NB: A detailed 12 page description of this archive is available upon request. original archive contained in seventy-three large albums and binders presented in both typescript and manuscript form, including filed correspondence from a number of colleagues: J.J. Colledge, Lt Cdr P. Kemp, G.A. Osbon, J. Lenton, Cdr R.H. Mandley, D. Trimmingham, W.P. Trotter, and other specialists. A 12 page description is available on request. Although Parkes reputation is based on his work British Battleships he assembled a great deal of reference material outside the period 1860-1950. Indeed, it would appear that he was contemplating the publication of a List of Ships of the Royal Navy 1820-1860, thus pre-dating the above work. Whilst the albums provide coverage of the ships of the Royal Navy for the period 1500-1958, they effectively concentrate on the years 1800-1945. Details of vessels are given usually by class or type, with name, tonnage, horse power, speed, length, beam, draught, hull, armament, etc. In addition, where required there is coverage of radar, searchlights, machinery and boilers, speed, fuel and radius, loss or disposal, general comments, along with very detailed notes. Finally, there are a number of albums created by colleagues of Dr Parkes, including an unpublished history of HMS Vanguard by W.P. Trotter (2 vols), manuscript notes by Guy Hall, and a series of unpublished studies by Cdr R.H. Mandley. Dr Parkes was a worthy successor to Fred Jane and his British Battleships still stands the test of time and is a monument to his skill as an historian and writer. AJS: Dr Oscar Parkes MD. (1885-1958), medical practitioner, marine artist, pianist, yachtsman, photograph collector, and author. During the First World War he served in the Royal Navy as a temporary surgeon lieutenant and in 1918 was attached to the Naval Intelligence Division in the Admiralty, serving under Ad Sir Reginald Hall, as a naval artist and director of the photographic section of the Imperial War Museum. From his boyhood he had been fascinated by warships, particularly their design and appearance, and over time amassed a vast knowledge of the warships of all nations. He first met Fred Jane, the editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, in 1900 at the age of 15 and kept up regular contact with him, exchanging technical information and drawings. Fred Jane died in 1916 and in 1918 Parkes was invited to become joint editor with M. Prendergast of Jane's Fighting Ships (1919-21), then sole editor (1922-23), joint editor again with F. McMurtrie (1924-29), and finally sole editor (1930-34). Parkes brought all his great energy and enthusiasm to the editing and production of Jane's Fighting Ships. Indeed, in the large edition of 1919 he introduced the publishers to page-long blocks illustrating the Renown and the Furious, the forerunners of many other fine large pictures. In 1957 he published British Battleships 1860-1950 "Warrior" 1860 to "Vanguard" 1950 A History of Design, Construction and Armament, a magnificently detailed and authoritative account of every British battleship from the Warrior of 1860 to the Vanguard of 100 years later. He also wrote and illustrated many articles on a variety of naval subjects. NB: This archive requires careful packing, please ask for a quotation for shipping to your address.
