A Few Odds and Ends from Around the Web

This is my first “Odds and Ends” post where I report on miscellaneous sites and topics that I find in my searches for other topics. I usually post these sites on the Links page, but that page gets very few visits.

• The Mystery of Davy Jones' Locker!
For whatever it is worth. The Mystery of Pirates of Davy Jones' Curse is a comic strip that is a re-script of the first panel of an underwater Charlton love story.

• The Art of Paper Model Instructions
The article discusses how instructions for paper models have evolved through the years.

• Cartoon Scrapbook
The cartoon Scrapbook summarizes many long-gone cartoons. The site lists the cartoons characters, lists its episodes, and displays scenes from these bygone episodes.

• Spanish Ships, their Parts, Wrecks and Treasures
Interesting one page site geared toward children on the topic of “Spanish Ships, their Parts, Wrecks and Treasures”.

For your Viewing Enjoyment: A Spanish Galleon the Neptune

The Pirates Galleon offers four pages of some striking images of a pirate’s galleon. The ship was built from plans from an original Spanish galleon and was built for the production of Roman Polanski’s movie “Pirates”. The Spanish galleons were some of the largest vessels built and some were very ornate. I doubt that a pirate ship would be this ornate, unless or course, the pirates had commandeered the vessel from its original owners.
