HMS Marlborough Figurehead

[wobe]

Apparently the ship that this belonged to was the very last sailing battleship and also the last ship in the British Navy to sport a figurehead - built 1855 and scrapped 1925.
Now her figurehead is on display at the Royal Navy docks (Gunwharf Quays) in Portsmouth.

In the background is the Spinnaker Tower (should have got more space between his nose and the tower!)

Nice shot with very good detail.....

Maybe could have used more room but with the tower out of focus it doesn't look bad to me at all; I like it.
