Don't forget, Doolittle is also pursued by the nefarious Capt. Malcolm
Brickering(1) from whom he won the Aurora (formerly the Queen Anne
Revamped, re-named, of course, for his Lady Fair, Ms. Waite) in a
personal injury litigation on behalf of the Widows and Orphans of the
ill-fated HMS Royal Ork.

I forget who started this! Richard?
"Arrrr, is a Baroque anything like a Bark or Brig?"

Yea, it's a Bark which has been hit by a full broadside from a 1st rate
ship of the line, and now it's baroque in two...

Yeah. Cool, isn't it.

I'm writing as fast as I can, but my y2k compliant quill isn't made for this
kind of high pressure work.
I'll try to knock it out late tonight :-)
So far so good, no-one seems to have crossed storylines, everything has been
a consistent addition. And I like it!
I guess the smart thing to do is to throw it up on a web page (sans pictures
obviously, I have some building and photography to do. In fact, I have a
LOT of building and photography to do ;-).

Still baldly going...
