In reality, though, the Cutty Sark was this:
And her owner was Jock "White Hat" Willis. Part businessman, part pirate, all class act.
How can a man with that hat and that beard *not* be a class act? |
A man who married a woman with "dangerous eyes" |
Totally worthy of an ancestor named for his fashion sense |
Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee.

I have never heard of Cutty Sark scotch. But if I have whisky I shall raise an ounce in support of your invocation. Sliante.
Wow! What illustrious company you keep! That is really quite cool!
Miss you!!!
(yes, this is Nemeria. Google ate my account and I can't find it!)
GOML! ~ It's a mid-shelf brand and quite good, I'm told. Scotch makes me gag, so I can't vouche for it myself. However! I poured some grey goose and toasted the old man. I appreciate your joining us, regardless of the libation.
Gamina ~ Interestingly enough, I first heard of White Hat Willis and the ship, the Cutty Sark, from Rex. I think he'd approve, don't you? ;)
A beautiful and fitting tribute. Hugs and toasts all around. Hear, hear.
GSH ~ Thank you. Have passed the hugs and the toasts along to a very appreciative Lithus.
