Naval telescope Long Caption: The telescope is thought to have belonged to Captain Maitland of the 'Bellerophon', whose name is inscribed on the brass collar of the barrel. This is the ship to which Napoleon surrendered off Rochefort in 1815 and which carried him from Ile d'Aix to Plymouth on route to his exile on the island of St Helena.
