I have a long train ride to see the Algiers-trip folks this afternoon so I’ll be watching the last two episodes of the Baby Yoda Variety Show on the way. And will probably get so engrossed I miss my transfer and stop and end up in Coney Island or Newfoundland probably.

Worth it.

This action was Sir Edward Pellew's last battle. The British had band the Atlantic Slave Trade, but the Dey of Algiers was still trading in Christian slaves. An Anglo/Dutch fleet made him think differently.
