  3. Gorgeous – I do like the idea that the Argentine navy stage a sneak attack, sail into Killala, land troops who march into Foxford and claim it on behalf of Argentina – but this is cool too.

  4. Lots of Irish mercenaries fighting for the Brazilian Emperor Don Pedro met their end because of Admiral Brown.

  5. The argentines – a great bunch of lads. Whenever they hear you’re Irish you hear about their great great great grandfather that was Irish (we had a taxi driver that didn’t speak a lick of English be proud of his “O’higgins” family”

    I think this boat is one of their training boats- remember seeing it moored off the frou frou area in Buenos Aires
