Able Cat Emily is a crewmember on the Old Barky Sarky and appears in many AB&OS cartoons strips – usually taking about as much notice of what is going on as she is here – if that much (much as she carries on in real life in Galf’s home).

The Brodie Stove was introduced in the 1780s and was always extinguished during action. On a 74 gun ship, such as HMS Sardonique, it would be used to prepare meals for a crew of about 620, in a single sitting for roughly 80% of them.
