While most of the United States recognizes July 4th as Independence Day, enlightened Americans also know that the awesomeness of the day is compounded by the fact that C.S. Forester gave one Horatio Hornblower the birthdate July 4, 1776. So, even if you don't hail from Columbia, if you are among those who count Horatio Hornblower as a favorite (and, by virtue of the fact that you're here, I assume that you do...

), you have a reason to join in the celebrations! Unity through Hornblower! Huzzah!

Happy July 4th everyone! (And happy birthday, Horatio!)

shipoftheline: Hello linddewi05! Welcome aboard. After all these years we haven't agreed on the answer to your question. LOL Jan 21, 2018 21:13:22 GMT

Ensign Sandra: We probably won't see much color on the way to Salem, and if we take the ferry, none at all. Airport shuttle is a convenience, but I wouldn't let it be the deciding factor. It's easy-peasy to get the T in from Logan. Apr 27, 2019 2:22:44 GMT

HMSCody: Shipmates, I was just idly wondering if a remote group viewing of "The Fire Ships" would be useful right about now... Mar 23, 2020 15:51:51 GMT

Happy Birthday, Horatio!
