In door no. 22 we return to the Netherlands and visit another VOC ship. Namely the VOC Amsterdam

VOC Amsterdam by Ashu Mathura 2014

More about her here:

The Amsterdam embarked on its first and last voyage from the Dutch island of Texel to the East Indies in 1749, after two attempts had failed - unsuccessfully due to adverse winds. But nothing went as it should. Not only did the 203-strong crew on board have to contend with a series of violent storms, but a mutiny apparently broke out in between. To make matters worse, many crew members had already died of yellow fever, but it was probably the plague after all, whereupon the sailors began to drink excessively to prevent them from dying too.

The Amsterdam's fate was grim indeed when she lost her rudder on entering Pevensey Bay harbour, leaving her defenceless against the merciless storm. Captain Klump, desperate to save his precious cargo, dropped anchor on the coast of Bulverhythe where, remarkably, much of the keel remains to this day.

At the lowest of spring tides, the ship’s ribs are exposed, and she emerges from her peaty sand grave. From top to bottom the wreck in 1969, below in 1984 and then 2021. She is still in good condition.

A replica of the ship was built in the Netherlands between 1985 and 1990 by around 400 volunteers according to the plans of the original Amsterdam, but is historically incorrect in many respects. The craftsmen used iroko wood for the hull and orientated themselves on shipbuilding techniques of the 18th century.

However, some modifications had to be made due to modern shipbuilding regulations: In addition to using tropical wood instead of oak for the hull and decks, the deck height was adjusted so that you can stand almost upright. The frames were also glued together and the ladders were replaced by stairs. The ship was transferred to Amsterdam and is moored here near the Amsterdam Maritime Museum; it can be visited as a museum ship.

Why does the darkling always looks so done in the books?😂😂

If you had lived as long as he had, then you would be too.

BBC6 Music interview - may 22, 2018 (x)

I was looking up Diluc's age for fic plotting and came across an article with like the actual fucking worst info on all playable character ages, like literally half of the characters are just "young man/woman" or they're labeled as "unknown" when you can literally look up the genshin timeline and find their actual ages somewhere. Zhongli is literally the only correct age at over 6000. I am losing my mind. Kaveh is almost thirty and older than Alhaitham but he's labelled as "graduate student" but Alhaitham gets "suggested to be older than most." This is awful. I need there to be a comment section. I need to know I'm not alone. What the fuck.

Eternal Life and The Light of God

1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life. It was shining like crystal and was flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the street of the city. The tree of life was on each side of the river. It produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of all the nations. 3 Nothing that God judges guilty will be in that city. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and God’s servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. 5 There will never be night again. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light. And they will rule as kings forever and ever. — Revelation 22:1-5 | New Century Version (NCV) The Holy Bible, New Century Version®. Copyright © 2005 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Mary and Francis

Per mille volte ben trovata sia

Ipolita gentil, caro mio bene,

Viva speranza, dolce vita mia,

Deh guarda quel che a riveder ti viene;

Deh fagli udir la tuo dolce armonia,

Dà questo rifrigerio alle suo pene!

Se 'l tuo bel canto gli fara' sentire,

Allor allor contento è di morire.

(Agnolo Ambrogini named Poliziano, XII, "Per mille volte ben trovata sia", from "Rime", 1495)

While typing up the previous post I just realized a common trait shared across all my favourites and that... their self-preservation is Broken, they're self-sacrificial, they all think it'd be better to endanger themselves for the sake of the people they care about. Head in hands... I set myself up for Pain when all my faves are running head first into death's door.
