Baloney! This was a replica burnt on purpose to mark the 200th anniversary of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar. Jsmith -- go back to selling your books, newspapers, and tourist trinkets.

Wasn't this done as a Cancer Raising Fund? I think I saw something that it was. Some fellow in HongKong did a bid and won the "prize"..and consequently this replica was burned.

Why do you think I gave the website? Thought a little humor might be welcome on a Saturday night but apparently too much for some. Lighten up.

<i>The great-great-great grandfather of Torrington Cavaliers' project manager Dick Matthews, 62, had been a cabin boy on Nelson's flagship.&quot;</i>
Isn't that great?!

<i>&quot;Since being founded 35 years ago, the group has become known for building and firing some of the country's most spectacular bonfires. &quot;</i>
Isn't that great too!!

Thanks jsmith...I got it

Hello jsmith, I sure wasn't &quot;putting you down&quot;. I didn't go on the website, I merely posted what I had read &quot;somewhere&quot; on the web. Hope that you are not upset at my post. Best wishes to you.

Smitty: you have freedom of speech, but you cannot yell &quot;fire&quot; in a crowded theater. Humor? Twisted.

I suggest, USNR, you immediately send an email to the BBC, get on the phone or picket their headquarters. They are using this leader today. By God, they're are totally irresponsible.

&quot;What the blazes! Nelson's Victory goes up in flames&quot;
