80% - that was a fun quiz. One question I would have liked to have been asked: Which captain was most famous for surviving a mutiny that was not his fault? Answer: Captain William Bligh. Set adrift with his officers and some loyal crew in a longboat, he successfully navigated the tiny craft through thousands of miles of open ocean to safety. He later became an early governor of Australia (surviving a coup run by corrupt local millionaires!) and was eventually promoted to admiral. Thanks for sharing - love your quiz!
