    Certainly on the right track. I should add that I am an American and we call petrol by another name.

    Quite a few. I highly recommend this book:

    Another fun fact, Darwin's work on earthworm behavior is still cutting edge. You can learn that and more than you ever wanted to know about earthworms here:

    Well done! I had in mind a much tougher one, but it is Canadian history, and not likely very welcome.

    The Hudson’s Bay steamship Beaver was the fist steamship in the area of Vancouver, B C. A drunken crew ran her aground in Burrard Inlet, and it subsided into the water. But not completely. Vandals stripped of anything they could salvage, then years later, the wake from a large ship passing by, finished the job. Well done @JimInOz . I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that someone on an international forum sch as this, could identify an obscure historical Canadian event.
