COMMERCIAL FRUITS OF VICTORY. The Admiralty have a Trafalgar 200 commemorative site, complete with commemorative and souvenir items thoughtfully grouped as household gifts, or suitable for Christmas. The household items do not include a square wooden plate, just the thing for serving those square meals.

The British railway historical magazine Backtrack has been offering a Trafalgar retrospective of a different sort. A number of the London Midland and Scottish "Jubilee" class 4-6-0s were named for Admiralty figures and ships. Herewith a quick look. This site offers many more roster and action photographs of Jubilees.





Bellerophon, the shed looks like the Germans had at it.
