Ann (1797 ship)

Ann (or Anne) was built of teak in Batavia in 1797. How she came into British hands is currently unclear. In 1809 she made a voyage transporting convicts to New South Wales for the British government. On her return voyage she carried cargo for the British East India Company (EIC) from Calcutta to London. She then became a West Indiaman, trading between London and Jamaica.

Convict transport and EIC voyage (1809-1811)

Ann left Spithead on 25 August 1809, under the command of Captain Charles Clarke. She arrived at Port Jackson on 21 June. Before his departure, Clarke received a letter of marque on 21 June 1809.Ann stopped in at Rio de Janeiro around 15 November and arrived at Port Jackson on 17 or 27 February 1810.

Ann transported 200 male convicts, but unloaded two before departure. One died on the way and she landed 197 in Sydney. A detachment of the 73rd Regiment of Foot provided the guard. Among her passengers were the Reverend Samuel Marsden and the Maori chief Ruatara.

After she left Port Jackson Ann sailed for Bengal, and was at Calcutta by 21 September 1810. Homeward bound, she passed Saugor on 24 November, reached St Helena on 20 February 1811, and on 26 April was at East India Dock, in London.

Pigpen

A pigpen is literally a pen that holds pigs, also known as a sty. Pigpen may refer to:

Pig-Pen

"Pig-Pen" is a character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. He is a young boy who is, except on very rare occasions, very dirty.

History

"Pig-Pen" is a nickname, invariably written in quotation marks in the strip. In the character's first appearance on July 13, 1954, in a strip directly parodying the first chapter of Lord of the Flies, he declares, "I haven't got a name ... people just call me things ... real insulting things." If he does have a real name, it is never mentioned. In a 2000 Gallup Poll "Pig-Pen" was found to be the fifth most popular Peanuts character.

"Pig-Pen" is known for his perpetually filthy overalls and the cloud of dirt and dust that follows him wherever he goes. When he takes a deep breath (to sing, for example), the dust rises briefly around him. He sometimes refers to the cloud that surrounds him with pride as the dust of ancient civilizations. He cannot seem to rid himself of the dust for more than the briefest of periods — indeed, in spite of his best efforts, it appears that he cannot stay clean. He is referred to in an early strip as the only person who can get dirty while walking in a snowstorm. Nevertheless, on rare occasions he has very briefly appeared clean, and hence unrecognizable. Once this was in order to impress Violet, of whom he was a bit fond. On another occasion (September 6, 1954), he managed to keep one side of his body clean and presented this clean side to Patty, causing her to believe that he was completely clean.

Miss 600

Miss 600 are an English musical duo from Derby composed of Hannah Garner (vocals) and David Amar (drums, lead guitar, bass guitar). Their songs are influenced by genres such as jazz, blues and R&B.

Background

Initially Hannah and David spent time gigging around the local Derby area, while at the same time Hannah had also started her own YouTube channel onto which she loaded tracks of herself singing a capella renditions of various covers into a web cam. So well received were these little amateur videos that not only had hundreds of thousands of fans viewed them, but four thousand actually subscribed to the channel. And Hannah was only 17 years old at the time.David comes from a musical family and had been playing drums in his father s latin/Jazz band Solar Latino since aged 13,as well as going to weekly regular jams since the age of 10 ,where he diversified into playing Bass and guitar too. Within a few months the pair had been spotted playing at an open mic night at Ryans Bar in Derby by local Nottingham producers Christopher Bucknall and Robert de Fresnes. Chris and Robert were impressed enough to sign the duo to their Cubit Recordings label during the Autumn of 2010 and began working with them to help develop their sound and image and so Miss 600 was born.
