bantarleton:Managed to catch the Thomas Cochrane exhibition currently on display in the National Museum of Scotland. For those who don’t know of him, I’d recommend looking him up; he was a British naval flag officer of the Royal Navy, turned mercenary and radical politician. He was a daring and successful captain of the Napoleonic Wars, leading Napoleon to nickname him Le Loup des Mers (‘The Sea Wolf’). He was successful in virtually all his naval actions. The sea chest in the bottom picture was gifted to him by his Chilean revolutionary allies. -- source link
