Natural History Museum Science Sarah Woodfin NHM Botany We don't know a lot about Mr George but he made a very large and significant collection of seaweeds from places he visited on holidays. I like to think of him floating out this enormous seaweed in the lodgings bath tub and getting in trouble with the landlady! If only we knew!
