SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS This is part of the web site of
Shakespeare's sonnets SHAKESPEARE'S LONDON A view of St. Pauls
circa 1616 From Visscher's Panoramic view of London circa 1616.
The ships in the foreground are the eel ships, and the Galley
fuste(?). The church lost its steeple in 1561. It was later
burned in the Great Fire of London, and replaced by the present
St. Pauls, designed by Wren. Beneath St. Paul's is the Three
Cranes wharf. The three cranes are just visible. To the left of
them is Queen's Hythe, another wharf. The windmill centre left
sits on top of a building with a coat of arms on it, and is part
of the Water House, no doubt used for pumping water. The Globe
