Mazz Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Paints were a very precious quantity in the good old days, and British merchants could make a young fortune supplying paints to the colonies. One company sent a clipper ship full of red paint across the ocean. It had the very bad luck to collide with another ship full of blue paint. As a result of this disaster, both crews were... marooned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
