Where did the story about a Government in exile in the West Indies come about? And why did it need a quarter of a million bottles of whisky? I thought that any government in exile would be in Canada - didn't they send the gold reserves there? I rather assume that exporting whisky would be more for currency reserves, perhaps the (unrelated) name of the ship has lead to the wrongs conclusions.
