Whale Sharks & The Castle of Otranto

Two of the new pages on Saint Helena Island Info.

This is the update announcement:

Whale Sharks are important to St Helena! They were previously discussed with Dolphin Watching but now have a page of their own: http://sainthelenaisland.info/whalesharks.htm.
We'd previously mentioned the mystery of the Castle of Otranto, but now we know more so it has a page of it's own: http://sainthelenaisland.info/otranto.htm.
The latest Wirebird census results are at http://sainthelenaisland.info/wirebird.htm#wirebirdcensus
Did Mattie John lose a plot of land in a card game? It seems the story may be true! Check it out at http://sainthelenaisland.info/characters.htm#mattyjohn
Photos of the finished Rock Rose were released recently. We have these and of the work-in-progress at http://sainthelenaisland.info/savedbuildings.htm#rockrose (and also a few of the work-in-progress at Teutonic Hall).
