A number of people seem to be having stressful days after unrestful nights, so I thought I’d share this photo of Vice Admiral Finnegan Nimoy Reginald Kirkpatrick, Earl of Barkington, at the start of his naval career. May you find sustenance in this early capturing of he who started from such humble, floppy-eared log-walking-by-the-shore beginnings, but would later become a decorated officer and hero of the sea, respected and beloved by all who know him.
Actual picture of my dad, Rupert Miller, in a sailor suit, about 100 years ago. He went on to a career of over 40 years in the navy, retiring as an admiral.
@hollie Foraging for material for a future flagship at an early age. Perhaps this was the keel for the SS Fetchastick…or the more famouser SS Frisbeesides.
Regardless, this historic photo needs more intense puppery level research. We could enlist the help of a certain three letter “agency” to dig up some archival bones.
