Where have all the improvements gone? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I could have also titled this "Where did the Wonders go?", because this is really two questions rolled into one.
I went to war with England a few turns before an announcement was made that England had completed the Sistine Chapel. About 700 years later (something is really askew with the whole time frame in this game!) I captured London, but, when I opened the city screen, not only wasn't the Wonder listed, there weren't ANY improvements in the city at all. Now, I understand that the battle can result in the destruction of some of the improvements and the loss of some of the population, but should it result in the destruction of ALL of them, including the Wonders?
So here are my two questions:

1. Is this a new thing in Civ3 that ALL improvements are destroyed when you capture a city, and,
2. Where is the Civ2-like button that will list where the Wonders have been built (Maybe England didn't build the Chapel in London)?
3. And while I'm at it, where's the "Top 5 Cities" button?

OK, that's really three questions.

F7 for list of wonders. It was probably not in London.

F11 for Top-5.

All of the F keys do cool stuff. F8's my favorite,

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Wonders shouldn't disappear when conquering a city. Improvements might; I've had instances of a few improvements surviving a capture (harbors and aqueducts) but I notice that most are destroyed.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

most improvements are sold for shields to produce defending units when your armies approach. Only when I do a blitzkrieg rush do I actually have a harbor, temple, or granary. Good thing you can't sell the aquaduct...
