A pic of the small castle from the top of which H VIIIth oberved the inadvertent flooding of his flagship and a pic of him not looking too happy about it, a pic of the earliest from of clarinet, found onboard and some pics of the HMS Victory in dock there and the Hovercraft nearby, leaving for the Isle of Wight.
