I failed dismally - I could recognise Popeye, two Horatios, two Hiscocks, a Drake, Mr. Ransome (by his 'tache) and erm, thats about it.

Edit - make that one Horatio - just realised the other one has 2 arms, hence must be some other bloke....

'scuse me - see my post timed 20:14.

BTW I once met a man who had crewed for Tilman aboard Mischief on a trip to the Arctic. I said I supposed it must have been a bit spartan on board; his only reply was to raise his eyebrows and shudder.
