Harry,
Are you sure their were many injuries and deaths on a war ship? Did
the
infantry during that time have many injuries and deaths when they went
into
battle?
I took Harry's comment to mean that every day life aboard ships, in those
days, would be risky to life and limb.
Do your replies have to be so sarcastic? Why don't you grow up and act
your age?

Jim



That's precisely what I meant. You just never knew when you stepped aboard
a warship or even commercial ship in the 19th Century whether you would
return and if you did whether you'd have all your limbs, and you didn't
even have to be in a battle to sustain a horrific shipboard injury. It was
very dangerous work.

Smithers is a lost cause. He's only here to see who he can hector, and
he's in a permanently ****ed-off mode because I never see about 90% of the
"barbs" he tosses at me.
