6 FEBRUARY J A N M A R Westella by Jenny Morgan RSMA. It is summer in Arctic waters during the 1960s; nevertheless there are still miles of drift ice to navigate for these two trawlers fishing off the southern coasts of the Spitsbergen Islands. These are though, nutrient-rich waters and worth the long voyage to seek good hauls of white fish. The main diesel trawler Westella, was built for Hull owners in She was 778 tons and foot long. Unusually, the trawlers under the same owner had characteristic yellowpainted hulls, unlike the other trawler fleets of Hull and Grimsby, the ships usually black-hulled with traditional wood-effect painted deckhouses and bridge structures.

8 MARCH F E B A P R HMS Good Hope by Paul Wright RSMA. The flagship of Admiral Sir Christopher Craddock, who in November 1914, was tasked with a small squadron of cruisers to track down the much larger Pacific fleet of Admiral Maximillian Graf von Spee. Eventually they bought von Spee to battle at Coronel off the coast of Chile where, in an unequal contest, Admiral Craddock and the entire crews of his principal ships Good Hope and mouth were lost with their ships. Following this defeat, the battlecruisers Invincible and Inflexible were dispatched to the Falkland Islands and eventually destroyed all of von Spee s ships as they sailed into the South Atlantic. 17th: Bank Holiday (N.

12 MAY A P R J U N The America s Cup 1876 by Roy Cross RSMA GAVA. The 1876 races for the America s Cup featured the last appearance of the two-masted schooners. Henceforward the races would be between single-masted sloops. The challenge came from Canada in the form of the Countess of Dufferin, entered by the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto, and she was much jeered at she arrived in New York as having fresh water written all over her. Designer Capt. Alexander Cuthbert modelled her on American practice, and her final suit of sails were recut in New York.

16 JULY J U N AU G River Tees departure by John Lines RSMA, RBSA. It s that moment for all dedicated ship lovers, when you are aware of something moving close by. And then there she is, moving majestically down the water, the steady thump of her engine perfectly matching the moment. The busy tugs all add to the scene, as she heads down the river to deeper water and who knows where? Young and old stand in awe as she glides elegantly by, with a name that nobody seems to know! All adding to the magic of the moment. Soon silhouetted on the horizon and then out of sight, but memories are made like this for ship lovers worldwide. 12th: Bank Holiday (N. Ire)

20 SEPTEMBER AU G O C T QE2 leaving New York by John Stewart. Despite the reduction in sea-travel Cunard took an enormous gamble in the mid 1960s and ordered a refined luxury-liner that could also double as a cruise ship.

The QE2, served as the flagship of the fleet until 2004 when Queen Mary 2 joined the fleet.

22 OCTOBER S E P N OV A concentration of force by Geoff Hunt PPRSMA. Nine years after the Battle of Trafalgar, a naval arms race was in full swing to create larger, more heavily-armed warships. On the other side of the Atlantic the Royal Navy was trying to contain American ambitions with super-heavy frigates, while the problem in the Mediterranean was the French Toulon fleet. The British Mediterranean fleet blockaded the Toulon fleet in its port with a strength that included nine threedeckers and six twodeckers. The painting depicts the scene just before sunset on 9th February 1814, when the British fleet left a winter anchorage at Arenys de Mar, to resume the blockade.
