And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Tall Ship. Check out the knots on the bell's clapper.
Looks like the "HMS Rose", later renamed/transformed to "Surprise" and used in the "Master and Commander" movie. Spent fair bit of time on that ship as a kid.
Ship rigged with one line of gun ports. A frigate. Who is she?
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this ship I thought "The Bounty", isn't there one of the replicas made for the movies still hanging around?
ReplyDeleteStar knot with a single crown? Those knots all have some pretty weird names.
