Footnotes

The iron schooner Westward was designed and built by the Herreshoff yard at Bristol Rhode Island in 1910. Sold to the Hamburg sailing Club in 1911 and renamed Hamburg ll she was seized in UK waters when the First World War broke out in 1914. Restored to her previous name, she was purchased by Jersey ex-seaman and millionaire TB Davis in 1923 and took part in all of the big yacht regattas, racing against Britannia, Lulworth and others. The Jubilee year of 1935 marked the swansong for Westward and the other big class yachts; in the Royal Yacht Squadron regatta on August 5th she beat all the fleet, including some of the newer "J" Class. But following the death of his friend King George V in 1936, Davis fitted Westward with an auxiliary motor and confined his sailing to cruising. Laid up at Dartmouth during the Second World War, no buyer could be found for her following Davis' death in 1942 and she was subsequently scuttled in the Hurd Deep off his native Jersey.
