Only after I copied the url to the address bar after right-clicking on the picture displayed (which is what Walter has shown).

In these matters, I cannot stress enough the importance of trying one's darnest.

Well, go ahead Imur. It's been a while since you did a place. I know nothing of such stuff. Perhaps before I die, I will learn something else.

Can you take the next turn? It's bed-time here.

Hey, Dutchy. Mr. Turtle's palindrome would indicate Napoleon, but you said your gravesite was not in Europe. Does your place have something to do with Bonaparte?

Well, my word, Dutchy. This was a surprise to me:

After his final defeat at Waterloo and his subsequent second exile, Napoleon Bonaparte spent 10 weeks on board the HMS Northumberland as it sailed him to the far-flung reaches of the South Atlantic.

His destination was St Helena, a small and windswept island under British control. Almost 2000 kilometres west of Africa, St Helena measured only 122 square kilometres (47 square miles) - half the size of his former home-in-exile, Elba.

So, he was exhumed and returned to France from this island, right?

Indeed Letty, it is Napoleon's gravesite on St Helena. The island of St. Helena was a rest stop on the trade route from Europe to the East Indies and is where Napoleon was exiled in 1815. It is South of the equator and 1200 miles West of the Southwestern African coast in the South Atlantic. It was the second place Napoleon was exiled after his final defeat at Waterloo in 1815. He died there in 1821. Napoleon's body was buried there until 1840 when his body was returned to Paris only to be buried temporarily a second time in St Jerome's Chapel. His tomb was completed in 1861 and his body now lies there within six separate coffins.

Your turm.
