Age of Sail Despatches #197

[sharpiefan]

Note from the Editor: I'm sorry; I've almost missed this weekend. I hope you've all had a good week? The next edition of Despatches is very likely to also be late as I will be moving across country on Friday, and may or may not yet have internet in the new place. I hope there will be more than one entry to link to when I do get to post, too.
