Seafaring Sunday: First Fleet

May 13, 1787:  A flotilla of 11 ships, with over 1,300 men, women and children - including 700 convicts and their children - set out from Plymouth, England headed for Botany Bay, Austalia.  Triple P wishes all you seafaring Moms a Happy Mother's Day!

I suppose it depends on your perspective. The ship is lovely either way...
