In 1758, during the Seven Years' War, English privateers captured the Bremen merchant ship Concordia. The subsequent legal battle preserved something remarkable: the ship's complete archive. ⛵️

I have so many books at home and at work, and I've rearranged my shelves so many times, that often I struggle to find a volume I know I have and find it easier to just go to the library than track it down. All of which is to say, I think I need a librarian. Or fewer books. 🗃️
