From the Roseate Tern taking flight against the backdrop of wooden buildings in Madeira, Portugal, to the quaint Russian villages of Irkutsk and Taltsy in Siberia, they have stood the test of time. Their history echoes in the wind, telling tales of Jingling Jocund Jumpers and naval reviews at Spithead. In England, they've served as a refuge for defenders of her wooden walls at Greenwich Hospital. Across the globe in Nulato, Alaska, they reflect the winter sunrise at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Mission. These wooden walls, a testament to resilience and tradition, continue to stand, from the oak forests of early 19th century England to the present day.
