Matty Bottles Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 You can dig out a lot of good info from the master's thesis based on studies of the Belle: Sea Chest Shoes "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.
