- na. 500 Years of the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond 1514 – 2014. Text by Neil Jones. 2014. Corporation of Trinity House. 56p. Soft wraps. Incorporated by Henry VIII on 20 May 1514, the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond has a long and storied history in service of the mariner. On 20 May 2014, was the 500th anniversary of the Corporation of Trinity House. 500 years ago from that date Henry VIII awarded a Royal Charter that established the organisation and set in train five centuries of Serving the Mariner. “Over that time they have seen and influenced advances in technology and legislation which has impacted on the way they operate but their remit has always been, and remains to this day, to serve the mariner regardless of whether the mariner is working, training or retired. They are perhaps best known for being the General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales and the Channel Islands, providing over 600 aids to navigation and auditing a further 10,000 to allow mariners to safely navigate some of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. But they are also the UK’s largest self-funded maritime charity, generating an income which allows them to distribute upwards of £3m per annum to maritime charities. Through this charity they provide almshouses for former Mariners and their dependants, and support those wishing to embark on a career at sea through their cadet schemes.” Wonderfully illustrated and an interesting account.
