Sorry I took so long to get back. Things have been busy here lately. I had meant to say "gun", sorry about that. The answer was either the General Wolfe, or the Lord Clive. So, I guess Nick got it. Beaver
I apologize if I'm not completely right, things have been so busy here that I didn't have time to research this a lot. If you guys want, I can post another question. Beaver
As a "kick start" to get this thread going again, I'm going to ask another trivia question. ( I just hope that it doesn't end up like all my last) Hope you enjoy me poetry. I was bound to be eaten on a famous German ship. But then the table turned and it took a little dip. I was rescued by a petty officer not too high in rank. I am very glad he came 'cause I surely would have sank. After quarantine, they made me their mascot. And I was adopted by the petty officer, and was loved a whole lot. Later he sent me to a gunnery school for the rest of my carrier. And that is all I'll tell you of my story right here. Who was I.......??? Beaver
Read it again, does it sound like a ship, or even a person. Beaver P.S. If you want to make it a little more interesting, the poem can be sung to the song " The 8th of January", but you have to skip the chorus because I haven't written that yet.
none of it sounds like a ship... Knight is on the right track, but he needs the original ship his animal was aboard
I'v got it !!!!! 'Tirpitz' the pig was seen swimming in the water after the sinking of the German light cruiser SMS Dresden off the Juan Fernandez Islands (South Pacific, some 600 kilometres off the coast of Chile) on 14 March 1915. A sailor on HMS Glasgow jumped overboard to save the animal. Tirpitz became a mascot on the Glasgow, was later kept at the Whale Island Gunnery School, Portsmouth, and was auctioned three times for charity. When he died his head was stuffed and mounted. For photographic portrait of Tirpitz the pig
You got it Johnston. Sorry for not getting back sooner, I was at the dentist. Hey, that one lasted longer that one hour! Beaver
