The marines were assigned to Plymouth, Portsmouth etc, but surely not the Royal Navy ships themselves? Did the warships really have home ports? I wasn't aware of this, but am happy to learn more.

Did anyone go to the Plymouth Navy Day this weekend, 5th/6th September? Plymouth in Devon, that is... It strikes me that Plymouth is an incredibly important historic site that is undervalued (and much ...

Just spotted this - you'd be better posting this on the main forum, Mike, as it's more likely to be noticed? It may well be possible to trace what was happening.

It's a pity there is such a tight schedule (why does this always happen?), but you should definitely get hold of this CD-Rom Jessica. Patrick - you should email her direct with this information in cas ...

On the radio this morning, the Today programme, John Humphreys said he didn't know how big the Atlantic was. Have just read that it's 33 million square miles. Wonder if that's correct?

Well, don't stop there, Peter. This is obviously a little-known event that deserves a wider audience. And when you say 'wartime', what war exactly? Wink

This is a fascinating topic, and many cannons at the end of the war were certainly used as bollards, and no doubt many captured ones were used as such as well. I have come across a reference to French ...
