Tall Ships 2004 Calendar
 Amazon.com This third segment takes Jack Aubrey to the Indian subcontinent, where both the waters and the terrain are full of unfamiliar dangers. There is, however, a prize in the offing: a flotilla of French ships sent to attack the China Fleet. If Aubrey and Maturin can intercept the French, their fortunes will be made. But can they? Join Captain Aubrey on the quarterdeck and find out for yourself. This text refers to the Paperback edition. Amazon.com Audiobook Review The stakes are high as HMS Surprise opens, and actor Robert Hardy's sterling reading never lets you forget them. Hardy makes Patrick O'Brian's third novel of highseas adventurewritten in 1973 and set mainly in 1805 on the waters surrounding India and the Orientseem as immediate as an overdrawn checking account. Money plays a big role, and Captain Jack Aubrey stands to make a lot of it. All he has to do is find Napoleon's fleetand take their gold away from them. (Running time: three hours,... read more This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. Amazon.com The year is 1815, and Europe's most unpopular (not to mention tiniest) empirebuilder has escaped from Elba. In The Hundred Days, it's up to Jack Aubreyand surgeoncumspymaster Stephen Maturinto stop Napoleon in his tracks. How? For starters, Aubrey and his squadron have been dispatched to the Adriatic coast, to keep Bonapartist shipbuilders from beefing up the French navy. Meanwhile, one Sheik Ibn Hazm is fomenting an Islamic uprising against the Allies. The only way to halt this maneuver is to intercept the sheik's shipment of goldbecause in the Napoleonic era, as in our own, even the most ardent of mercenaries requires a salary. The Hundred Days is the 19th (and, we are told, the penultimate) installment of O'Brian's epic. Like many of its predecessors, it features a fairly swashbuckling plot, complete with cannon fire, exotic disguises, and Aubrey's suspenseful, slowmotion pursuit of an Algerian xebek. Yet it never turns into a mere exercise in Hornblowerism. Partly this is due to O'Brian's delicate touch with characterthe relationship between extroverted Aubrey and introverted Maturin has deepened with each book, and even Aubrey's reunion with his childhood companion Queenie Keith is full of novelistic nuance:   Amazon.com After several installments of gallivanting around the South Seas, Aubrey and Maturin return home to England, where the surgeoncumintelligenceagent discovers that his wife has disappeared. As if such a domestic crisis weren't enough, the intrepid pair are also dispatched to the Gulf of Guinea (to suppress the slave trade) and to Ireland (to rebuff an impending French invasion.) O'Brian's stunning range, coupled with his mindbending command of minutiae, explain why James HamiltonPaterson has called him From Publishers Weekly This entry in O'Brian's late18thcentury seafaring series will delight fans, while offering newcomers a good place to jump in. Here Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are assigned to help a Polynesian queen in her struggle with a Napoleonbacked rival, and a female convict is smuggled aboard by a midshipman in Australia. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews The musings and adventures of 18thcentury sailors Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin (The Ionian Missionary, The Surgeon's Mate, et. many al.) follow the winds to the South Pacific. On this cruise: a shipboard wedding and a Polynesian dustup. With Britain between wars for the moment, Captain Aubrey shifts his flag to The Truelove, a merchantman with a military past, and sails to Sydney and points east on a leisurely semiofficial cruise. As usual, Jack is accompanied by his friend Maturin,... read more This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

At the end of WWI, "Solway Lass" (SL) worked as a coal merchant, produce and stone carrying vessel between Liverpool England and Scottish Ports. In 1924 sold to a Scottish firm in the Solway Firth where she was renamed SL. When WWII broke out the Germans seized SL as a prize of war where she was used to supply their armed forces.

Between 1983 and 1985 SL was totally rebuilt and in 1988 took pride of place in the 1st Fleet re-enactment of the Tall Ships into Sydney Harbour.		 Austria
