I have sent PMs to the three who have been too slow so far... I will give them a little more time and then... we move on without them.

This is one of the cannon from the HMS Bounty, which was burned off Pitcairn Island on January 23, 1790. This particular cannon (as I remember there are two on the island), is in Len Brown's front yard. I never met Len, as he and his wife were off the island when I visited, but I stayed in the home of his son-in-law, Steve Christian. The cannons, and Bounty's anchor (which is in the towns square) were retrieved from the wreck of Bounty by the National Geographic in January 1957.

Co-incidentally, the Third president of the Royal Society was Sir Christopher Wren.
Have you been reading "Quicksilver" by any chance, Charlatan?

Just on a point of information - Hadrian's wall is totally inside England.
The wall that's closest to the England/Scotland border is the ANONINE wall. I'm sure that the question INTENDED to ask for a picture of Hadrian's Wall, but it'd be like asking for the US/Canadian border, and beig shown a picture of the sign outside Portland that says "<-- Oregon / Washington -->"
