If you see this, post a ship. Like many people, I wish the WW2 USS Enterprise had been preserved - would have been a remarkable museum ship - but I also think the USS Hartford, Farragut's Civil War flagship would also have been a remarkable ship to save as a museum ship.

2 Dec 1949 // 74-gun HMS Implacable (ex French Duguay-Trouin, captured 1805) was scuttled off Ventnor, Isle of Wight, after many years as an accommodation/training ship. 2nd-oldest ship in the #RoyalNavy but alas, nobody was willing to pay for her to be restored. (Imperial War Museum A 25961)

The Spanish galleon Andalucia is making its way up the River Avon in Bristol county, England. I don’t know how long today’s journey was, so I have no idea how many miles per galleon they got.

Visiting the Andalucia today. Dunno whether I ought to lower that red and gold flag to replace it with the Dutch tricolour and proclaim the ship taken, or just sink her out of principle. Remember 1572!
