Those weren't houses next to what became Moseley's in the photo of Jacob St, it was Jacob St Mission, the horse and cart is outside the front door, not very long ago an engineering firm used the part that was still left after Moseley's moved in.

Err...just out of interest..can someone explain (Re: Post #193) how a lead coffin can float away?

Gordon Booth · 05-11-2010, 13:27

They said an iron ship wouldn't float-it did! If the weight of water displaced by the coffin is more than the weight of the coffin it will float.A lot of air was probably trapped inside the lead lining and it was in a wooden box. So it would displace a lot of water.

Most Iron ships are a hell of a sight bigger than a coffin. Think again. Do the calculations assuming coffin 6ft x 2ft X 18" with 1/8th inch lined lead; No way will it float, even with 1/16th inch lined lead and 2" Balsa wood will it float.

Thank you for more great pictures, and I have also looked at Owdbert's Albums, and they are so so good.......can't believe that I have been so lucky to find this site...

It must work on a similar basis to the stone coffin of St James, which, having been lost in a shipwreck in the Med, eventually ended up many years later at Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain (allegedly).

Now you're making me think!Don't forget it wouldn't be a lead coffin,the body would have been wrapped in thin lead sheet which was soldered to seal it then put in a wood coffin.However, I see your point, I'll have to resurrect my maths, physics and brain! That may not be possible but I'll have a go. If I don't come back with an answer don't be surprised.
Busman747, keep them coming, it's lovely seeing them.
