2. The name of the ship that James was commited to the deep from?

I thought it might be worth a guess, but having looked it up on IMDB I don't think anyone could guess it, so unless someone's got the book or film handy we could be in for a long wait....

Spot of luck! I have the Ultimate edition right in front of me; £5 from HMV. The name of the ship is F65, or at least that's what it says on the side... However, the slow pan over the crew lined up to see James off shows a life belt enscribed 'HMS TENBI', by the look of it. Odd name.

OK, although we know nothing about the game, a football question:

The football league started in 1888 with 12 teams. Name them and the first league champion. Ding either to the person who names the last or the one with the most correct; we will see how it goes.

Preston North End

Wolves

I think either Barnsley, Bradford, Blackburn or Burnely were in there too.....it begins with a 'B' anyway.

Fortunatley for us all the mighty Hammers (Thames Ironworks) were formed in 1895 and joined in 1919.

I make that 6 to TLHM, 1 to MartyBartfast and 5 to Wrighty but Wrighty got the winner and was last to answer...

Following on with another Grand National question - sorry!

In 1993 the race was officially declared void after the horse and riders broke through the starting tape and did not pull up to restart. The jockeys continued to ride the full distance of the Grand National Course.

What was the name of the horse who passed the post first?

Also can you name the jockey and the trainer of the horse?
