  Re. Golden Hind.
  Although the ship was displayed in a dock in Deptford (south east London) for approximately 100 years after her epic life a sea there is the sad fact that the only timbers which still exist apparently make up a table in the Inns of Court.
  There was however, a painting displayed in the Queen's House, Greenwich which purported to show the ship at rest; surrounded by the then dockyard at work.

  Re: Golden Hind
  With respect to the above; I have also seen the painting described above which used to hang in a room of the so called 'Queen's House': Greenwich Park. This was whilst I was living in a Council Flat; no. 25 Delany House, Thames Street, Greenwich during the late 1980's. Bemused by the view of ships masts to the left of the painting (in the mid - distance); which given the approximate position of the former Greenwich Palace would seem to refer to Deptford and the old Naval Dockyard I asked to borrow a chair and for fifteen minutes stood in front of the painting with the ships masts at eye - level. The weird detail was that there appeared to be a 'white painted' or 'GHOST' ship in front of them: displayed by itself in isolation. Whilst I couldn't guarantee that this was a representation of the 'Golden Hind' what I saw reminded me of something I had heard in my childhood. For the record; I was told that the year before JAMES VI of Scotland became JAMES I of England and Wales the 'Golden Hind' was painted in 'LIME' (a preparation, somewhere between lime - wash and lime - mortar).
  Purportedly the night ELIZABETH I died in 1603 / 04 (ie. New Years Eve); in the main hall of the former Greenwich Palace: the ship was set ablaze, even as she knelt supported by pillows in what someone called a 'CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE'. 'The Devil Rides Out They Say' and THUS WE END...

  Split personality, then, ID? Or maybe a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde, or even just talking to himself.
