 The Flying Squadron - World Cruise 1869-70 - Visit to Lyttleton
At 17 Midshipman Duncan Gordon Boyes was the toast of the Navy after winning the Victoria Cross after carrying the Queens Colours through a hail of musket balls during action against Japan in 1864.
Sadly Boyes was soon to be court-martialled for breaking into a Naval Yard after having been refused entry for not having a pass.
The disgrace was more than he could bear and he began to suffer from fits of depression and took heavily to drink.

Then there was the inexplicably underrated Sussex singer Mike Nicholson, who has a gorgeous rich, dark voice and warm presence and an enviable repertoire of folksongs old and new performed extremely thoughtfully.
And local lad Duncan McFarlane, whose Bed Of Straw album made such a favourable impression on the nation's critics - a crack guitarist, idiomatic singer, and not least a writer of excellent songs mostly in a traditional idiom, Duncan's gaining quite a reputation on the festival circuit, so look out for him!
The album's four remaining tracks taken up by Gabriel Yared's orchestral score, pleasant but strikingly at odds with the rough hewn folk blues that precede it and which could well see a whole bandwagon of American Civil War musical spin-offs in the course of the coming year.
