I think I may need to check out the origin of my nym...or at least I don't get the rest in peace reference.
The real Scoresby died in March, 1857.

Aha, seems like Cameron used the real Scoresby as reference for the whaler in Avatar who dies in the last installment. That was what triggered my not-so-cultured RIP reference.

What you both might not know is that the real Scoresby who died in 1857 was named after the famed Mesopotamian whaler Scoresby of Akkad who saved Jonah from the whale as told in the ancient biblical text of Jonah.

I'm sorry. My initial post was less cryptic~~ it would have avoided said dropping of the heart.
