    Oliver Cromwell as a boat vs. The vengeful and unforgiving Eire supported by her sea shores.

    One can guess what his motives were for buying a boat bearing that name.

    He was the only leader to deliver as close to a Republic that England has ever seen. The Royal Wedding wouldn't have happened under his watch.

    Of course


    Sure they weren't even born when he died

    It's not particularly historic, or steam driven, just a barge with some bits stuck on to make look vaguely like a Mississippi paddler.

    He was obsessed with over throwing the monarchy and creating a republic and didn't mind slaughtering innocent people in the process.

    I'm surprised the shinners hate him so much :pac:

    :D So many myths about him too. Cromwell was no more brutal than other leaders back then.
