"Thank God I have done my duty." were Horatio Nelson's final words. His funeral service lasted for over five days.
His body was placed in a coffin made from the mast of the French ship, L'Orient, destroyed during his famous victory at the Battle of the Nile.

"I found the crown of France in the gutter. I picked it up with the tip of my sword, and cleaned it, and placed it atop my own head"

At two in the morning in 1492, a lookout on the Pinta cried 'Tierra!'.
Hours later Columbus waded ashore on a Bahamian island he named San Salvador, and two worlds collided forever.
Happy Columbus Day!
