I'm sorry about the loss of your Father Trigg. In the Navy, when we lost a fellow sailor, we had a prayer for them. It goes like this: Quote: No more a Watch to stand, Old Sailor. For you are drifting on an ebbing tide. Eight Bells have rung. Dog Watch is done. A new Berth awaits you on the other side. Your Ship is anchored in God's Harbor. And though his sailors are of equal rank, there'll be Shipmates on the deck to greet you, and Pipe, as you ascend the Plank. Her boilers are full head of steam. Cargo stowed, and Galley stored. Just waiting to get underway. When the last Hand comes aboard. Look sharp! That Hand is you, Old Sailor. And you'll be sailing out on Heavenly Seas. So may the wind be ever at your back. Fairweather. And God speed! The Watch has been Assumed on the Decks of which you leave.

My mum was born in 1933. When my parents decided to emigrate, they tossed up between Australia and Canada. Australia won, but for this challenge, Canada wins. Exact match first.
