DrGoat said...: I can see you captaining an ironclad, like the Monitor, during the Civil War period. Big ole 11 inch dahlgren cannons blasting away. Cal, right in the middle urging his ship on.; February 1, 2011 at 7:57 AM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: Hahahaha, talk about David and Goliath!; February 1, 2011 at 8:35 AM
Pat Tillett said...: A very cool illustration! Only one problem, you shoot that big cannon one time and the recoil will send you backwards all the way to port. (or to davy jones' locker, arrr!); February 1, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Kal said...: I love that image Dr G. And we would all have to wear ear protection and communicate with a elaborate set of hand signals.

Pat - I would only need ONE shot out of that blunderbus then I swim away as they deal with what just happened to them. Damn Spaniard and they fancy ships. Or is that one Portugese. Either way - Eurtrash arrogance. Come that close to the cave of cool again, Senior BITCH, and I might not go so easy on you next time.; February 1, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Kal said...: You thought what you thought Margaret because you know I am a complicated individual.; February 1, 2011 at 10:49 AM

Kal said...: I don't necessarily want to kill them. Just teach them a harsh lesson - that the sea can be a cruel bitch mistress.; February 1, 2011 at 1:50 PM

Housatonic with an explosive strapped to a spar on the sub's bow (honest - Google it...). A great little film if you can find it. The relative sizes of the combatants is pretty much just like this.; February 1, 2011 at 9:36 PM
Kal said...: I will seek out that movie. Thanks for that tip. I love that part of American History. Like the first submarine, the Turtle, the ironclads fascinate me.; February 2, 2011 at 9:51 AM
