A BELL FROM THE IMPERIAL GERMAN SUBMARINE U.B.44 , 1916 cast in brass with impressed lettering inscribed U.B. 44 , the inside inscribed in raised lettering 15 C , complete with clapper, now mounted on wood stand, the bell -- 6 x 6in. (15 x 15cm.); stand 15in. (38cm.) highFootnote: One of a class of six, UB-44 was built by AG Wesser, Bremen, shipped in sections to Pola and assembled (with her sisters) by Wesser engineers, being launched in April 1916. She measured 121 feet with a 14ft 4in. beam, and her Daimler diesels provided a range of 6,840 miles at nearly 9 knots on the surface and 4 knots submerged with a range of 45 miles on batteries. She was armed with two 19.7in. bow torpedo tubes and could carry four torpedoes. Additionally, she was also armed with a single 3.5in. deck gun. She was commissioned on 11 May 1916 and ordered to the Austro-Hungarian base at Cattaro, near the Mediterranean. On 30th June she torpedoed and sank the S.S. Moeris on passage between Glasgow and Alexandria with the loss of three men and her only 'kill'; Her fate is unknown, but anecdotal evidence suggests she may have been sunk with a lance bomb off Paxoi in early August. How her bell survived is unclear, however her unusual construction and early demise suggests that it had yet to be fitted.Condition report: Polished, black filling to lettering now missing.

(33 x 32cm.); together with iron bracket for wall suspensionFootnote: The first powered flight from a ship was achieved by the American Eugene Ely (1886-1911) on 14 th November, 1910. It wasn’t long before the Royal Navy saw the benefit of using planes at sea and began their own experiments. These culminated in success when Lt Charles Samson (1883-1931) climbed into the cockpit of a Gnome-engined Short Improved S.27 pusher seaplane and, on 10th January 1912, took off from H.M.S. Africa (moored in the Medway, Kent) from a runway mounted over her 12in. gun barrels. The aircraft moved quickly down the runway, dipped slightly after leaving it, but then pulled up and climbed easily. Samson circled Africa several times to the cheers of the crew and, after a few minutes, landed safely at an airfield ashore.

NICHOLAS POCOCK (BRITISH, 1740-1821) The engagement between H.M.S. 'Northumberland' and a French squadron Watercolour on wove paper 18¼ x 28¼in. (46.5 x 72cm.) (2, a pair)Footnote: Early in 1812, Rear-Admiral Sir Harry Neale, commanding the Channel Fleet, found himself facing the problem of a small but powerful French squadron, under Commodore Martin le Foretier and consisting of two 40-gun frigates, Arienne and Andromaque , in company with the 16-gun brig Mamelouck , loose on the open sea having broken the blockade and come out of Nantes under orders to disrupt British and other shipping in the Western Approaches.. The 74-gun HMS Northumberland (Captain Hotham) was ordered to cruise off Lorient and await the three French vessels which were expected there. On 22nd May, the enemy vessels were spotted off the Ile de Groix and Hotham ordered the 12-gun brig Growler , which was fortunately close by, to chase them while he sailed around the island to cut off their approach to Lorient. Realising that his original direct approach had been cut off, the French Commodore decided to run between Northumberland and the rocky shore, under the protection of the friendly shore batteries, and thereby attempt to reach his destination. Considering it unsafe to stand his own ship that close to the shore given her size, Hotham followed a parallel course to the French and prepared to engage them with broadside fire from a range of about 400 yards. Hotham and his Sailing Master, Hugh Stewart, had already hatched a daring plan in which they would sail as close as they dared to the Graul Rock, knowing that the French would have to sail between it and their ship, and then destroy them with massive broadsides. Unfortunately there was insufficient depth of water to allow them to pass between the rock and the mainland and any manoeuvring was made more difficult by the fact that the clouds of powder smoke were obscuring the rock from sight. Receiving fire from shore batteries and from the powerful French frigates, Northumberland passed within 200 feet of the rock and the French, as expected, tried to pass inside, between the rock and the mainland. At 15.45, both frigates ran aground and at 15.50, the brig followed. With her sails and rigging damaged, Northumberland was forced to retire out of range to effect repairs to her sails and rigging, leaving the three French vessels stranded by the falling tide. At 16.22, Northumberland returned to the scene to find the three French vessels now hard aground and heeling over. At 16.48, the Mamelouck cut away her mainmast in an attempt to lighten ship and try to escape. At 17.00, Growler arrived on the scene and, being much smaller, closed the range and opened fire with her 18-pdr. carronades. At 17.23, the Arienne's mainmast was shot away by Growler's fire and at 17.28 Northumberland anchored in six and a half fathoms of water and opened fire on the three French vessels with her starboard broadside. Hotham had chosen his position well: his ship was out of range of all but one of the shore batteries and the enemy vessels were helpless. At 17.55, the Andromaque caught fire and five minutes later, her fore-topmast fell and her crew were seen to abandon ship in the boats. By now the flames were spreading fast and at 18.45, the Andromaque's main and mizzen masts fell. At 18.49, the tide was fully out, the Andromaque was completely engulfed in flames and the other ship's bottoms were so badly damaged that they would fill with water when the tide came in. Captain Hotham decided that the time had come to leave the scene, so Northumberland got under way and moved out of range of the one shore battery which could fire on her. All the while, Northumberland had been coming under fire from this shore battery and it had done some damage and caused casualties aboard her. Four of her seamen and one of her Royal Marines had been killed and Lieutenant William Fletcher, three Petty Officers, 19 seamen and five Royal Marines had been wounded. When Northumberland ceased fire, Growler closed the range again and opened fire in order to prevent the French crews from returning to their vessels. At 20.00, the Andromaque blew up and was totally destroyed. At 22.00, the Arienne was seen to be on fire and by 23.30 was engulfed in flames. Mamelouck by this time was lying on her side and was also on fire. At 02.30 the following day, Arienne blew up and later that day, Mamelouck was also destroyed by an explosion. The first painting depicts H.M.S. Northumberland at the beginning of the engagement, intercepting the French frigates Arienne and Andromaque and the brig Mamelouck as they tried to cut between the Northumberland and the rocky shore with Northumberland opening up broadsides against the French vessels. The second painting shows the engagement at about 16.30. The three French vessels have run aground on Graul Rock. Arienne's mainmast has been shot away (far left), and the brig Mamelouck (center) is lying on her side. Northumberland has returned from making repairs and is shown at anchor whilst firing her starboard broadsides.Condition report: Early action: Repaired 5in. tear top left; Edges slightly nibbled; time staining; Late action: Creasing top left.
ATTRIBUTED TO NICHOLAS POCOCK (BRITISH, 1740-1821) 'San Fiorenzo' & La ' Piémontaise' off Ceylon, 1804 Watercolour 6¾ x 10¼in. (17.5 x 26cm.) Provenance: With Sotheby'sFootnote: On 6 March 1808, H.M.S. San Fiorenzo (38-gun; Capt. George Hardinge) came across three East Indiamen being followed by the 40-gun French frigate Piémontaise . He turned to confront the Frenchman, who attempted to escape. St Fiorenzo chased the Piémontaise for the next several days, with intermittent fighting as the French turned to engage their pursuer, before sailing away again. They were finally brought to a decisive battle on 8 March, where after an hour and twenty minutes of fierce fighting, they surrendered. French losses amounted to 48 dead and 112 wounded, while the British lost 13 dead and 25 wounded. Captain Hardinge was among the dead, killed by grapeshot shortly before the Piémontaise surrendered. He was buried at Colombo with full military honours, and monuments to his memory were erected in Bombay and in St Paul's Cathedral.Condition report: Good overall condition
A 12IN. GUN TAMPION FROM H.M.A.S. AUSTRALIA , CIRCA 1913 the 15in. tampion cast in brass with ship's motto ENDEAVOUR , now mounted on wooden display board -- 16½in. (42cm.) overallFootnote: H.M.A.S. Australia was one of three ‘Indefatigable’ class battlecruisers and the only capital ship to serve in the Royal Australian Navy. Ordered in 1909, she was launched in 1911, and commissioned as flagship of the fledgling Royal Australian Navy (R.A.N.) in 1913. On the outbreak of War, she was ordered to neutralise the German East Asia Squadron (forcing its withdrawal from the Pacific) but several distractions meant the job was done without her support. Assigned to the Grand Fleet thereafter, she was involved in early naval aviation experiments, and eleven of her crew participated in the Zeebrugge Raid of April 1918. On her return to Australia in 1919, several sailors mutinied after being denied an extra day's leave. Placed in reserve, she was broken up in 1924 to comply with the Treaty of Washington.
