Magellan Musings

We often come across nuggets of information which we find incredibly interesting or vaguely shocking.  Who knows if they are true or not but either way, they sound good. This page is dedicated to those little gems that come our way.  We cannot guarantee their veracity but they feel right!  We will be adding to this section on an ongoing basis.

  • The Stars and Stripes US Anthem was not American in origin:  it was an old English ditty.
  • There’s been a place of worship on the site of Southwark Cathedral for over 1,000 years.
  • There are more canals in Marais Poitevin, Poitou-Charentes than there are in Venice.
