The 'Corona' was designed and built by Peed of Oulton, who had built several fast-sailing boats.

He was buried in the corona at Canterbury, where his tomb yet remains.

Earlier in the year, a double corona had been seen when the moon was shining through cirro-cumulus clouds.

This gives the symbol a yet closer likeness to the corona, whose "polar rays" are remarkably like the tail feathers of a bird.

The bird that "shows off" merely runs along the ground with corona fully expanded.

I leant over her head, within a foot of the Corona on the forehead, and closely observed the wounds.
