Did you know?

Captain FitzRoy of H.M.S. Beagle, just prior to the trip with
Charles Darwin, gave sailors the expression "port", replacing
"larboard", since it was to easily confused with "starboard".

Captain Bligh, of Mutiny on the Bounty fame, was
the master for Captain Cook on his third voyage?


In memory of a friend to all trailer sailors...
