In the Abbey Gardens in Tresco they have an area they call Valhalla where they have lots of ships' figureheads from ships that have been wrecked in the seas around the islands.
Most of them have been restored and repainted, and when they have information about the ship and what happened to her they have written it up beside the figurehead.
Brian found it a bit ghoulish, but I thought it was touching, and the effort to give the ships a place in history for people who come later was quite moving.

Something has gone wrong with the pictures of this.
I'll put them on Picassa - so much for trying to be clever!
