HMS Discovery on Pacific Station

Trafalgar Day update.

Just over the horizon. Remember to save the day.

Greetings from the empty quarterdeck. Just the Lady Ashley and I are aboard, we are keeping our distance and prepared to repel boarders if necessary. We wish all our friends and shipmates well during these unusual times. We look forward to happier days and our next meeting.

On this Easter Sunday I wanted to mark the passing last week of friend of the ship; General Timothy Pickles, seen here (with star) in happier days. I had the honour to represent the Royal Navy at the battle of New Orleans for many years under the command of General Pakenham/Tim. We were also very good friends. He was a gentleman and a scholar and he will be missed.

HMS Discovery took part in the Battle of Copenhagen on this date in 1801. Cmdr. John Conn RN

Lady Ashley recently gave me a sparkling gift for my full dress bicorn.

Lady Ashley and I attended last night's ball.

Season's Greetings to all from Pacific Station.

New Orleans 2015. There is a new event planned for this January.

Shipmates, please place your orders with Gurth Pretty if interested.

It is with great sadness I must report that our bosun Mr. Edward Benline passed away yesterday. Pipe the still.

This year's Trafalgar Day Picnic was another rousing success.
