Looks like your time away from the forum was well spent. Very good silvers and a ship to sail away into the abyss. :Y: :D
I'll try not to hit the abyss too quikly just yet gda... too much silver still out there that's meant to be mine lol :p
on target still now for 1 silver a week for 2021 (I'd be happy to get 52 for the year) :Y:

Interesting little cutter ship you have there Silver.
Just wondering why / who made it and to which ARGO gaffer cutter rig it was referred to.
Taking a punt i`d choose the 3rd one down Link below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_(ship)

She disappeared in 1814 off the coast of Tasmania aft
er having been "run away with" by convicts.

And that's how Silvers ancestory roots arrived in QLD :playful: nice find Silver :Y: family heirloom maybe :lol:

I had all the silvers by around 10 minutes in and had thought " I should just finish up and go home" .... tough slog and 2 hours later.... looked like I was right.
Should listen to that inner voice..... after all... I parked right next to the silver at one of my favorite spots (should'a done under the car too :eek: )
