Sea cruise ping.

“Baby let me take you on a sea cruise.”

Oh wow, this is cool, I would totally read these!!

Wynne's journeys aboard her husband's warship as a young and, for some time, pregnant wife may sound odd today. But many British navy ships carried the wives or mistresses of tradesmen, and even the captains' wives.

Yes, actually, if you read Jane Austen's Persuasion there's quite about about this.

very interesting.

It reminds me of the Battle of Bull Run where locals sat out on hillsides having picnics to watch the battle.

JUST PUBLISH THE DIARIES!

Too many times they are SELECTIVE on what they publish and put their spin on it.

Thanks.

I have some old family letters and they are so interesting to read.

Fiction, but so historically detailed you need reference books to fully understand:

Mrs jimfree read some of the Wynne sister diaries researching her book on Federal period costume history.

I’ll buy this book when its published.

Thanks decimon! Elizabeth "Betsey" Wynne accompanied her husband aboard his warship during a disastrous British assault on the Spanish Canary Islands. She spent the voyage home-nursing the wounded Rear-Admiral Horatio Nelson... Wynne began writing her diaries at age 11 in 1789 -- just weeks after the French Revolution had begun shaking Europe. She kept up her journaling until she died in 1857. 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.
