That's correct.
One mistress got it wrong the first munch we had in that pub. She actually thought the event was being held on the ship.
She stormed off in a huff when she realised she was not going to be piped aboard.

No side swipe at grammar intended. I just thought that any expectation of the laying of pipe would take place on-board rather than aboard. A rather rude segue, I must admit. But hey-ho, in the future I will take a leaf out of the Mighty Rim’s book and post in Wingdings for the sake of perspicuity…
