Thanks for explanation but surely the Barque is the Royal one kept on the River Thames.

His/Her Majesty's Barque Austin.

What is HMB?

You would probably know. I have seen both listed??

Did not the Endeavour have the HMB instead of HMS? Regards

I used to have both the Heller Victory and the Mamoli. The Heller kit in particular is still considered the greatest plastic sailing ship kit of them all. Sold them both. Although I may revisit the Heller again...someday. I don't know if I could attack a large scale Mamoli or Mantua kit any more. My eyesight may not allow it. Yet, I have just about every Revell 1:96 kit.

I agree and I am beginning to miss Titanic as well!

Did anyone else catch on to the other three were research and exploration for the RN? Darwin (his project), Bligh, Cook🤔

Likewise boatshed👍

Got todays right,👍 Went for A as I knew what the other three were could not have been used for A. Also Astro also meaning astronomy, so up in the sky/heavenly.

I had a choice between B and D, my instinct was D and I thought with my luck if I go for that I will be wrong so I went for B. These were the only two I had heard of.It was just as well I did as other wise I would have been wrong once again. Wish my dear old dad was still with us he was a wizz with these things. I think it was his help today👍. R.I.P pop 11 years passed 💔today I'll be having a Rum for you tonight. He was a Navy man.

Me too Ed. I took the same route. 😉

And there was me thinking it was Ellen MacArthur...

I looked at it the other way round why would anyone put an answer like that in?

So guessed right! But in amongst a few more unpronouncable names I would have got it wrong.
Roy

All I remember was that she was Polish, only one answer seemed to fit 🤔

Live and learn, couldn't begin to pronounce the correct answer unless I've had a "few shandies "😊

Live and learn. 👍

Me too!

Lucky guess

After some of you responded I decided to check and seems it is still in use. Not certain if at special times or permanently but it works🤞

Wrong today, better fortune tomorrow 😕

Hi Colin H, I have watched a program on telly about Lighthouses a while back, and according to that the Hook Lighthouse was what I had seen on there as also the same so that's why I went for that Lighthouse to be the correct answer. So not all of these programs that we see on the square box are correctly produced. We just believe them to be correct. It's like things we learnt at school we believed to be correct and not everything was some things in history as not.

Well after visiting hook lighthouse 7 years ago with an RNLI organised safety learning trip and being told that it is the oldest fully functioning, still in use, and being over 800 years in continuous use I expected it to be the correct answer.
How wrong can you be.
Cheers Colin.

I was doing well with a good very short run, but got it wrong today👎. Better luck, I hope tomorrow.

With a name like HERCULES it had to be old?🤓

Me too! Another learning experience.
Roy

Dammit! And I was on a hot-streak.

Hi Doug and don't forget that all history is written by the winners!
Roy

To put it another way😉
Anything that happened in pre-history; that is when there was human life before records documented human activity, roughly from 2.5 million years ago to 1,200 B.C., did not officially happen. No notaries around to authenticate the events. 😁
😎

I have decided not to post negative thoughts on Question of the Day so no comment🤣

WORKS FOR ME! Everybody!! Leave 'em alone! (It's a slow day here everything is cold wet and snowy)

I look forward to revelations yet to come.

Roy

I'll settle this...according to Garp, The Hawaiian Islands have not yet been discovered.......😂

Oh yes, WRITE IT DOWN, but only English, Spanish, French, or Italian, or Portuguese are acceptable as language of choice. There might be some evidence of Scandinavian settlements in Newfoundland. On the scale of 1000 years old

Yea Roy, but to back up on your points of:
1) Polynesians did it first
2) And it doesn't count until the Europeans say so

So, in conclusion, a Scandinavian proved that the Polynesians did it first so now THAT COUNTS😁

I agree with roycv, There is always a debate on who discovered what. Did Vikings visit America before Columbus? Maybe they did, I wasn't there. It doesn't count as a discovery unless you can write it down, draw a map, show others where it is and go back to a place.

Excuse me but Thor was a Norwegian.

Roy

And didn't Thor Heyerdahl prove the Polynesians were roaming the Pacific on balsa boats long before the Europeans got around to it?

Sorry Tora dog, until a European has discovered things, that is then Day 1!

Just look in our history books for proof.😀😀😀. The Polynesians did not write it down so it never happened! Don't you read your poitics! 😎😎😎 i.e. what the eye does'nt see.....
Roy

NONE of the above. The Hawaiians, ie, Polynesians, did.😁

While my Dad was in Vietnam, we lived there for 3 glorious year. What a place to be a kid!

O! I thought it said James HOOK😉!

Nobody expects THe Spanish Inquisition !

The others all seem associated with other things so Jimbo was my choice.
Roy

To be more specific, the Challenger Deep within the trench. Prox 11KM or 36,200ft in depth

Roy.... What have you been drinking??

Hi Stablit Express works and is also a gap filler.
Roy

A while back I seem to recall one about The Owl and the Pussycat

I remembered it was the same year as the start of the First World War

Jumpugly, looks like a great rescue project. Have fun 👍

Hi Jump I'm jealous!!!!!!!
