Admiral Horatio Nelson's Battle of Trafalgar Uniform
Back in August, legume_shadow and I went across the pond to London (we happen to be there during the riots - which meant, less tourists around, yay). We managed to go to St. Paul's Cathedral where Admiral Nelson was interred and also to the National Marittime Museum in Greenwich. I figured I post these pics to the community for those who haven't seen Admiral Nelson's Trafalgar uniform, which had been recently re-displayed after being taken down for over a year to be restored.
Forgive me for the lack of clarity and darkness of the photos (I've tried to photoshop them to be brighter, but there is only so much you can do). Flash photography was not allowed in the Nelson section of the Museum and I managed to sneak a stealth pic of his tomb (photography was definitely NOT allowed at the Cathedral).
We also happened to find four statues near the museum's cafe...one of which was Admiral Pellew, or rather, Lord Exmouth.
Hope you guys enjoyed the pics. The museum itself had a lot more things to look at, especially the model ships which I won't post because I took too many pictures of the ships and generally went a little crazy running back and forth and admiring the detailing. legume_shadow can verify that...though we were both a little AoS crazy spending so much time in there.
