The crow was an essential part of the early sailors’ navigation equipment. These land-lubbing fowl were carried on board to help the navigator determine where the closest land lay when the weather prevented sighting the shore visually. In cases of poor visibility, a crow was released and the navigator plotted a course that corresponded with the bird’s because it invariably headed straight toward land, “as the crow flies.”

The crow’s cage was situated high in the main mast where the look-out stood his watch. Often, he shared this lofty perch with a crow or two since the crows’ cages were kept there: hence the “crow’s nest”.(Wikipedia)

    Origin of tea in Britain:

    Tea plants are native to East and South Asia and probably originated around the point of confluence of the lands of northeast India, north Burma, southwest China, and Tibet. The first recorded drinking of tea is in China, with the earliest records of tea consumption with records dating back to the 10th century BC.
    Tea, that most quintessential of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores.It was not until the mid 17th century that the beverage first appeared in England.
    The use of tea spread slowly from its Asian homeland, reaching Europe by way of Venice around 1560, although Portuguese trading ships may have made contact with the Chinese as early as 1515.
