Caledonia. This description of the HMS Caledonia was found in August 2000 at the Bonhams Auction website. They had a

model of this ship, crafted about 1807, up for auction at that time. An image of the model was available on the site at that

time, however, is not now available.



"At the time of her completion the largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy and only the second vessel in the fleet to

mount 120 guns, HMS Caledonia was laid down in Plymouth Dockyard on 1st January 1805 and launched by Sir William

Rule - one of the Surveyors of the Navy and the man who had designed her - on Saturday, 25th June 1808. Originally ordered

as a 100-gun first rate but altered whilst on the stocks, her gundeck measured an impressive 205 feet in length, her beam was

a massive 54 1/2 feet in breadth and she displaced 4,596 tons. In every respect she was a magnificent fighting ship and, whit

the Napoleonic Wars still at their height, she was commissioned as soon as she was ready for sea with a complement of 866

men and boys. Caledonia saw her first taste of action in the spring of 1809 when as flagship to Admiral Lord Gambia, she

played a central role in the daring fireship attack on the French fleet lying in the Basque Roads, off St. Nazaire, on 11-12th

April. Although Lard Gambia was subsequently criticised for not pressing home his advantage to even greater effect, it was

nevertheless a notable victory and one from which his ship emerged with the reputation for reliability which stayed with her

throughout her long life. Despite the success of the Basque Roads operation, the blockade of France's ports continued year on

year and Caledonia was still on station of St. Nazaire when, on 24th February 1811, she was struck by lightning during a

severe storm. Even though only one man was seriouly hurt, her fore topmast split completely in half and her foremast was

also badly damaged necessitating a trip to Portsmouth where a new mast was fitted. When this work had been completed, she

became flagship to Admiral Sir Edward Pellew - later Lord Exmouth of Algiers fame - and with him went out to the

Mediterranean on a tour of duty lasting three years. Whilst there, she was flagship at the fall of Genoa on 18th April 1814

where several enemy warships, including the 74-gun Brilliant, were captured. Returning home that August when it appeared

that the war with France was finally at an end, she was laid up in Plymouth and not commissioned again until 1830. Used as

an experimental ship in 1831, she was then extensively refitted prior to serving two more terms as flagship in the

Mediterranean before being withdrawn from active service in the early 1850s. In 1856 she was fitted out to take the place of

the old Dreadnought seamen's Hospital Ship moored at Greenwich and the following year was renamed Dreadnought, not

only for the sake of continuity but also because the name of Caledonia was needed for a new ironclad then building at

Woolwich. Fulfilling the role of a floating infirmary until the hospital facility was moved ashore in 1873, she was then

deemed no longer worth saving or even hulking and was towed to Chatham where she was broke up early in 1875." He was

a Sailor - dischg HMS Caledonia on January 27, 1848. He appeared on the census in 1851 in Stoke Damerel, Stoke Damerel,

Death document in file.



The Moray Weekley News 23 Feb 1878

"Sad Cash of Drowning" We regret to learn that Mr. W. West, chief boatman of the Coast Guard Station at Buckie, was

drowned on Friday. Mr. West and mrs. Gibbs, Customs House Officer, Buckie, were across at Kingston on some business.

Returning home about 6:30 PM having procured a boat from one of the ships which was moored at the mouth of the river

Spey they proceeded to cross the river at the Tugnet Ferry. When about the middle of the river, which was swollen at the

time, a rope which was mooring one of the ships and extended from side to side of the river was not observed by the

occupants of the boat until it struck Mr. West and knocked him out of the boat into the river. He was carried away so swiftly

by the current that Mr. Gibbs could render him no assistance. The body has not been recovered. Mr. West, whose sad death is

much regretted, leaves a widow and nine of a famly.

Photo with caption: Otto Hornlein, who ran an auto and sign painting business on Old Gilroy Street during WWI, was

handed the job of sprucing up the city's old steam engine in March 1917. At left with Shirley Johnson, first paid driver of the

fire department, he is pictured with the results of his labor. Said the Advocate at the time, "Otto is justly proud of his

handwork on the old steam engine; under his magic touch it looks spic and span as a new engine." The editor also

commented that he would have liked to see the city trade the engine in on a new steam motor which would give Gilroy

apparatus "second to no town in the state." In 1916 the city purchased for $5, 000 an American La France engine which was

kept at Tice's garage until the firehouse was completed during the summer of 1916. Prior to the hiring of Johnson, only Chief

Babb, Bruce Scholfield, John Leon or Joe Maniero was permitted to drive the new engine. He died on May 2, 1947 in Los
