an Bord eines „Spielzeug“-Schlauchbootes zu erreichen.
Salvamar #Arcturus
fand sie schließlich etliche Meilen vom Leuchtturm entfernt im Bereich der Banco del Hoyo [einer Ankerzone vor der Küste außerhalb der spanischen Hoheitsgewässer] und brachte sie wohlbehalten nach #Tarifa.

My favorite naval souvenir: made from the teak of the Spartiate: French ship launched in the same year as @USSConstitution (1797), captured by the British at the Battle of the Nile (1798), then served in their fleet at #Trafalgar. Stunning to imagine the history it witnessed

Join the National Museum of the Royal Navy as they launch a new digital series for Trafalgar Day - covering the life of Vice-Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, the man behind the title, the history of the Battle of Trafalgar, and the enduring legacy of 21 October 1805. This week’s focus is the fate of HMS Victory following the battle, and the unlikely assistance from Royals and artists, before next week’s dives into a blow by blow of the battle.
