			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Eighteenth-Century Warship by KirscheTortschen, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/-cherrypie-/6777614357/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6777614357_db69c3a2a0.jpg" alt="Eighteenth-Century Warship" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On my recent trip to Kent I payed my first visit to Rochester and one of the first things I noticed as I entered the city was a weather vane in the shape of a ship.  On further investigation I found that it was on top of <a href="http://www.medway.gov.uk/leisureandculture/museums/guildhallmuseum.aspx" target="_blank">the guildhall</a> which was built in 1687.</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Outside, mounted on the roof, is an amazing weather vane in the form of a fully rigged 18th-century warship. This is 1.52m tall and weighs just under 51kg. It is made of gilded copper and lead alloy and has weathered the ever-changing climate since 1780.</p>
