Default PLINY THE ELDER WAS AN ADMIRAL

MY DAUHTER'S YOUNG MAN IS A CASKMASTER FOR RUSSIAN RIVER AND MAKES PLINY THE ELDER BEER WHICH JUST LOST ITS TOP 100 OUT OF 100 RATING...A WONDER THEY'RE NOT USING IT AS A MARKETING PLOY ON THE BIG ISLAND: ...BUT THEN, TECHNICALLY, IT'S NOT A 'PLINIAN ERUPTION' AFTER ALL
 
Pliny the Elder died in AD 79, while attempting the rescue, by ship, of a friend and his family, in Stabiae, from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which already had destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.. The wind caused by the sixth and largest pyroclastic surge of the volcano’s eruption did not allow his ship to leave port, and Pliny probably died during that event. HIS NEPHEW DESCRIBED THE VESUVIUS ERUPTION KNOWN AS A PLINIAN ERUPTION: AKA MT ST. HELENS 1980 <ENLARGES https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliny_the_Elder
