19100002026Very Good. 1910. On offer is a superb group of five 5 manuscript books encompassing the history of submarines and underwater naval warfare from 1901 through to 1971. The books were handwritten and compiled in cloth covered hard bound books by British submarine authority Leslie Honeywill who was a Chief Engine Room Artificer CERA or a plumber as he jokingly called himself on a number of submarines. These are not finished published books but bound manuscripts that contain corrections amendments highlighting for emphasis or when the type print was too light. Adding even further depth there are tucked and tipped in one of a kind access original photos postcards and news clippings all relating to Submarines. Very comprehensive Honeywill used a wide variety of sources over 100 referenced covering 70 years of naval history besides the breadth of his own hands on experience and personal knowledge.

19230002027Very Good. 1923. On offer is a super manuscript relic of one man's life spent in the Royal Navy serving in submarines for 22 years. Titled 'SHUT OFF FROM DIVING 1923-1945 The Ramblings of a Plumber' the book was written by British Warrant Engineer Leslie Honeywill who was a Chief Engine Room Artificer CERA or a plumber as he jokingly called himself on a number of submarines. Leslie writes in his intro: 'The material used in this story has been extracted from diaries written during the period covered. It is thus chronological and consequently rather disjointed in its presentation. It will have little interest except to submariners and probably not a lot for those who are or were. It contains no excitements but is an attempt to portray how one submariner enjoyed life met and overcame problems enjoyed the companionship of some wonderful friends - if the contents are mainly connected with the engine room department that of course was my particular concern but we were a team from the youngest seaman to the CO and no one could have wished for a more satisfying life.' The 463 page book on large typed paper is overall VG. We offer separately Honeywill's history of submarines - 0002026; book titled 'PERISCOPE PERSONALITIES 1901-1972' - 0002029 and another book titled 'SUBMARINE DEPOT SHIPS BASES & SUPPORT SHIPS' - 0002028.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF LESLIE HONEYWILL BRITISH ROYAL NAVY SUBMARINES ROYAL NAVY SUBMARINE SERVICE RNSS SUBMARINERS SEAMEN SAILORS NAUTICAL MARINE NAVAL COMBAT AT SEA C.E.R.A.

19720002028Very Good. 1972. On offer is an original 1972 manuscript book titled 'SUBMARINE DEPOT SHIPS BASES & SUPPORT SHIPS' written by British Warrant Engineer Leslie Honeywill who was a Chief Engine Room Artificer CERA or a plumber as he jokingly called himself on a number of submarines.

He became a leading authority on Submarine Navy subjects and after the war was consulted by High Ranking Navy officers. The preface which describes this book manuscript is as follows: "Among the many books written about submarines one often comes across a reference to submarine depot ships bases parent ships tenders and support ships. This compilation is an attempt to pay tribute to the crews of those vessels which have rendered such faithful service to respective generations of submariners. Since the construction of Holland I for the Royal Navy in 1901 about 50 major ships. etc; have been employed on submarine support duties; in addition there is a host of lesser units and shore establishments which have played a no less important part. Many of the 'older' supports have been perpetual at 'Dolphin' by having their names allotted to blocks of buildings there:- Hazard Rosario and Pandora spring to mind. The larger units have been arranged chronologically whilst the lesser but none the less essential ones have been arranged alphabetically in an Appendix. Naturally many important events have never been recorded but older submariners may derive some pleasure in filling in the gaps when 'reminiscing' on these faithful old 'Mums'.

17510Three of the letters 15-sides 1875-1881 are addressed to "Dr. Brushfield" Thomas Nadauld Brushfield 1828-1910 Alienist and antiquarian. The other 9 letters are addressed to another member of the Brushfield family. His letter of 27th September 1875 thanks him for sending a copy of the "Metropolitan with the portrait of your father.To me there is a somewhat coarse common and low look if I may so express myself re the portrait." and continues at length as to how a better portrait may be produced or even a parian bust - "I have just arranged . to do a bust of my dear old friend S.C.Hall whose name you will know" and continues that he is preparing a memoir of Brushfield's father for the next number of the 'Reliquary'His letter of 30th January 1876 to Dr. Brushfield expresses great alarm on reading of his narrow escape from "the attack made upon you". That of 28th September 1881 refers to a book on Gloucestershire his own 'Half Hours among English Antiquities' and sings the praises of Devonshire congratulating him upon his retirement to Budleigh SaltertonThe remaining 9 letters 45-sides 1865-1881 are perhaps to Brushfield's brother and concern heraldry various books family matters and that he is "grieved but not surprised at what you tell me regarding the Reverend delinquent. It is grievous to see a minister of religion so forget himself" and much else on the subject. unknown
