HMS ORLANDO.. While visiting England some years ago, I came upon
a ship's wheel that has written in gold leaf around the supporting rim the
name "Taku Forts China 1900" and continuing around the
designation of "HMS Orlando". I would like to have some
documentation, if possible, on the role of the HMS Orlando during the
Boxer Rebellion. If anyone has any information please contact me at brucecr@aol.com If
