Hi Hank,

now I am waiting for you asking after some allied ships damaged in the great storm

Servus

Hi Uwe,You are always ahead of me, that is a compliment to you.

I have looked as far as possible to see what ships i could use. Some of the Revell American Steamships (maybe a little later than 1856) will do as wrecks close to shore.Be "smashed up" a little to mask their identity.Plus one of these should get away with it for representing older Russian ship.

Hi Hanks,

thanks for the flowers, but you are ahead of me with the railway

BTW, there are around 30 books about the Crimean war on Google books.

cheers
Uwe
