Ship's cat on HMCS Sackville, WW2.
(At least I believe it's from Sackville. That's where I found the photo. It was in their random draw full of photos found onboard, which they let me rummage through last year) #history #histodons #cats
If you know that lurking in a photo album at home is a picture of a ships cat from when a relative served then SEND ME THAT PHOTO along with anything you can tell me about it.
You'd be AMAZED how likely it is that you will be sitting on evidence of an undocumented seakitty. #histodons #history #cats
@garius I have to ask, was there a HMCS Baggins?
@garius @shawnhooper Nice! That’s just a few blocks away from me!
@garius I'm curious about that sailor's forearm tattoo. Does it say "tomorrow" under the skull & crossbones? One wonders if there was more text?
@garius Oh, huh. Named after the town we lived in when my father was going to Mount Allison. Might have to get down to Halifax and see her next time I'm up home visiting family in NB.
@Droid41 she's absolutely worth a visit. Gorgeous museum ship.
Here's (nearly) one - not an undocumented seakitty, a documented one. This picture hangs in HMS Caroline's onboard exhibition space. I'm just sharing it because it's awesome and I love telling people about Puff!
