A nice detail - the ships' crews were known collectively by the name of the ships…so people would refer to them as the Ark Royals, or the Victories or whatever
So, presumably some of ‘the Endeavours’ became ‘the Sandwiches’
#TodayILearned that Captain Cook’s Endeavour was renamed the ‘Lord Sandwich’ (via @HistoryExtra and @petermoore )

“Who’s going to fix it? Theresa May, who mostly resembles a Quentin Blake drawing of an unravelling postmistress? Boris Johnson, the Cabbage Patch Draco Malfoy, who turned up for about an hour and bottled his big fight? "
I like this. You’ll never guess where I first heard it
RT @slpng_giants: This is a great move by @Amazon.
