Saw these at the corner of Queen Street/Manor Street in #Bridlington, a #postbox topper with #Lobster Capital on. These are really great and I do love seeing them when walking around, and they're becoming more popular as more and more interesting ideas are knitted together.

Attacked by U-boats, wrecked off the south coast of England, used as a hulk in Plymouth then renamed Arcadian and sent back to sea. Can you help me trace the history of this ship and those who sailed on her? #hmhsasturias #hospitalship #wwi #shipwreck #uboat #asturias #plymouth

Submariners from #HMNBClyde made the pilgrimage to Bridgend in south Wales to honour forebears lost in #WW2 boat HMS Urge.
She was adopted by Bridgenders who raised £300k - £35m today - but was lost to a mine off Malta in April 1942. @RNinScotland
