On her last voyage as a training vessel, Calchas steered a new course across the Gulf of Thailand. Midshipman George Berry was serving as Bosun’s Mate on that voyage, and he wrote an article for the Halfdeck about the role that the midshipmen played in taking soundings along the new track. It is available for download as a pdf here. The job of ‘Peggy’ was, arguably, one of the least attractive that apprentices had to perform during the period of their indentures. Brian Edmonds, who was a midshipman on Calchas for Voyages 24 and 25, has kindly produced an interesting article based upon his recollections of the role of the lowly ‘Peggy’, and it is available for download as a pdf here. When Lawrence Holt’s wife, Evelyn, launched the Calchas, the builders presented her with a memento of the occasion. Lawrence Holt’s grandson, William Champion, has very kindly provided an article about this, and it is available for download as a pdf here. Any anecdotes that you may have of Calchas would be most gratefully received. NOTE ON DOWNLOADING To download pdf's please click on the links above or use the download panel on the right.
