ARC Exclusive Print of the Bone Ship (Replica of the HMS St George)

Behold a remarkable piece of maritime history - a meticulously crafted miniature replica of the HMS St George, Lord Nelson's flagship during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. This model is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of French sailors taken prisoner during the Napoleonic wars. 

With scarce supplies, these prisoners transformed the bones from their rations into intricate works of art. Using basic hand tools, they created detailed models like this one - a poignant symbol of human perseverance. 

Transferred to the Nelson Provincial Museum in 1918, this replica has a personal touch, as Mr. Samuel H. Strong's father served aboard the HMS St George.
