| Post subject: | Interesting link with Chile |
The capsule that brought the trapped Chilean miners to the surface in the recent dramatic and amazing rescue was built by the Chilean Navy. I thought it worth noting the link between the Chilean Navy and 'our' period. It was Thomas Cochrane, Lord Dundonald, who founded the Chilean Navy which over the years has had five ships name either 'Cochrane' or 'Almirante Cochrane.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Coc ... _Dundonald |
