Athugasemdir
Įhugaveršar upplżsingar um hvalbįtana, vona aš einhver af žeim verši varšveittur į sjómynjasafni er žeir hafa lokiš hlutverki sķnu į sjónum. Žannig geta žeir žį haldiš veišunum įfram og ķ staš žess aš veiša hval, veiša žeir feršamenn sem munu skoša žį.
Ašrar žjóšir sżna gömlum skipum viršingu og gera žau upp og sżna žau feršamönnum og segja sögu žeirra. Į feršlögum mķnum hef ég komiš į svona söfn eins og ķ Portsmouth, žar sem HMS Victory er og ķ Boston žar sem USS Constitution er viš bryggju og er enn skrįš ķ bandarķska flotann.
