London offers many iconic landmarks and museums to visit for sightseeing.

Visitors can see much of the city either on foot or using the famous double-decker buses or underground metro system known as the Tube.
The cog was a common cargo vessel in medieval Europe, especially in the Baltic and North Sea regions between the 10th and 15th centuries. It had a flat-bottomed, clinker-built design with a single mast and square sail. Cogs were found in shipwrecks across the Baltic and North Sea, and dendrochronological analysis was used to date the wooden ships. Several cogs have been reconstructed based on the best preserved wreck, the Bremen Cog from 1380, including the Ubena von Bremen and Roland von Bremen.
Passat was a four-masted steel barque launched in 1911 that was used for decades to transport nitrate from Chile to Europe. During World War I, she was interned in Chile and later turned over to France. In the 1930s, she began transporting grain from Australia to Europe under Finnish ownership. Passat rounded Cape Horn 39 times and participated in her last Great Grain Race in 1949, after which she was used in Atlantic trade until being decommissioned in 1957. She was purchased in 1959 and is now preserved as a museum ship in Germany.
The Danish steam frigate Jylland was built between 1857-1862 and is the largest preserved wooden ship. She served in the Danish Navy until 1874 and then as the royal yacht until 1886. At over 71 meters long, she was impressive for her time with 44 guns and could reach speeds of 12 knots under sail and 11 knots with her steam engine. On May 9, 1864 she took part in the last major battle between wooden ships, the Battle of Heligoland, where she battled Austrian and Prussian fleets and sustained damage before they withdrew. She is now preserved and can be visited at her original dock in Ebeltoft, Denmark.

Norman's ship was depicted in an ancient picture from the Bayeux tapestry from approximately the 11th century CE. The picture shows the internal structure of the ship's hull with the first and second planking, as well as some equipment already installed including a mast in place and a sail bearing a thermotransfered design.
1) The document describes the construction of a model ship called HMS Speedy out of basic materials like fence rails for the hull.
2) Various techniques were used to create the solid bread and butter hull, birch deck, self-adhesive copper tape, computer-printed or ironed sails, photoetched details, and brass guns.
3) The model was built for the builder's grandchildren as part of their introduction to techniques and materials used in ship models.
