Hi Stan Thanks for your quick response ~ it's a good photo !! There appears to have been numerous ships built through the 19th century with this name ~ can you confirm this the one I'm looking for ~ do you know the location where the photograph was taken I have read numerous articles one which stated that HMS Caledonia was originally named HMS Impregnable ~do you know if this is correct ??? Just want to be sure I have the correct photo for my research file Thank You Regards...colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
