**Where does Commander Frank Arthur Worsley stand?**

In Akaroa, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps no listed place within 300m of it.

The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node, way or relation tagged memorial or artwork inside the city boundary (ODbL). Maker, material and date fields are the mapper’s own, kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a catalogue record.
