Subject: RE: How to commemorate Trafalgar bicentenary
Jack Aubrey sets sail next month, when Russell Crowe's "Master and Commander" comes out. I admit I approach it with mixed feelings. But Aubrey served with Nelson at the Nile. At least people will have some idea of Nelson's navy. Since Nelson wasn't buried at sea. (I've seen his tomb, it looks like a giant sugar bowl.) His bed is still on board the victory, with the coverings embroidered by Lady Hamilton. Perhaps it could go on tour.
