Whilst on the K&A we visited a church (maybe Pewsey) and the altar rail had been made from timber from a boat captured by Nelson. I'm off to try and google the where and what ... my memory's not what it was. Yes, Pewsey: " the altar rails, carved by the Rev. the Hon H Pleydell Bouverie, rector 1880 - 1909, were made of wood taken from the Spanish battleshipβ San Josefβ of 112 guns, boarded by Nelson off Cape St Vincent, 14th February, 1797" www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/Pewsey/Pewsey%20-%20Kellys%201915.pdf

That's a nice idea I really like that. I wonder if the wood would be in good enough condition though. It would be a nice project. It would be better to have the wood above the waterline but even if that was rotten I can put that under vacuum in a resin liquid. The wood then becomes very easy to turn and cut. Just out of interest. Would the two half sunk boats that are in this thread still have owners? What about using some teak from the wrecked Botter in Broadness Harbour (someone has already removed the bowsprit) that Magnetman posted about in the "Wooden dutch barge (wreck)" thread? thunderboat.boards.net/post/142171/thread
