look at this photo of her next to a warship. unbelievable. hi. sorry i like her lots... anyway i don't remember a ton abt her history-- ik she was built near the very end of the age of sail & got bounced around a lot. & now she's a display ship in. mmmm. london? greenwich? &. yeah!! i just think she's neat :-)
