Charles Miller Auction
Charles Miller's spring auction is coming up next Wednesday and, as usual, there are some real gems including this...
This is a page from a sketch book kept by Pownoll Fleetwood Pellew while he was a cadet at the Naval College at Portsmouth, in 1836. Pownoll Fleetwood Pellew was the third son of Pownoll Pellew by his second wife, Georgina Janet Dick, and the grandson of your favourite admiral and mine, Sir Edward Pellew.
There are some more pictures from Pownoll's sketch book below the cut along with some other highly covetable lots.
Cadet Pownoll Fleetwood Pellew's sketchbook
Cadet Pownoll Fleetwood Pellew's sketchbook
Private journal of Frederick Hodge kept between 1882 - 1883
A French marine album, written in French and mostly containing short naval stories illustrated with sketches and watercolours, the final section entitled English Remembrances.
Rare 15 star American naval Jack from the War of 1812, with a portrait of Lieutenant Thomas Brown. Brown served as a midshipman aboard the Philadelphia with Stephen Decatur and distinguished himself with Decatur when they burnt their ship rather than lose it to enemy action. When Decatur was killed in 1804, Brown acted Second in Command of the squadron.
Estimate: £18000-£25000 (!)
