How could it possibly cost £116 (including railcard discount!) to pop from Oxford to Taunton for a day @nationalrailenq? First job for you to get sorted, I think, @10DowningStreet?

Thanks @goteborgsuni for letting me present my book last week!

Summary: England & Sweden’s diplomatic & commercial relationship was the most pivotal of the 17th century

Feel free to try and prove me wrong but you’ll have to read it here first! 😁

@Prof_Murdoch @SSNEdatabase It was an honour to be asked, and I’m delighted to see my first bit of work reach the wider world! Will be having a dram tonight!

@CMaclean96 @hunterian Would love to see this photo but with a Charles III sovereign!

[Edward Shattock @edwardshattock]

@CMaclean96 @DrFrancisYoung Very interesting, makes perfect sense. Thanks.

[Edward Shattock @edwardshattock]

@CMaclean96 @KristensenZenen @CMaclean96 Have spent a lot of time researching touch pieces in the past but never heard about the white ribbon. Very interesting! Do you know why they picked white and if any particular fabric was used?

[Edward Shattock @edwardshattock]

@AdamGeorgie You might find this one interesting @AdamGeorgie! By Peter J. Bejant if the photo isn’t clear.

@BenjaminRedding @gloucesterwreck @HistoricalJnl @LeverhulmeTrust @clairejowitt @uniofeastanglia @UEA_History @UEAResearch @NorwichCastle @HUM_ResearchUEA @Prof_Murdoch and @JackAbernethy might interest you both too!

@Prof_Murdoch @AdamGeorgie @jakob_seerup @MatsDjurberg @thevasamuseum @Sjohistoriska @GlobalMarHist @Maritime1400 @GMC_Greenwich @muller_leos @Prof_Murdoch Fantastic, thank you. That’ll be a fun read on the train to Oxford this week!

@Prof_Murdoch @AdamGeorgie @jakob_seerup @MatsDjurberg @thevasamuseum @Sjohistoriska @GlobalMarHist @Maritime1400 @GMC_Greenwich @muller_leos And looking forward to this one as well!

@Prof_Murdoch @AdamGeorgie @jakob_seerup @MatsDjurberg @thevasamuseum @Sjohistoriska @GlobalMarHist @Maritime1400 @GMC_Greenwich @muller_leos I don’t recall seeing them, so would be very grateful if you could! Will certainly start looking into Douglas and Buchan! Should add an interesting dimension!

@Prof_Murdoch @AdamGeorgie @jakob_seerup @MatsDjurberg @thevasamuseum @Sjohistoriska @GlobalMarHist @Maritime1400 @GMC_Greenwich @muller_leos Thanks Steve! Primarily shipwrights, but anybody who contributed to the overall ‘ship’. Loose definition so can include weaponry (as I’ll be looking at this within the scope of the Mil Rev), navigational aids, etc., so long as it marked an improvement from preceding designs.

[Edward Shattock @edwardshattock]

@Prof_Murdoch Found a couple references in Google Books, although I think you’re more than familiar with one of them alongside @LinguaLexy!

[Edward Shattock @edwardshattock]

@Prof_Murdoch The only thing I know of that is vaguely relevant is the Swedish leather gun/cannon. Used in the Swedish-Polish War by G II Adolf and discontinued in the 1630s. I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that it was designed and adapted by Swedish inventors though!
