It would not let me log in.
It tells me I am not who I think I am. after 80 years I think I do know who I am unless I am forgetting due to an aging mind.

Re: Britain and the seas
Sorry folks, will have to investigate but I think I may have uploaded it as Private rather than public.
As an aside I was watching "Coast" last night, all about the Irish Sea and it revealed to me that the White Star line was a bit of a bogy line.
The built the largest and first ever, iron hulled sailing ship in, of all places, Warrington. It was very luxurious and even had two flushing toilets. It set sail on its maiden voyage from Liverpool to the USA with something like 700 plus passengers, men women and children, bound for the USA and a better life but it was wrecked with a large loss of life on a small island of the coast of Ireland (Irish sea coast). The reason given was that in dark and foggy conditions the crew did not realise that their magnetic compass was being affected by not only the iron in the ships hull but also by the large quantities of iron in its cargo.
