Before you go please read, and see left

In the middle of photographing Saturday's parade an interesting pamphlet was given to me. It is a memorial sonnet recalling the sad loss at sea, off the coast of Anglesey, in 1859 of the "Royal Charter" a 2719 ton steel built steam clipper of 1851 en-route from Australia to Liverpool with about 371 passengers (but designed to carry 600 passengers) and 112 crew on board.

As I photographed her presence
in the Extravaganza Parade,
Miss Charlotte Peters Rock,
 a one woman crusade,
charmingly bore down upon me
and thrust into my sticky hand a sonnet grand
- recalling that great loss of yesteryear.
