Blue plaque commemorating Alec Rose's circumnavigation in ''Lively Lady'' Sir Alec Rose (13 July 1908 – 11 January 1991) was a nursery owner and fruit merchant in England. After serving in the Royal Navy during World War II, he developed a passion for amateur single-handed sailing. He took part in the second single-handed Atlantic race in 1964 and circumnavigated the globe single-handedly in 1967–68, for which he was knighted. His boat ''Lively Lady'' is still seaworthy and is used for sail training by a charity. Provided by Wikipedia
