Number 6 is, I think, HMS Beagle, with Mr Darwin pictured. A voyage of discovery if ever there was one.

Errr, no. I thought there were two Queen Mary vessels....so assumed the second one was 'mark 2'. I may ofc be completely wrong and you posting that means I probably am. I promise to kick myself when you reveal answers

Good shout Mark. I agree.....couldnt think of the name.

8 is the Mayflower (cracking quiz)

Then 1 might be the Golden Hind but looks a tad on the large size

QUICKFEET

7) QE2

Not from me!

Tikay10

Pfft.

MAXALLY

Apart from spelling the 1st one wrong, and unlike Tikay, not being around in Charles Darwin days, not a bad effort from me.

Cheers QF.
