its man made, every male and female need one. If you saw it in a shop you wouldn't buy it & if someone buys it for you, you wouldn't see it.

"Horatio Nelson used to keep a coffin stored upright in his cabin onboard his ship. This wooden coffin was made from the main mast of Napoleon's French battleship L'Orient that Nelson had sunk off Aboukir Bay, in Egypt in 1798. not necessarily...

"Captain Benjamin Hallowell who was also present at the battle, is said to have ordered his carpenter to make the coffin using both the L'Orient's wood and also some of the ship's iron. He then sent it to Horatio Nelson as a present.
Nelson is said to have been so pleased with the macabre gift that he kept it with him at all times. When Nelson died he was taken on shore in the wooden coffin and after lying in state at the naval hospital at Greenwich was eventually buried in it."
