Subject: RE: How to commemorate Trafalgar bicentenary
SkipperJack - I think that IFOS 2005 is actually at the end of June next year, not July. The place to look for info on events that are already organised is the SeaBritain website www.seabritain2005.com I think. (SeaBritain 2005 is a national promotion, spearheaded by the National Maritime Museum and linked into the British Tourist Authority's 'Visit Britain' campaign.) If you have a look at the website under events there ae lots of things. One of the most interesting I've heard of is a plan to plant a whole wood (not just a tree) for every British ship which took part in the battle - the different woods will be names after the individual ships.
