Intro: Hello Fediverse! I'm a life long historical miniatures gamer looking for a like minded community. My interests include #Ancients, #AgeOfSail, #Ironclads, and #18thCenturyConflicts.

I also dabble in #Scalemodels specifically #CardModels of ships.

In "Sharpe's Trafalgar" the titular protagonist travels on a British navy ship of the line and we get various descriptions of the cavernous bowels of the ship, filled with fetid airs and scurrying rats - as well as this line:
