# HMS Friendship (1795)

The British Royal Navy purchased two vessels in 1795, both named HMS Friendship. Both were lost in November 1801. The parallels in names and dates has resulted in the two vessels, and their fates, probably being conflated.
Friendship #1: Master A.Chapman commissioned Friendship in September 1796. In 1800 she was under the command of W.Cartwright.
The gun-boat Friendship #1 was coming into Plymouth to be paid off when she went on shore on Portland and was lost. Her crew was saved.
Friendship #2: Master J.Richardson commissioned Friendship in September 1796. She was a Thames sailing barge that the British Royal Navy used as a gun-vessel of two or three guns. The sailing barges had a crew of 19 men, generally under the command of a sailing master.
Two sources report that she was under the command of Lieutenant Peter Rigby when she was wrecked at near Saint-Malo on 9 November 1801. This vessel was probably Friendship #1.
The Naval Chronicle reported in the news for Plymouth of 24 November on the loss of Friendship #2. A gale on 2 November 1801 had driven Friendship, Lieutenant Ashley, out to sea from Guernsey Roads. When she hadn't been heard from for several weeks it was supposed that she had been lost and Ashley's family went into deep mourning. However, on 24 November letters reached Plymouth from HMS Bravo, Commodore Philippe d'Auvergne, at Jersey that Lieutenant Ashley and his crew had arrived at Jersey on 15 November. Friendship had gone ashore near Saint-Malo and when the tide went out, the crew had walked ashore. The local French Commandant marched them some two miles inland where they were held for ten days in a barn with plenty of straw for bedding. The French then conveyed them to Jersey in an open boat under a flag of truce; they were expected to return to Plymouth on the next vessel from Jersey.

# Walter Vivian

Walter Hussey Vivian (c. 1851 – 6 November 1928) was an Australian politician.

## Early life

Little is known of him outside of the period in which he was active in New South Wales politics and his parliamentary biography contains little detail. His death notice, inserted by five of his daughters, lists him as aged 77 at his death, which would mean he was born in 1850 or 1851. A biography published by the Australian Town and Country Journal in 1890 states he was born in 1852, a member of the Vivian family, educated in England and Belgium, arriving in Australia in 1873 via Fiji. On 10 August 1876, he married Eliza Alison and his marriage announcement stated that he was the fourth son of William Vivian Esq of 15 Bolton Gardens, London. In 1880, he was a squatter on the Bogan River, before returning to Sydney in 1885, becoming an estate agent.

## Parliamentary career

He was a regular Free Trade candidate for a seat in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, standing unsuccessfully for Wollombi in 1885 and 1886, The Tumut and Glen Innes in 1889. In February 1890, he was elected an alderman for the Municipal District of Manly. He won a seat in the Legislative Assembly at the 1890 Hastings and Manning by-election. He was involved in an unruly scene in parliament involving his brother-in-law William Alison, described by George Dibbs as a petty family strife. Each accused the other of having a pecuniary interest in relation to the Crown Rents Bill, due to William Alison senior owning the Canonbar station near Nyngan. His parliamentary service lasted just over one year as he was defeated at The Hastings and Manning by just 5 votes. He lodged a petition against the election, however that was dismissed as frivolous and vexatious. He stood for The Hastings and Macleay at the 1894 and 1895 elections but was defeated on both occasions.

## Colonial exhibitions

Vivian was one of the New South Wales commissioners to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886 in London, in charge of the wool exhibits, the New South Wales Executive Commissioner for the Tasmanian International Exhibition of 1891–2 in Launceston, and one of the New South Wales commissioners to the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago, on the committees for wool and silk, manufacturing and liberal arts, education and ethnology.

## Later life and death

By 1891, Vivian had become a stock and share broker.
Sometime in the early 1900s, Vivian left Australia for South Africa, and in 1903 announced the death of his fourth daughter, Edith, at Johannesburg. He also lived at Durban before his death at Pinetown, Natal Province on 6 November 1928 (aged 77).
# Walter Vogt

Walter Vogt was a German embryologist. He lived from 1888 to 1941. He was the first scientist to use vital dye to do fate mapping. In 1929, he used vital dyes to construct fate maps of amphibian embryos.
# HD 49674 b

HD 49674 b, formally named Eburonia, is an extrasolar planet located approximately 134 light-years away in the constellation of Auriga, orbiting the star HD 49674. This planet was discovered orbiting the star in 2002. The planet is a gas giant and orbits extremely close to its star, which takes only 4.95 days to revolve.
HD 49674 b, along with its parent star, was chosen as part of the 2019 NameExoWorlds campaign organised by the International Astronomical Union in which each country was assigned a star and planet to be named. The HD 49674 system was assigned to Belgium. The winning proposal named HD 49674 b Eburonia and the parent star Nervia, both after prominent Belgic tribes, the Eburones and Nervii respectively.
# Walter Murray Wonham

Walter Murray Wonham FRSC (1934 – May 14, 2023) was a Canadian control theorist and professor at the University of Toronto. He focused on multi-variable geometric control theory, stochastic control and stochastic filters, and the control of discrete event systems from the standpoint of mathematical logic and formal languages.

## Education

Wonham attended a boys' school and preferred individual to team sports, taking up sailing and tennis. He obtained his bachelor's degree in engineering physics from McGill University in 1956 and a doctorate in stochastic control from the University of Cambridge in 1961.

## Career

In the 1960s, he worked at Purdue University's Control and Information Systems Laboratory, Martin Marietta's Research Institute for Advanced Studies (RIAS) in Baltimore, Brown University's Department of Applied Mathematics, and in the Office for Control Theory and Applications of NASA's Electronics for Research Center, where he developed a geometric theory of multivariable control with A. Stephen Morse. In 1968, Wonham proved a separation theorem for controls in a more general cost functional class with many technical assumptions and restrictions.
Wonham returned to Canada in 1970, after fifteen years away, and joined the University of Toronto as an associate professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. Being with the university's Control Theory Group as a full professor since 1972, he served as Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Toronto between 1992 and 1996. He was made university professor in 1996 and appointed University Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in 2000.
Wonham and his student Bruce Francis first articulated the internal model principle in 1976, which is a good regulator restricted to the ordinary differential equations subset of control theory. As an explicit formulation of the Conant and Ashby good regulator theorem, it stands in contrast to classical control where the classical feedback loop fails to explicitly model the controlled system (although the classical controller may contain an implicit model). In 1987, Wonham and Peter Ramadge introduced supervisory control theory as a method for automatically synthesizing supervisors that restrict the behavior of a plant such that as much as possible of the given specifications are fulfilled.
Wonham authored and co-authored about seventy-five research papers, as well as the book Linear Multivariable Control: A Geometric Approach. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He was an Honorary Professor of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a Foreign Member of the (U.S.) National Academy of Engineering.

## Death

Wonham died on May 14, 2023, at the age of 88.

# HMAS Uralba

HMAS Uralba was an auxiliary minefield tender and armament stores carrier operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during World War II. She was launched in 1942 by Ernest Wright, Tuncurry, New South Wales as Uralba (presumably named after the North Coast of NSW locality) for the North Coast Steam Navigation Company. Requisitioned by the RAN while under construction on 13 July 1942 and commissioned on 22 November 1942. After being returned to her owners and being sold and used for a number of purposes she was sunk on 4 November 1971 to create an artificial reef off Carrum Creek, in Port Phillip Bay.

## Career

Her engines came from the Sydney Ferries Limited steamer, Kuramia, made redundant by the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
While she was under construction in 1942 for the North Coast Steam Navigation Company, she was requisitioned by the RAN. She was based in Brisbane as a minefield tender for a couple of years before moving to Milne Bay, New Guinea as a stores and armaments carrier. Uralba was paid off in August 1945 and returned to her owners.
For the next few years she transported timber between Melbourne and Tasmania. Uralba was sold in 1948 to the State Electricity Commission of Victoria carrying construction materials across Bass Strait for the Latrobe Valley power stations. On her return voyages she carried cars and general cargo to Tasmania.
Sold in September 1953 to the A & A Steamship Trading Syndicate of NSW and was subject to High Court of Australia seizure in 1958. Later sold to Benny Gelbart of Footscray, she sank at her moorings in the Maribyrnong River on 4 May 1960. Refloated and fixed she was sold to Duncan and Russell of Melbourne in 1964, had her engines removed and was converted into a dumb lighter.
The Victorian Fisheries and Wildlife Department sank Uralba as an artificial reef eight kilometres off Carrum Creek in Port Phillip Bay on 4 November 1971.

# HMS Justitia

Four ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Justitia, after the goddess Justitia, of Roman mythology:
* HMS Justitia (1777) was a prison ship, formerly a merchant vessel, purchased in 1777 and in service until at least 1795.
* HMS Justitia (1807) was a 74-gun third rate captured from the Danish at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1807 and broken up in 1814.
* HMS Justitia was a 64-gun third rate, formerly a Dutch ship. She was seized in 1796 and named HMS Zealand, renamed HMS Justitia in 1812 and was sold in 1830.
* HMS Justitia (1830) was a convict ship, launched in 1799 as the British East India Company East Indiaman Admiral Rainier. The Royal Navy acquired her 1804 and commissioned her as the 50-gun fourth rate HMS Hindostan. She was reduced to 20 guns and renamed HMS Dolphin in 1819, and then HMS Justitia in 1830. She retained that name until her sale in 1855.

# Wallace Chan

Wallace Chan (Chinese: 陈世英; pinyin: Chén Shìyīng) is a Hong Kong–based jewellery artist and sculptor. He is known for creating intricate designs within carved gemstones. He is the mastermind behind the creation of what has been called the world’s most expensive diamond necklace. Chan is also known as an innovator. He invented the Wallace Cut, an illusionary carving technique, in 1987; a jade cutting and polishing technique in 2002, and The Wallace Chan Porcelain, a porcelain five times stronger than steel, in 2018, after seven years of research. His first porcelain creation, A New Generation (Ring), is in the permanent collection of The British Museum. He is the first contemporary Chinese jewellery artist to be part of the museum's collection.

## Early life

Chan was born in Fuzhou, China, in 1956 and moved to Hong Kong at the age of 5. He left school after only two years of education, when he was 13, in order to support his family. Chan became an apprentice sculptor in 1973, when he was 16 years old. But by 1974 he had moved on to set up his own carving workshop. He was a sculptor, carver and painter for decades before he began creating jewellery, wearable sculpture art, in 2001, after a six-month zen journey as a monk.

## Career

Chan got his first break while working in Macau when Yih Shun Lin, a Taiwanese art collector, commissioned him to create a stupa for the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center in Kaohsiung. He was the first contemporary jeweller to hold a solo exhibition at the Capital Museum in Beijing and the first Asian jeweller to exhibit work at the Biennale de Paris. One of his noted pieces, the Now and Always pendant, features a distinctive facial image inspired by the many-faced goddesses of Horae within an aquamarine gemstone. His necklace Great Wall, made of diamond and jadeite, sold for $73.5 million in 2012.

## Wallace Cut

In 1987, he devised a method of carving designs within a gemstone. The technique uses cameos and intaglios to create a lifelike image. That image is then reflected within the gem to create a three-dimensional effect. A modified dentist's drill is used to make small detailed changes on the stone. Most of the designs are made under water to dissipate the heat generated by the high powered drill, to prevent damage to the material.
# Wallace Carnegie Library

The Wallace Carnegie Library, in Wallace, Idaho, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
It is located at 415 River St. in what is now City Park?
It is a one-story brick Carnegie library built upon a high basement in English Renaissance Revival style. Its entrance is through a portico with Ionic columns at the top of a flight of concrete steps.

# Walter Plumer

Walter Plumer (c. 1682–1746), of Cavendish Square and Chediston Hall, Suffolk, was a British Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1719 and 1741.

## Early life

Plumer was the eldest surviving son of John Plumer, a wealthy London merchant of Blakesware, Hertfordshire, and his wife Mary Hale, daughter of William Hale of King's Walden, Hertfordshire. He had brothers Richard and William Plumer who were also in Parliament. He was educated at Eton College in 1698 and was admitted at Peterhouse, Cambridge on 26 April 1699, aged 16. In 1702, he was admitted at Gray's Inn. He married Elizabeth Hanbury, daughter of Thomas Hanbury of Kelmarsh, Northamptonshire. He succeeded to his father's estates in Berkshire, Essex and Middlesex in 1719. In 1722 he acquired the estate of Chediston Hall in Suffolk.

## Career

Plumer was elected with government support as Member of Parliament for Aldeburgh on 3 December 1719, after spending money liberally against the opposing interest of Lord Strafford. Soon after taking his seat he spoke in support of the Peerage Bill, and continued to support the Government for the rest of that Parliament. He was returned unopposed at the 1722 general election but subsequently spoke against the Government on the army estimates. In 1725 he was appointed to a committee drawing up the articles for the impeachment of Lord Macclesfield, and became one of the managers of the case.
Plumer lost the government interest for Aldeburgh and did not stand at the 1727 general election. Sackville Tufton, 7th Earl of Thanet brought him in as MP for Appleby at a by-election on 24 January 1730. He became one of the leading spokesmen of the opposition Whigs, and was actively engaged in securing the repeal of the salt duty in 1730 and in opposing its re-imposition in 1732. He was one of the more moderate members of his party and rather than insisting on the formal rejection of the excise bill, he felt their end had been met by the dropping of the bill, and thought Walpole had incurred mortification enough. In the ballot for a committee on frauds in the customs, he obtained more votes than any other opposition Member. He was returned again for Appleby at the 1734 general election. He supported the nonconformists and moved for the repeal of the Test Act in 1736 and made his last recorded speech on the subject in 1739. He retired from Parliament at the 1741 general election.

## Death and legacy

Plumer died without issue on 2 March 1746 and was buried at Eastwick, Hertfordshire. His estates passed to his brother William.
