On the 27th of October Charles Miller Ltd, London, are holding an auction of Maritime and Scientific Models, Instruments and Art that includes some astonishing lots including a shot riddled ensign from HMS Temeraire, Captain Marryat's telescope and an early 19th century frock coat and regulation naval waistcoat. I've written a short piece about the auction over at my LJ if you're interested.
I think I need a new jacket...
