  • This is the diary of David John Davies, an engineer on the HMS Tara which was torpedoed by the Germans in the Mediterranean on 5 November 1915. The HMS Tara, a former passenger steamer, had been requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1914 and was sent to the Mediterranean in 1915. Following the torpedo attack, the surviving crew members were taken to Port Sulieman and handed over to the Turkish authorities. The crew members, the majority of whom hailed from Anglesey, found themselves held captive by a group of Senussi soldiers commanded by the Turkish officer, Nouri Pasha. On 17 March 1916, 135 days after they were captured, the prisoners were finally rescued by members of the British Forces. In the first entry in his diary, dated 5 November 1915, David John Davies describes the torpedo attack on the ship HMS Tara. He explains that the HMS Tara, an auxiliary patrol boat, was formerly known as SS Hibernia of the L&NW [London & North Western] Railway, and carried passengers between Holyhead and Dublin. The ship was travelling towards Sollum, an Egyptian port on the border between Egypt and Libya, when it was hit by a torpedo on the starboard side. The ship sank almost immediately but three lifeboats managed to get clear of the ship: 93 of the 104 crew members were landed by the German submarine U35 at Port Sulieman, some 20 miles west of Sollum. The crew in the engine room and three men who were in their cabins near the engine room were killed in the attack.

  • This is a photograph of one of the women workers, known locally as 'copar ledis', who worked at the Amlwch copper mines on the island of Anglesey. The women were employed to clean and break up the copper ore. The 'copar ledis' wore a thick glove on their left hand with iron rings around the fingers in order to handle the ore. A popular song which was sung during the nineteenth century gave the following description of the Anglesey 'copar ledis': 'Maent oll yn ferched medrus A hwylus hefo'u gwaith A'u henwau geir yn barchus Gan fwynwyr o bob iaith; Hwy weithient oll yn galed Am gyflog bychan iawn O'r braidd cant drigain ceiniog Am weithio wythnos lawn.' Translation: ('They are skilful women and able at their work; and miners of all nationalities regard them with respect. They work hard for a very small wage, hardly earning fourteen shillings a week'). Source: John Rowlands, Copper Mountain (Llangefni, 1966).

  • This letter to W. H. Owen, dated 19 November 1860, was sent by Captain Robert Hughes, master of the 'Caroline' from Rangoon. Hughes informs W. H. Owen that he arrived off the Rangoon lightship on 16 November after a journey of 140 days. He regrets to inform his employer that the ship was involved in an accident. The ship had been left in the charge of George Wailes, a licensed pilot, but during the journey up the river the ship ran aground and remained on the bank for two hours.

  • In this letter to W. H. Owen, sent from Rangoon in November 1860, Captain Robert Hughes provides further information about the problems facing the ship 'Caroline'. He explains that after proceeding up the river some four miles from the town, he received orders to proceed to Maulmain and discharge all his cargo. He was unable to obey these orders as the ship was in danger of sinking. The following morning, there were seven feet of water in the hold and Hughes requested the merchants to take his cargo according to the charter party agreement but they refused.
