    Your cartoon in the closed thread where the crew are using the ship as fuel reminded me of an old black and white film where the hero used the wood of the railway carriages to power the railway engine to escape and also didn't they burn wooden fittings from the steamship to power it in Jules Verne's 'Around the World in 80 Days' ?

    Spot on Dave.
    That is what reminded me of it when I saw this picture.

    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.
