HMS Victory, a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line, holds a storied place in naval history. Commissioned in 1778, she has served for an impressive 246 years as of 2024—making her the world’s oldest naval vessel still in commission1. Her most iconic moment came during the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805, where she served as Horatio Nelson’s flagship. Let’s delve into her remarkable story:
Construction: Ordered in 1758, HMS Victory was laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She was designed by Sir Thomas Slade and based on the outline plans of HMS Royal George1.
Trafalgar: At Trafalgar, Victory led the front column and played a pivotal role. Despite being badly damaged, she fought valiantly alongside Nelson. Tragically, Nelson was shot by a French musketeer during the battle and died shortly before its end2.
Legacy: After 1824, Victory served as a harbor ship. In 1922, she found a new home in a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, where she has been preserved as a museum ship. Since October 2012, she has also been the flagship of the First Sea Lord13.
Specifications:
Length: 186 feet (gundeck), 227 feet 6 inches (overall)
Beam: 51 feet 10 inches
Draught: 28 feet 9 inches
Armament at Trafalgar:
Gundeck: 30 × 32-pounders
Middle gundeck: 28 × 24-pounders
Upper gundeck: 30 × 12-pounders
Quarterdeck: 12 × 12-pounders
Forecastle: 2 × medium 12-pounders, 2 × 68-pounder carronades1
Experience Victory: Today, visitors can explore HMS Victory at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Step into the past, witness where sailors ate and slept, and feel the drama of the battle that forever changed history4.
HMS Victory stands as a testament to courage, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of those who sailed her.
In memoriam Marsham Argles DD , rector of Barnack & Dean of Peterborough Cathedral who died 1892 aged 78 - given in 1895 in commemoration of his 40 years incumbency 1851-91 - Church of St John the Baptist, Barnack, Northamptonshire.
He was born in Limerick, the son of Captain George Argles R.N., . In 1831 he entered Merton College, Oxford and later was ordained into the priesthood serving first at Cranford and then Duddington.
He m 1839 Margaret Julia daughter of Rev George Davys, who that same year was appointed Bishop of Peterborough.
In 1851, aged 37, he was appointed rector at Barnack. It was said at the time that it was a curious coincidence that he should succeed to this comfortable benefice and to a canonry, both in the gift of his father in law who when accused of nepotism, replied: Why should an excellent young man be prevented from having a good living merely because he is my son-in-law?
(Barnack had been without a rector for 7 years, after the scandalous incumbency of the Rev. Herbert Charles Marsh who had been relieved of his duties by Bishop Davys in 1844, following a failed prosecution brought by Rev. Marsh against one of his French mistresses).
Moving into the rectory which he rebuilt, Marsham and wife Margaret had 9 children by 1857 - 5 boys and 4 girls.
He also possessed an ample fortune and owned land in Cumbria. He gave £1300 to the Peterborough Cathedral Restoration Fund and also gifts to the cathedral totalling c£7500 (throne and pulpit, choir marble floor and 2 organs)
He also restored the church in Barnack, as he had in Duddington.
However, his life was marred by tragedy. In 1831 his father died at Southampton after he stabbed and shot himself. Furthermore 4 of his 5 sons predeceased him.
1. Henry Arkinson died 1858 aged eight
2. Francis died 1871 aged 24
3. Charles drowned in 1879 aged 36 while swimming in the Thames at Cookham.
4. Marsham Frederick died 1883 of fever aged 31, on his return from India, where he had been working with the Oxford Mission to Calcutta.
He erected stained glass windows to 3 of his sons and the east window to his father in law Bishop George Davys
He was keenly interested in the education of the village children. He was school manager when Thomas Whitman was appointed head teacher in 1864 and he was also a chief inspector of schools for the Northamptonshire Education Society. A month after taking charge of the school, Mr. Whitman faced the daunting prospect of a visit from a school inspector. He records in his logbook that for 8 days immediately prior to this visit Rev. Argles and his curate were in school examining the children in writing and arithmetic. This early partnership between the rector and head teacher proved fruitful. Between 1865 and 1869 the average attendance at the school rose from 107 to 160 while the local population remained at about 900.
Rev. Argles’ enthusiastic support for the school, which had been built in 1796, led him to fund an extension. This was a room for the infants and was added to the west side of the existing building. It came into use in 1872.

In the early years of motor vehicle travel in Yellowstone National Park, the yellow buses and touring cars of the Yellowstone Transportation Co (which later merged and became part of the Yellowstone Park Co.) were a common sight. The bus in this photo is a White Model 706 14-passenger bus built between 1936 and 1939. The White 706 buses had bench seating for 13 passengers behind the drivers seat. The 25 feet long and 8 feet wide buses have only a curbside door, which allowed for safe loading and unloading of passengers out of traffic on the narrow Yellowstone roads and parking areas. The buses had a canvas top that could be opened to allow visitors access to the sun and on-board viewing of wildlife and other sights. This feature resulted in the nickname "open-top buses." On chilly days lap robes were provided to help keep passengers warm but still allowing the roof to be rolled back. Any Luggage on longer trips was stowed in a canvas-covered wooden platform attached to the back of the bus. The elegant exterior of the model 706 was a product of the Bender Body Company. The eye catching radiator cowling and grill as well as the rest of the exterior was the work of renowned industrial designer, Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky.
The White 706 was designed specifically for use in sightseeing of western national parks. In 1935 four companies were invited to participate in a product test in Yosemite National Park by the National Park Service. The 706, with its longer wheel base and 318 cc v-6 engine, out performed all the others and was selected as the new bus for Yellowstone. It was not only used at Yellowstone but also at Glacier National Park where they were called the “Reds” of "Red Jammers" because they were painted red. In total the buses were used at 7 national parks in the west. The bus was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio (proving once and forever that good things can and do come out of Cleveland!)
The White Model 706 came in to service in 1936 right at the time of the merger that formed the new Yellowstone Park Company (YPC). In 1940 the YPC had 98 of the 706 buses in service. With time came modern buses and the old yellow fleet including the White 706’s was sold off in the 1960’s and spread around the country. In the late 1980 ‘s The Skagway Street Car Co was looking for a bus to do tours of Skagway, Alaska. They had seen the old Yellowstone Buses in photos and when they found a collector with one for sale they bought it in 1987. It was perfect for their needs so they started looking for more and ended up with 8 running Yellowstone White 706’s. They named each bus for the place they found it. Monty was named for the collector in Vermont who sold it to them. (When the bus at or near capacity the driver reportedly called it the “Full Monty”.) The other names, Hollywood (actually was used in the movie Chinatown), Big Rocky (Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO) Little Rocky (Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO), Great Falls (Montana), Yellowstone (West Yellowstone, MT), Cripple Creek, and Mason City, all bear the name of the place they were found. The buses became part of the Skagway culture. The names used by driver and visitor alike now are monogrammed above the front passenger seat in each bus. In the 1990’s Xanterra replaced YPC as the concessioner in Yellowstone. One thing Xanterra wanted to do was bring the Yellow Bus experience back toe Yellowstone. They contacted the tour company in Skagway and made an agreement to purchase the 8 buses and bring them back to The Park. After their purchase in 2001, the buses were overhauled and refurbished by Transglobal Design and Manufacturing in Lavonia Michigan. They installed a new Ford E-450 chassis and a 5.4-liter gasoline engine in each of the buses. Total Cost to purchase and refurbish the 8 buses was around $1.9 million (US).
In 2007 the Buses returned to tour duty in Yellowstone. This bus was picking up visitors at the Old Faithful Inn for a tour in the Old Faithful area on a beautiful July day in 2012. Besides the 8 refurbished buses there are reportedly two 706's and 3 older original White models that have been maintained at Yellowstone. But now, It is nice to see the yellow buses back at Yellowstone working. Several of the red buses at Glacier have been refurbished also and are back on duty. Gettysburg National Battlefield operates 2 of the original Yellowstone White model 706 buses. These 2 buses are still working in the National Park System but along way from home.

"Harry DuBois and his new wife Susan Sanders DuBois, purchased the Indian shell midden property on the south side of the Jupiter Inlet in 1898. It was the perfect place to build a home –high enough above sea level for the DuBois family to catch the ocean breezes and beautiful view. The house and prehistoric midden are now recorded on the National Register of Historic Places as the Jupiter Inlet Historical and Archaeological Site. The DuBois Pioneer Home is currently operated by Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation."

The Miracle Synopsis
met at the age of 17 and understood what love is; He went to jail because of the age of 18 and he understood what responsible mean; met again at the age of 21 and experienced the pain of longing; Go hand in hand, between unchanging pure emotions and treacherous.
Bai Zong Yi, who was excellent both in character and as an academic and the best in medicine, did not think he would have to take an injured creature home when he collected the money. Not only does he have a sharp tongue, he is a picky eater, he also arrogantly occupies his home. The appearance of Fan Ze Rui upset Bai Zong Yi a little. But it also adds vitality to boring high school days. Fan Ze Rui looked at Bai Zong Yi, who worked hard to rise by working part-time as if he was seeing his past. He was like that once, but the more he tried, the more he had to give up as he tried. So he became a muddy gangster who didn't know what to do. Only Zong Yi accepted him.

It suffered heavy casualties, and by the end of October, early November it was being withdrawn to the UK, where it was subsequently down-graded to a training cadre.

A distinctive feature of Adelaide Arcade is the coat of arms which adorns its Rundle Mall facade.
The Adelaide Arcade was built in 1885, 16 years before federation and 24 years before a Coat of Arms was officially proclaimed (1908).
The Adelaide Arcade's Coat of Arms is still similar to Australia's official one in a few respects. It has a Kangaroo and Emu on each side, although opposite to the final Australian design.

I may be unique in my love of the 914. Not totally, as evidenced by this guy owning one. I showed up late for Coffee and Classics this month and this was one of the few remaining. This was a rare 914-6, with the six cylinder engine. I never met the owner, but wish I had. Would love to hear the performance figures on this car. This was the variant of this car that was thought to be a real Porsche.

Since the Army had given little thought to raising a wartime cadre of NCOs during World War I, it had to default to its traditional method in which officers identified potential NCOs in the ranks. Training for these men after their selection was completely on-the-job. While this practice worked well in the small Regular Army and the National Guard where officers had sufficient time to know their men, it could not work as well in the press of organizing, training, and deploying new units, particularly when so many of the junior officers had themselves only recently received their commissions. Thus, many units suffered from inadequate NCO leadership until commanders learned how to identify men who would perform well or Soldiers demonstrated a talent for leadership on the battlefield.
