A little off topic

Recently having collected a lovely pocket watch from the era, I thought it appropriate to share on this site.  Not specific to the ship or crewmembers, it is an item that any one of them could have carried on their person, as I intend to do.  It’s a bit of a story, still developing, and I pray that you’ll indulge me.
