Figurehead from the nineteenth century warship HMS Vernon. Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England.
The last of four ships to bear the name HMS Vernon was a fourth rate 50-gun 'Symondite' frigate launched at Woolwich on May Day in 1832. She saw active service in home waters, the Americas and the East Indies between 1832 and 1848. She was then laid up in Chatham Dockyard until emerging in 1867 for use as a floating coaling jetty.
This ship was actually named after the Hon George Vernon, a friend of Capt William Symonds who had designed her, but her name became synonymous with one of his ancestors, Admiral Edward Vernon (1684-1757) nicknamed 'Old Grog'. On 22 Nov 1739, he achieved fame by commanding a squadron of six ships which captured the Central American coastal fortress of Portobello from the Spanish. Although he suffered a later defeat at Cartagena, he was elected to Parliament on the basis of his previous success. He was known as ‘Old Grog,’ reputedly because of his penchant for wearing a cloak made of grogram (from the French ‘gros grain’), a coarse fabric of silk or mohair and wool. In 1740, he had the sailors’ neat rum ration diluted with water, a mixture known ever afterwards as "grog".

The town of Lymington in Hampshire dates from Anglo Saxon times and gradually expanded from the original settlement around the quay to become a thriving town.
These houses on Quay Hill date from Georgian times with quite a few being grade 2 listed buildings and protected from demolition or major alterations without prior authority from the Local Authority – New Forest District Council.
Today the town has a ferry link across the Solent to the nearby Isle of Wight and benefits from tourism through leisure sailing and the nearby New Forest National Park.

I boldly took this shot from a moving ferry as it approached the Passenger Terminal at Sydney's Circular Quay. Was surprised at what I got considering the the light and movement of the ferry.
Morwellham Quay is an historic river port in Devon, England that developed to support the local mines. The port had its peak in the Victorian era and is now run as a tourist attraction and museum. It is the terminus of the Tavistock Canal, and has its own copper mine. It is here that the TV series Edwardian Farm was filmed
