Could someone tidy up GR Gr Grandpa Peter?

What an interesting story, Peter, to go with a great photo!

I'm not sure you will find any ships sailing from Land's End...it is a rocky promontory with cliffs and underwater rocks, and no harbour. I don't think ships actually sailed from there...the absence of any sort of port makes it a bit difficult

But he may have sailed from Falmouth. It is on the doorstep of Penryn and is a good anchorage capable of handling large sailing vessels. So is Penzance, a bit farther west.

Cheers,
China

Many thanks for all the hard work. He looks much, much better. The next time I update my website, it'll look wonderful.



China, the relative who said he remembered Peter coming from Land's End is 89 years old and is unfortunately becoming more forgetful. I agree that he probably sailed from Falmouth.

Thanks again,

Lyle


PS Peter the Pirate is my nickname for the Peter in the photo. There are 8 or 9 Peter Copelans in the family, one of them my grandfather and it got rather confusing when talking to relatives. I liked the alliteration and people definitely remember him now. Actually, my grandfather is probably more of a pirate, albeit landbased, but that's another story altogether.
