    Funny thing...

    During the voyage my wifes grandfather got a wound, that must be one of the very few wounds suffered while actually still on the sea.

    Was he wounded during the action with HMS Glowworm which happened on the 8th?

      Hi,
      Indeed he was. He had just fetched 2 wounded from a forward gun, one of whom was missing an arm.
      Rechel (Ships captain) turned the ship and for a few moments the whole ship dissapearwed under a wave, the 2 wounded were washed overboard, her grandfather got caught between the tordedo tukes and suffered a skull fracture and a number other aches and pains.
      All the best
      Chris
