A rare flag flown from a polar sledge used to hunt for survivors of Captain Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition has been saved for the nation thanks to a campaign backed by Michael Palin and Dan Snow. The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) launched a last-ditch campaign to raise the £120,000 needed to stop the Kellet sledge flag from passing into the hands of an overseas private collector. It succeeded thanks to £98,170 from the [https://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/search/?q=National%20Lottery National Lottery] Heritage Fund and £40,000 from the Art Fund, with match-funding from the NMRN enabling the museum to buy the flag and put it on display at its sites in Hartlepool, Portsmouth and Belfast. Arts and Heritage Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay had placed a temporary export bar on the flag in September 2022.

A NMRN spokeswoman said: "Mystery surrounding the fate of the Franklin expedition and the 129 crew ignited public debate and intrigue for decades until the discovery of his two ships, HMS Erebus in 2014 and HMS Terror in 2016. "Franklin's [https://sportsrants.com/?s=failed%20expedition failed expedition] takes on a symbolic place within Arctic exploration, especially within the [https://www.purevolume.com/?s=British%20Isles British Isles] and Canada, [https://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=leading leading] to the successful mapping of the Canadian archipelago and northern mainland coastline." Professor Dominic Tweddle, NMRN director general, said: "Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett's sledge flag and [https://realitysandwich.com/_search/?search=Franklin%27s%20expedition Franklin's expedition] represent courage and fortitude in the face of adversity - core elements of our national identity that echo through our history. "They also reflect the British and global obsession with finding and navigating the Northwest Passage, as well as the Royal Navy's role in expedition and exploration from Captain Cook to Darwin and HMS Beagle, to HMS Challenger in 1872, and continuing today with HMS Protector - the ice patrol ship in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere."

(Andrew Matthews, PA) He added: "The National Museum is proud to have stepped forward to save the Kellett flag from being exported overseas and to continue our work linking navy to nation." Measuring 595 by 885mm within a frame of 710 by 995mm, [https://outsidepublicidad.com/?toko=planet88 penipu] the flag is in a fragile condition and is being assessed by the museum's conservation team for recommended treatment. NMRN conservator Rachel Trembath said: "The flag will be sent to a specialist textile conservator, who will remove the metal pins securing it to the backboard. It will need to be stabilised and issues particularly around the fragile right-hand edge will be addressed. "The decision to clean the flag will have to balance the long-term preservation needs with the historical significance of the staining and ingrained dirt. The flag will undergo testing for light sensitivity so we can display it safely." The flag was made from silk in a rich green colour with an Irish harp embroidered in golden thread to reflect Kellett's Irish heritage.

(Andrew Matthews, PA) The museum spokeswoman said: "The green colour has faded over time due to exposure to light, but the flag remains in fairly good condition with a small crudely sewn repair that was likely done by a member of the search party whilst on the ice. "The maker is unknown but the motto Auxilium Ab Alto translates to Help From Above." Lord Parkinson said: "I am delighted that this flag - an important link with our past, and a symbol of courage and curiosity - has been saved for the nation." "The export bar system and a tireless fundraising campaign spearheaded by The National Museum of the Royal Navy means this inspiring item will now be on public display for generations to come."

Blinken Looks To Travel To China For Talks In Coming Weeks -US...

By Trevor Hunnicutt and Michael Martina WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. [https://www.buzznet.com/?s=Secretary Secretary] of State [https://www.cbsnews.com/search/?q=Antony%20Blinken Antony Blinken] will travel to China for talks in the coming weeks, an official said on Tuesday, months after Washington's top diplomat scrapped a planned trip over a suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. The visit is intended by Washington to be a major step toward what President Joe Biden has called a "thaw" in relations between the world's two largest economies. [https://www.buzznet.com/?s=Blinken%20postponed Blinken postponed] a visit to Beijing in February after the balloon, which Beijing denies was a government spy vessel, flew through U.S. airspace and over [https://www.search.com/web?q=sensitive%20military sensitive military] sites, eventually being shot down by the U.S. military and creating a diplomatic crisis. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not elaborate on timing. The State Department did not confirm any updated plans for Blinken's trip. "We have no travel for the Secretary to announce; as we've said previously the visit to the People's Republic of China will be rescheduled when conditions allow," deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said. China's Washington embassy did not respond to a request for [https://man1karanganyar.sch.id/wp-content/page/?landing=PLANET88 penipu] comment. Separately, and without mentioning Blinken's trip, U.S. Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell told an event at the Hudson Institute that exchanges with Beijing were improving. "The lines of communications are opening up and we are able to lay out more constructively our areas of interest and concern," although the U.S. had been unsuccessful in getting China to agree to effective crisis mechanisms, Campbell said. He said episodes like what he called "dangerous" navigation by a Chinese destroyer in the Taiwan Strait on Saturday, showed the need for these "to prevent circumstances where unintended consequences can have terrible consequences." A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday that the measures taken by the Chinese military were "reasonable, legitimate, and professional and safe." "China is increasingly a great power. Her (military) forces rub up against ours much more than they did in the past. The potential for miscalculation, inadvertence, is real and growing," Campbell said. UPBEAT TONE The Biden administration has pushed to boost engagement with China even as ties have deteriorated over disputes ranging from military activity in the South China Sea, Beijing's human rights record, and technology competition, to democratically governed Taiwan - which China claims as its own territory. But critics have questioned U.S. overtures to China, arguing that decades of engagement have failed to change Beijing's behavior. The State Department's top official for East Asia, Daniel Kritenbrink, was in Beijing this week for talks with Chinese counterparts, a visit seen as a step toward a possible Blinken trip. The two sides struck an upbeat tone. Asked by reporters in Beijing if Blinken would visit soon, [https://www.google.com/search?q=Kritenbrink Kritenbrink] said: "we'll see." The United States was "working hard" to manage the relationship with China, he said. Kritenbrink's arrival on June 4 coincided with the 34th anniversary of the 1989 crackdown by Chinese troops on demonstrators in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square that rights groups say killed hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters. The Biden administration dismissed any significance behind the arrival date, but some Republican lawmakers and Tiananmen [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/search?source=nav-desktop&q=survivors%20criticized survivors criticized] the timing, arguing U.S. eagerness to hold talks with Chinese officials was watering down U.S. positions. Reuters reported in May that the State Department delayed human rights-related sanctions, [https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/export%20controls export controls] and other sensitive action to try to limit damage to the U.S.-China relationship after the balloon incursion.
