Tough quiz! I will have to pay more attention to Tudor naval matters! As always though, the quiz was educational.
I’m lucky I got the two I did. It was all guesswork!

I can’t believe how badly I did on that! A shameful performance after growing up in a Navy town…

Believe me, I didn’t know much before I read up on it either!
I got ‘Poor-oh dear you can do better than this’…oh no I can’t, had 2 shots at it, lol 🙂
