It is not generally known in the English speaking world that it was an
Italian navigator who gave his name to America! That is one of the
interesting facts I learned when I had the pleasure of going on board
the Tall Ship Amerigo Vespucci which arrived in Dublin last month
(having sailed from St Malo). Those Italian sailors certainly know how
to lay on a party. We had an extraordinary night with wonderful food
and wines served by some of the friendliest naval personnel I have
ever met! The dessert too was as tasty as it was grand but
it didn't
take long before it was completely demolished by Officers and Crew in the meleé which followed! Thank you Captain for a wonderful evening.
