USS Constitution vs HMS Java best as I can tell. Just to be a wiseguy I asked the waitress if its for sale. She said not to her knowledge but the owner had bought it about 8-9 years ago from the artist for $3500. I stopped asking questions at that point.

Let me know how that theory of yours works out.

Unless one could see the name of the ship on the stern, it would be almost impossible to tell Java and Guerriere apart from a painting.

Take a Mexican Political Party that demands the return of Texas. Add a Chinese paper exporting operation. Stir in a Countess who made a fortune in cosmetics. And Mix in the CIA and AXE.

The French. No one else really gained anything from the US and the UK beating the snot out of each other.

I think the artist made it intentionally hard to read. The boats on the rear davits are placed just so to make it even harder. The name of the Brit is completely illegible. But after staring at it for a good 5 minutes I came to the conclusion that the Yankee is either Constitution or Chesapeake. By the length of the name, I am leaning towards Constitution.

Edited for stupidity: Sorry, I completely misread your question. The reason I think its Java is because the Brit's name is rather short. But the next time I go there I'll see if I can make it out better.

Edit again: http://www.greatmodernpictures.com/mdwc1.htm

Now I'm thinking she was yanking my chain about the price.

Probably. You must look rich.

If the name is short, Java makes the most sense. Plus, the skies look rather tropical and the Guerriere was fought in the northern hemisphere.

Can't wait for the rematch when Rodgers will smoke them... Not like the Bears can count on 100+ penalty yards ever happening again...

I've had nothing but good average experiences there. Some good times and tomfoolery, but mostly it's another foreign place where I went to spend a night. Not as good as Crete, Calgary or Washington DC. Probably better than Bangor (MA, not NW). Steer clear of the dodgy taxis (some of them) and strip clubs (all of them) and the chances of getting into trouble are reduced.

Recife on the other hand, was scary at night. Plus Cyprus would seem pretty good when my other destination was a mountain based desert airfield with angry men putting on occasional fireworks displays.
