Memorabilia

This is a section where you can display your items of Navy memorabilia. You may wish to try and sell them here or just show them off. I'm hoping this will become a trading post for all "Sea Stuff" from all over the World. If you do wish to sell an item I'll post your price and have an email address for people to make you an offer.

Pacific Princess Porthole

Belongs to Jim Ross and is Not for Sale

P&O Blazer Badge

Belongs to James O'Sullivan and is Not for Sale

James recalls;

P&O blazer badge made to order in Bombay India in late 1954 on my first voyage. From memory I think it cost about £5 in those days, supplied and sown to blazer jacket. The gold plated wire is showing signs of distress, I guess to be expected as it is now 55 years old. The badge has outlived the blazer jacket though.

Courtesy of Rod Mahon (Captain - Retired)

Rod writes;

I was with T&J Harrison's (Liverpool) Blue Star - Larrinaga Steam Shipping Co - ex Conway Cadet 1965. I have some stuff I want to sell - The Commander of The Queen Mary 2 is Ronald Warwick, he is also an ex Conway Cadet. In 2004 I went to her launch in St Nazaire and followed her to Southampton on sea trials. I am the patron of an association that helps visually impaired musicians in Ireland. I have various documents and pictures given for me to sell by Captain Warwick, all original and signed in gold leaf by him i.e. Photo of arrival in Southampton on sea trials Dec 26th 2003 signed in gold leaf - Inaugural Information Sheet Jan 9th 2004 (very rare) - Photo of her in Barbados docks signed in gold leaf - The very 1st ever Daily Programme (Captains Issue - signed and certified) absolutely unique can never be another. Daily Programme Jan 14th 2004 (Maiden voyage) - Daily Programme February 2nd 2004 anchored off San Juan - Letter from Cunard and Captain Warwick to myself in original envelope. The photos come without the Guinness beer mats - don't want them copied. I also have the private phone number of the Commander to verify their authenticity.

Royal Princess Inauguration Commemorative Plate

Belongs to Jeannie Nemeth and one is For Sale

Jeannie writes;

In November 1984 Princess Diana helped celebrate the inaugural of the Royal Princess. Above is the commemorative plate that was made for that occasion. It's beautiful Royal Daulton bone china with gold trim and a nice inscription. I happen to have an extra one if anybody out there would like it.

Spoon Collection

These items belong to Jim Ross and are FOR SALE.

Jim adds;

All of these were collected as I visited with both P&O and Princess Cruises. Spoons show: Pacific Princess, Alaska, Florida, Mexico, and one of the Endeavour, which is silver plated. All of the items are for sale, as separate pieces, or as a set. Interested parties can contact me for further details.

ss Arcadia Pennant 1954

Belongs to James O'Sullivan and is Not for Sale

ss Canberra Scarf

This belongs to Jim Ross and is FOR SALE.

Jim adds;

This is a Canberra Ladies Scarf which I bought during the late 70s. This item is for sale and I am open to offers for it. It has a little stain on it which I am hesitant to remove by washing as it could remove it's overall age. I served onboard during 1979, with Commodore Woolley and Staff Captain Philip Jackson, so this scarf could be a collectors item, even though it's now approximately 21 years old.

ss Chusan Souvenir Lifebelt (1968)

This belongs to Paul Goodman and is FOR SALE.

This is a soft pastel I created on murano textured paper of the Big O at Trondheim, 1979, when I was aboard. I've placed this picture also on redbubble where anyone who wants a copy can obtain one in different sizes, framed and unframed. This original is for sale and I won't refuse any reasonable offer along with postage and packing. It's size is 18.5 x 13 inches. I called the piece "Thor's Realm"

ss Oriana Spoon (Orient Line Days)

Belongs to Mike Williams and is Not for Sale

ss Oriana Travel Wallet

This wonderful gift looks absolutely brand new but it was actually purchased from the Oriana gift shop by Kevin Timm's aunt for Kevin's mum in 1975.

It's obviously never been used and she was about to throw it out but Kevin rescued it and sent it to me knowing how much it would be revered and treasured but even Kevin will never know just how much. It brought tears to my eyes and I was overwhelmed with emotion when I opened it today. Thank you so much Mr Timms and oh! by the way, it is most definitely NOT FOR SALE!

ss Oriana original Water Colour

Belongs to Steve Borrill (formally Paul Robinson aka Blue or Blee) and is definitely Not for Sale

This is an original water colour painting of our beloved Oriana painted by "Primrose".

Paul writes;

My sister gave me this painting 20 years ago, she knows the artist, who gave it to her when she mentioned that I sailed on the Oriana. I was having a re-organization of stored stuff and realised that the painting had been stored for over 10 years and that you could put it to better use.

Oh, how right you are Blee!
