The Scottish people put so many bags of Scottish soil into the Vessels as ballast. Admiral Studdert put the soil in his kitchen garden. This kitchen garden at the present day can grow anything imaginable but Shamrock. Tom Hennessy now lives in Admiral Studdert's house. The kitchen garden is still there and contains many very old apple trees.
