One of our goals here at the Fleet Society is to expand our membership far and wide. Until recently we had 144 members from 24 US states and, in addition, Canada (Nova Scotia), Puerto Rico (an unincorporated US Territory) and the Cayman Islands (a self-governing British Oversees Territory).
In January, we added Spain to our index of countries. Now we can add Australia to that list. The Society is pleased to welcome Jeremy Watherston who just moved from Sydney to Nightcliff, NT (Northern Territory), Australia. Nightcliff (pop. 3,853 est.), is a northern suburb of Darwin. It is located on Beagle Gulf (named after the famous HMS Beagle). Our newest member is an avid scuba diver, a novice numismatist, and has a passion for shipwrecks and pirate history. He joined the Society to increase his knowledge of all things Fleet related and to enhance his numismatic education along the way.
Currently Jeremy works in forensic science and operates one of the state’s Forensic Biology Units. We are delighted to welcome Jeremy to the Society as our 145th member and to add another country (actually, a continent as well) to our ever growing membership list.
