An ancient mariner

[robfinds]

At last got the report back from the British Museum regarding the whistle I found last year. When this sailor was blowing his whistle America had only just been discovered. What must it have been like to be a mariner in those days, I can only guess very tough. Should get a good drink out of this find , perhaps it should be rum.

HH Robert.
