  1. I find candlesticks to be quite effective weapons. Just ask me mate.
  2. AMIDES In case you thought I made it up....Amides are a group of organic chemicals containing nitrogen.
  3. Did I ever tell you that I was in a Junior Miss? TORTURE
  4. Ya do look quite imtimadating in that photo, mate, but I knows you to be a good crew as well.
  5. Not Oderlesseye. He was on the Californian. These shots were taken from the Surprise by KnotProficient
  6. I couldn't resist mates. Don't have me keelhauled. It's all in jest.
  7. It seems to me the ships that have 'Quakers' are also ones who have been used for Movies. Most likely the Quakers were bought by the production companies (cost vs effect) and then 'donated' back to the ships. This is the case with the Rose (aka HMS Surprise). Even though the Rose came with full firing replicas, the production company choose to purchase larger Quakers for visual effect (the screen adds 10lbs) but with cost savings (no recoil, less safety issues). However for the purposes of live re-enactment, Quakers don't do it for the VIPs and most of the Quakers become stagnant movie props. Anyone for some fiberglass door stops for your barn?
