Ship

Charles Dixon, 'The Q ship, HM Schooner Prize, engaged with the German submarine U93, 30th April 1918' (c1922). The date should be 30 April 1917. HMS Prize was sunk a few months after this event, on 14 August 1917. Royal Maritime Museums, Greenwich: public domain image via Wikimedia Commons. A painting of a three-masted sailing ship at sea with a submarine exploding and heeling over off her port side, on the right of the image. On the left foreground a group of men can be seen in a small boat, cheering.

I'm now obsessed with this image of sailors on the deck of a U.S. Navy gunboat during the Civil War. The guy with the banjo. The guy with the pipe. The guy reading the newspaper. The guy holding a dog.

Due to rising temperatures the 17th century graves of Dutch whalers buried at Spitsbergen are defrosting and decomposing.

I will have to give Mr. Vance a shot! I am incredibly biased 🤣

Sometimes I download an Aubrey-Maturin audio book and the narrator isn’t Patrick Tull and it makes me SICK lol. 0 chance an AI would have any art/whimsy/joy/skill/heart/emotion etc

When the official discoverers of Kotelny island first explored the arctic isle, they found a copper kettle

When the first discoverers of uninhabited Macquarie island explored the island, they reported a wreck “of ancient design”. Macquarie lies between New Zealand and Antarctica

Love when this happens

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

Next up for #HistoricalHearts on #ValentinesDay

A 440-pound heart from a blue whale, the largest-known animal to ever exist. It was so big, it had to be doused in 1,000+ gallons of formaldehyde before being plastinated by a team at Royal Ontario Museum. More: www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/pains...
