Hey, Brett, did you know that the HMS Surpise (aka HMS Rose) is currently berthed at the San Diego Maritime Museum, alongside the Star of India? The Surprise will be on exhibit for the rest of this year.

You really should do some websearching to establish some contacts as we did with the James Craig in Sydney. Too bad Amos is out of the loop but someone in San Diego must do traditional sea songs and have some contacts with the shipkeepers.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
