Proposal Description

The search and possible identification for the Miles Barton (1861) will allow for in depth study of the controversial historic event of the looting of the Emperor's Summer Palace in China in 1860 by French and British troops and correct the wrong. Today it is the wish of millions that the so shamefully looted “booty" may one day be returned to humanity and the rightful owners, the people of China. Ryspunt, Western Cape.
