Subject: RE: How to commemorate Trafalgar bicentenary
HuwG - Victory went into dry dock (IIRC) in the 1930's - She had been used as a hulk till then. Fair comment on the sticks though. Now I wonder if we can find enough seasoned pine to make up the spars in time !!!
LTS - Anne Bolyn was chopped with a French Sword, at her own request. Now theres a considerate husband for you !
