  5. Michael (Knighttyme) staged a mini Trafalgar encounter. I and Peter (Twosheets/Teaticket) commanded the lee column for the Crown. It was a close run thing -- but the English were declared victors at the end of the day!

  8. The sloop Clearwater is a restored river cargo ship that typically sailed the Hudson River in the 18th and 19th centuries. Folk singer Pete Seeger founded and restored the Clearwater as an environmental classroom that still sails the Hudson from New York City to Albany from April to October. It sails past my house often every summer and berths for awhile just across the river from me. Historically these ships sailed supplies from NYC to upstate New York -- eventually loaded on barges on the Erie Canal to be shipped to western New York State. You can still book rides on the Clearwater today. I've also enclosed photos from the restoration of the ship. Also enclosed is a picture of a sister ship the schooner Mystic Whaler which sails with the Clearwater in the summers.

  11. Revisiting an AAR posted by Aaron, I recreated this fight using my ships. It was an overwhelming victory for the British after a spotty beginning by them.

  15. Hendrick Hudson sailed the Atlantic in 1609 in the Half Moon with a crew of 10. He was looking for a trade route to India. In October of 1609 he sailed into what would become New York harbor and up what would later be named the Hudson River. He sailed almost as far as present day Albany before turning around and heading back. A replica of the Half Moon Sails the Hudson in the summer as a floating historical classroom for schools and interested citizens. It passes my place about twice per summer.

  17. Wentowrth was the male protagonist and love interest in Jane Austen's "Persuasion" -- one of the great novels of the English body of literature. The time period of the novel is the Napoleonic Wars. In the novel, the RN officers are described as the best men England had produced. Austen's brother was an RN officer during that period.

  18. I had a hair-raising cruise on this ship -- but not as awful as its final cruise twenty years later, when it sank with all hands in hurricane Mitch off Honduras.
