Ahoy there - South Sea Bubbles

Ahoy there me hearties. Well this is a surprise in the old Crow's nest - to see a couple of old Roman triremes sailing this way but working for the Royal Navy officially, at least according to the union jacks and enseigns on their bows. Odd that these are not on their sterns where they are supposed to be. The SS Keithley Romanus and the SS Patricius Severus Caledonicus. In behind, covered and hidden by these two front-runners, front being the right word for such Destra Nazionales, we can also spot a Greek trireme of some glory and elaborate majesty, but again just slightly over-blown like a Pythagoras on his wedding day to some Nerone in the background at a low vive nightspot, and lo and behold, it is the Queen of the Aegean and her name is Cormacchione Pinocchione the Great, otherwise known among the lads as Cleopatra VII. A funny sight. We don't know what to do with these three, but they have ramming bows and all of their two-timing insignia is overblown and elaborate, like they are working for the King Ptolemy regiments of Napoleon in Egypt, so best to sink them anyway as their union jacks are upside down and hoisted on the bow, so probably false cards, playing the union for all they are worth - traitors to both king and country. All hell lads - fire at will ye sons of Victoria.
