"Remembering HMS Tigris" Eighty Years Ago, Today - (Saturday) February 27th, 1943, southeast of Capri Island, off the Gulf Of Naples, Italy: It's a rough week for the Royal Navy. Three days ago, they lost HMS Vandal to a freak training accident. Now, they lose another submarine, this time to enemy action. HMS Tigris (N63, T-Class) is on patrol off Naples on the west coast of Italy when she is picked up on sonar by the Kriegsmarine. Maneuvering into the area is the Submarine Chaser UJ-2210, a converted French fishing-trawler. She is one of the most lethally successful anti-submarine vessels in the German Navy. She begins several depth-charge attacks. Sadly, they find their mark, and soon an oil slick and a giant air bubble breach the surface. HMS Tigris is gone, and with her, All Hands. Today, we pause to remember 63 Officers and Men of the British Royal Navy who gave their lives in the Service Of God, King, and Country eight decades ago, and who remain entombed within their boat on the floor of the Mediterranean. 🇬🇧❤️⚓️❤️🇬🇧 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: PubDom & wrecksite.eu #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #battleoftheatlantic #hmstigris #britishroyalnavy #royalnavy #tclass #submarinewarfare #britishsubmarines #lostatsea #nosurvivors #allhandslost #oneternalpatrol #neverforgotten #honorthefallen #commonwealthwargraves #fairwindsandfollowingseas (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpMA79Jt9HV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Tale of Two Rums... Scene: where the #BattleofBrooklyn against the #British began many moons ago (August 1776, America’s #RevolutionaryWar...). No fights this night tho. Just #TalesToTell and #SongsToSing (thx @charmingdisaster!) And two delicious, distinctly different #RUMS to taste: One #British 🇬🇧: @PussersRum #GunpowderProof. The only rum blended in accordance with #BritishRoyalNavy Admiralty specifications. It’s one of the most historic, natural and traditionally made rums still available today. (made in #Guyana🇬🇾) And one #American 🇺🇸: @Stillhouse’s #DueNorth Recalls when rum seeped through the fabric of #ColonialNewYork. Legend says when sailors received undiluted rum, they called it "Due North"...#organically grown cane #smallbatch (made in #Brooklyn!🏙) #RUM: - was rationed to soldiers and sailors on both sides… - initially generated by enslaved Africans in the #Caribbean, it was used as currency to purchase more humans brutally transplanted to the “#SugarIslands” (to make more)... - rum created so much wealth for Colonial N. America it helped pave a path toward financial independence from England… Special shoutout to @shannonmustipher for making it possible for me to pour tastes of #PussersRum for this historic occasion. Many thanks as always to VBS founders Daric Schlesselman & Sarah Ludington and production guru Rachel Patrick!...#rumtasting #ATaleofTwoRums #Brooklyn #NYC #NYCdrinkswell #nycdrinksrum #gunpowderproofrum #liquidhistory...

“Southern Waters” For all the carnage in the north, it must be remembered that the Battle of The Atlantic was fought from the Barents Sea above Norway, to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa up into the indian Ocean… and all points in between. Today’s attack is such an example. Eighty Years Ago, Today – (Thursday) February 18th, 1943, 56 miles northeast of Salvador, Brazil: The Brazilian freighter “SS Brasiloide” (Photo 1)  is outbound from Maceio, heading south. She is sunk by U-518 (Type IXC) with a pair of torpedoes; the latter breaks her in half. Miraculously, all 50 Crewmen escape and survive the sinking. Meanwhile,  in the Mediterranean, a British torpedo bombers find a perfect target 40 miles northeast of Palermo, Sicily. One attack run later, the 5,891 ton Italian transport “SS Col. Di Lana” (Photo 2)  is on her way to the bottom.  (Casualties Unknown) She isn’t Fascist Italy’s only loss today. West of Sicily, a gale breaks out, sinking the diminutive “RD-24” (Sister Ship, Photo 3), a “Regio Dragamine” class minesweeper of the Regia Marina. (Casualties Unknown) Just another day… 🇺🇲🇺���� ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: 1-3, wrecksite.eu #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #battleoftheatlantic #kriegsmarine #uboats #uboat #torpedoattack #brazilianhistory #braziliancoast #battleofthemediterranean #regiamarina #italiannavy #britishroyalnavy #royalairforce #lostatsea #foundered #torpedobomber (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz6oxcgRxd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is me flirting with my Women.  

This is the tickling contest.  Do you see the heart shaped initials?

mock me?  I have the Candy Charms Video for my own psychological profiling.  Have you reviewed the Sex Slave International Grocers Memo?  I should have addressed it to the Navy.
