Someday if you do we will have to get together Morten.
Rob.
Just read the bit about Tromp that you posted the address for Morten. Although I had the bones of the story from History lessons many years ago, that fills in a lot more details.
Thanks.
Rob.
Also just spotted your question to Sven about the ship mats in his album Morten.
They are the official Ares mats for sails.
Rob.
Although the darker version has been posted earlier; the Pale Ale version is one of my go to beers.
That's one I must try to contrast with the Dark Ale David.
I do like your Avatar bye the way.
Rob.
I came across the picture a while back and it seemed appropriate for a nautical avatar.
Just takes me back to when I was a kid, and had my dad's old FAA hat, and belts etc.
No pictures from that time have survived thank goodness.
Rob.

ok...they were not really fed.Originally Posted by Tordenskjold
Just read about the food and the conditions aboard. If you not were a Kaptain or officer, then you were closer to die of disease than of cannonballs :shock:
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Somehow I doubt this claim:
I doubt the Orange peel is as effective as Limes, but it must help a bit.
Rob.
A lighter ale for today.
Rob.
Tipple for today just to remind you about all those nice Spanish ships just over the horizon.
Rob.
Since you like strong beer, Rob, I thought that you might like to see this. It does contain two beers with nautical references.
Tactical Nuclear penguin appeals to me for obvious reasons Dave.
You have a fine set of numbers there, but I wonder just how they taste?
Rob.
Guess it's time for tonight's tipple.
Rob.
It is about that time Rob. Cheers to all of you amazing people...and remember:
only a fool does not fear the sea
Anyway, I am convinced that I deserve this one:
...i am so close to my first Campaign Scenario
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
I have no idea what they taste like, Rob. I find the pictures on the internet.
For today I have some monster ales to offer:
Yes Dave I'm much the same, but the idea of the thread was to see how many seafaring beers we could spot, not to define their palateability.
So you are fine with what you are doing. I never envisaged that we would find more than maybe a dozen or so when i started, so this has come as a bit of a revelation. Do you think we can break the 400 mark?
Rob.
Oh i was very surprised to and i think you reach far more than 400 marks...i say keep bringing it on.
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Well here is mine for today then.
Rob.
Launch the longboat!
Something different:
David, You should not have drunk the first one
Here is mine for today...
...when I tasted it, then you get a AAR for it.
Wish you all a great day
Morte
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Better get it down then Morten, and give us your AAR.
I am really looking forward to seeing that.
Rob.
Splice the Mainbrace!
I'll drink to that Dave.
Bligh.
My ale for today is:-
Rob.
just need a break from reading threads about ship history and look what i found:
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
What a superb find Morten.
Now why don't you join me for a glass of:-
Take your pick, whilst I sample your fine brew sir.
Rob.
thanks Rob. I'll Pick the Rum then, it's a beauty
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Hoist the Spinnaker!
There is also a Spinnaker Brewing Company, which produces a range of beers.
Todays brew:-

I don't get the nautical connection.
I'm rather thinking of Sharpe and the 95th rifles.
Sorry Jonas it's the Wolf rock.
Wolf Rock Lighthouse is on the Wolf Rock, Cornwall, a single rock located 18 nautical miles (33 km; 21 mi) east of St Mary's, Isles of Scilly and 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) southwest of Land's End, in Cornwall. The fissures in the rock produce a howling sound in gales, hence the name.
The lighthouse is 41 metres (135 ft) in height and is constructed from Cornish granite prepared at Penzance, on the mainland of Cornwall. It took eight years, from 1861 to 1869, to build due to the treacherous weather conditions that can occur between Cornwall and Scilly. The light can be seen from Land's End by day and night, and is almost exactly halfway between the Lizard and the Isles of Scilly. It has a range of 23 nautical miles (43 km; 26 mi) and was automated in 1988.
The Gabrielle of Milford Haven was wrecked on the Wolf Rock in 1394. Her cargo, worth £1000, was washed ashore in Cornwall and collected as wreck.
In 1791 Lt Henry Smith obtained permission from Trinity House to build a navigational mark on the rock. He built a 6.1 m (20 ft) high wrought iron daymark, 10 cm (4 in) in diameter and supported by six stays and a metal effigy of a wolf was placed on top.
By 1795 the daymark was washed away. In the late 1830s John Thurburn built a beacon, which was completed by 1840, and by November of that year was also washed away. Trinity House builder James Walker constructed a 4.3 m (14 ft) high cone-shaped beacon, which took five years to build. Made of iron plates and filled with concrete rubble, it can still be seen next to the lighthouse. In July 1861, engineer James Douglass surveyed the rock and Walker started to build the lighthouse the following March, based on Smeaton's third Eddystone Lighthouse. Completed on 19 July 1869, the light first shone in January 1870 and in 1879 it was reported that the light flashed red and white. In 1972 it became the first lighthouse in the world to be fitted with a helipad and the lighthouse became automated in July 1988.
Footnote.
HMS Nottingham.
On 7 July 2002, Nottingham ran aground on the submerged but well-charted Wolf Rock near Lord Howe Island, 370 miles (600 km) off the coast of Australia. A 160 feet (49 m) hole was torn down the side of the vessel from bow to bridge, flooding five of her compartments and nearly causing her to sink.
Rob.
Aha. Thank you, Rob.
Good evening. This one is dedicated to Richard (Herkybird) for helping a lost scandivian
Thanks again
Morten

Here are some ales with an interesting ingredient - Seaweed!
Whilst I quite like Lava Bread Dave, I will reserve judgement on these ales until I have tried one.
May be O.K. for an old salt, but not a refined palate?
Bligh.
It's not good enough for The Admiral, you say?
Perhaps this is more to the Admiral's liking.
I don't know about the Admiral Dave, but it's certainly more to mine, and by Jove look the Sun is over the yardarm already.
Bligh.
Thanks Morten!Good evening. This one is dedicated to Richard (Herkybird) for helping a lost scandivian
Thanks again
Morten
One for our American cousins.
Full speed ahead
And damn the Torpedoes.
Rob.
If you drink this the Sun will always be over the yardarm.
Good one Dave.
Rob.
Tipple for today is:-
Rob.
Ohøj skipper... for to day
Wish you all a great weekend

Thanks Morten. You have a good one also.
Rob.
Perhaps some of this will help celebrate your recent promotion, Rob.
