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 the port without her. Then there are the Implacable and the Foudroyant, now holiday training ships for boys; the Mercantile Marine cadet ships, Conway and Worcester, moored respectively in • the Mersey and the Thames; and the Cornwall. There is a seventh survivor of the old “wooden walls,” the Unicorn, but she is in Scotland. §>he has been stationed at Dundee for the last 69 years.
