You have your recomended reading section but I wondered if you have ever considered a recomended places to visit section, if you have I have one, if not you can still have it. Hartlepool Historic Quay http://www.destinationhartlepool.com/section_historic_quay.php which, within a group of museums set around a quay, houses the oldest floating fighting ship in the UK(Victory being in dry dock) There is also a section of marines who give firepower displays. The interior of the ship was an eye opener to how the sailors lived and fought on these ships during the Napoleonic wars. A great day out and well worth the money. Peter Brown
