“Old Cuddy” is a spin-off to my regular blog, “The Joyful Molly”. I felt that Admiral Lord Collingwood deserves a blog in his honour, especially in 2010, which sees the 200th return of his day of death. All his great military achievements aside, I mainly admire him for his qualities as a decent, honourable man. We don’t have enough of his kind nowadays.
Miss Molly Joyful - no, not really. But on the internet, nobody knows that you're a dog. ;-)
I use wordpress mainly as an inventory of information about the Royal Navy, British history, art, music, politics, daily life and fashion in the 18th century. I do this because I’m a geek, because I have fun with it and because I can.

Hi Just wondered if you had seen these?
Brilliant!!
Yes, they are fantastic! I’ve already posted them to my regular blog when they came out, but I’ll definitely promote them here on “Old Cuddy” as well. :)
It’s amazing what people contribute…
Hey Captain Rotheram (notice I’ve learned to spell your name right), do I remember correctly that you did some drawings for the collingwood2010 website?
Someone (supposedly) called Rotheram did indeed do a cartoon of the Admiral dropping acorns which appeared in the official Collingwood 2010 Festival publication and has been reproduced on the Festival website http://www.collingwood2010.co.uk/young_tars.php#Acorns
As indeed the discussion evolved on this blog however, I wonder if this was the cartoonist’s real name (bit of a coincidence if so) or (more likely) someone having a sly dig at Collingwood for the way in which he treated Rotheram?
Not sure if there’s any more pictures… maybe he’s reading this and will oblige??
