THE WOODEN WALLS
"With the passing of the old Arethusa, for many years a Thames training-ship, which was recently handed over to the shipbreakers, there are now only half a dozen of the old wooden warships left in English ports. Pride of place, of course, belongs to the Victory, which was restored recently, and now looks exactly as she did at Trafalgar. Visitors to Portsmouth could not imagine tho port without her. Then thcro are the Implacable and tho. Foudroyant, now holiday training-ships " for boys; the Mercantile Marine cadet-ships, Conway and Worcester, moored respectively in tho Mersey and tho Thames; and tho Cornwall. There is a- seventli survivor of the old "wooden walls," tho Unicorn, but she is in Scotland. Shp has been stationed at Dundee for tho last fifty-nine years.
