HMS Galatea was an Ariadne class 26-gun, sixth-rate, wooden screw frigate in the Royal Navy, launched in 1859 and broken up 1883. She was first assigned to the Channel Squadron and then from 1863 to 1865 to the North America and West Indies Station based in Bermuda and Halifax. While in Halifax, Galatea inspired a trio of dramatic paintings by ship portrait artist John O'Brien.[1] In 1866, after a refit, she went on a world cruise, under the command of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.


While in Sydney, Galatea was placed in the Fitzroy Dock at Cockatoo Island Dockyard in 1870.[2]

in spring boot 2.1 many test slices are not allowed anymore due to multiple @BootstrapWith

Image
1 I tried to upgrade a yummy sandwich made of two test slices (@JsonTest and @JdbcTest in my case, crunchy test code in between) adding spring boot 2.1 flavour to it. But it seems it was not much of a success. I cannot annotate my tests with many @...Test since they are now each bringing their own XxxTestContextBootstrapper.
