Without Googling, that would make the game pointless.

Morning Norfolk I love quizzes although I’m pretty hopeless so I’ll be the first to admit I’ve no idea, have a good day

The only one I can bring to mind is the Pathétique, but I don’t think it belongs to the Fifth.

Yes, The Emperor. Named after Napoleon who at the time was taking on most of Europe.
Thé Lutine Bell is used at Lloyds of London. Thé HMS Lutine sunk with gold bullion on board but where was it sailing from and to ?

I remember reading where it sailed from - my sleepless night hasn’t left my memory almost totally missing - it sailed from Great Yarmouth. No idea where it was sailing to, but sank off Holland IIRC.

Well done, it sailed from Yarmouth heading for Cuxhaven in northern Germany. The bullion being transported was apparently being sent to save the German economy.
Have a go someone, any subject.

I thought that and then thought again, deleted and searched. There was printed news more than century previously. Allegedly.
