| notes | 1913 she was trawling in the Irish Sea: See Crew List 22/05/1920 Ceased fishingWe are grateful David Vincent who provided the copy of the postcard illustration. In March 2010 he wrote as follows :-I'm across the world in Australia but have family connections with Brixham as my mother's mother lived there until emigrating to Australia in 1913.Among my grandmother's things (I've had this particular item for a long time but only became interested in trying to find out more about it tonight) is a painting on a postcard of a sailing trawler wearing the number BM23.The postcard was apparently sent to my grandmother Elsie White, nee Downing, (born on 13/8/1888), for her birthday, but I don't know which year. Maybe it was during World War I as the note on the back says that the sender (unidentified) couldn't get an actual birthday card.The painter is identified as Victor Gregory with the additional information that "he [h]as done a lot since he [h]as been ill". On the Internet I did find a Victor George Gregory, son of George Gregory a Brixham fisherman, born 1898 died 1988; perhaps that's him? |

| notes | 02/11/1936 - No longer fishing. Probably became a yacht. In 1941 she was sailed to Lagos with a crew of five by Major Gus March-Phillipps; a wooden vessel was chosen as less likely to attract magnetic mines. Eventually she was used for a cutting out expedition against two enemy vessels at Fernando Po acting as supply ships for German submarines. The mission resulted in the capture of the Italian Liner 'Duche d'Aosta' and the German tanker 'Likomba' Maid Honor' was left in Lagos. Our thanks to Jan Drejer Petersen who informed us that she was sold after this famous raid and ended her days as a civilian trawler sailing from Freetown Sierra Leone (Added 21/02/2007) |

| notes | .At 9.00 am 15/11/1909 a 'GLEANER' was dismasted in a sudden N.E. Gale whilst fishing the Skerries Bank Start Bay. Signals not seen until 12 hours later. She had a flag 'Union Down' on a makeshift spar which was eventually seen. Lifeboat had a job to locate her as she was close inshore and low in the water. In breakers the lifeboat anchored and veered down on cable and took off three crew. Suffering cold and exposure they were taken into Dartmouth. No mention of vessel being salvaged but it appears she must have been - 'Wrecks and Rescues on coast of Devon' 13/02/1911 Broken up (See Crew lists and Brixham Notes 1903 & 1904 held in Brixham Heritage Museum) ) |

My great grandfather owned this yacht many years ago and I own a watercolor of 'Forseti'. He loved it and sailed to many different places. Is there any information as to where it is anchored, still being sailed etc? Please could you pass this request if possible to the current owner. I visit my family in England every year.'The following was received in July 2011 from Roy Perryman:-She was sailed to Shoreham in about 1947/8 and used as a home on a mud berth. She was owned by a Mr. Hemstock, ex R.N. The family were friends of my father's and I stayed aboard a few times. It must have been in the mid '60s when they sold it. |

| notes | 08/10/1932 To Bideford. We are grateful to Mr D.B. Jones who sent us the following information in December 2007:- 'In about 1960 myself and three friends in Liverpool decided we were going to buy a boat and convert it into a sailing boat/cruiser the idea been we would work on it in Liverpool then take it somewhere else and use it at the weekends. Our search focused around Albert dock and the other docks in the area we used a cafe in Canning Place (Maggie May's base so we were told!) The owner of the cafe was named George and he told us that that heowned a boat that was moored in Rhyl N. Wales at that time but when it came back to Liverpool he was going to sell it would we be interested. Thinking 30ft and £100 between us we waited for its return . When it eventually turned up and Georgetook us to Albert dock to see it we saw a whaler that had been converted and thought that was what we were here to see as you can imagine when he pointed to Clarissa and took us aboard and showed us round we were hooked. The price was £500 and we had to borrow the money Thankfully one of the lads father was an insurance agent and he got the money for us. Now about Clarissa' George had bought her a few years previously and had converted her to a 6 berth cruiser it was powered by 65 horse power Hill diesel engine with a 2:1 reduction gearbox. A deck cabin had been built on to the wheelhouse and aft of that was the oil tank . The whole deck had painted red including winches cleats and anything that didn't move. We then spent our time stripping the paint off everything that was needed finally the day camewhen we were hoisting the sail to see their condition our winch was working perfectly and the sails started going up unfortunately they were canvas and the mainsail went up in six pieces. We hadbeen usingher a fair bit in between working on her but then we started having problems with the stern gland leaking and the stern post was rotting Sad to say wegot a message saying she had sank in the dock fortunatelywe were insured and she was raised but was not a viable proposition to refurbish her we then sold her to the drydock foreman who made her seaworthy then sold her on to someone who took her to the river Alt Lancs {See following e-mail} we believe where she was dismasted and used as house boat . I hope this has been some interest to you I have attached a rather poorphotograph of her when we had her. yours David JonesAs a result of the above email we have received the followingin an e-mail dated 3rd February 2008 Dear Sir ! I am one of the four people mentioned by Mr D B Jones re BM61 Clarissa. Further to hisinformation Clarissa' was not beachedin the river Alt. But was deliberately beached at Hesketh Bank Nr Southport and allowed to rot. I believe the reason being that when the last owners were replacing the engine with a new one The sling broke and the engine dropped onto one of the part owners killing him instantly. The remaining owner being understandably upset by this accident then decided to put "Clarissa" to rest and disposed of her accordingly by having her towed to Hesketh Bank which is a fairly well known graveyard for boats. Best Regards. Ed Hurley |

| notes | 21/12/1909 - Driven ashore near Marazion Cornwall; Crew rescued by Rocket Apparatus. In strong ESE wind on Tuesday they anchored in the lee of St. Michael's Mount. At midnight the wind veered to West and chain parted. They went in over a reef and she struck. She was soon full of water and the sea was breaking over her. Flares were shown and the Coastguards rescued the whole crew with the Rocket apparatus. A wonderful rescue. (A picture from Eric Collins collection) |

| notes | January 1908 -The MINNIE' dragged foul of her on the moorings in a heavy Easterly wind and damaged her stern. In 1935 a 'WINNIE' described as a Brixham Trawler reappeared at Brixham. She had previously been owned by a George H. Williams fish merchant jointly with J.C.Pease. Then a German Master Mariner bought her he was Manfred C.F.R.Staehle. He sold her to a Bristol Piano Merchant who wanted her fitted out for a tropical expedition. The price was £200 of which £100 was paid on account; the rest to be paid on completion of various repairs. During repairs she fell over in Brixham Harbour and became derelict thereupon the new owner refused to pay the balance. Captain Staehle was superintending the repairs prior to going as skipper. Case went to Court. Mr. G.H.Cole said that Staehle had done everything possible top prevent her becoming a wreck and the owner was ordered to pay the balance of £100.000 9/11/1936 - To Plymouth We are grateful to Barry Johnson of Milford Trawlers who discovered the following reference in the log of Milford smack 'FLORA' 03.04.1913 While on Mounts Bay fishing ground the smack 'Winnie' of Brixham (BM 125) ran into us sustaining damages to channel(sic) and carrying away bowsprit and light board causing damage of £20.

This is the hulk of the former sailing trawler 'Antelope' lying on the Laira mud opposite Military Road and the railway carriage siding. The Antelope was a 'sloop class' sailing trawler built by Jackman's of Brixham in 1906 but joined the Plymouth trawl fleet in 1916. Registered as PH94 she fished from Plymouth till mid-1930s. During the Great War she was armed to enable her to 'Double-up' as a fishery protection vessel. She is the only survivor today of the once-large fleet of Plymouth sailing trawlers and since about 1962 has been a familiar landmark to rail passengers and motorists on the A38. Is it too much to ask that she should be allowed to die with some dignity? MARTIN LANGLEY Wells Somerset |

| notes | 18/05/1935 - While fishing off Land's End she sighted a three-masted schooner ‘WELCOME' flying a distress signal. The ‘WELCOME’ was about five miles East of Wolf Rock and had fouled her propeller on a rope. Attempting to sail past the ‘Longships’ she had lost a lot of canvas and was wallowing helplessly in heavy seas. ‘TORBAY LASS’ (which had no engine) took the bigger ship loaded with 200 tons of coal under tow. Skipper Alf Lovis steered almost to the Lizard on the port tack before coming round to bring her into Newlyn a tow lasting 12 hours. This is probably the last salvage tow under sail 11/10/1938 - Sold to A.E. Bradshaw - no longer fishing became a yacht. Appeared on Lloyds Register of Yachts as 'Kenya Jacaranda' owners Thames Sea Cadet Corps. June 1988 - Had been at Cook's Yard Marldon for over three years having a major rebuild and is now operated by the Thames based Mayflower Sail Training Society. Took part in the second Ipswich Festival of Traditional Sail this month. 1990 - Seen in Ramsgate Harbour - run by Sea Scouts. Has had a large deck-house built on stern but in full sailing commission. 1992 - August visited Brixham. |

See March's Sailing Trawlers p215 The Chronicle of 26/03/1965 had an article on the gale -'Vigilance was swept ashore at St. Govan's Head and dashed to pieces on the rocks. All drowned. Skipper Frank Crocker (should be Coaker) left 6 children. Others lost were 2nd hand W. Corder - left widow and 2 children 3rd hand apprentice J. King Apprentice Cook Alphonse Hendle. We are indebted to Barry Johnson of Monmouthshire for the following information From the log book of the Milford s.t. EMERALD 06.12.1910: Noon. When 3 miles from St Govan's Head bearing E observed smack 'Vigilance' making for the headland and having mistaken St Govan's for St Ann's the 'Vigilance came round head to wind and carried away main gaff. An effort was made to take Vigilance' in tow when in act of taking tow rope a heavy sea struck the Vigilance' and knocked her before the wind and swept her towards shore where it is assumed she foundered with all hands. 'Vigilance' BM 218 53 tons gross. Christopher Masterson (Skipper) From the Pembrokeshire Herald of Friday 16th December 1910: STIRRING SCENES AT MILFORD HAVEN ................... As was expected Saturday brought the tidings of disaster in the Channel. The steam trawler 'Emerald' reported a trying experience. She had been driven in and near St. Govan's Head sighted the smack 'Vigilance' in peril. Captain Chris Masterson attempted to get to her but could not make to leeward and a rope was thrown without success. The steamer's own position now became perilous. When she last saw the smack it was in a hopeless position but they could render no help and took several hours to clear themselves. The crew of the smack it is feared must have perished. The skipper was Frank Crocker and with three others hailed from Brixham. |

| notes | 16/12/1910 - She was caught in the Bristol Channel Gale. Mountainous seas had forced the crew to go below and the skipper crouched in the companion-way for fear of being swept overboard. A whirlpool of sea flung the nets all over the vessel so the crew had to cut through them to get on deck again. The weight of water on deck forced out the bulwarks and relieved the weight of water on deck. She reached Brixham safely in a battered condition. They had to gybe in the midst of the severe gale to get off a lee shore. 14/04/1914 - Sold to Belgium |

| notes | Mr. John Skedgell says she had all white canvas when new. On one occasion Peter Bulley the apprentice was alone ondeck sailing her home from 'roundland'. The wind was freshening and seas were coming aboard but he failed to call for help and in the end was afraid to leave the tiller. He sailed the mast right out of her. He got the sack. There was an earlier 'PETO' built in 1876. On 11/08/1896 that vessel 48 tons fell over in Brixham Harbour.Damage so bad she had to be condemned 28/06/1920 To F.W.Moxey of Lowestoft LT996 1927 - Olympian Ltd 1931 - To Norway and still there in 15/04/1964. At some time 100 bhp motor was fitted by Invincible Motor Co but removed in 1923 Feb 1987 was found on the Hamble and bought by a Mr. Wallis of 6 Portsmouth Street Walney Island Barrow-in-Furness. Vessel had only the mainmast & Wheelhouse. His intention was to restore her. |

| notes | 1942 No longer fishing. She was seen on the Clyde Feb/March 1944 by Mr R Pillar being used in firing trial torpedoes. To get her below 25 tons (could be sailed without a skipper's ticket) a lavatory was installed and the floor of the accommodation lowered. This gave insufficient leg room so after she had been given her registered Net Tonnage it was again raised. The Customs at Milford spotted it and would not let her sail until the skipper produced his ticket or the floor was raised again. |

| notes | 05/01/1937 - No longer fishing It is said that many years later an English Submarine is reported to have come up directly beneath her and she was severely strained and taken into Plymouth. All hands saved. 16/06/06 - We are grateful to Robert Guy who has today furnished us with the following information. Robert was born 2nd January 1930 in Wolverhampton and moved to Brixham in 1939 so he was just over 16 at the time of the incident. Following the end of WWII the vessel was being operated by Torbay Trawlers Ltd. who had along with several others and several of the larger type of MFV given her a steel superstructure consisting of wheelhouse engine room skylight and a galley at the after end. In the wee hours of Feb.11 1946 while being skippered by Tom Taylor and trawling in the vicinity of the Eddystone Light she was struck on the port bow by H.M.Submarine 'Saga' as it was returning to Devonport after exercising. The trawler went down in a matter of minutes and I being the youngest aboard was sent into the boat first but was thrown into the waters as it capsized under the weight and sudden imbalance of the others. I did manage to scramble back aboard the trawler whose freeboard was getting less and less but was back in the sea again when it took its final plunge. After much difficulty in the darkness the sub managed to pick all of us up and landed us at Plymouth the following day. The incident was well covered in the Western Morning News and the Daily Express a day or so later. According to the eventual court martial the blame for the accident lay squarely with the young officer of the watch who prior to the accident had been relieved by the sub's Commander. The court martial ruled that the young officer had been aware of the presence of the trawler for some time but failed to report it to the Commander as the watch changed. The sub had been doing nine knots on the surface at the time of the collision. Robert Guy |

| notes | 14/02/1917 - Stranded at Fishcombe and became a total wreck. (Apparently she broke adrift from her mooring struck Fishcombe point and Barney and ended up as a wreck on Churston Quay; Her keel and ribs could be seen there for many years. It is thought that the trawler's mooring was cut by a steamer 'S.S.Storeacre' which was in trouble during the gale.) Her name was derived from the initials of his three children:- B essie S am and E dward. |

Originally built as a life boat to serve with the North Sea Fishing Fleet but was sold to a man who fitted her out as a yacht. Ralph Stock saw her in Brixham towards the end of 1914/18 war and bought her for £300. He had her registered as a trawler to provide funds for a prospective voyage. Soon after the war he sailed her to Tonga via Panama. He sold her on an impulse and afterwards regretted it. (See 'Shipping Wonders of the Word' page 391 for full account.

Eventually the builder confided that there had been a local parson 'Harry Martin' who had lost his wife and the villagers were sure he had poisoned her. She turned out to be an unlucky vessel as she lost a lot of gear.

He had lost his gear 25 miles off the Start as the steam capstan had broken down and the crew were unable to heave the gear aboard with the hand winch. During the last three years he has lost nine sets of gear each costing £90/£100. So gross earning of £1000 a year would not cover the expenses. Grounds were full of wrecks and Belgians were using power with small mesh nets. 30/10/1935 - No longer fishing |
