HMS Victory

You heard it first on this blog; Pirates have looted HMS Victory.

Yes, pirates have looted a British and International treasure, HMS Victory. Meaning? Read on for the grim truth…

HMS Victory 2005, ready for the 200 th Anniversary  

H M S Victory, then and now, both photographs taken by me, the second from the Brittany Ferry’s ‘Bretagne‘, as we sailed for France, late evening. The exterior appearance is indicative of the ship’s interior state and I have numerous photographs to prove my point.

‘Orrible History’

Wot? 

Never see Philomena Cunk before?

What a treasure she is and with this account of Drake’s ship that easily rivals any ‘Orrible History’ book. 

I’d like to shake her hand. 

There are a number of facts quoted that you will certainly not know and feel all the better for learning.

Thank you Hastings and Eastbourne Pyrates all, for this post on Facebook ! 
As for the beautiful Golden Hinde replica, if you’ve not visited her please do, she is trapped, ‘orribly wasting away, docked and up the creek, in great need of lively shipmates. 
You may recall, like Drake and most of his men, she was built in Devon?

Friends, new and not so new

A Titanic experience a couple of days ago, at port ‘Malt House’ in a heavily thatched Wiltshire village, invitation of a new client and royally entertained by Tim and Charlotte who I’m delighted to discover are also new friends. 

The Malt House & French car?

Finally got to bed at 05.00 having manfully played my part emptying a bottle of good port.    I’ve been set a very unusual challenge, a sort of time space continuum issue…
