Jenny Lind Figurehead-- Part 3: You Determine If It's the Real Thing

In his research, Svardskog found that the Nightingale had actually been in the vicinity atone time.  In 1874,  workers had a refit on the ship in Norway nearby.   The bow of the ship had been damaged  on a reef off the coast of Kargero.

Svardskog theorizes that the figurehead was removed when the work was done and never put back so it didn't go down with the ship.  As a matter of fact, the original boathouse of the Nightingale was also removed at the time and you can still see it at the repair yard in Norway.

At this point, you have to wonder if this is the real thing or not.

Well, now it is essentially up to the reader to determine if Mr. Svardskog's Jenny Lind figurehead is the real thing or not.  I like to think it is, but I always like finding buried or lost treasures.
