I was involved in lighting the Victorian festival of xmas, and the works certainly looked like they were costing a few quid....amazing ship though, sheer size and build for it's age is stunning

I had my 21st party on board S.V. Carrick http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottishmaritimemuseum/galleries/72157624678749053/

My dad who was a Clyde Pilot, took her down the clyde to the maritime museum that was supposed to look after her.  However somebody turned off the bilge pumps while she was moored and............

Aaah, but who can tell me why it is so called and where the saying comes from "Cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass monkey" eh????

Naval historians are exempt from this question though!

Brassmonkey... device for holding cannonballs so they don't roll around as the ship pitches/rolls. basically a piece of brass with indents into which each ball sat, to make the lower base, the other balls sat on top of the lower rows.

Made of Brass which has a high coeffiecient of expansion compared to iron cannonballs, so as it got colder the brass shrank and the cannonballs became loose and rolled off ...


"Balls off the brassmonkey".. due to severe cold ...  :)

I have no link to the navy at all ... other than we used to give the "Dark Blue" the odd lift around the world ... :)
