Aha me hearties

Ahoy there shipmates. Tis a black day for the consciences of those evil French captains of those French corvettes over there. They have put into harbour at Brest and found lots of scurvy and legionnaire's disease on board the SS Hudson Huron, the SS Milner Bird, the SS Dingley Tilney, and the Murfax O'Cuivehan, while the dirty old tug and steamer, the French SS Chestleton is still belching out its black smoke all over the islands to the north at Guernsey. Dreadful business all this disease at the port au prince on the SS MV Venerabile QV - a russian corvette in port at the old stopover for the French generals, the St Malo. Anyway we shall head out to the grey Atlantic soon.
