⚓ When ship really hit the rocks. A storm. A fog. A frigate on the edge of disaster. In 1835, HMS Pique ran aground on uncharted rocks off Labrador. Her keel shattered, her hull torn open, and yet, somehow, she made it home. The secret? A incredible feat of seamanship and a single stone, wedged tight in the hole beneath her hull, holding back the Atlantic. That very stone now stands in the Porters Garden at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, a reminder of the day naval skill and a little bit of luck
