 According to legend, the Colossus of Rhodes was made of bronze and stood 110 feet high until an earthquake brought it down in 226 BC... It was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World... |
 This is the harbor near where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood... Wynkyn looked all over, but no trace of it remains today... The people on the island told Wynkyn the fallen Colossus had been sold for scrap metal centuries ago...
|
 This is another view of the harbor... In the background you can see the great castle built by the powerful secret society of the Knights Templar who maintained one of their strongholds on the island... |
