    While awaiting Hawaii I attended a presentation on the Bayeux tapestries embroidered in the late 11th century commemorating the victory of the Normans over the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings. The tapestry is 230 feet long and 2 feet high. It is a wonderful pictorial history made when few people could read. The pictures are on the stairwell so there is a grab bar across each of them. I also attached a somewhat whimsical animation from the ship museum. It is 4 minutes long but this app will only accept 1 minute. If you want to see the rest let me know and I will try to email itRead more
