Ahoy Shipmates!!!


Welcome to the kick off of a new column here at MSW Namesakes. We will learn the faces behind a ships name. Why a certain person, place, or thing was used to name a ship. Sit, sit back enjoy and if you wish to know about any certain ship, let me know.

Coming soon...Resolute

Shoot me off some ideas of what you might like to see.
