Headed off to the Plymouth Museum and library to see what Naval Records and information they might have and was hoping to track down some more information on some of the ships that left from here. Managed to get upset a group of Chinese ladies who were holding a New Years get together in the china and pottery room. Was underwhelmed with the reference to Australian emigration in the Port displays - almost as pissweak as the stuff on the Mayflower.
Found a couple of good books in the library but nothing totally outstanding.
Afterwards I wandered through town and found myself in a chippie - how I don't know. The lure of fried goodness perhaps weakening my resolve to try and eat a bit more healthily today. As I heaped chip and batter and overcooked fish into my gob I vowed never again... well we'll see.
