- The company of the Enterprise found other novel distractions to occupy them during the long winters. Richard Cohinson, Journal of H.M.S. Enterprise, London 1889, p. 149, mentions that the crew constructed a skittle alley and a billiard room. The billiard table was made from blocks of snow, with an upper surface and rim of ice. The cushions were made from walrus hide stuffed with oakum, and, finding the grapeshot originally used for balls too heavy, the ship's carpenter managed, without the use of a lathe, to construct new balls from lignum vitae.
