Perhaps this is the ship we want.

Here is a pale ale commemorating John Cabot's ship The Matthew.
Attachment 26700
Well known Butcombe Ale. Part of Mrs Bligh's family hail from there, but never seen that particular brew. I will have to look out for it Dave.
rob.
Did not remember if we had this one so for today....
Attachment 26716
Rob.
People remember the Mayflower but she had a consort ship the Speedwell.
Attachment 26726
Which reminds me of an ale from a little bit earlier.
Three ships for the price of one.
Rob.Attachment 26727
Which reminds me of a terrible joke: "How do you know that Christopher Columbus had small ships?" Answer: "Because it takes 8 Pintas to make one Galleon,"
What would Britain have done without tea? So, these ships were vital.
Attachment 26729
Ugh!:shock:
Dave, that is bad enough to be one of mine.:wink:
Rob.
Today's rendering is.....
Attachment 26730
Is that a Hunt Class Destroyer Dave?:wink:
Rob.
It is Hunt class but it is the modern Mine Countermeasures vessel, Rob. I am afraid that I previously posted it in #957.
Here are a couple of very old beer labels commemorating famous ships. If you found any of these beers, I doubt that they would be drinkable.
Attachment 26731Attachment 26732
Did we do this one?
Attachment 26734
Rob.
I do not think we have seen that drink before, Rob, although Dreadnought has been mentioned.
Here is a liner and its namesake.
Attachment 26738Attachment 26739Attachment 26740
This ale could represent two ships.

Attachment 26742
Rob.
Indeed it could, Rob.
Here is another famous old battleship remembered.
Attachment 26770Attachment 26771
My favourite ship Dave.
The pride of my Mediterranean Fleet.
Rob.
My choice for today has to be........
Attachment 26772

Warspite holds the record for the longest range hit on another ship in combat.
Today's ship is the Old Ironsides herself.

My offering today is........
Attachment 26835
Rob.
This beer is named after PT-109, the boat commanded by John F. Kennedy in W.W.2 until it was sunk. President-to-be John F. Kennedy then risked his life to make sure that all the survivors were rescued.
Attachment 26854Attachment 26855
My tipple for today is.....

Here is a drink named after Admiral Rodney. On 12th April 1782 he led a British fleet to victory over the French in the Battle of the Saints near Guadeloupe.

Here is my contribution for the day.
Attachment 26882
Rob.
Nice one, Rob.
As Christmas is approaching, here we have Shingle Shells.

:takecover:
Ho! ho! ho!
Attachment 26884
Rob.
Well, if you overcook the Christmas puddings, that is all they are good for. :)
If this photograph is anything to go by, dancing the Hornpipe must be thirsty eork.
Attachment 26886
If this lot of hornpipes are anything to go by you are correct in your assumption Dave.
Attachment 26887
Attachment 26889
This one mainly by implication.
Attachment 26888
Attachment 26890
Rob.
Perhaps we should stick to singing Sea Shanties.
Attachment 26898Attachment 26899
This looks like a good place to get them Dave.
Attachment 26912
Although one of the best pubs I have frequented is Robin Hood Bay Folk Club.
Have you ever seen the Sherringham Shantymen Dave. I have a couple of trheir CDs.
Rob.
No, I am sorry, Rob, but I have not seen the Sheringham Shantymen performing live. However, you can watch them on Youtube.

Cheers Dave.
I had not seen them performing either in the flesh as it were.
Rob.
Here is my Christmas ale for those of a more independent outlook on acquiring prizes.

Attachment 26920Attachment 26921
What has this to do with drinks?
Attachment 26922
Ah! A Christmas riddle Dave. I do like them.
I have no idea, except to say that you would have to be extremely drunk to think that you could sail three ships to Bethlehem.
Rob.
Something for Christmas Day.
