If you ever visit Mrs Bligh's nephew, you could try out some of Townsite's beers, Rob. Another of their products is Suncoast Pale Ale, named for the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

At Powell River there is a massive breakwater formed from last ten surviving concrete ships from World Wars 1 & 2 in the world. http://www.concreteships.org/ships/powellriver/
Townsite Brewing Inc. have produced a series of beers remembering these vessels. The first vessel in the breakwater used to be one named the Charleston, which is also the name of a famous dance. They produce a Belgian triple beer in its honour.

The vessel, which replaced the Charleston in the Breakwater, is YOGN82. Although never graced with a name, Yard Oiler (Gasoline, Unpowered) 82 served in the Pacific theatre at Leyte, in the Phillipines. Being a fuel barge may not be the most glamourous of war roles, but provided an essential service nonetheless.
The Townsite brewery produces a Belgian triple beer to honour it.

Cardena is a Belgian Quad ale and the third beer in the Hulks Series.

Continuing the Hulk series is Le Chatelier sour Belgian ale.
The S.S. Henri Le Chatelier was built in 1944 and operated to trade sugar for a few years before putting in a war appearance as a store ship in the South Pacific.
Officially retired from service in 1948, she joined the other ‘dry dockers’ that form the breakwater for the Catalyst Mill in Powell River, B.C.

The next hulk is the Peralta and Townsite Brewing produce a wild pale ale named after it.
The S. S. Peralta was an oil tanker built by the San Fransisco Shipbuilding Company and launched in February of 1921. She is the sister ship of the Palo Alto.
In 1924, the Peralta was purchased and converted into a sardine cannery in Alaska. 24 years later, the ship was moored off Antioch, CA.
Finally, in 1958, the Peralta was purchased by Pacifica Papers to be used as part of a giant floating breakwater on the Powell River to protect its log storage pond. She floats aside several of concrete ships built during World War II.

The sixth ship in the concrete hulk series is the S.S. Thaddeus Merriman. The S.S. Thaddeus Merriman was built in 1944. She was used as a store ship in the South Pacific before being purchased and moved to Powell River in 1950.
Townsite Brewing produce Thaddeus a drink described as an Oud Bruin.

I cannot see your last two posts, Rob.
That is odd because they are few of the ones which have stuck Dave.
I seem to be getting odd results now. Some are posting as normal and some are double, which seem to vanish the next time I open the thread. I don't want to bother Keith at the moment because he has enough on his plate without trying to solve a problem which frankly is of little consequence. unless it happens to other people. I just won't post any AARs until things get back to normal.

Another drink from Townsite Brewing is Savary Beaches. It is a wheat ale named after an island off the coast of British Columbia that is known for having “white sand beaches and the warmest waters north of Mexico.”
