There died in London in August Mr. Sidney Nash Castle, of whom it is said that he destroyed more warships than ever Nelson did. Mr. Castle was a shipbreaker, and was born in 1838, the year in which his predecessors in business broke up the famous "Fighting Temeraire." He is stated to have broken up more than 800 ships with an aggregate tonnage of 1,000,000. These included such vessels as the .Saucy Arethusa, the Princess Royal, the Collingwood, the Royal Albert, "the Duke of Edinburgh, the Colossus, the Camperdown, the Galatea (in which the late Duke of Edinburgh served as a midshipman), the Dido, the Gibraltar, the Duke of Wellington, the Algiers, the Hannibal, the Edgar, the Formidable, the Impregnable, with the whole of the class of twelve early wood-built armorplated ships, the Ocean, the Research, the Royal Oak, the Enterprise, the Favorite, the Lord Warden, the Prince Consort, the Pallas, the Caledonia, the Zealous, the Lord Clyde, and the Repulse; and the Indian troopships Euphrates and Serapis. It was in the Serapis that KinoEdward VII., when Prince of Wales, made tlie voyage to India in ISTo. Among ] the more recent ships which were broken up by Mr. Castle's firm on the Thames were the Ajax, the Alexandra, the Undaunted, the Conqueror, the Swiftsure, and the Thunderer. The London premises of the firm at the foot of Vauxha.ll bridge are well known, and the figureheads that adorn the gateways attract attention.
