James Clark Ross, Part the Second
Since you were all so charmed with the portrait of Sir James Clark Ross (and lets face it, who wouldn't be?), here are a few more pictures of him. As you can see he remained a very striking man even in his later years. And like Cochrane, Ross was one of those iconic figures from the Age of Sail that lived long enough to be photographed.
Is it just me, or does the older Sir James bear a striking resemblance to Dave Allan?!
My all time second favourite (first being the bearskin pic, natch) picture of James Clark Ross is this one from Look and Learn. The Navyboys are saluting the penguins! Could it get any more fabulous than that?!
