What is the connection between the SS Great Britain, Lundy Is and Dr Livingstone?

 

[damo]

Clue:

 

[Sneds]

Dr Livingstone was on the SS Great Britain, anchored off Lundy waiting for the tide to go up to Bristol, after a hearty dinner of Oxtail and lashings of red wine, when the time came to leave ,the anchor snagged and he used his new fangled Stanley knife to cut the warp, setting the ship free?

SS Great Britain was abandoned in Port Stanley before being recovered back to Bristol.

Livingstone was found by Stanley after being lost in Africa

Fredc Smith dropped his Stanley knife overboard from his folkboat as he got tossed around in overfalls near Stanley Bank North East from Lundy. (Luckilly had that chart in my drawer under the bed) /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
