Down the river to #Greenwich to see ships & fans, pies & pints.
A good day.

Just had an apologetic email from #NationalMaritimeMuseum.
"Sorry, we do not have the staff resources research your question.
"However, here is a pdf of a relevant letter. [Which answers my query!] And links to useful #BritishLibrary resources. And to another relevant research source. Here's a list of books we've got that you'll need. We've also got a research guide on the #EIC which will help. Also come and see us."Pretty damned impressed with this.

So that's the #BritishMuseum lined up for my trip to #London. Just waiting to hear back from #NationalMaritimeMuseum and the #FanMuseum, both in #Greenwich, so there's a boat trip in my future.
I'm being blown away by how helpful #museums staff are; I'm not an academic, just A Woman of No Importance #writing a book, but the wealth of information available is staggering. One thing the pandemic did was to academically enfranchise us provincials: Zoom lectures, scanned documents. Brilliant.
