BRIAN CAMERON GOURLEY
1903 - 1906 PAIR 2 OF HANDWRITTEN EXCEPTIONALLY DETAILED JOURNAL AND LOG BOOKS DETAILING THE EXCITING LIFE AND WORK OF A YOUNG ROYAL NAVY OFFICER AND SHOWCASING HIS ABILITY TO DRAW INTRICATE DIAGRAMS MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
ABOARD HMS JUPITER CAESAR DUNCAN ATLANTIC FLEET. Good. 1903. On offer are two extraordinary pieces of Naval history and life in the British Royal Navy in the early 20th Century. Two intricately detailed and graphic log books books from a midshipman who served on the HMS Jupiter Caesar and Duncan. Across the two large hardcover books the midshipman Brian Cameron Gourley records information both technical technical nautical observations as well as various remarks each day. These two books represent a comprehensive and thoroughly fascinating look at the life of a British midshipman at the turn of the century as well as including drawings diagrams and maps drawn in an expert hand that give the reader a more complete understanding of the technical aspects of working on a battleship at the turn of the 20th century. LOG BOOK #1 records events and information across three ships: the H.M.S. Jupiter from September 15 1903 to December 8 1904 around 160 pages of entries the H.M.S. Caesar February 6 1905 to March 6 1905 around 10 pages and the H.M.S. Duncan from March 7 1905 to May 14 1905 around 18 pages. On the Jupiter the ships calls in at a number of ports starting in Scarborough in North Yorkshire St. Andrews Portland sailing to Gibraltar Catalan Bay Lisbon Palma Majorca and back to Scotland with many more ports in between. At Sea the crew does Battle Practices lands field guns and troops for drills exercised Man and Arms boats and does boat firing exercises and drills. There are also Inspections once from Rear Admiral Lambton refittings Training classes a Court Martial on board Joining up with Mediterranean fleet saving a Man who falls overboard plus lots about daily navy duties & maintenance aboard the ship. Each day contains the work done and a what time for the day. For example: On Wednesday November 25th 1903: 5:45 Hands cleaning ship. 8:15 Landed companies & marines. 9:00 Prayers. 1:00 Landing Party returned. 4:00 Evening Quarters. The next day: 8:30 Lieut. Saurin discharged to Aurora for passage to England. 8:45 Landed Marine markers. 9:10. Divisions & Prayers. 4:00 Evening Quarters.; Saturday December 5th: 8:51 Stopped. 8:54 Came to with Port Bower. 12:29. Weighed - Proceeded at Full Speed. 1:26. Stopped Made fast to No. 1 Buoy. 4:00 Watch getting up Ammunition. The book also has many many illustrations and lists done exceptionally well by Gourley himself. These really are extraordinary to behold both in their detail and the expertise with which they are drawn. In lists there is a List of Allowance for one man for one day; List of Ships of Combined Mediterranean and Channel Battle Fleets and Cruiser Squadron present at Palma Majorca May 22 1904; List of Combined Squadrons of Battleships and Cruisers present at Mount's Bay July 30 1904; There are also numerous maps such a map showing track chart of Channel Fleet 1903 a map of Gibraltar Bay a number of fold-out maps of England France Spain Portugal to Gibraltar tracking round trip. The drawings include two drawings of the showing damage in the Accident to H.M.S. Prince George a universal joint for steering connections the Arrangements for Towing and being towed a drawing of 24 inch Projector the section through screw propelle a drawing of Six Cell Test Battery and many many more. In the H.M.S. Caesar February 6 1905 to March 6 1905 the ship travels to Portsmouth Plymouth Vigo Spain Lagos Portugal Gibraltar Spithead and back to Portsmouth. The format is the same as when on the Jupiter. Nautical information Wind direction and speed weather the barometric pressure temperature and where the ship is located is recorded and then short remarks of work done and observations. There are also a few illustrations notably a map & Description of Battle Exercise Feb 15 1905. The object of this P.Z. was to discover the advantage a fast small fleet has over a larger but slower squadron. To effect this the Atlantic Fleet was given 6 miles start and at 10 a.m. we were steaming 15 knots towards Burlings on a SE Co. being in the line abreast. Then Gourley is on the H.M.S. Duncan From March 7 1905 to May 14 1905 where he calls in at the ports of Portsmouth Lamlash Berehaven Portland Dover and Yarmouth. The same format as the last two parts. Gourley writes of target practice Torpedo Drills a funeral party a preliminary gun layer's competition firing 6 rounds of lyddite high explosive from 6 inch guns at "Bills Rocks" mining torpedo training classes plus lots about daily navy duties & maintenance aboard the H.M.S. Duncan. Illustrations by Gourley include a drawing of Towing arrangements for HMS Duncan along with a full page and detailed description. The book is a large hardcover with marbled boards marbled end pages with Gold Gilt Title lettering in very good condition with around 188 pages with around 15 hand-coloured & black and white charts and technical diagrams illustrations and 7 maps as well as the detailed day-to-day diary entries of events on board. The Size is 12 3/4 inches by 8 3/4 inches. LOG BOOK #2 is from the period of May 15th 1905 to November 15 1906 and covers Gourleys time on the ships H.M.S. Duncan & H.M.S. Caesar. It is in a slightly different format than the preceding book. Instead of the nautical information Wind weather temperature Port of call etc. and the remarks being next to each other this book contains two pages in the beginning of a month for these observations as well as a single line for Remarks. The pages that follow are where Gourley writes his day to day observations and work. They tend to be longer and more detailed than the remarks in the previous book. For example: Wednesday July 3rd. Exercised General Drill. Clear ship for Aelion. Out nets & replaced gear. Then at Sheet anchor being second ship in this evolution. We did comparatively well in the drill today. Comdr. Woolcombe left ship on promotion. All boats away sailing in the afternoon there being quite a fair breeze. Boom defences were placed across all the entrances all night several picket-boats being outside to warn off merchant steamers.; Sunday July 9. 8:10 Hannibal left for Portsmouth to pay off. Landed usual Church Parties. 10:30 Held Divine Service after Quarters rose Anchor gear & Prepared for Sea. 7:10 Lieut. Hamilton Gordon joined ship.; Tuesday July 13. 7:00 Anchored. 7:30 Weighed & proceeded out of harbor for annual gun layer's competitions. When we got to targets we hoisted out both picket-boats & the sailing pinnacle and lowered line cutters all for repairing purposes. The sail of the target was changed each run which caused less delay than patching when the sail is hoisted. At 10:00 the Inspector of ___ Rear Admiral Scott Came on board. 10:30 Commenced the competition. The 6 guns got off 6 7 or 8 shots each. Gourley is on board the H.M.S. Duncan from May 15 1905 to November 30 1905 around 75 pages and then on board the H.M.S. Caesar December 5 1905 to November 15 1906 around 115 pages. There are more illustrations in this book as well. Including drawings of ships top and side views a drawing of 3 PDR Steel Shell Torpedo Firing Valves and Leads for 18 inch Broadside Submerged Tube and many more. There are maps of Spain Bantry Bay Lundy Island the Cruises HMS Ships Jupiter Duncan Caesar on the Coastline of Europe & Northern Africa and more. This logbook is a large hardcover with marbled boards marbled end pages with GoldGilt Title lettering in very good condition with around 190 pages with around 13 hand-coloured & black and white charts and technical diagrams illustrations and maps. Size is 12 3/4 inches by 8 1/2 inches. Background: Brian Cameron Gourley born: 21 October 1887 died: unknown was an officer in the Royal Navy.
