A 1:48 SCALE ARCHITECTS MODEL FOR THE OPIUM CLIPPER SYLPH, DESIGNED BY SIR ROBERT SEPPINGS FOR RUSTOMJEE COWASJEE, 1831 the 24in. hull carved from the solid with ebonised top sides pierced for twenty guns with red-lined ports, gilt female bust figurehead, head rails with boomkins, catheads, carved stern and quarter lights with green windows, plain decks with cutaway masts and bowsprit, mounted on three simulated brick plinths with side wire supports on shaped ebonised display base, overall measurements -- 10 x 30in. (25.5 x 76cm.)The lure of opium to the Chinese went back centuries, but once the merchants and entrepreneurs of British India became involved in the supply of opium to meet China’s insatiable demand, the trade rapidly evolved into one of the most lucrative on earth.With the trade in Indian opium already booming by 1830, the following year saw the launching of Sylph, one of the most celebrated of all the ships plying the run to China. Built at Howrah in West Bengal for Rustomjee Cowasjee, a wealthy Parsee shipowner who made a fortune from opium, he was so determined to own a record-breaker that he sent to London and persuaded none other than Sir Robert Seppings, the illustrious Surveyor of the Navy, to design it for him. Measured at 304 tons, much the same as most other vessels in the trade, she was 100½ feet long with a 26-foot beam and had a complement of 70 men. Originally barque-rigged but later altered to a full ship rig, whichever rig she carried she proved extremely fast and, in 1833, set the record from Calcutta to Singapore in 9 days 20 hours which stood for many years.During her career, she often found herself racing against other notable opium clippers, most frequently with Red Rover but also with the Antonio Pereira, the latter match ending in tragedy when her adversary was lost without trace between Singapore and Macao in July 1838. In 1839, her reputation for speed even saw her in line for an Indian government mail contract but, at the last moment, her owner withdrew her as the financial reward was pitiful when compared to the profits from opium. When the so-called ‘Opium War’ with China began in 1840, Sylph and the other vessels in the opium fleet simply mounted more guns and carried on regardless; indeed, the Chinese were so desperate for opium that the authorities ‘turned a blind eye’ to the trade even though England and China were formally at war.Stranded on a reef and very nearly wrecked off Singapore in 1835, her passengers, crew and most of her valuable cargo of 1,115 chests of opium were saved by the HEIC’s 18-gun sloop Clive, and Sylph herself was finally floated off and made it back to Singapore for repairs. Another narrow escape occurred in May 1840 when Sylph, in company with her sister the Cowasjee Family, was attacked by a large fleet of armed Chinchew junks north of Amoy and both only got away thanks to their superior speed. After another race with the fast little Poppy in 1841, an admiring newspaper correspondent wrote that, despite being a decade old, “The good old Sylph….still wears the belt for a clean pair of heels. Far prettier vessels have been built, but none can show her stern to the Sylph in a race….”.Still turning in fast passages and record profits all through the 1840s, including the war years, Sylph left Hong Kong for Singapore on 11th July 1849, but was never seen again despite an extensive search. With no bad weather reported, it was assumed that she had fallen victim to pirates off the island of Hainan, which was subsequently confirmed by the master of a Chinese junk.Port cathead missing; good overall original condition with wear commensurate with age - dust, one or two paint chips, poop deck with hairline crack foward of mizzen mast.

(1919-1991) and by descent.Jim Brinton was a naval architect and a member of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors attached to the Admiralty. The Corps members interchanged their duties between designing ships and practical work in R.N. Dockyards around the globe. In 1954 Brinton was stationed in Malta at the dockyard in Valletta and so was closely involved when Britannia unexpectedly called in on her maiden voyage after suffering a minor collision. Aboard were Prince Charles and Princess Anne, who were to be reunited with their parents in Tobruk at the end of the Royal couple's Commonwealth Tour. With the eyes of the world on the Royal couple and their new yacht, it had to look perfect and it was Brinton's job to make her so, aided by this set of plans.

ADMIRAL JOHN BYNG'S PERSONAL MEDITERRANEAN JOURNAL, MARCH-OCTOBER 1748comprising 120 pages (60 sheets) of folded foolscap laid paper bearing a Govt watermark, kept between 1st March and 13th October 1748 in a small neat hand, ruled margins with crew names where mentioned and occasional appended marginalia notes, stitched within contemporary card wrapper inscribed Journal of Jna Byng 1747-48 with trimmed portrait engraving applied to front inscribed in a later hand Portrait of Hawke not ByngI (old staining and wear) -- 7¾ x 6in. (20 x 15cm.); together with a transcript of The TRIAL of the Honourable Admiral JOHN BYNG at a Court Martial, Dublin 1757, full calf binding; a contemporary unbound copy of Byng's defense viz: A LETTER to a Member of Parliament... Relative to the CASE of ADMIRAL BYNG, London 1756; a framed 6½ x 4in. engraved frontispiece portrait of Byng with a companion example of Admiral Hervey; Pope, D: At 12 Mr Byng was Shot, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1962; Tunstall, B: Admiral Byng, Philip Allan & Co. Ltd, 1928; and a typed transcript of the journal(8)Bloomsbury Auctions, 6th December, 2007, lot 266 where entered as 'The Property of a Lady'.This interesting journal, written during the final negotiations of the failed Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle and some six years before his fate was infamously sealed by his Actions off Minorca, is nearly complete save a few spare pages at the back. It includes daily weather reports, the conduct of the War, orders given and received, the political situation in the Mediterranean etc., and would have been used as the basis for his official log book. It includes a long first-hand account of a Franco-Spanish attack on Savona which he helped repulse: [15 March] The information secured from deserters, were that the enemy were about 5 or 6000 men under the command of a Major General, Nephew to the Duke de Richelieu, that their intentions were to first burn ye Galleys and Vessels and there in ye Mole, to take and plunder the town, make themselves masters of the artillery which they knew had arrived in Savona but ye day before... Two months later Byng records the Treaty of Aix-La-Chapelle. Some historians portray Byng as a Commander who lacked the experience of War to assert himself when under pressure and which led to his Court Martial and Execution in 1758, however, this journal challenges that perception and Byng appears to command logically and forcibly when given the right men and equipment to do so.His infamous fate was to be Court Marshalled and shot - by his own signal - kneeling upon the quarterdeck of his flagship Monarch, an event that still provokes discussion and contempt for an Administration which made him a scapegoat for their own political ends. Famously Voltaire included the incident in his best-selling satirical novel Candide where in chapter 23 he wrote about Britain's loss of Minorca:‘And why kill this Admiral?’‘Because he didn’t kill enough people,’ Candide was told. ‘He gave battle to a French Admiral, and it has been found that he wasn’t close enough.’‘But,’ said Candide, ‘the French Admiral was just as far away from the English Admiral as he was from him!’‘Unquestionably,’ came the reply. ‘But in this country, it is considered a good thing to kill an Admiral from time to time, pour encourager les autres!'

JOHN LYNN (BRITISH, 1826-1869)Lord Belfast's Yacht 'Emily' in the MediterraneanOil on canvas26½ x 38½in. (67.5 x 97.5cm.)The Earl of Belfast, later 3rd Marquess of Donegal, was one of the most colourful albeit controversial personalities in the first decade of British competitive yacht racing. After some notable successes with his first three yachts – all cutters – he famously turned his attention to two square-riggers, the first of which was Emily, a brigantine widely regarded as “an outstanding little beauty”. Built for Lord Belfast in 1830, Emily was measured at 30 tons and rigged, most unusually for a racing yacht, as a brigantine. In the event however, and despite her successes for Lord Belfast, it soon became apparent that he had commissioned her as little more than a ‘stalking horse’ for his real ambition to build a much larger square-rigger with which to astonish the yachting world. Thus, after only two years, and as soon as Lord Belfast took possession of his hugely celebrated WaterWitch (in 1832), little Emily was laid up for two years and, in 1834, sold to Captain Pechell, M.P., who raced until 1837 after which she disappeared from record, probably renamed by a new owner.Relined. Scattered retouching.

NICHOLAS CONDY (BRITISH, 1793-1857)The R.Y.S. cutter yacht 'Ganymede', with the owner J.H.W. Pigott Smyth Pigott Esq. on decksigned and inscribed 'The Cutter Yacht/ Ganymede 70 Ton/ Piggott Esq/ Painted by N. Condy Esq.' (on the artist's label, to the reverse)Oil on panel13¾ x 17⅞in. (34.9 x 45.4cm.)Ganymede was a 70-ton cutter first recorded at the Dublin Regatta on 22 July 1828 when she was owned by Colonel Madden. By the time the Colonel was elected to the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1832, he had sold Ganymede to the 3rd Lord Graves who only kept her for one season before selling her to Viscount Exmouth. After two further rapid changes of ownership, she was acquired by J.H.W.P. Smyth-Pigott in 1842 and he kept her until 1848 during which period she is known to have been painted by Condy.Apart from her appearance at the Dublin Regatta in 1828, there is no other record of Ganymede racing and her subsequent owners appear to have used her exclusively for cruising, a pursuit which had gained considerable popularity during the reign of William IV (1830-37). The following extract is taken from Guest & Boulton’s Memorials of the Royal Yacht Squadron, 1815-1900, publ. 1903:“.....Mr Smyth Pigott, in the Ganymede, was a notable disciple of the cruising school, who lived on his yacht all the year round, and spent most winters in the south. Mr. Pigott, “who is devoted to yachting and a very experienced sailor, and one of the most active members of the spirited aquatic fraternity of the R.Y.S.,” as Bell’s Life records. “His vessel, for man-of-war-like efficiency, order, trim, and discipline, is the beau ideal of the English gentleman’s yacht,” as we are told......”good overall condition, light scattered retouching to edges
