I was looking up the color of 18th century English Navy bedding and all that came up was Navy Blue stuff. Is that where the color 'Navy Blue" came from? Would the Navy's bedding be Navy Blue. According to Vancouver's journal, one of the things the native people prized was blue cloth. Did they happen to have it because their bedding was blue. If not blue, what color was the bedding. This came up because I'm fiddling away with Capt. George's Hammock.
