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 1960. She was 778 tons and 189.75 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.

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.

Luggers from Porthleven are inbound after a night fishing and, like seamen everywhere, doubtless casting a critical eye over the schooner. Happily the Kathleen & May survives today having been extensively restored between 2000 and 2010. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

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. Upper Clyde Shipbuilders built the ship, with her maiden voyage taking place on 2nd May 1968. Carrying on in the tradition of her forebears, QE2 made at least one crossing of the North Atlantic each year and again followed in their footsteps when she transported 3,000 troops to the Falkland Islands. The QE2, served as the flagship of the fleet until 2004 when Queen Mary 2 joined the fleet.

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.

Originally launched as the Empress of Japan in December 1929, Empress of Scotland had been built for the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company by Fairfield and entered service as Empress of Japan in June 1930. Her name was changed in response to Japan s invasion of many parts of the Far East in 1941-42. Employed on transport duties for much of the war, she was to be used to shuttle a large number of American troops to Europe. Built as a dual cruise and ocean liner she spent the next seven years on mixed services and was eventually sold for scrap in 1966. 30th: Bank Holiday (Sco)

The painting shows the lifeboat Ann Ferguson nearing the Finnish barque Flora of Aland on the morning of 3rd November 1888. The barque had run ashore on Sizewell Bank during the night and was now in danger of breaking up, but the lifeboat struggled through very heavy seas and succeeded in taking off the Flora s crew of thirteen men and one boy in only five minutes. Despite damage to the lifeboat, the breaking of two oars and having one man thrown overboard (who was soon recovered) rescuers and rescued came safely to shore. 25th: Bank Holiday (UK) 26th: Bank Holiday (UK)
