Britannia Guarding the Harbour

Great Yarmouth Norfolk view map

DEATH BY BEAUTY
In 1863 an Acrobat named Marsh
Climbed of the viewing platform
on to the Shoulders of Britannia
He lost his footing on the way down
It is said he was overcome by the beauty of Britannia's face
and fell to his death in front of startled audience
