Endeavour 1934 America’s Cup

Here are my nautical pillows that we have just ordered for our new construction house, here on Cape Cod. I did not invent these... but have seen them, somewhere, over the years. I want to share my pillows in order to kick-start all of our Members' collective wisdom on those nautical quips (a clever witty remark, joke or saying) that you may know of. All pirate sayings, welcome, too! Thanks, Phil!

I have several big problems with my HMS Victory. Each need a lot of scrutiny. Here's the current blocking issues I am running into.... 1.) Stepping of the bowsprit - Requires loosening of at least 4 shrouds which are preventing the base of the bowsprit from going into place. 2.) Lowering of the curved plexiglas display case - The case is absolutely beautiful, but after I found two friends to help me lift and lower the display case over the vessel... guess what? The spars (yardarms) will not clear the base to the display case!

Here's a real find... an image that helps the new whale carver!

Video on the making of the model ship which had 140 cannon during the battle of Trafalgar by Eugenio Monesma Documentaries: The Spanish ship with 140 cannons at the Battle of Trafalgar was the Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad. As the largest warship in the world at the time, this four-deck, first-rate ship of the line served as the flagship for Admiral Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros. It was captured by the British in October 1805 but sank shortly after. Key Details About the Santísima Trinidad: - Armament: Upgraded to 140 guns in 1802. - Role: Flagship of the Spanish fleet at Trafalgar. - Fate: Heavily damaged and captured, but scuttled on 22 October 1805, due to damage sustained in a storm. - Nickname: Known as El Escorial de los Mares ("The Escorial of the Seas").
