these are quoted in UK Pounds (£). If you have a
specific question concerning an individual item, or require
a more detailed image, please contact us, we will respond
as soon as possible.

Please read our Terms

us, detailing your requirements. We will then provide
a firm quotation (inclusive of packing, delivery and insurance
costs) together with details for secure Credit Card payment

Updates
We endeavour to update our stock listing at the start
of each month. The stock status indicator buttons are
updated more frequently, but we cannot guarantee that
any item marked as available has not been sold!
Web Log
Our stock is constantly changing, so it's not possible
to list the full inventory, or update the stock pages
on a daily basis. We have recently introduced a Web
Log which we will use to notify visitors of new stock
and other snippets of information - we hope you'll find
this useful.
Collectors
If you have a specialist interest, or need that unique
piece to complete your collection, please ask - we have
many unlisted items. If not in our current stock, we may
know where to source it for you!

HMS Ocean off Japan - 1902
 We
have recently sold a Log Book
from HMS Ocean.
This photograph of an original oil painting has been
kindly supplied to us by Jean O'Shea, from the United
States. It was painted, with considerable skill, by
her Great Uncle, Daniel Crowley.
The scene graphically depicts HMS Ocean
in heavy seas, against a stormy sky. At the time she
was on passage between the Japanese ports of Kobe and
Nagasaki, on the 7th and 8th of August 1902. What excites
us, is that this actual voyage was detailed in "our"
Log Book.
Although Jean has no family history to accompany the
painting, she assumes that her Great Uncle was, either
serving on HMS Ocean or, perhaps, one
of her sister ships? If any readers have information
relating to Daniel Crowley - either as a Seaman, or
as an Artist! - please contact us.
We will pass the information to Jean, who is researching
the history of her Great Uncle's Naval Service.
Many thanks to Jean O'Shea for sharing
this emotive picture with us, and for allowing it to
be published (possibly for the first time) on our website. |
