SOLD SOLD (LAY-AWAY 23/03) **1949 YANGTSE INCIDENT & MOVIE CONNECTIONS**British Royal Navy Brass Gun Tampion / Tompion Of The HMS Amethyst Mounted On Wooden Plaque For Display. MISC 870 - MISC 870 HMS Amethyst was a modified Black Swan-class sloop of the Royal Navy. She was laid down by Alexander Stephen and Sons of Linthouse, Govan, Scotland on 25 March 1942, launched on 7 May 1943 and commissioned on 2 November 1943, with the pennant number U16. After seeing action in the Second World War she was modified and redesignated as a frigate, and renumbered F116. The Amethyst Incident, also known as the Yangtze Incident, was a historic event which involved the Royal Navy ships HMS Amethyst, HMS Consort, HMS London, and HMS Black Swan on the Yangtze River for three months during the Chinese Civil War in the summer of 1949. On 20 April 1949, Amethyst was on her way from Shanghai to Nanking (now Nanjing) when she was fired upon by the People's Liberation Army, known as the Amethyst Incident. Amethyst was trapped in China until 30 July 1949, when she escaped under cover of darkness. The iconic 1957 film Yangtse Incident: The Story of HMS Amethyst, starred Richard Todd as Lieutenant-Commander John Simon Kerans in which he Captain’s H.M.S. Amethyst through shot and shell from the Communist Chinese, and eventually wins home to freedom down the River Yangtze (an image of a period poster advertising the movie is reproduced in image 2). For the movie Amethyst was brought out of reserve to play herself & was scrapped shortly after the filming was finished (an original Newspaper photo of HMS Amethyst titled ‘The Battered Amethyst Returns’ at sea returning home after the incident is reproduced in image 1). A tampion or tompion (in the Royal Navy) is a plug, or a metal, canvas, rubber, or plastic cover, for the muzzle of a gun or mortar. Tampions can be found on both land-based artillery and naval guns. Naval tompions have developed into works of art (an original photo of Naval Mortars with tompions attached is reproduced in image 1). This is an original brass Naval gun tompion of HMS Amethyst mounted on a wooden plague. The brass tompion with wooden plaque measures 9 ½” x 7 ½”x 1 ½” and weighs 2.140 Kg.
