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.

do they now keep it?

Hello Shaun, it goes to inquest at Nottingham next Tuesday, and should be bought by the a local museum after it as been valued.

thats pretty cool, it must be a good feeling to have something put in a museum!
