872' (lower left) 14½ x 28½in. (37 x 72.5cm.) £400-£600 Built in 1867 by J. Morison of Sunderland for his own account, Forfarshire was a 211ft clipper of 1238 tons with a 37ft beam. Completed in March 1867 at a cost of £17,332 she was initially used for the London-India run. Sold to the Shaw, Savill in 1873 (Shaw, Savill & Albion Line when they merged in 1883) and used thereafter as an emigrant ship to Australia and New Zealand, her fastest recorded passage was 85 days between London and Dunedin at a time when the average was 100 days. Throughout her life she had a small but permanent leak which was never found and thus she required regular pumping. In 1894 she was severely storm-damaged when outward bound for Wellington and this seems to have prompted her sale to the Argentine on her return. Thereafter she passed 'out of commercial service' and was almost certainly broken up shortly after. |

(38 x 69cm.) £400-£600 Built for Major Keswick in 1920 by Yarrow from plans intended for a destroyer, Cutty Sark registered 883 gross tons, was powered by two of her builder's own turbines and could develop 5000bhp giving a healthy 24 knots - enough to attract the attentions of the Duke of Westminster to whom she was sold in 1927. She became well-known in yachting circles and even sported a mention in No'l Cowards Private Lives when alluded to steaming along the Riviera in view of the cast. In World War II she served as a submarine tender and was fitted with a gun platform in front of her bridge. After the War she passed into commercial service and, as the Joseph Hertz smuggled immigrants into Palestine in 1947-8, being scrapped shortly thereafter. |

| EUROPEAN SCHOOL, 18TH-19TH CENTURY The Maltese Knights Hospitaller armed carrick 'Santa Anna' shortly after her launch with knights and dignitaries in attendance, circa 1522 Oil on canvas 48 x 33½in. (122 x 85cm.) £2,000-£4,000 Although precise technical detail for this ship is scant, by all accounts she was a remarkable ship in many ways and must have represented a considerable investment on the part of the ancient order of Knights Hospitaller who ordered her construction in Nice. When launched in 1522 she had six decks (two of which were armoured), was sheathed in lead below the waterline, equipped with a forge, bakery and 'garden' which was suspended from her stern. She could carry five hundred marines in addition to her crew and all were housed in roomy messes. During her brief career she altered the balance of power in the Mediterranean and in 1531 single-handedly defeated a Turkish squadron of twenty-five ships. A year later, under the command of Andrea Doria, she seized Koroni and Patras, the twin Turkish forts guarding the entrance to the Gulf of Corinth and went on to capture or destroy several dozen Barbary Corsair pirate ships. She was even briefly deployed as a wheat carrier where her 900 ton carrying capacity proved very useful. Perhaps, however, the overheads of maintaining such a large vessel were too much and in 1540, just eighteen years after launch, she was condemned and broken up. The large 'clock tower' seen by the fo'c's'le has remained something of an enigma with opinion divided over whether it was an early attempt at longitude (a conventional pendulum being useless at sea), a depth sounder or perhaps a mechanical log. |

| SAMUEL DRUMMOND (BRITISH, 1765-1844) Portrait of Captain William Parker, R.N., 1801 commemorating his promotion at the age of 20 Oil on canvas 29¼ x 24½in. (74.5 x 63cm.) £5,000-£7,000 Admiral of the Fleet Sir William Parker, Baronet, GCB (1781-1866) was a nephew of Earl St. Vincent and a great favourite of Nelson's who wrote to the Earl Your nephew has very much pleased me, as indeed he always does.. I admire his spirit and resolution to attack.. under all the disadvantages of situation: such conduct will some happy day meet its reward.These words were indeed to prove prophetic and Parker enjoyed rapid promotion. In 1803 he was given command of the Amazon (38) and although part of Nelson's chase of Villeneuve, he was not present at Trafalgar as he was detached for service in the West Indies with Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron, arriving December 1805. On 14th March Amazon took a notable part in the capture of Marengo (74) and Belle Poule (40), taking the latter's surrender. Thereafter he was awarded many civil honours in addition to his naval promotion and became a Knight of the Bath in 1834 with the GCB ten years later. He became Admiral of the Fleet in April 1863 and died of bronchitis in November 1866. |
