205 2014 travel journal -arrival at Saint Helena
Uninhabited when first discovered by the Portuguese in 1, 2, Saint Helena was garrisoned by the British during the 17th century (to be used as a refreshment station for ships travelling to and from the East). It acquired fame as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile, from 1815 until his death in 1821, but its importance as a port of call declined after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Saint Helena has three smaller dependencies: Ascension Island is the site of a US Air Force auxiliary airfield; Tristan da Cunha is home to a very small community reliant on fishing for income; Gough Island has a meteorological station.wikitravel.org

206a , 14 travel journal -Saint Helena -Napoleon curiosities
"Napoleon 1820, from drawing made by Captain Henry Duncan Dodgin of 66th Regiment. I have serious doubts about the very unflattering portrait with the German inscription, allegedly painted by Captain Marryat in 1821. Napoleon ventured out so little in the weeks before his death that it would have been near impossible to have made an accurate sketch of him, and I would be surprised if he ever willingly posed for one of his captors."helena186.rssing.com

204d 2014 travel journal -Saint Helena, Dutch Territorial stone
"In the office of the archives of Saint Helena we found this territorial stone. It looks as if the text was never properly finished, Did they run out of time? Disturbed by the Portuguese? Or argueing about whose name should come first. And first of all, where is the date?" RSThis is the text as on the stone:
, , PER ORDER VAN DE WELEDELE HOOGMOOGENDE HEEREN DE HEEREN S.G. NEEDERBURG EN S.H. FRYKENIUS COMMISSARISEN GENERAL VAN NEEDERLANDS INDIEN EN CABO DE GOEDE HOOP POSSESIE GENOEMEN VAN DIT LAND EN EYLANDEN UYT NAAMEN
Lion clutching 7 arrows = seven counties (Zeven Provinciën) Marks on top of stone indicate PB and IACN. This stone was bought of a Private owner residing Nr. Knollcombes by SHG
