Joe and All,              Years ago for an extra price, you could get a Glass Drinking Glass       that had a handle (a Mug) when buying a Soft Drink at the restaurant.              The Glass had a picture of a old Sailing Vessels on one side of it       and on the reverse side there were some words Describing that type       of Ship.              One of the Glass Mugs I have shows a Ship called a "Brig", and says       something about that type of Ship was used to transport cargo, and       it also was used by Pirates.              I am wondering why Navy Ships used the word "Brig" for a space       that has Jail Cells, and thought to ask here about it.              Thanks.              73 (Best Regards) de (from) Ed W9ODR dit dit              ...
