The King ordered the ship scuttled with it’s treasure still on board. Yeah right.
To: wildbill
Treasure everywhere these days.
'Shaun Whitehead is heading up an archaeological expedition to try to uncover treasure buried on the Pacific island of Cocos worth an estimated £160million.
The plunder could contain 113 gold religious statues, 200 chests of jewels, 273 swords with jewelled hilts, 1,000 diamonds, solid gold crowns, 150 chalices and hundreds of gold and silver bars.'

Great memory there! I was very young when Godfrey “buzzed” the tower at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. My parents and grandmother used to listen to him daily. His Uke was a fun part of the shows.

Indeed. I remember sitting around my grandma’s kitchen listening to the Arthur “Buy ‘em by the carton” Godfrey when I was a little kid. I think the Hawaiian singer was Haleoke.

Thanks wildbill. ...most of its British crew massacred on the orders of [Tonga's] King Finau 'Ulukalala II. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |
