Arnold
Larita Arnold lives in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, with her husband of 26 years, 9-year-old son and Keeshond puppy. She also owns Silver Messages 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry, which you can find online at http://www.silvermessages.com. Prior to the birth of her son, she was an engineer, planner and manager in the telecommunications industry for 20 years.
"I had such a great time researching locations and ships for this project. I've always loved the tall wooden sailing ships of the 19th century. My husband was in the Peace Corps in Jamaica, so we have learned a lot about Caribbean history--including lots of pirate lore and legend.
"I got interested in the HMS Warrior because I could see the transition from wind to fuels in the ship design. In 1860 the entire British fleet was rendered obsolete in one year because of the new iron-clad designs. They were invincible against all ships of their day. It was fascinating to research how everything had to change: battle strategies, armament, command structure."
