Naval Knickers on the Stage

I think it's worth reviving my occasional series on Naval Knickers to share these splendidly patriotic unmentionables. I came across this image in the National Maritime Museum's Picture Library and am rather at a loss for words!

I'm - lost for words.

Nope - still can't think of anything sensible to say.

Is that a crown and anchor on those long satin gloves?

Who knows? It could be anything. Perhaps it's Nelson's autograph ;)

Lol - I was just about to say, doesn't Horatio look loverly!

ROFL! Wicked XD

They look comfy, and if my 30 years on this earth has taught me anything it's the importance of comfy knickers!

[anteros_lmc]

They do look comfy don't they? Stylish like too! Although it has to be said, Apollo looks very fine without any knickers at all ;)

Well, if she accidentally stepped into a time machine and were transported to Germany 2011, she wouldn't stand out at all.
