To take the King’s shilling meant to agree to be recruited for @RoyalNavy
Unscrupulous recruiters would drop a shilling in a beer, by the time the man noticed it was too late. Landlords got wise & began serving beer in glass bottom tankards, hence the term ‘Bottoms Up!’ to check.

#OnThisDay 1844 @RoyalNavy directed that Larboard be replaced by the word Port to refer to the left side of a ship. Larboard came from ladeboard (loading) which was usually done on the left as the steering oar or 'Steerboard' was on the right, later and still known as Starboard.

#OnThisDay 1805 @RoyalNavy was successful in defeating the Franco-Spanish Fleet at the Battle of #Trafalgar confirming British superiority of the seas. Lord Nelson died before the end, having done his duty, handing over Command to another great commander Admiral Collingwood.

Today the @Ridingschapter patched in the Provincial Grand Master for the Province of Yorkshire, West Riding as an honorary member. They also made a donation of £500 towards the MCF 2028 Festival. The “patching in ceremony” took place at Castle Grove, Leeds.
A great piece on Freemasonry published by @pgl_york. Thanks @BBCYorkshire! Dispelling the myths and telling people what #Freemasonry is really about is our mission here. It's easier to slay a dragon than it is to kill a myth 🤔 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hu…
