This is cool. I found a whole bunch of images on Wikipedia too. But did you
notice there are no women? Not even one! Every time I think I've spotted
one, I realize it's just a man in poofy pants. *grumble*... There must have
been *some* kind of woman, at *some* point, who came on one of those ships!
:-P
But thanks!
