Elmina Castle in Ghana, Africa
« on: October 23, 2010, 07:27:03 AM »
A very good friend of mine is working in Ghana, Africa.  He visited Elmina Castle , which was a slave outpost, and took these pictures he thought I would be interested in.  Neat guns in deplorable condition.

Good pics, Z! Sea mists and uncared for iron do not result in a good outcome.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
