Silent, with mute prayers to St Nicholas and the Virgin Mary during the Greek War of Independence Greece's islanders from Hydra, Spetses and Psara pilot their floating bomb towards the Turkish frigate.
The bomb an old aging ship stripped of its fittings and filled with gunpowder with tangling yardarms and tinder-dry, only awaites a spark.
These were the fireships of the Greek War of Independnce!
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT THE PARTHENON MARBLES MUST RETURN TO GREECE
