Doug,
You wrote: "Greenwich England, home of the Prime Meridian, the Royal Observatory, Harrison's H-5".
Actually H1-H4 are at Greenwich but H5 is in the Clockmaker's Museum now located within the Science Museum in South Kensington http://www.clockmakers.org/the-clockmakers-museum-library/the-clockmakers-museum-library/
I was fortunate enough to see all Harrison's chronometers H1-H5 in one place during the Ships, Clocks & Stars exhibition when it was at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The original chronometers are not part of the exhibition's world tour,
