I'm watching a programme on BBC Scotland about famous ships that were built on the Clyde in Glasgow. It sounds really boring, but is actually quite fascinating.  Anyway, I found out that the famous Confederacy blockade runner of the American Civil War, the Robert E. Lee, was actually built in Glasgow. It was first called The Giraffe, and was one of the fastest ocean-going paddle steamers of its time. That's all.  |

That's cool. When we were in Scotland we only had time to spend one night in Glascow. I wish we could've done more exploring.

I just learned a few days ago that Texas once had a Navy.
