RMS Aquitania. Designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland. She is the third of a trio of liners (others being Mauretania & Lusitania). She was launched in 1913 and was built for Cunard's weekly Liverpool to New York service with her first voyage in April 1914. She was 901 feet long, a breadth of 97ft and a gross tonnage of 46,000. She could also carry 3000 passengers. Cunard was a rival to the White Star Line but were to merge later on to form the cunard White Star Line. Model on loan from Glasgow Museums.
During the inter-war period the Underground Group, that also owned the General Buses , and the successor organisation after 1933, London Transport, issued a series of leaflets in which were collected series of newspaper adverts. These were often commissioned, as were panel and full size posters, from various artists and designers. This series of seven, showing activities and destinations on a typical London Sunday are by artist Arthur Watts. It is worth recalling that for many decades British Sunday's were markedly quieter days than today; most shops and businesses were closed and the day was intended for religious observance, family events or cultural activities such as museums and art galleries.
The seven adverts feature; Petticoat Lane Market via Aldgate East station, Speakers Corner via Marble Arch station, Regents Park via the station of that name, model boats on the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens via High Street Kensington station, the Victoria & Albert Museum via South Kensington, Hyde Park via Hyde Park Corner station and the Natural History Museum, again via South Kensington. The artist depicts these busy scenes, and with vignettes, and it must be rememebered that the illustrations could contain depictions that conform to the contemporary social attitudes and not those we would expect today. This copy of the leaflet was acquired some years ago via a dealer having been surplus from the LT publicity files. It was likely printed by the Curwen Press in Plaistow, London.
Arthur George Watts DSO (1883 - 1935) was a noted illustrator and artist who was widely commissioned for periodicals and advertising. Watts, who had won the DSO for bravery during wartime service in the Royal Naval Reserve, was killed in a crash of a KLM flight in the Italian Alps on 20 July 1935.

Rear and side view of a model of the Gunboat Philadelphia -- which was sunk on October 11, 1776, in Valcour Bay, Lake Champlain (off New York).
The American Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775 after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. In late 1775, the Americans attempted to invade Canada (partly in the hope that Canada would also rebel, partly in the hope of seizing it and denying the British access to their bases there), but this failed miserably. The British then decided to invade New York.
The British received completed schooners from England, but the Americans had to build theirs.
The American shipbuilding occurred at Skenesboro (present-day Whitehall, New York). The "Philadelphia" was one of 15 gunboats (also called "gundalows" or "gondolas") but at Skenesboro. She was laid down in early July 1776 and launched in mid-August. Her first skipper was a Captain Rice.
The British and American lake navies fought on October11. The "Philadelphia" was commanded by Benjamin Rue. An unknown British vessel hit the "Philadelphia" with a 24-pound shot and she sank. The Americans were defeated, and only slipped away in the darkness after a six hour battle. Most of the American lake navy was burned, sunk, or captured over the next two days.
In the 1930s, Colonel Lorenzo F. Hagglund (a WWI veteran and professional diver who owned a salvage engineering company) began searching for the remains of the American lake navy. In 1935, Hagglund discovered the "Philadelphia" sitting upright on the lake bottom. He raised her that year along with hundreds of other items. Because of the way Hagglund raised the vessel, much of the archeological data necessary to determine exactly what happened to the Philadelphia, how she sank, and how many men went down with her was irrevocably lost.
Hagglung exhibited the ship at various locations for several years. She was given to the Smithsonian in 1961.

The Riva Aquarama was designed by Carlo Riva in the 1960s. The Riva is noted as one of the most legendary and famous speedboats out there. It is available as a FULLY ASSEMBLED model ready to be proudly display as a piece of history.
Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.
This is truly beautiful model of the Riva Aquarama with western red cedar and mahogany hull. There are multiple tones of wood decking on the bow. You can find exquisite details from the leather works to all the realistic gauges. All fittings such as windshield frame, wiper, navigation lights, mirror, flag pole are made of stainless steel. The cockpit has two hand stitched individual leather seats as well as a rear passenger seat. The swimming platform also comes with stainless steel hand rails.
The model rests on a wooden stand for easy display.
History: In 1962 Carlo Riva introduced the AQUARAMA series of new fast runabouts. She was powered by a 2-Riva 350 horse power engines and was hailed as the water borne Ferrari by the industry. AQUARAMA is still being built by Riva; over 800 have been delivered. Without question, Riva of Italy, which traces its beginnings to a mid-19th century carpenter shop, is the world leader in producing elegent, luxury wooden runabouts.

We went to the Museum of Montserrat while we were at Montserrat. The entrance is from the Square of Saint Mary, and you go down some stairs. The museum is underground.
Was many works of art here to see.
It occupies the area beneath the three squares that stand before the monastery. Was built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1929 and 1933.
The Museum of Montserrat showcases a selection of the most outstanding artistic and archaeological heritage at the thousand-year-old Abbey of Montserrat. The museum contains six very different collections. More than 1300 pieces are exhibited in the museum, embracing a vast chronological period.
The original basis of the Museum of Montserrat was the so-called ‘Biblical Museum’, a huge, admirable work by the monk Dom Bonaventura Ubach (Barcelona, 1879-Montserrat, 1960), who spent long periods of his life in Jerusalem and Beirut from 1906.
The oldest exhibit is an Egyptian sarcophagus from the 13th century BC, whilst the most recent is a painting by Sean Scully dating to 2010. The sarcophagus forms part of the Archaeology of the Biblical East Collection, along with other objects from the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, the Holy Land and Cyprus.
There is also an exhibition devoted to the Iconography of Our Lady of Montserrat, which traces the changing way in which the Virgin has been represented in art over the centuries.
Since 2006 the Museum of Montserrat has a new section: a collection of about 160 Byzantine and Slavic icons that is titled Phos Hilaron (joyful light). These icons presented on the environment of an oriental church where the light has an important role.
The other collections are: Goldsmithery, comprising liturgical objects from the 15th to the 20th century; Painting from the 13th to the 18th century, which includes works by Berruguete, El Greco, Caravaggio, Luca Giordano, Tiepolo, etc.; and 19th and 20th century Painting, which boasts one of the finest collections of Catalan painting, including such outstanding names as Fortuny, Rusiñol, Casas, Nonell, Mir, Gimeno, Anglada Camarasa, Picasso, Dalí, etc. French Impressionist art is also represented in this section, with works by Monet, Sisley, Degas, Pissarro, etc., as well as graphic works by many of the greatest contemporary artists: Chagall, Braque, Le Corbusier, Rouault, Miró, Dalí, Picasso, Clavé, Tàpies, etc.
The Museum of Montserrat is a living entity. It experiences a constant transformation and continuous and renewed exhibitions of its collection. Only a small part of it is exhibited permanently. This is why temporary exhibitions follow each other non-stop in the Pere Daura Room and the Pere Pruna Art Space. These temporary exhibitions make up the best complement to the Museum’s visitors and stand for the real efforts of this institution. On 2015 a Sean Scully art space was opened at Santa Cecilia in Montserrat.

Wall Fragment from the Tomb of Amenemhet and His Wife, Hemet
Egyptian
Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12
(c. 1991 - 1784 B.C.)
Limestone, with pigment
Museum Purchase Fund, 1920.262
Lauded by Breasted as "one of the finest pieces I ever saw," this relief still retains its original, brightly colored four-thousand-year-old pigment. The function of Egyptian tomb art was to preserve scenes of daily life for the afterlife. In this scene, Amenemhet and his wife are outfitted with food and drink to sustain them after death. With this piece, Breasted provided the museum with a beautiful and archetypal example of Egyptian funerary art that also depicts the daily lives of ancient Egyptians.
Model Boat
Egyptian
Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11 / 12 (c. 2134 - 1784 B.C.)
Wood with pigment
In the Middle Kingdom, tomb paintings and statues were often supplemented with wooden models. This boat is fully equipped with a crew, oars, and a mast. It was thought that the model could provide the soul of the deceased not only with routine transportation, but also with the ability to make the pilgrimage to the sacred city of Abydos in southern Egypt, the cult center of the God Osiris.

I was determined to have at least one model of Scottish road, rail, air and water travel. Anyscale models very helpfully fulfilled the water aspect with this uniquely Scottish, manually operated, turntable ferry. This wonderful 1:76 scale, resin set just requires assembly and painting. It thankfully prevented my having to scratch build a CalMac ferry in that scale.
I have painted this in the same style as the MV Glenachulish, the world’s last manual turntable ferry, and featured in the linked video, by Tom Scott. The model however was created by Anyscale as a generic turntable ferry, representative of the type. -https://youtu.be/H2ZBSFiuWIo?si=
At one time turntable ferries have operated at 11 water crossings around Scotland. Whilst the MV Glenachulish is the last active, previously these types were found operating at; Ballachulish, Bonawe, Corran, Cuan, Dornie, Kessock, Kyleakin, Kylerhea, Kylesku (the most northerly), Scalpay and Strome. Before bridges these vessels provided a critical inter-island link for vehicles and foot passengers alike.
I’ve named this “MV Western Spinner”, she’s seen both during crossing and at the slipway, carrying then offloading a Police car and Royal Mail Postbus, both Land Rovers.
The new outdoor pond at the Scottish Maritime Museum is now structurally complete and has been partly filled thanks to the local Fire Service. I could not resist the temptation to christen the new pond and thought it fitting that my model of the museum's very own steam yacht Carola should be the first vessel on the water. Myself and the other local club members are eagerly awaiting the complete filling and Grand Opening.
