The Azores-based researchers and educators, Sea-Water Amplification (SWA), have been (re)publishing some of my old writing on the sea and seafaring.
Let them know what you think — and maybe support them too, if you're inclined.

We should all know the name Ann Burgess.
Much of the techniques and methodology of modern day criminology stemmed from her: FBI Mind hunter profiling, how to interview victims, co-founding r*pe crisis centers & much more.
Today, she is working on a study about missing & murdered indigenous women.

I'm a big fan of these brown signs in France - not just historic places but also local produce, customs & intangible heritage. I'd love to see them in the UK - I reckon @vchlondon.bsky.social, with our networks of local knowledge across England, could do a great job! #history #heritage #local #place

Check out this load of old bobbins!
The crew of the Mary Rose used them to store their sewing kits (thread around the spindle, needles and pins in a hollow space at the end), which they would use to repair their clothes, as well as the ship's sails, if they got damaged.
