Dream on

Well there is nothing like sailing the high seas in the high summer, when the great tufts of white water make a lovely contrast to the deep blue of the waters against a blue azure sky. Yes me hearties such is sailing in the high summer. But what is this, an old ship, a cutty sark, has now steered into my eyeglass, and I can see it from a distance, a polish ship but made out as a prussian blucher style corvette with a good few guns, more than expected, and it is labelled the SS Stan le Can, a fine square rigger and what a professional crew and a tidy ship. This one is quite famous among the crews of the Napoleonic Wars because this one booted old Boney's best ship, the SS KGB out into the North Atlantic to be picked up and ravaged and wrecked by some prussian fast attack patrol frigates, led by the legendary destroyers of some swiss rebel gunners like the MV Kungfeld and the MV Schonheit, and these super class prussian destroyers were the SS Clematis and the SS Leylandii. Lovely ship the SS Stan le Can.
