HMS Alert during the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876, led by Sir George Nares. The walrus is fine! It is not deceased! As the caption at the Royal Collection Trust explains, this photograph shows "a man poking a prostrate walrus with a pole."

Gotta love the Brits right now, enjoying the Northern Lights for the first time at home.

Shame that they're acting as if nobody else can see them right now, or ever...

Goodbye to steam. This is 1958 and British Railways are racing ahead with its modernisation plans.

Royal Naval uniform: pattern 1836.

White cotton twill trousers with a satin finish. Fall-front with four metal button fastenings, worn by Lieutenant Horatio James (died 1850), later Commander. The flap fastens with two additional buttons. There is a fob pocket in the waistband. The pocket flaps also fasten with metal buttons, but are separate from the flap. There are four buttons along the top for braces. At the back there is one button on either side of the gusset to secure braces. The central back gusset also had two eyelets on either side with cotton tape to adjust the fit. (NMM).

King George IV died on 26th June 1830. A fortnight later his brother, William IV, ordered that the collars and cuffs of the dress coats of [Royal Navy] commissioned officers should be changed from white to scarlet, that three buttons should be placed under each of the pocket flaps, and that no gold lace should be worn on the trousers. His Majesty also gave breeches a final kick in the seat by decreeing that they should no longer be worn at king's or queen's drawing-rooms. Thus they made their exit from the naval officer's wardrobe.

[...] Trousers, however, remained problem garments. 'Doubts appearing to be entertained' as to when to wear white and when to wear blue, His Majesty was 'graciously pleased to command' that on all occasions of full dress officers should wear white trousers between 1st May and 14th October and blue trousers between 15th October and 30th April. In undress the decision was left to to the weather and the officer concerned, as it had been in the past.

I am looking for new people to talk to/keep me busy! I live in the UK (if you do too great, if not that’s fine i’m happy to talk to anyone and everyone!) I play a lot of games on my Xbox and PC and my Switch! I enjoy horror movies and stuff, and I’m always down to share pet pictures and memes! I love to have in depth conversations and very interested in peoples hobbies/lifestyles! I am soon to be a father (like very soon, say maybe in a couple weeks time my child could be here lol) so i’d love to meet parents to discuss parenting stuff with! Hit me up, i will always try and get back when i can :)
