Rob.
Can't find anything on Destroyers so I guess that brings us full circle, and back to ......
Rob.
I finally found one.
Good man.
Rob.
I do not think any of these were in the Battle of Jutland but the Germans used plenty of these in both world wars.
They certainly used them in the lead up Dave.
Rob.
Can't find anything else Jutland related so back to our period with a.....
Bligh.
Then all we need are a few of these.

Of course the cannonballs will be needing a.........

Bligh.
Then you will need lots of this, Rob.
You will need one of these whilst loading.
How about a bit of this to spice things up a bit.
Bligh.
That would dismast your opponent and then when you got in close you could sweep his decks with grape.
Or even canister.
Bligh.
Fired from a..........

That is fine for close range blasting, but not fora Longshot.
For that sort of shooting I only have
per side, so I will need more
Bligh.
However they are still muzzle-loaders.
Very true and that reminded me that we also need some........
armed with

Bligh.
They would have to climb up into the Crows' Nest.
In that case they had better not be a bunch of.............
Bligh.
Perhaps they should be given a swig of this before they go up - Topman Pineapple Brandy.
Alternatively give tham one of these for when they come down.
That's the ticket Mr.
Now we can get the .............
to start them.
Bligh.
A ship with three screws should be faster.
Despite what Flying Helmut says, I am a ............

The same company will send you to trim the

Never heard of this sail though Dave.
Rob.
Wassail is nothing to do with sails, Rob. It is a hot, mulled punch trafitionally drunk at Yuletide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassail
The rigging needs lots of rope.
Sorry Dave, just my poor attempt at a joke!
Rob.
Maybe this would make a good figurehead.
Rob.
I thought that the ship's figurehead generally tended towards what are called 'glamour models' nowadays.
Then you need something more like this Dave.
Rob.
A Norseman might prefer
King Alfred the Great is reputedly the 'Father of the Royal Navy'. So, on Fathers' Day let us salute him.
For the Draco reference and also the gold plus a ship's figurehead combined , I give you ......
Rob.
Than we must salute Sir Francis Drake.
Indeed, nor should we forget his old mate Sir Walter Raleigh.
Rob.
I thought about celebrating the warship Sir Walter Raleigh had built in 1587 - the first Ark Royal, but I cannot find any drink named after her. So I shall just add to your salute of Sir Walter Raleigh.
Here you go then Dave.
Rob.
Thank you for finding that , Rob.
My pleasure Dave.
Now I expect I will need to find something connected for today!
Rob.
Guess this will have to do, as Frobisher seems not to figure in the Ales of the period.
Although I did find an ale for his earlier exploits.
Rob.
If we are searching for the North-West passage then we must remember Sir Henry Hudson.
In that case we must also honour
Franklin and
Amundsen.
Rob.
Then we must not forget Sir Robert John Le Mesurier McClure, who first found the Northwest passage in 1850.
Sadly, I do not think that this Brewery has any connection with the explorer apart from the name.
Another good find Dave.
Rob.
If we have celebrated the last explorer we should also give credit to the first attempt.
and to his ship.
Rob.
Here is a fresh starter.
There is a ship in it if you look really closely.
Rob.
Dunno if this ones come up before:
