Shame it's Captain Kidd because he wasn't really a pirate at all. He was set up by Landed Gentry and Corrupt politicians and he should never have been executed. Perhaps the exhibition explains that.
There must be two Museums of London now. There is also one in the Barbican which I would like to visit in the near future.
The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

Did you know that The first blast of the trumpet against the monstruous regiment of women is a polemical work by the Scottish Reformer John Knorks, published in 1558.
Also that Das Kapital was published in 1867 by K Norx?

No - I was reminded of Knorks's protest by a book on the Tudors. Then Das Kapital obviously sprang to mind.

Did you know that NASA based the design of the Moon Walk Space Suits on Henry VIII's suit of tournament armour from 1520 which is kept at the Tower of London?

Either they didn't think landing on the moon as exciting as being Henry or they knew he only had a big ego to fill.

Did you know that if Thomas Jefferson had had his way, there would be US states called Sylvania, Metropotamia, Polypotamia, Pelisipia and Assenisipia?
