Today we had a work team day on HMS Belfast, sadly though there wasn't enough time between presentations to explore this old World War II battleship.

I walked past this ship in a bottle on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square this evening when heading back to Charing Cross after a work dinner. My colleague was rather perturbed though that the sail arrangement was inaccurate, personally I just thought it looked rather nice and was happy to allow the artist a little leeway.

After our meeting today we got taken on a tour of the Hamburg Maritime Museum. It was created from one man's personal collection, including over 36,000 small scale ships models. Prior to being placed in this 9 floor museum he kept them in his three storey house - his wife must have the patience of a saint! Anyway this was my favourite exhibit - a Lego model of the Queen Mary 2. I was also slightly bemused by the pickled fish in jars but didn't really fancy taking a picture of them!
