The RCM makes the most number and beautiful ship coins... lucky you, sis, to have that all available to you. I like the gold-gilded privy on the silver coin and likewise love the circulating coin. I bet you have a lot of those in a jar. the design is really very nice.
Hehehe... for me too, sis... that is the longest COA I have ever seen. The most extensive COA that I personally have is the US Capitol Silver Dollar Commemorative, and the 2014 UK SS Gairosoppa Britannia Silver coin. Both came with a COA- brochure of many pages !
I finally got to see your HS Shannon. I was wondering where it was in your queue of silver to show! Thanks for sharing, sis.
Have an exciting weekend (you weekend) my lovely sis @kerrislarenvill. Take care🥰🌺🤙 and xoxo 🤗💕💋!

I didn't exactly know what to write other than the Vital Statistics of the actual ship.
Preserved with the events around the HMS Shannon is the wealth of information not only noted in Captain Broke’s log but also in the form of; archived Newsprint, artwork, Official accounts reported and documented by the Officers and Governmental offices, prison records, grave records. Also were the personal memoirs of observers and witnesses around Boston Harbor, accounts and diaries of the surviving members of both crews.
With a trove of information, the climatic battle between the HMS Shannon and the USS Chesapeake can be re-enacted blow by blow detail. Several novels sprung from this naval engagement based on the point of view of fictional crew members.
I'm exhausted after this article, humming and hawing for two weeks picking over all the background information.
Thanks for your support Sis, always, with love 🤗 🌺 💝
