Prince Roy of Sealand

Posted on October 15th, 2012 by James Higham

A patriot, war hero, touch of the eccentric, beautiful wife, adventurous, canny in business, not afraid to try something new. Vale from this blog.

Condolences to Princess Joan and family.

One … two … three:

• Wired magazine profiled Sealand last year in a piece by Simson Garfinkle called “Welcome to Sealand, Now Bugger Off”.

• “The free world is just milliseconds away” at HavenCo’s Web site.

• Sealand claims it is the world’s tiniest sovereign state, but it usually doesn’t make the lists of the world’s smallest countries.

• Sealand’s own site offers a bit more history, a few more pictures, and a faq.

• Roy Bates claimed Fort Rough’s Tower under the Law of the Sea
