MJ's little flock

I didn't take a breakfast photo but I have been enjoying taking tea with my tea pet and I don't think I have shared this teapot yet.

I think my water buffalo needs a name. Any suggestions?

All I can think of is Fred Flintstone and the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes. So Fred.

The official name for water buffalo is Bubalus bubalis (according to the oracle at Google).
So how about calling him/her Bubba?
 
Good evening MJ and everyone 😊

The big ship is quite interesting. It's called Santiago and was built in 1856 in Scotland. It's an iron hulled sailing barque and is thought to be the oldest in existence. It was added to the graveyard in 1945.

That's very interesting, thank you for sharing.


The wooden one with the tree growing in it is called Dorothy H Sterling and was built in 1920 in Portland Oregon and was seized for non-payment of port fees in 1929 (the depression). The harbours board offered it at auction but bids failed to reach the reserve and it ended up sold to a ship breaker. In 1936 she was put in the graveyard and unemployed people were welcome to help themselves to the ship's timber for firewood. A very short-lived ship, but at least she kept people warm.

There are several more we didn't get to because the conditions weren't great. Maybe next time.


Such a sad story, doomed before it could go anywhere 😞, it's good that it could be used for warmth.
