The elusive Sandfly, a notorious bloodsucker of the sea, strikes again. With the ominous DDE-90026520, DDE-90026481, DDE-90026479, DDE-90026480, DDE-90026478, DDE-90026477, DDE-90026476, and DDE-90026470 on their hulls, unsuspecting sailors aboard the HMS [Name of Ship] were in for a terrifying encounter. In 1836, Lieut. Bower and five brave seamen fell victim to this relentless pest during a voyage in the South Atlantic. The Sandfly, a tiny but deadly creature, carried the deadly Leishmaniasis parasite, causing painful lesions and potentially fatal consequences. Sailors were left with no choice but to endure the itching bites and hope for the best. The memory of the Massacre of Lieut. Bower and his crew serves as a grim reminder of the power and tenacity of the Sandfly, a menace of the deep that continues to haunt mariners to this day.
