Howdie. What is the proper pronunciation…. Maude? (like mawd)
Not really sure. It looks like some references go with "maud", which is easy enough if that is correct :)
Thanks. Chalfant |

I always assumed MAW-ood (silent 'H'). Said quickly, that would effectively be MAUD, |

Yeh, seems this might be correct. Well, its either correct, or no more wrong than any other pronunciation I choose to go with. Think I will take Maud over Chumley or throatwarvlermangrove. Pending damning evidence to the contrary, Maude it is. Chalfant |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
