Gibraltar

Gibraltar, known as 'the Rock', is a British-owned point of land at the southern end of Spain, just inside the entrance of the Mediterranean. It lies across a natural harbour from Algeciras, and is dominated by the Rock itself, which is 1398 foot high and towers over the town as its foot. It is a major British base, although it does not boast a dockyard. There is a military hospital in the town. HMS Terpsichore visited in August 1809.
