[0963] Ainda as imagens do post 961

Descobrimos entretanto no mesmo local alguns dados, nos quais da primeira vez não tínhamos reparado. É que nisto de investigação é sempre bom voltar ao "lugar do crime"... Aqui ficam eles, para os nossos visitantes e em inglês, como no original. No caso da primeira imagem, chamamos a atenção para a designação "Bell Rock" , que não conhecíamos, alusiva ao ilhéu dos Pássaros (assim baptizado pelos ingleses, devido à sua forma de sino mas entre os marinheiros portugueses mais conhecido por nome assaz menos fino...). E também para a pequena biografia de Charles Lyall, que passou por São Vicente e outros locais no regresso da Austrália.
