Congratulations on putting together Edward’s personal story with more information about these first two ships that he sailed in. It makes for a really interesting read. I do hope you can follow this up in future.
Plans to blow up Wolf Rock are taking a while to come to fruition.

I was particularly engaged by the tribute to Mr. Smith, “Smee” as we called him. Though I went on to read history Smee inspired my love of poetry and English literature. and it has never left me. I have such fond memories of him and his wife.
