"There are charming avenues of s in the gardens of St. Mary's House ... A bedchamber above is named the " Room," because of its paneled walls constructed from wood taken from these enemy ships. In the centre of each panel is a clever inlaid representation of one of these Spanish warships; picturesque objects, all of them, with their fine sails blown by the wind as they combat the waves."
