Description: A replica of HMS Pickle, a Bermuda sloop (built as the merchantman Sting), which carried the news of British victory back to Britain from the Battle of Trafalgar. The ship is of a type traditional to Bermuda, and many were commissioned from Bermudian builders or bought-up from trade by the Royal Navy, first to counter French privateers, then as Advice boats.
