Most important person on the ship you ask? The captain might call the shots, but not much work gets done on an empty belly! will need to be able to provide for up to 60 people. That requires coordination and much potato peeling!😉

Happy Birthday Balzac! Born today in 1799, you illustrated the lives of your characters in post-Napoleonic France in glorious detail and many regard you as the father of literary realism. One of my favourites is Le Père Goriot

And it was Maria Sibylla Merian, a German-born naturalist, who documented Metamorphosis for the first time.
In 1799, she sailed to Suriname from Europe looking for insects - something no ladies were permitted to do back then.The results were a spectacular treasure for Science!

VAMPIRE BATS. Bats are not found in very early lore but the Spanish came back from the New World with stories of blood-sucking bats. Buffon named them 'vampire bats' in 1774 & Darwin popularised them in 1832 sketching them in Chile.
