Congrats, Angie!

While I was surfing around your site, I found a chart with the "order of
sail" (rather than the order of march) for Queen Victoria's Funeral in 1901
which I found pretty interesting because I remembered looking at a chart
when I worked at LC and it had the names of the ships marked on it.  I had
no idea what I was looking at back then, but it sure made an impression on
me and this one was slam, bam because the order of the names seems to
parallel the size of the vessels, not that the RN had such a good bunch of
ships as they did a few years later when they whomped up on the Bismarck!

Next time I'm in Wisconsin, you can expect me to cruise by Beautiful
Downtown Milwaukee (probably when the Brewers are playing in town, because
the summer before I started working on my PhD at the Other UW, that team
was the Seattle Pilots!  ;~)

Have a lovely turkey!
