Above sign, now owned by Sean Cole in San Diego. Which incidentally ended up inside a bar called "Downtown Johnny Brown's," in the 1980s, unfortunately now (2018) closed after being taken there by the man who undertook the renovation of the bar. It is said he sailed there with the sign as part of the Colonel Whitbread's yacht in the America's cup race.
