The memorial is in fact on Greenock turf, but the town, bay and harbour visible below are Gourock Your turn... Welcome, dear visitor!

Olsen Posted November 26, 2012 Share #1682 Posted November 26, 2012 A friend of mine and I had planned to go to Glasgow to see Glasgow Rangers playing v Celtic, but the trip never materialised. Pitty. Now we have to wait for years to see this match again. I'll be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 28, 2012 Share #1689 Posted November 28, 2012 Hello Philipp, Are we perhaps in or near the Aegean Sea? Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted November 29, 2012 Share #1693 Posted November 29, 2012 Michael and Olsen are in the right body of water. Sutherland is way off in that direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share #1694 Posted November 30, 2012 The Sutherland was the vessel in " A Ship of the Line". Forester's Captain Horatio Hornblower swam this channel (naked) to capture a ship, I think. Naval fiction based on Cochrane"s life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted November 30, 2012 Share #1695 Posted November 30, 2012 Ah - the "ugliest ship of the line" which was "dismasted and forced to strike her colors and surrender" in Rosas Bay. I kind of recalled who Hornblower was but didn't recognize the ship's name. "Ugliest of the line" indeed. The location is not in Spain, either.

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 30, 2012 Share #1696 Posted November 30, 2012 Hello Philipp, If it is not the Aegean or Adriatic but is in their neighborhood then could it possibly be the Mediterranean or/& more specifically the Mediterranean inbetween them?

dachs Posted November 30, 2012 Share #1697 Posted November 30, 2012 Ah - the "ugliest ship of the line" which was "dismasted and forced to strike her colors and surrender" in Rosas Bay. I kind of recalled who Hornblower was but didn't recognize the ship's name. "Ugliest of the line" indeed. The location is not in Spain, either. Hornblower was a mythical character written on the basis of Nelson's actual career, with a few trimmings, pretty true to life as was then. hope I've he;ped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted November 30, 2012 Share #1698 Posted November 30, 2012 It's on the Mediterranean coast, but not between the Adriatic and the Aegean seas. Mark Twain said something quite unfriendly about the inhabitants of the place shown. @Dachs: Thank you. I've known Hornblower since childhood; I've never realized that his biography was modeled after a real one. One lives and learns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
