The pub is closed, delicensed, and for sale but this appealing image remains although Guiseppe Garibaldi's signature red shirt has weathered to brown. Quite a number of British pubs were named for this popular Italian nationalist revolutionary hero who died in 1882 but since he was originally a merchant marine captain it's possible he actually visited Swansea in his seagoing days.
