I use this pic to draw attention to the mast
What is it used for ? I have been down to Kings Parade many times, including "Battle of Britain" week, Battle of the Atlantic and the last visit of the QE2. Never have I seen a flag fly from it.
Who knows, maybe a flag with "08" may fly from it soon, (if Council can put down there Knifes and Forks and read this site).

There's a memorial here in Baltimore to the first Pride of Baltimore, a replica War of 1812 schooner lost off Bermuda in 1986 and it is in the form of a mast.

Thanks Chris.
Apart from climbing up the mast I could not find a plaque on it.
Its been up there for well over 10 years that I know of.
Truth will out in time.
Cheers Chris

You could end up being one of those hermits who lived on top of a mast.
