- ALT1:... that the Jersey Maritime Museum (part of collection pictured) displays a 7.5 million stich tapestry depicting life under Nazi occupation that was worked on by thousands of islanders? "What is amazing about the project is that although there were a core of 'stitchers' in each parish, over the few years that it took for all the panels to be completed, thousands of Islanders, as well as visitors to Jersey, put a few stitches in the Occupation Tapestry panels ... In all, the twelve panels contain 7,520,256 stitches" from: "The Occupation Tapestry, Jersey, Channel Islands - commemorating liberation from 5 years of Nazi rule". History Alive. 13 May 2017.
