Investment Opportunity

Leaving shortly for the coast of Fyfe, the barque Ouzel, taking a Cargo of Ales, Wine and Spirits, including both Scotch Whisky and Rum, and desirous of returning with mixed Cargo, including exotic herbs and native produce. Bonds are available in multiples of five guineas, redeemable on one, three and five year terms from these offices.
The Ouzel, will be mastered by MrP, who has never lost a ship under his command and is a most experienced mariner of the harbours and inlets of said Fyfe. First mate will be MrJS, recently returned from most hazardous voyages on the coast of Nairnshire.
Fair winds allowing, the Ouzel intends to depart after victualling from the port of Granton, shortly after High Water, Sunday 19th of the month.
