Spelunking is exploring caves and it is also a sport.  The English call it potholing.  In NZ they have caves at Waitomo in the North Island.

The Battle of Dunbar

The Battle of Dunbar was in 1650 and was between Scottish and English.  The leader of the English was Oliver Cromwell.  And the Scottish leader was David Leslie.

Only 20 English died but maybe 2000 Scottish soliders died.  A lot of prisoners were held at Durham Cathedral.

There are lots of  warships.  Some ships can go under water.  They are named submarines.


I like the Nautilus submarine.
