<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 6934657, member: 5833&quot;]What in the world does Morgan mean by an ancient Briton with curricle &amp; spear?&nbsp; Before looking up <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curricle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curricle" rel="nofollow">curricle</a>, I expected it to be a shield of basket work, not what I found.&nbsp; Could he have meant &#039;coracle&#039;?&nbsp; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracle" rel="nofollow">Wiki</a> to the rescue again:&nbsp; Other historical English spellings include <i>corougle</i>, <i>corracle</i>, <b><i>curricle</i></b> and <i>coricle</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>So OP&#039;s vessel was probably made in Belgium, expressly for Scott&#039;s.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t appear to have been quite as indestructible as Morgan would have us believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, what about CWS?&nbsp;&nbsp; The letter W is not really used in Romance languages, but perhaps in Flemish?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
