Thanks for commenting Jim and for the compliment! It's ture that many of our passions for the study of weapons/wars/battle strategies and people often lead us down many roads. Since embracing maritime history, I've found myself reading up on everything from Dutch onion bottles, navigational tools, optics, old maps, uses for whale oil, etc, etc!!! In any case, definately part of the journey for all of us is in the research. Back to the books indeed!
