       | Fascinating. Built on a firsthand account by Lord Byron's
       | grandfather? Everyone writing nautical and adventure fiction in
       | the era would have been aware of this, though I had no idea. Kind
       | of an early post-truth type situation as well. Just goes to show
       | there's nothing new under the sun, as usual.
