billcoe Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I'd buy for a story if you are ever in the pub. Sounds like a nice name for a sound. On other Raindawg style newz: http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/Team-close-finding-grave-Sir-Francis-Drake/story-13647919-detail/story.html "A TEAM of international treasure hunters is close to finding the final resting place of Plymouth hero Sir Francis Drake. They have found two of his ships which were scuttled off the coast of Panama over 400 years ago following the adventurer's death. The team believes Drake's lead-lined coffin could be near to the location of the two ships 'Elizabeth' and Delight have begun a search for the historical artefact." Good stuff! And if anyone needs a PNW/Oregon/Puget Sound connection, more good stuff here at some good writing and storytelling by Portland newsman Terry Richards: http://blog.oregonlive.com/terryrichard/2009/07/newport_man_believe_sir_franci.html Quote
