Note from the Editor:
I've added some more interests to despatches' interest list. it is still by no means an exhaustive list, but I'm hoping that it is a little more comprehensive and reflects the Age of Sail a little better. If there's anything you think ought to be added, or you think despatch_reader ought to track a particular account, please comment and let me know.
