The 1805 Dispatches #22.04 August 2022 4 of 9 SHIP’S WORD WHEEL Take a ten-minute break and find as many words as possible, using the letters in the wheel. Each must use the hub letter and at least 3 others, used only once. No plurals (if only made by adding an ‘s’ or ‘es’), no foreign words not in common usage in English, nor proper nouns. There is at least one nine-letter word to be found. 12 = Average; 20 = Good; 25 = Very Good; 30+ = Amazing!

On the instruction of Chairman John Rodgaard, two cartoons were drawn and were framed and presented to them, officially at the AGM. (Barry actually got his a bit sooner, as he was unable to attend the AGM). On further instruction from John, here they are for all to see. perhaps as a tacit acknowledgement by Charles II that he’d been scapegoated. The wayward duke took the throne in 1685. His reign proved unpopular, and he was deposed in favour of his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband, William of Orange, less than four years later, during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. While not the main impetus for James’ ousting, his handling of theGloucester disaster certainly didn’t bolster his reputation. “A tragedy of considerable proportions in terms of loss of life, both privileged and ordinary, the full story of the Gloucester’s last voyage and the impact of its aftermath needs retelling, including its cultural and political importance, and legacy,” says Jowitt in the statement. “We will also try to establish who else died and tell their stories, as the identities of a fraction of the victims are currently known.” Now, here’s a good idea for a retirement project for Barry: The Sail Training Ship Lord Nelson is for sail, and any offers will be considered. This is an opportunity to acquire a substantial an impressive tall ship for possible use as a private yacht. It probably needs a lick of paint and whatever.
