The Nancy--schooner, war of 1812, sunk by Americans. 80' long by 12' wide, her wreck enabled a natural sand bar to be created. She lies at the mouth of the Nottawasaga River,  3 hrs northwest from me.

The Mary Rose would be interesting to see, but the Vasa is apparently more intact. However, there's lots to see in Portsmouth as well, - many old ships that never sank.

HMS Victory is still around...

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

The Falkland Islands is littered with interesting wrecks , not just from the war but old metal/wooden sailing ships .
Most of the ships ended up being there after suffering damage ,limped into Stanley harbour and were then insurance right off's .
I was told that during the Falklands war SAS soldiers used the Lady Elizabeth to mark targets for the Harriers .For a little place there is a lot of history to the Falklands .
