There's an exciting project to reconstruct the Lenox, a 70-gun third rater built in 1678 in Deptford. Can you imagine sailing in a full-size replica Restoration ship of the line?

Fubbs the yacht was scrapped in 1781, of course; Madam Carwell wasn't scrapped by Charles II, but remained in high favour until his death.
She returned to France and died in Paris on 14 November 1734, aged 85.

I always love Charles II's yacht Fubbs, named for the plumptastic Louise de Kerouaille. Designed by Phineas Pett and built in 1682 at Greenwich, Fubbs was ketch-rigged and underwent several rebuilds. She was scrapped in 1781

If I were the time-traveller, I'd take Charles II shopping for furniture and fabrics (the time machine's big, right?) He'd know all the best shops, the most exquisite fashions, and he'd be great company - fun and interesting!
