I see we are close neighbours this morning, Jim. Three interesting documentary shots but esp. V 1 with the ship and its custom built winter quarters. V 2 is also fascinating for obvious reasons, whilst in V 3 it looks as if passers by are encouraged to deposit he odd artefact or three!

A fine set Jim, there is a statue of John Cabot by the harbourside in Bristol too as well as a replica of the Matthew which is permanently moored there apart from when it is used for films and events around the UK.
On page 41 of my portfolio you can see the Cabot Tower which is on Brandon Hill close to the centre of Bristol and the statue of John Cabot v7 of the picture entitled "Cabot Tower" if you are interested. I'm sorry I can't do a direct link as I don't know how
Great images Jim. Can you imagine the courage and daring of someone like John Cabot sailing out across the Atlantic Ocean....it must be the equivalent of man going to the moon nowadays. The winter "garage" is teriffic!...and the artwork was certainly worth showing...I wonder what it is...but, as you said, someone went to a lot of bother!

The name John Cabot, takes me back to my school days in Vancouver, BC. Can't say we learned anything about him in Norway, and don't know if he is mentioned greatly in the history books in the US!
V3 has me particularly intrigued. Did you taken any close-ups of the painted artwork perched between the rocks. Some of the rocks piled up remind me of people, but I also know that piles of such stones were used as markers in old days. We still have piles like this in our mountains from our forefathers. Maybe a monument to times gone by, to things that have drifted in by the tide........it's a mystery.
