And dear nodbear was a happy bunny seeing so much of him :) YAY! Btw - what happened to the Indy? She was broken up in 1836? Not a single piece left??? :( I have to read Ned's biography again.

Nice pics. Post more :)

Love the memorial! Of course the Indy had to get a mention :) I also thoroughly approve of Mr Lindsay and Mr Gruffudd appearing on the information board, although we could do without the somewhat irrelevant picture of Nelson :}

Totally redundant Nelson pic - in fact I think I might suggest that we maintain a collection of useless and irrelevant references to Nelson on monuments exhibits and memorabilia rightly about other officers
I am sure volgivagant and many others could contribute ones they have found!

its good on the whole though isn't it !
