It’s been a week of new commissions. Some interesting ones too.
One, well two actually, for a disabled access sailing club, came with a box full of large chunks of wood from HMS Victory. I have no problem with this, and I know there was wood from the Victory…but how much? I’ve heard claims of two containers loaded with it bought by one individual, another container by another individual, then there are the official “Victory gift” suppliers, and then the mountains of “Victory wood” available from many sources on the internet…
How big was this ship? The size of Poland?
