    Models built by the young pirates, on the deck of the Diamantina

    Pirates Week June 2015

    Despite a very wet Monday for the start of the week long activity, the children and adults were thoroughly entertained by our now, well proven program. For the younger ones: Walk the Plank, Scrub and Swab a deck, Lie in a Hammock, Try the Ship’s Blocks and Tackle, Build a toy boat, Work the Big Guns, Row a Boat [on dry land] and Throw a Life Line. And for the older ones: Work the Big Guns, Row a Boat [on dry land], Throw a Life Line, Flags, Sails & Cannons, Pirate Food and

    Finding the Way and Build a toy Boat. And for all groups: Finding the Buried Treasure! As well, special prizes for best pirate costume on the day and a Daily Colouring Poster competition. On the Monday only, the Pantomime Production was conducted inside the

    museum building on the floor of the “Lighthouse Room”, with the audience positioned around in the next floor looking down. As the parents had come prepared for wet weather, the rest of the activities were completed without too much drama. The new story line for the Pantomime and new location against the river and under the Goodwill Bridge, [for the other days] was an instant success. Top marks to Percy and Jack for putting on such a well-polished production. Comments from the parents were about the question- “are they all professionals?”

    This year, both age groups completed a new model of a Pirate Ship. This was assembled on the Quarter Deck of the Diamantina and under cover and the watchful eye of Geoff and his team. This location also turned out to be the ideal departure point for signing off by the parents as well as ensuring “their boat”, was collected.

    2015 Toy Model Pirate Ship The hull kits made by the Wooden Boat crews

    Friday’s helpful Wooden Boat Crew And the very willing builders [with Geoff’s help!] The new plastic oars for rowing, suggested by Misha, worked very well for the children, as they were much lighter that the originals. Percy’s location upstairs at the Explorers’ map was an excellent backdrop for the activity “Finding the Way”. Again, the competitions for the colouring in poster and Best Dressed Pirate were well supported and were a big hit during the lunch time presentations. We were also helped with guiding by the volunteers from Griffith University. Robert Tillmanns and his supporters kept the food supply coming. Good feedback of the food quality was a regular item. This year, the crew kitchen was used and it too, worked out

  • Maritime Manifest Spring 2015 Page 4

    well.

    Robert and his capable team with the food preparation. Jenny preparing the sample bags The final numbers for the week were as follows: Total Number of Children Attending: 244 Adults: 139 5 to 6 Years=48.8 %, with Children 5 years attending now grown to 30.7 %. The average number of volunteers assisting each day was 38 and a total of 953 hours competed, by all involved by the weeks end. A Fantastic effort and thanks to all who helped. There is always a large number of behind the scenes support needed to make Pirates Week the success it is. These include the “Publicity Machine”, [John, Kerrelyn, Ray, Desley], the Printers, the Wooden Boat crew, QMM Management with Ian and Alan and as well the bookings and administration by Mike and Maree. We are very fortunate to have a great team to deliver this exciting QMM event each year. 2016 will be our 5th production.

    Adventure in the Strait of Gibraltar

    By Esme' Lucas Havens

    It was February the 28th and still rather wintery. The day before we had sailed with the "San Guiseppe Due" from Gibraltar to Ceuta across the Strait of Gibraltar. The vessel was a felucca built for my husband to do Antarctic expeditions. In fact he did two expeditions and she was the first Italian vessel ever to go to Antarctica. The day was fine and the sea calm. Dolphins played under our bow. Our objective was to buy some duty free in Ceuta to take back to Gibraltar. On the 28th, the weather had broken and a "levanter", (East wind), got up very rapidly. We had to wait until nearly midday for the duty free to be delivered and by then a gale had developed and a heavy sea. We left immediately the bottles had been stowed.

  • Maritime Manifest Spring 2015 Page 5

    Luckily we were just under motor or I would not be here to tell the tale. In the middle of the straits I happened to look up and to my horror I saw a huge wave rearing up on the starboard side. Luckily Giovanni saw it too and hung on. I hung on too but when the wave broke over us with tons of green water, I lost my grip. The next thing I realised was that I was in the sea. I was annoyed because I had on a black waterproof instead of my usual red one, which would have been easy to see. However, I was glad that I was barefoot, no boots to fill and drag me down. I saw the empty outboard motor tank floating nearby, so swam to it and hung on. The strange thing was that I had no fear. I had such faith in my husband’s seamanship. He tried to throw the life ring and line to me but found he couldn't leave the wheel as the ship dropped away on the waves and he feared to loose sight of me. So he tried to bring the bow to me but, there was nothing to grab. You have no idea how much antifouling you can see when a ship rolls in a very heavy sea! He next tried to bring the stern to me. Not a conventional maneuver in those circumstances. He stopped going in astern and put a touch ahead before reaching me to just drift down. At the last minute another large wave lifted the ship and he thought it would kill me. But, due to the shape of the hull, my shoulder was only a little bruised and I managed to grab the rudder chain and then climb up the attachments of the automatic pilot rudder and tumble onto the deck. He suffered shock for ten days but I was all right, just happy to be alive. The captain of a huge salvage tug in Gibraltar, when he heard, checked his ships log for the weather report of the 28th February. He turned to me and said, "You now have a new birthday". The local port surveyor told us later that that was the only day in over thirty years, that the Gibraltar - Tangier ferry, "Mons Calpe" suffered damage. A work boat and a wheelhouse door were stove in by a huge wave, my wave.

    "San Guiseppe Due"

    Many people do not believe in freak waves but I can assure you that they do exist. Sometimes ships disappear with no explanation. Satellite images now show freak waves quite frequently. This cat lost one of her nine lives that day.

    Childhood Cancer Support day at the QMM

    On Saturday September 19, the Childhood Cancer Support group held a “talk like a pirate day” at QMM. Starting at 10.00 am and concluding at 3.00 pm, the family fun day drew predominantly the families of children with cancer, but also the general public, who came and had some pirate fun and helped raise the awareness of Childhood Cancer Support. QMM volunteers worked with Ms Rona Claffey, Events & Fundraising Manager and QMM CEO Ian Jempson to make the day a successful one. Their attractions included a large inflatable “Pirates Ship”!

    The volunteers from the Childhood Cancer Support were more than satisfied by the help and assistance given by all at QMM, to make the day so successful.

    Australian Maritime Museums National Conference

    This year’s Australian National Maritime Council Conference was held in the delightful town of Goolwa, SA, which is at the mouth of the Murray River on Lake Alexandrina, 83 km south of Adelaide and 19 km from Victor Harbour. A number of heritage listed, steam paddle steamers travelled down the Murry from their upstream ports and were well supported by their passionate volunteers. They joined the Goolwa paddle steamer Oscar W which was built in 1908 by Franz Oscar Wallin (commonly known as Charlie Wallin) at Echuca. The paddle steamers were also used for conference excursions

    , Delegates from all the states had assembled for this year’s conference and included the Queensland Maritime Museum who was represented by C.E.O. Ian Jempson and long-time member Gary Deakin.

    This conference also led onto the Biennial South Australia Wooden Boat Festival.

    Over the 3 days, the conference covered many topics provided by the museums from each state. QMM’s presentation was by Ian Jempson on QMM- A Rescue Mission.

    The conference also learned of new audio visual technology relating to past vessels e.g. HMAS Protector now a breakwater at Heron Island.

    WHERE NEXT?

    During the Goolwa 2015 AMMC Conference there was discussion about the future planning of meetings for members of the AMMC.

    The AMMC Board has in mind a conference in 2017 in Hobart held in conjunction with the 2017 Australian Wooden Boat Festival. But before the final decision is made, the Board will review how best to arrange meetings which are accessible, useful and affordable in these times of ever-tighter budgets. Workshops and regional 'chapter' meetings are on the table for discussion alongside traditional conferences.

    The Board will report back to AMMC members by mid-2015.

    Maritime Museums – Canakkale, Turkey Background Before the landing of the Anzacs and Allied forces at Gallipoli an important naval battle took place inside the Dardanelles. Churchill’s grand plan was for the Allied battleships to bombard the numerous Turkish Forts along the foreshores thus enabling a swift capture of Istanbul. This activity was the scene of the Canakkale Naval Battle. The initial attack was carried out during March 1915 by a large number of large British and French vessels including the battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth, who shelled the Fort at Canakkale. Unbeknown to the Allies, the Turkish Ottoman Navy had laid 26 mines parallel with the beach of Erenköy Bay on 8th March 1915 with a new small German built mine layer, Nusret. During a series of operations, the Allied fleet suffered severe losses from this new mine field. Consequently, Battleships HMS Irresistible, , and the French battleship HMS OceanBouvet were all sunk. This changed the plans of war which then led to the Allied Armies landing along the coast at Cape Helles, ANZAC Cove and Suvla Bay to attack overland and secure the Dardanelles.

    Report by QMM Hon. Life Member Jack Duvoisin

    The Commonwealth Lighthouse Service celebrated its centenary at Queensland Maritime Museum on Saturday 4 July. Although the Service was a national organisation the previous largest reunions have been held here in Queensland with the Museum hosting the last seven or so. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority was happy to have the celebration held here. Commemorative coins were issued by the Australian Mint and Australia Post did a small stamps issue. Background The Commonwealth’s authority to provide for marine aids to navigation was included in Section 51 of the Australian Constitution and the Lighthouse Act was proclaimed in 1911. The Service has come a long way since Director Joshua Fielden Ramsbotham first led the Service on 1 July 1915 and has seen many changes in the past 100 years. It has passed through several Federal Government departments, had several name changes and fostered a program of continual technological change to improve the quality and efficiency of the service provided. Today, it exists in name only but no one can deny that the Service and its people have made significant contributions to the safety of life at sea all around the Australian coastline and to the preservation of many of the magnificent structures that today are included in the Australian Register of the National Estate. History The 100 years of service with Joshua Fielden Ramsbotham and his small staff began on 1 July 1915 the Commonwealth’s aids to navigation service to the maritime industry. The Commonwealth Lighthouse Service has many proud and happy members of the

    Commonwealth Lighthouse Service Centenary 1 July 1915 to 1 July 2015

  • Maritime Manifest Spring 2015 Page 17

    Service. They have had a wonderful working life in an organisation that had a clear sense of purpose that had to overcome the tyranny of distance in and around our continent and its islands. They often had to work in difficult and challenging climatic conditions and in physically difficult locations. Also, the field work carried out by the lighthouse mechanics and the ships’ crews who built structure foundations on the Great Barrier Reef, often working in water to get the initial foundation and scaffolding work done. The task of transporting men, materials and equipment to land and reef sites, of resupplying the manned lighthouses and the structure painting work undertaken by the ships crews all around the coastline. That is just a part of the whole operation, and recognition is also given to the engineers and technical people who have designed the aids to navigation locations and equipment at places like Port Hedland, Hydrographers Passage and the Torres Strait to create the safe ocean highways for the principal customer, the international shipping industry. The Commonwealth Lighthouse Service has also dealt with environmental issues including here in Queensland the Giant Subterranean Cockroach in the land adjacent to Bustard Head and the Torresian Imperial Pigeon that bothered us on a number of GBR sites, and nationally we have worked with traditional owners at a number of sites and also taken care of the many lighthouse structures that are included in the Register of the National Estate. The Art Exhibition The recent Australian Society of Marine Artist’s Annual Exhibition held at the Museum from 1 July to 29 September was timed to coincide with the Centenary Day and with its theme of Lighthouses and aspects the exhibition featured 30 paintings by the Society’s members. From late 2014, Don Braben and I worked on the concept and the arrangements for the exhibition and Don produced the evocative attached poster to set the scene and theme.

    The Exhibition was opened by Kasper Kuiper, honorary Dutch Consul and Branch Master, Queensland, Company of Master Mariners). The opening was attended by many of the 230 people at the Museum for the centenary

  • Maritime Manifest Spring 2015 Page 18

    celebration day giving the Society probably its highest attendance at an exhibition opening and one of its highest prizes offerings. First prize (Acquisitive) of $1500 was sponsored by Brisbane based Australian Maritime Systems, an international company and also major sponsor for the lighthouse centenary celebrations and was presented by Managing Director John Sugarman. Second prize of $500 was from a donation by the Coleston family and was in tribute to a significant and long serving lighthouse service member Russell Coleston. The prize winners were First -Warwick Webb NSW. Second, our own Don Braben, QLD and Third Prize-Bill Thomas NSW The Event Program included welcome Messages received from: Peter Morris. Peter was the Labour Member for Shortland and Minister for Transport from 1983 -1987, he was than Minister for Transport and Communications Support in 1987/98. and the I.A.L.A. The International Association of Lighthouse Authorities. [Paris] Guest Speakers included Clive Davidson-"From Gas Light to Sun Light", Michael Sampson- “The Cape Ships” and Stuart Richey AM, Chairman of AMSA- “The Launch of the Centenary Commemorative Coins and Stamp Set “and a “View of the AMSA in 2015” At the conclusion of the day’s ceremonies, a special “Light House Cake” was cut to mark the important occasion. The cutting of the cake was a shared responsibility with seven cake cutters. These included the AMSA’s Chairman Stuart Richey, who also acted as the honorary Tasmanian Representative and took the centre position. The rest of the team included Steve Stavely [WA], Sue Simitzis (nee Cameron) [SA and the ACT], Maureen Bailey [NSW], Kayleen Edington, [Far North QLD], Alba Campobasso [VIC] and Col Gladstone representing VIC, QLD, N.T. and Thursday Island.

    The model lighthouse on the cake is that of Macquarie Light, Vaucluse Sydney, the second lighthouse (1883) on the site of the original 1817 tower. Another of Lachlan Macquarie's monuments. It was undoubtedly the largest gathering of lighthouse people in the 100 years of the Service. The event's organisation took most of Jack’s waking hours from late January until the big day.
