The USS Constitution, Old Ironsides, the world's oldest commissioned warship will set sail this coming Sunday for the first time since 1997 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the victory over HMS Guerriere during the War of 1812.
P.S., I tried to post a photo of the ship but my photo file was 1401.6 kb and the limit here is 1024kb. Does anyone have a soluton for that problem?

There's a free program called PIXresizer that allows you to reduce the size of nearly any picture. I downloaded it free of charge years ago. Try googling it to see if it is still available. If not, I can try to send it to you via e-mail. |

I use M/S Office Picture Manager which came with my 'puter. It works great, especially when I want to export it to Photobucket or another programs such as that.

I don't provide useful advice; I just use people, like any self-respecting parasite ... (pregnant pause) ... what I meant to say is that I respect other people's expertise, like any lawyer. |

A beautiful, graceful old lady. There was a short bit on the TV last night about the impending voyage. (A well kept secret of these romantic and intriguing old ships - they require a lot of hard work to run and to maintain  |

Who cares about ships??? Planes sink ships, and subs sink ships.

"Long live the Admiral.....!!!"
Trouble is, he didn't, Lord Nelson took a musket ball in the spine, and died a horrible death. They put his body in a barrel of rum ("Nelson's Blood") and took him back to England.
We should have had him and the 'Victory' off Yorktown, it would have turned out much better for Cornwallis.
