Figurehead Mania, Part 1

One of my vacation destinations was the Mariner Museum in Newport News, Virginia, primarily to see the turret and other artifacts recovered from the Civil War ironclad the U.S.S. Monitor. As a bonus, I got to see a lot of other cool stuff, like these great larger-than-lifesize ships' figureheads.

Columbia, from the Benmore, 1870-1924.
Benmore was a 3-masted bark built in Glasgow. When she was sold to an
American in 1920, the figurehead was repainted with this American flag design.

Apollo, from the Apollo, 1854-1908.
The German bark Apollo was wrecked off the coast of Norway,
where this figurehead washed ashore and was put on display.

Dutch Burgher, ship unknown, circa 1800
