Notes and Questions

chains and rams?
Any offers for name of ship?
Row 4, any offers before we go with Tim's version?
Googling "Brarou" the nearest I've found is Biarou, a place in Senegal. But it is several hundred miles from the sea, and the second letter in the mystery word doesn't look like the writer's other "i"s
Or (Francois) Bayrou, a French politician and a namesake town in Aquitaine.
None seem very likely as the name of a ship
Thanks. I have met much the same
