2. I think that if it doesn't have pictures.... |
|
or cool sound effects...well, you know the rest. It might not captivate the current DU audience.

Even though the acrobat reader doesn't show the pictures for some reason (an error 14, whatever that is). Interesting to note that the basic quarters and battle stations routines haven't really changed much in spirit - even if the technology has changed - over the centuries.
BTW, We get to check out the Star of India - a still-(somewhat) active iron hulled clipper ship built in 1865 - here in San Diego on a living history basis. Wonderful old ship; they have several "sleepovers" where they teach the guests the seamanship required to crew her when she goes out sailing.
